      I mean, if we’re talking about what’s likely, it seems to me the House will simply stay in Speaker-less gridlock and chaos for the entire 45 days until the government shuts down again.

      Yes, I believe it’s significantly more likely that any four of Gaetz, Biggs, Buck, Burchett, Crane, Good, Mace, and Rosendale will agree to some McCarthy-like speaker rather than letting the Democrats win and get a more bipartisan House where the far-right would have less power to drive the agenda.
