Dec 31

and in Jan. 2021 after the 2020 election. But there was wiggle room for her to lose votes among Democrats without needing the GOP to take her over the top - especially for the Jan. 2019 SOH vote (with (D)s at 235 and (R)s at 200).

In Jan. 2019, the split was (D) 222 - (R) 213, which is what we saw with the (R)s after the 2022 election, but there were some vacancies during that Pelosi vote, along with some who didn't vote (out with COVID), and a few who voted "present" - https://thehill.com/homenews/house/532444-pelosi-wins-speakership-for-fourth-time-in-dramatic-vote/

In the case of the GOP after the 2022 election and McCarthy - there was (and still is) a group of radical RW loons who were headed up by Gaetz and MTG, who made sure to make things as painful as could be to extract concessions out of the eventual winner, for the new House Rules.
