If Kevin McCarthy wants any Democrats to vote against the motion to vacate the chair that would end his speakership, he had better make some concessions their way, rather than remain ever beholden to the far-right radicals in Congress. One concession I can think of: End the silly “impeachment inquiry” of Joe Biden launched at the request of the MAGA right. It’s a politicized farce with no evidence, and he knows it. No concessions, no support.

Qevin doesn't want a single Democratic vote.
The only vote he wants is that of Trump.
Remember that Trump wanted a shutdown. Qevin went against that and Trump hasn't gone ballistic.
Probably because Trump allowed him to put forth the CR.
Qevin is Speaker as long as Trump allows him. 222 Republicans are enough to keep him Speaker.
@98042630 that would be if the Dems are actually acting intelligently 🤷♂️
So far they have squandered a lot of opportunities to force beneficial outcomes, for what reason?
Who the hell knows?
