It's not the right time.
We do not want a Speaker Jeffries heading into the 2024 Presidential election.

I respect your position. And you well might be right. But it’s always brass knuckles time for the Democrats. And it’s always wait until later time for the GOP.
The plan is for Jeffries to be speaker before the election regardless of what MTG does.
Secondly, what the hell difference would it make if Jefferies took over? Democrats still wouldn't have the votes to pass anything radical. The Republicans in the Senate could filibuster legislation if necessary.
The worst that happens is the endless Republican investigations to nowhere would end.
On the plus side, a radical like Jefferies being Speaker would probably help Republicans in the election.
Not the right time? When the bacon is sizzling then it is time to break the eggs to make the omelette... Mikey is an egg...
