G.O.P.'s Buck Won't Seek Re-Election, Citing His Party's Election Denialism

8. Buck and Granger could have witheld their votes for Johnson.

Neither is running for reelection.
Buck says the party has lost it's way, but voted for a Speaker that has wandered way deep into darkness under the guise of being "deeply religious".
Granger, who is 80, cites age as the reason for not running again.
Neither of these two had anything to lose by holding out for a better candidate. Besides, Johnson would have won anyway since he got 220 votes, and 218 would have still elected him.
So what we have here are two Republicans who supported Johnson even when they didn't have to. They did it because they wanted to. They either didn't care about his position on issues, or held similar positions.
Typical of Republicans in the House.
