The 118th Congress will run until January 3rd, 2025. This market resolves YES if at any point from now until the end of the 118th Congress, there is a "McSpeaker". I will not bet in this market to keep a level head about what a "McSpeaker" is. For instance, McCarthy or McHenry being elected speaker (not speaker pro tempore) would qualify. Surprisingly, Hern being elected speaker would also qualify, due to his association with McDonalds franchises and his nickname as a McCongressman.

If another speaker candidate emerges with a strong claim to being a McSpeaker, I would also consider that.

Edit 10/23: Byron Donalds also qualifies (Mc"Donalds" obviously).

This question is managed and resolved by Manifold.

Almost just resolved this NO but then I realized there’s still a year left for a potential McSpeaker XD

Even more than a year. The 118 Congress doesn't end until January 3, 2025.

key typo by a hill reporter for this market

@SemioticRivalry "taking the boys out for some mickey D's after this long, thirst-inducing speaker race"

This market premise is hilarious.

When @Joshua made that joke about Hearns I didn't even know it was a nickname:

A former McDonalds franchise owner dubbed 'McCongressman' wants to be the GOP's next House Majority Leader — and he's handing out McGriddles to win his colleagues over

GOP Rep. Kevin Hern, a former McDonald's franchise owner, wants to be House Majority Leader.So he's handing out Bacon, Egg and Cheese McGriddles to his fellow

Any candidates who like MC5 (the leftist rock group) should qualify. Also anyone who got a donation from McDonalds...

@MaybeNotDepends hmm, worried about McSpeaker concept creep here

I think there's an argument that Congressman Donalds should also qualify.

@Joshua this is absolutely correct, an incredible oversight from the McSpeaker committee; description has been adjusted
