How about 6 Repubs vote "present" and we go on with Rep Jeffries as our new Speaker of the House? Cause this has got to be super embarrassing for McCarthy. Looks like he's on his way to losing for the 11th time. #USPolitics #USHouseofRep

That would cause a lot of problems down the road because it would be a Speaker trying to manage votes of a chamber opposed to him. It would mean this gridlock on into the future.
But Democrats are free to vote present which would also end the gridlock in a way that has a speaker aligned with the majority.
