This seems kinda dumb to report on at the moment.
No actual journalism done to dig into this to see why. Maybe he just wanted the office, or maybe he's being political and trying to piss of the dems.
Without additional information, we have no idea if this is a sign of something, or a big nothing burger.
Considering that the interim speaker’s only job is to hold votes on the election of a new house speaker, and that no other house business can continue until a new speaker is chosen, this is clearly a petty, political move.
Good point.
