    House leadership doesn’t do anything without knowing the votes are there first and they are absolutely not there.

        The problem is any mass mobilization against him will come from those further Right, not Left.

          Only because none of the Left’s political leadership is willing to actually mobilize the masses!

            In the House, the Left is in the minority, the entire Democratic body could mobilize against McCarthy and he wouldn’t give two shits, because as far as he’s concerned, they’re already against him. They’re the minority, he doesn’t have to care.
