Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has also spoken about a motion to vacate. But he suggested that it would come about only if most House Republicans voted against the deal, which he said would “be a black-letter violation of the deal we had with McCarthy.” We don’t yet know if that will actually be the case, though, and Gaetz suggested it wouldn’t.

Gaetz also conceded over the weekend that, “if there were a motion to vacate around this deal, it would undeniably fail. And people may or may not want to hear that, but it’s the truth.”

Which really gets to the heart of the matter.

Despite the big talk and the apocalyptic warnings from the right about what this debt ceiling deal portends — along with suggestions that McCarthy has reneged on his agreements — there just doesn’t appear to be the appetite to go down this road yet. Roy exclaimed that, “The Republican conference has been torn asunder.” But there’s little evidence that’s actually the case.

[Their specific policy objections are substantive, even if somewhat irrelevant to a debt-ceiling negotiation when their party only barely controls one chamber of Congress. But the chest-beating is more performative, and even somewhat helpful to McCarthy in getting moderate Democrats to follow Hakeem Jeffries. I wrote about this earlier, but Blake’s column has more detail on the lack of real pushback on this deal. — Ed]
