I’m not sure what happens if a House speaker can’t be appointed - do Democrats like Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar get to keep their committee assignments? If so, Goetz and the others need to get behind McCarthy - the lesser of two evils and all that.
At this point it’s either McCarthy or God forbid a Democrat could become speaker.
Ultimately, it would be nice to have a far bigger Republican majority in the House ,,so that it wouldn’t come down to a handful of guys whose votes are needed to elect the speaker.
But as of today this is the hand we are dealt.
That is are seemingly unchangable eternal fate..the lesser of two. evils...otherwise,known as a RINO,neocon and/or GOPe.

Forgot deep state,too.
It requires a majority of House members to elect a Speaker. When they vote it doesn’t matter what Party they are in. What matters is who they vote for. So, if a small group of Republicans decide to go for someone else that the Democrats will support then that person will become the Speaker. So, most likely it’ll be Hakeem Jefferies who becomes Speaker if Gaetz/McCartby don’t come to a meeting of the minds.
Tbe Constitution of the USA was built upon a foundation of the principle of Compromise. That’s what will be needed. If the Republicans don’t figure this out then yes Jefferies will be Speaker, the Dems will run all the committees, and Biden/Harris will pursue their agenda/re-election to establish the Democrats as the permanent ruling party in America.
