-McCarthy and Trump worked together to retake the House in 2022
-McCarthy, so far, had delivered on oversight, whistleblowers, impeachment inquiry and a number of other promises. (Though not all)
Considering these facts, it’s no surprise that Dems joined with Gaetz to take McCarthy out. The incentives were in their favor, which should give Republicans and MAGA cause for circumspection here.
And while folks are celebrating this “win” as if it helps MAGA, the Dems are celebrating that the House, oversight and impeachment are at a stand still and the GOP is fractured, effectively dysfunctional.
Best case scenario is that this, McCarthy as Speaker, turns out to be a “Scaramucci model”, a “temp hire by design”.
That’s what I am hoping for, though I don’t see how that develops from this point forward.
