Kevin McCarthy will never be Speaker of the House. It's painfully obvious that republicans are unable to choose a speaker without help, and that help will never be given to the extremists who participated in the attempted coup, or anyone who isn't strong enough to stand up to the most radicle of their party. There are already discussions with multiple moderate republicans who are willing to make reasonable concessions to gain the 112 Democratic votes the eventual winner absolutely needs to have. No corroborating link ---- yet, because these discussions are necessarily not public, but it's obvious that McCarthy has at least 5 who will never vote for him, and the math says he can't be elected with 5 of his own party opposing him. .
