Personally Rick, I don’t think most Americans give an owl’s hoot who is speaker of the house. Heck, over 30% of all Americans didn’t know who McCarthy was, over 40% have no idea who Hakeem Jeffries is. We’re back to that 32% of all Americans who follow politics closely which means 68% don’t. That shouldn’t be a surprise. On average 55% vote in presidential elections, meaning 45% don’t care who’s president. Midterms are much lower averaging around 40% who turnout to vote.

I can tell you this, over the last 3 weeks the needle for the generic congressional ballot hasn’t moved. People are still planning on voting for the same congressional party, candidates they were planning on voting for prior to the ouster of McCarty and all the chaos that occurred since then.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
