    can’t believe this is the bar that is being set

    It’s almost exactly the bar!

    Congressional Democrats said they would support a temporary Speaker until January provided:

    • They voted to certify the 2020 election
    • They aren’t in the Freedom Caucus
    • They support the debt ceiling deal between Biden and McCarthy
    • They have a “track record” of governing

    FWIW, McHenry seems to meet all the requirements (he helped negotiate the debt ceiling bill)
