why do Democrats oppose adjournment of the House?

Shouldn't they want this humiliation to be in the media all weekend rather than "risking" another vote where this gets resolved? or is the reasoning that they can continue seeing mccarthy lose again and again figuring if he doesn't have the votes now, he won't any other time tonight.
