Sounds like we may have 6 votes (Gaetz and crew) at least to vacate from Rs. Including potential others who are unknowns.
Assuming all the Ds also vote then that would be enough to vacate.

McCarthy was the compromise candidate though...
Yeah... I'm not really sure what the hell they're going to do. It would be hilarious if some moderate Republicans basically went "fuck this noise" and voted for Jeffreys.
