Kevin McCarthy\u0027s quest for the House speaker\u0027s gavel is a near\u002Dperfect inside\u002Dthe\u002DBeltway story because it\u0027s about pure politics.

Even if he agrees to mow the lawn or pick up lunch for every recalcitrant Republican, he’d still have one of the narrowest majorities in history — probably around nine votes, 222-213. That’s the same margin Nancy Pelosi had coming out of the 2020 midterms, but she had a firmer hold on her caucus and a Democratic president and Democratic Senate to help impose and reward discipline.
McCarthy could instead agree to relinquish much of the power the speaker historically never had in the first place.
