There are 435 votes in the election for Speaker.
Thanks. So it’s just any other vote.
My money is that the Democrats will know how many votes short he is, identify ‘moderates’ on their side of the aisle, and order them to vote for McCarthy to ensure he’s the Speaker. Out of his willingness to reach across the aisle and whatever other BS they’ll come up with.
And it’s the status quo for 2 more years.
