Why would it force him to caucus with the dems?

He might get 50 dem votes for one or two committee chairmanships.

He could do it without the republicans even knowing he did it.

If after the nomination are in for vote, dems start voting for McCarthy what are the republicans going to do? They will either vote for him too or not vote.

I would think any Dems he cut a deal with would just not show up for the vote and lower the number needed for him to win.

You really think those not in his inner circle would support him after he went to the dems for support? It would be suicide for them as well...

If this was a feasible option for McCarthy, he would have already done it...
