I dislike this worm of a Speaker as much as anyone... it’s a matter of timing. It’s too much risk for a gesture. A new Congress will be seated in January, we can take up the Speaker-ship fight then... also then we’ll have the clarity of knowing our numbers.
On the plus side, Republicans would benefit in the election with a radical like Jefferies running his mouth as Speaker.
It's irrelevant anyway since the Democrats have already said they'd save Johnson.
It's amusing anyone is fretting over this.
Good thinking. This is a risky move.
