Gaetz Rebellion Backfires, Paralyzing House and Handing Wins to Democrats

Matt Gaetz led an unsuccessful rebellion against Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker.

The chaos left Republicans unable to elect a Speaker, paralyzing the House.

With Congress frozen, Republicans can't address key issues like the debt ceiling, spending, and investigating Biden.

The turmoil hands wins to Democrats, who gain power as Republicans flounder.

Gaetz's stunt backfired, creating chaos but no wins for the GOP's conservative wing.
