lol I misread your post as saying he'd won the speakership, then saw this elsewhere
Im personally not a big fan of all of his polices. Comparatively he seems to be a better choice than his contemporaries, but thats just my view as a Minnesotan.
At least he voted to certify the fucking election.
That's a low bar to clear but I'm glad to hear he did
