I don't think it will happen. If it does, I think that the Republics will get blamed, and I think there is too much concern on their side about the upcoming elections to make them allow this to happen.

Losers? The Maga caucus for now.

But maybe the real loser ends up being McCarthy.

Woo hoo!!

Now, they will repeat this in 45 days, so will be interesting how that goes.

But, the Republics are running out of ways to look good in this matter. Whether or not it really matters in next November is another question.

Not happy about the limitation they put on aid to Ukraine. This worries me greatly. Not so much for this particular one, but for the potential for that to become GOP orthodoxy.
