Does he stay in the house?
It’s rather hard to imagine. But it’s also hard to imagine another office he could seek as a California Republican.
What does he do?

I've heard grumblings that he'll retire, but I've also read that he really, really wants to stick it to Gaetz. He probably has enough support to do that.

By the way, wasn't one of his concessions to Gaetz to get the votes to allow one person to put forth a motion to vacate, rather than four?
