Democrats shouldn't have nayed the adjournment call.

Should have let McCarthy and the Republicans get bad press all weekend…..because of the nay vote and then the subsequent roll call vote, it gave republicans time to talk and convince the holdouts to vote present.

If McCarthy doesn't become speaker.

I assume he would resign, right? Which will help us for awhile because the house will become 221-213 until Newsom calls a special election. I mean no way he would want to stay around after getting rejected. Yeah, I know that he stayed in Congress the first time he seeked the role when Ryan got it, but this time is different.
