This vote goes the way we believe it s going to go and there s not going to be kevin m ccarthy there s not a lot of family around. there s not a lot of celebrator atmosphere tonight with these members. it is custom of the house if you have a child 16 years and younger are to be able to be on the floor at any given time. so there is always something funny going on with that. i can tell you i have two daughters with me and it was a very emotional moment. you bring your own bible and yo price or handed you get sworn i two congress. it is a neat moment. you get a picture taken. it is just a light moment. to a lot of people getting swor in for the first time. it something that very few people get to do. that sad that they have to miss that moment that there will be some ceremonial things along th way. ....
