A reckoning may indeed be forced. It seems McCarthy is closer to the concessions needed to secure his desired position. These concessions will likely also secure his impotence as Speaker. The clown show will also likely embolden GOP moderates (yes, they exist) to move away from the Clown Show Caucus and possibly get some things done in conjunction with Democrats. The choice will be clear - they can aid the clown caucus OR they can pass legislation and move toward re-election in 2024.
Excellent, Steve~~~Thank you! Kit
