It takes to to tango. One would expect the so called majority party to stop dissing the opposition and make the first move in a matter like this. However the two factions of the Party of Irresponsibility seems deeply entrenched in wanting to elect McCarthy or die trying.
Can't rule out attrition, one GOP a member is out tomorrow for surgery, another's wife had a baby this week and he's potentially no going to be around. Democrats seem happy just to put up Jefferies (who keeps getting the overall plurality).
Bottom line from this partisan, one party has no real desire to govern.
