The Democrats and Joe Biden Offer Concessions on the Debt Ceiling
McCarthy could get out of jail free card if he ends up being speaker. Democrats and a couple moderate Republicans or sensible Republicans can file a discharge petition to force a vote on a clean debt ceiling in the House. McCarthy could say I'm against this a lot of Republicans could whine about it but there would be a majority in the house to pass that bill. But you're right these people have no intention of government. You do see it in what Jim Jordan said when he was nominating McCarthy but also giving what seemed to be an inaugural address which ultimately Matt Gaetz did. It's why they want the heads of these committees they want attention to these issues.
