Did they know he wouldn't go for it? As for the difference, it is where the starting point lies. In trying to pass a budget bill there is a long and storied history of bipartisanship, of give and take. On the vote for the Speaker is has a long and storied history of being party line. So instead of coming from a starting place of collaboration they are coming from a starting place of McCarthy needing a favor.
