Donald Trump

It happened right away because there are two Republicans that were sworn in.

with you know elected on April 1st sworn in on April 2nd in a pro forma session less than 24 hours from their election two republicans from Florida Petronas and Fine and then their representative Walkinshaw was elected and sworn in less than 24 hours later so those are the three that this speaker that's sort of the precedent that this speaker has set and so with me

I assumed, you know, votes were canceled on the 29th and 30th, which were the next few votes after I got elected.

And I thought, OK, fine, it'll be October 7th.

This speaker is choosing to close the House, but there is absolutely no reason for the House to be closed right now.

And so the excuses are just that.

They're just excuses.

My race was certified.

70% of the vote, nearly 70%, almost 40 points ahead of my nearest opponent.

So there's no argument.

I won.

Yep.

Oh, I absolutely would.

And I would be the 218th signer, which is the vote needed to, you know, push a vote on the floor over the Epstein files.

So initially it was interesting because on my victory night, like the celebration, somebody came up to me and said, you know, he's not going to swear you in because of those Epstein files.

And I thought, oh my gosh, that's a lot of conspiracy theory.

But here we are.

Did not think that this would be on my bingo card.

To like people know me because I'm not working.

But yeah, that's where we are.
