    They would have effectively owned him and forced him to act as a proper Speaker and not a political Muppet.

    They have no reliable leverage, unfortunately. After this vote, Gaetz and his merry band of misfits may change their mind. Similarly, their only “leverage” would be McCarthy honoring whatever agreement they came to prior to the vote.
