Except that he remains 3rd in line to the presidency, has massive power over how the house is run and so would just backstab democrats after any "deal?"
There is two paths, we can either have a compromise speaker who isn't Mike Johnson, or Jeffries, without massive concessions (not just floor time, actual policy concessions) it makes no sense for democrats to save Johnson from his own party.
No democrat should ever vote to leave this bigot in the succession line to the presidency.
Some fun things Mike Johnson has done:
Called us a "depraved culture" for having high LGBTQ identification:
