This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won't bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn't want to lose his title. Cool democracy.
The other option would be to cut a deal with the democrats to support him staying speaker just to give a massive middle finger to the traitor caucus.
But that would require a spine and a modicum of political wherewithal. McCarthy has neither, so its going to be interesting to see how this turns out.
Nah, McCarthy is fucked either way because cutting a deal with Democrats will mean getting primaried when he's up for reelection.
That's likely to happen anyway because he put himself in a no win scenario. The hard liners' demands can't make it through the Senate, because even the Senate Republicans aren't onboard with that shit.
So it's cut a deal with the Democrats to keep the government open, and get primaried, or shutdown the government and weaken the party in 2024... And get primaried because his speakership was disastrous.
Gaetz's imaginary door #3 doesn't exist, and McCarthy knows it.
