Because everyone, the 20 holdouts, the 202 McCarthy supporters, and the Dems are raking in cash from this drama.

Plus, you kind of have to figure the DS is getting a lot of benefit from this, at the moment anyway. Republicans are divided and appear to have no plan to leverage their majority. Whomever ends up as Speaker will start out with huge challenges within the Republican caucus. Every day of delay is a day where Jordan can’t sink his teeth into investigating the DS.

I don’t want a guy like McCarthy as Speaker, and it’s weird that no one credible, meaning they can win, is stepping up to be an alternative. I’m sticking with the hope this is all a staged drama. And, that regardless of who becomes Speaker, NCSWIC still applies.
