Would the GOP reflexively cut off such a "traitor"? The current GOP lockstep members would try. But were I (ha!) the R congressman that Jeffries called, I'd stake my political career on the current frustration being enough to tip the scales for enough to follow me.

Maybe that's where we end up. But we're only on Day 4 of the stalemate. The Members are frustrated, and there's been some negative media coverage - but really, only political junkies are really tuned into this. I think it has to drag well into next week, when staffers start going unpaid and Members are going onto talk shows and still having to wryly acknowledge that they aren't actually Congresscritters yet until they get sworn in, that the pressure will really start to build.

My new favorite take on this, forwarded to me:

"This never happened when I was Speaker."

- George Santos
