What might Gaetz’s angle be, here? One possibility is that it signals a partial surrender by him and his inner circle (i.e., a willingness to give up some of their influence in order to get Jordan elected).
But it also might mean something different. I might be a move to expose the 20-something GOP holdouts. If they’re really holding out because they don’t want to reward Gaetz for ousting McCarthy, Gaetz and his inner circle’s willingness to give up some of their power should be an acceptable concession for getting them to vote for Jordan. But if their reasons for opposing Jordan have more to do with Jordan himself and not Gaetz, this will expose them.
“...if their reasons for opposing Jordan have more to do with Jordan himself...”
Bingo.
