We've observed the chaos within the Republican Party, particularly regarding their struggles to choose an electable Speaker of the House.

The Republicans hold a majority in Congress, giving them the power to either stop someone from becoming Speaker or select the Speaker.

Despite their majority, the Republicans have faced challenges in agreeing on a candidate for the position of Speaker of the House.

Republicans have been successful in blocking candidates they disagree with from becoming Speaker.

Finding a candidate that garners enough consensus within the Republican Party has proven to be a significant challenge.

Bias, influenced by individual perspectives, plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of selecting a Speaker of the House.

The Republican Party must find a way to bridge their differences and unite behind a candidate to fill the role of Speaker effectively.
