It's because the election of SOTH involves the entire House, Dems included, and would not be done until 2024 (absent a SOTH removal).
As I understand it, Mister Gaetz forces a new election before the terms expire. Corrections invited.
That said, whomever runs against Mister Gaetz in the forthcoming primary will receive a contribution from me and my fam.
