The mostly likely replacement at this point is probably the Democrat Jeffries, assuming the dems are still united on that front. I don't know who of the gop would be able to swing the whole party at this point.
Highly unlikely.
Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.
We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it's apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.
It would be hilarious if McCarthy did it as an fu and then resigned lolol
They don't have to cross the isle, they just need to abstain.
