Not surprising, but his odds are fairly long after this power play.
The real question is, will those who stood behind him last time continue to stand behind him now. If so, then we’re right back to the beginning of this Congress and it could take much longer to settle on a successor.
In the meantime, the house cannot do even more damage to the country, so there is that to consider, even if only a short reprieve.
I think the real question is, will he resign and let Newsom appoint a Democrat.
