Democrats joined Rep. Matt Gaetz and seven other Republicans this week to vote Rep. Kevin McCarthy out of the House speakership.
McCarthy also went to the table with concessions for opposing Democrats in raising the debt ceiling this past summer. That deal maintained much of Biden’s student debt relief plan, secured only two years of spending caps , and left intact $369 billion in clean energy incentives that were a major part of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. McCarthy was also apparently willing to compromise with Biden on Ukraine funding amid partisan chaos.
Gaetz and company are now the dog that caught the car but assuredly have no plan as to how to drive it. That can only mean what likely follows their small rebellion are decisions made by fingers in the wind. More importantly, with a government shutdown impending by mid-November, throwing the House into chaos was doubly unwise. Democrats control the White House and the Senate, with a sizable minority in the House.
