Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) discusses the ongoing issue of House Republicans electing a Speaker.
Transcript
00:00 So how tense was it at that?
00:02 You know, it was open mic.
00:04 It was, um, there were some people that were venting, but nothing too over the top.
00:08 Nothing we hadn't heard before.
00:10 What were they venting about?
00:11 You know, just, hey, folks, follow the rules.
00:15 You know, that's what we did. We followed the rules.
00:18 And it mainly got onto the unifying message.
00:23 And that's what everybody was talking about, unity.
00:26 What did they detail in terms of things that you guys will be voting on in terms of raising the threshold for that?
00:32 That will be decided in conference, but I believe that was more just about we're going to vote on speakers.
00:38 So then did anyone put themselves up for majority leader or talk about majority leader position, whip, or anything like that at all?
00:45 Not in that meeting, no. It wasn't the time for it.
00:48 I think that's, that'll be decided at a later date.
00:50 Does it sound like there's going to be a vote on raising the threshold on the motion to vacate also?
00:54 That's talked, but nobody knows if we're going to do that or not.
00:57 And I think the majority would probably vote to do that, as you know.
01:02 But any of that would happen on Wednesday, right?
01:04 Correct. Correct.
01:06 All right. Thanks.
01:07 Appreciate it.
01:08 Thank you.
01:09 I'm sorry if I missed you.
