Many people are missing this. McCarthy himself made vile jokes about resisting the urge to hit Pelosi with the Speaker's gavel once he took it. Zero chance the House Democratic leadership is going to be interested in throwing him a lifeline, especially after today.
McCarthy nuked every bridge with the Democrats with his antics the past few years. No Dem is ever going to vote for him unless they want to be primaried into oblivion.
