It may be too much to expect them to fix the situation on their own.
Who out there picked nine months in the office betting pool for how long Kevin McCarthy would survive as House speaker? Go ahead. Raise your hands. Looks like you’re due a victory lap.
And so here we go again. The House’s chaos is reminiscent of McCarthy’s ordeal back in January, when he went 15 rounds with his right-wing rebels, until he finally wore them down enough to squeak into power. As for the Democrats, before the ouster vote there was much speculation that they might cut a deal with McCarthy to help him keep his fancy title. That obviously didn’t pan out when he publicly declared that he would not offer them anything.
Others were overtly political — and borderline ridiculous — such as making the speaker promise that the National Republican Congressional Committee wouldn’t spend money against vulnerable Democrats next year.
