Truth is, McCarthy was NEVER gonna step aside for a different nominee...while I'm sure we all would have preferred Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, or DJT, there is no way the establishment would have let that happen. They wouldn't have had the votes unless and until McCarthy stepped aside and maybe not even then..IIRC he gave in to the demands around round 7 and they kept spanking for another 7 rounds!🤣
