The Congressional leadership Republicans are trying to handle Santos internally. Let's assume they request he step down. Couldn't Santos hit the trip wire and demand a snap election for Speaker? I think that is what is keeping McCarthy so tight lipped.
@carmen Excellent point. The next two years is basically going to be the Republican House playing Hot Potato with Qevin's balls.
@carmen
Santos: I did resign. I'm not here. You can't see me.
