So how long is it until the House needs to pass a government funding bill or a debt ceiling increase? Those are the only things the House really needs to do, so technically they could keep this stalemate going until then if the GOP can't get their shit together.

Funding the government? September, I think. The HFC is fucking pissed about it. When they nominate someone in these speaker votes they get to give a little speech and almost all of them have spent most of the time ranting how pissed they are that McConnell allowed the last Congress to fund the government in the lame duck instead of letting them force a crisis over with their new House majority and painting McCarthy as part of that same group.

Debt ceiling would come first, I think. Actual day depends on stuff because the government can pull some tricks to buy time and actually had to last time but I think sometime in the first half of the year.
