Even if a motion was made and voted on, they wouldn’t vote him out. Just more kabuki theater, the favorite show in down.

People here are operating under a misunderstanding.

A motion to vacate the chair has to carry the WHOLE HOUSE, not the Republican caucus.

This means it takes 218 votes to kick McCarthy out. Since having him there is good for the Democratic caucus, they can, if they want put 214 “no” votes on the board, on demand.

This also means that a motion to vacate, starting with 214 “no” votes, can only lose FOUR GOP members to the “no” side, when McCarthy probably has 190-200 core supporters.

On the flip side, four “conservatives” could join 214 Democrats to kick McCarthy out, easily. But what then?

Are there not four liberal Republicans who would prefer Jeffries to a conservative? Of course there are. There are probably 50+.
