What if ryan loses

That would almost certainly make Nancy Pelosi Speaker again. Of course, it might be a challenge for her—the new Democratic majority, if there is one, will be thin, and most of the new members will be from Red districts, with several pushed by their local politics to reject Pelosi.

But there would not likely be an internal challenger, and her popularity within her caucus, along with her tireless efforts to elect those Democrats, would work very much for her.

Assuming that Clinton wins, what if Democrats fall short in taking back the House? That is where the dynamics get so interesting. Democrats will certainly pick up seats—most likely, a minimum of ten to fifteen, more likely twenty or more. That would reduce the GOP margin substantially, to perhaps five to ten seats.

And, as I have written before, the Republican departures, both voluntary and involuntary, will come disproportionately from leadership loyalist ranks, strengthening the hand and role of both Freedom Caucus radicals and other Trumpist populists. Freedom Caucus member Rep. They might confront Ryan after the election and before the Republican Conference votes to choose its candidate for Speaker, demanding concessions that would include cutting discretionary spending even more sharply, returning to the use of the debt ceiling as a hostage to force the new President Clinton to capitulate to their demands, and refusing to cooperate with her on any area of public policy—a set of demands Ryan could not accept without destroying his capacity to lead, along with deepening governmental dysfunction beyond its current sorry state.

But if he forges forward, what could happen? Then JoJo Diaz seemed keener to meet Garcia than the outright champion once he stepped up with a win over Javier Fortuna. He came back during the pandemic. Instead of waiting, he was ready because the pandemic there was no action.

So we allowed him to do a voluntary with [Yuriorkis] Gamboa. He just fought Jorge Linares and had a great victory in a high-profile fight. Garcia was the interim champion when he expressed his mental issues, his mental health issues, the WBC offered absolute support, and we praise him too for coming out.

But he was still a man in a hurry: Confronted with a line of 30 people ahead of him at his Janesville, Wis. He then took off for one last whirlwind day of campaigning. He joined Romney in Richland Heights, Ohio, where they dropped in on volunteer workers at a strip-mall campaign office.

This is a day where we work hard, where we get our country back on track," he told them. Then he and Romney went around the corner to a Wendy's. Ryan, the No. Romney paid. He arrived in Boston on Tuesday evening, watching the returns with his family from his hotel room before reuniting with Romney at an election party across town.
