McCarthy- Now what?

[jon-nyc]

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?

[George K]

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.

[George K]

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?

One site cited the fable of the scorpion and the frog.

[Mik]

It's an appropriate metaphor.
