  They won't do anything until they know more about the speaker vote. McCarthy needs every vote, with the maga house republicans stating they won't vote for him. This is part of why only winning such a slim majority was a nightmare for the GOP.
  They obviously could do something now, but they are unwilling to take the political risk before the speaker vote.

  Spending billions to lose a Senate seat and gain a handful of house seats sure sounds like a triumph. >

  They took the house and will block biden’s agenda for 2 years and get to do all the “investigations” they want. Of course that could end up hurting them in 24, but definitely a loss for the democrats legislative agenda. >
  
  He didn't just lie he's wanted for check fraud and defrauding the elderly, AND being investigated for illegal fundraising activities. >

  Right now, being a GOP politician is a lot like being born rich.  The system is setup to give you a significant advantage and there's plenty of money to help iron out your missteps.
  The Republican's winning the House on a bare minimum majority is an incredibly low bar to set as a "Time of Triumph." >
  
  Has any republican publicly asked him to step down or whatever the equivalent is for a congress person elect?  It's so odd to me how the democrats will eat their own over things like this, but republicans just don't care.  I did like seeing Tulsi Gabbard lay into him.
