Na the "Freedom caucus" are fighting against the status quo. They just want to replace it with something far far worse. They make the status quo look good by comparison.

From the article -

Republicans in the room told Punchbowl News that Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) repeatedly refused to answer questions from at least three colleagues about his "plan."

He just rambled and didnt directly answer questions. No plan. Didnt unify or inspire the conference," one member told John Bresnahan.

A lot of remaining options are not palatable.

  • McHenry gets expanded powers so Israel and govt funding can be addressed
  • Dems vote present
  • GOP in Biden districts vote present
  • Dems negotiate a coalition govt
  • GOP finds someone who will just fill the seat

There's also: systematically expel Republican congressmen who vote against SotH. I'm sure the Democrats would be happy to pitch in to get to that 2/3rds vote.

https://www.axios.com/2023/10/11/republican-speaker-vote-ken-buck-2020-election

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said he voted "present" during the GOP's internal speaker nomination poll because neither House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) nor Rep Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) would clearly say if they believe the 2020 election was legitimate.

This is from yesterday. Hopefully he's not the only one.

voting present basically just removes them from the pool so the # of votes required for majority is lower
