It’s because Jordan will be head of the Justice committee if he does. McCarthy is so comprised every which way he has no path to victory. The only thing he could do is offer concessions to Democrats which may land him speaker, but would so savagely fracture the GOP it might almost be worth it for the Dems.
What I don’t get is why any or these promises or concessions even matter. Once the votes are in couldn’t get just go “yeah, no” and they couldn’t do anything but whine about it? It’s not like they haven’t lied before.
