I don't think many will openly vote in such a manner as to elect Kevin McCarthy. Last time 63 voted against her.

Not even an idiot like Seth Moulton would do something that dumb. She'll get some "no" votes from that group of 32 (or "present" votes), but they'll all be made with knowledge that she'll be the next speaker.

I'm not worried.
