6 repubs voted him out, and the democrats previously agreed to vote him out en bloc. So, he's lost already.
Now 7 Repubs. It's entirely over.
Booting McCarthy would be bipartisan!

What if he has made a deal?
With whom?
The interest of Dems is to vote him out, to flex their power, and THEN, to enter into negotiations to support a moderate R Speaker, in exchange for concessions. But they need to sink McCarthy first, to prove what they're willing to do and why he, or someone else, needs to come to them hat in hand.

If McCarthy loses, then they go through the whole January rigmarole again? What other Republicans are in contention for speaker?
Loving theGOP shitshow - do not care who it would be because GOP has no plan to govern and should be exposed as what they are.

Also a reminder that McCarthy did nothing to stop the sham impeachment investigation into Biden. Democrats owe him nothing.

I am enjoying the debate within GOP house - McCarthy or not - chaos would live on.

No reason to bail him out now. Once he’s out, there will be serial votes for the next speaker and McCarthy will be one of the candidates. Jeffries can offer his votes to McCarthy or some other candidate who will give him concessions. Jeffries will have more leverage at that point.

Treason. The Democrats have a responsibility to Speaker McCarthy and the non-MAGA GOP to confirm McCarthy as Speaker. It's incredibly selfish of Jeffries to be SO ambitious that he throws McCarthy under the bus.
Jeffries was supposed to build a better relationship with the Speaker than did Nancy Pelosi. Yeah. Instead he stabs McCarthy in the back at the darkest hour.
The Democrats should confirm McCarthy with no conditions. If the GOP Conference comes back and holds to the 8% spending cuts, well elections have consequences. Don't overthrow McCarthy's victory because he's dealing with his own AOCs.
. . . ," he said ironically.
