What's the over and under? I'll bet that at least a dozen won't join McCarthy.
ETA: George II has said that the vote will now be a voice vote.

let American know who is voting against democracy and for fascism.

(205,405 posts)6. She stands a better chance if it's a secret ballot
Anyone who openly supports her will meet the same fate. Look what happened to Romney, and he was their previous nominee.

(67,782 posts)7. McCarthy wimped out, there was a voice vote! Like everything else he does, he's a coward.
How did he get to be the leader in the house in the first place? He's horrible.

I'll stick with 12 dissenters though.
