I might be missing something, but wouldn’t it be a good thing to keep a speaker who, even if they are a republican, is willing to cave to/work with the Democratic Party on important issues? The fact that the likes of Matt Gaetz are led the removal effort makes me think it would’ve been good to keep McCarthy as speaker. Wouldn’t he just be replaced with someone even worse?
