Скачать или смотреть GOP Defies Democrats: Appoints Speaker In Boycotted Minnesota House Session | India Today

In an unprecedented turn of events, Democrats boycotted the first day of Minnesota House session, aiming to thwart Republicans from using a fleeting one-seat majority to oust a Democratic member. However, the GOP moved forward regardless, electing former Minority Leader Lisa Demuth as the speaker of the House in what has been described as a "sham proceeding" by Democratic leaders. This contentious session began with applause for Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon, who was there to initiate proceedings as per state law, only to find himself addressing an empty Democratic side of the chamber. With no Democrats present to form a quorum, Simon declared the session adjourned, but this didn't deter the Republicans who, with 67 members, claimed they had the necessary quorum to conduct business. This bold move by the GOP to appoint a speaker has set the stage for a legal challenge from the Democrats, questioning the legitimacy of the session's outcomes.
