Fox News sounds the alarm
With House Republican Mike Gallagher announcing his early retirement on the day House Republican Ken Buck’s early retirement became official, you no longer need one hand to do the House majority math – you only need one finger.
Even as the Democrats start talking about the possibility of Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker before the end of the current term, Fox News is now predicting the same thing:

In other words we’re not at the point where Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker during this term is no longer just a theoretical flight of fancy, and is instead a realistic scenario that might actually happen. Stay tuned.
