The only potential way for that to happen IMO is if A: McCarthy is voted out before they reach a full funding agreement, and B. a few of the moderate republicans (“moderate” relative to the Freedom Caucus’s howler monkeys, to any pedants out there) are willing to actually do their job and realize working with dems is the only way to do that. In this case, voting out McCarthy will start a timer in which time they need to elect a speaker if they want to avoid a shutdown, and since there were enough willing to ignore the howlers and avert a shutdown to begin with, that might put pressure on them to vote in a D speaker with some concessions in place for the R’s.
