Rep. Matt Gaetz is planning to attempt to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the role this week after the House leader worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday.

Honestly, if McCarthy has to stand at a podium and admit to pundits and such that he is asking the Democrats for help and that they gave it to him, that could be very useful for the Democrats if they know how to use it. Especially if they can get McConnell or someone praising the bipartisan action.
McConnel doesn’t even know where he is anymore half the time. Wouldn’t count on him.
Isn’t there anyone else, less on deaths door, that could do this?
The only reason I brought him up is that he has been very vocal about the dysfunction in the house, and was working on the bipartisan senate agreement. So he’s always shown some capacity for common sense here.
I can’t stand the dude but yeah. The most likely outcome is McCarthy is just going to be left twisting in the wind.
