McCarthy lashes out at GOP rebels Mace, Gaetz and Rosendale in defiant exit speech
Trump backs Jim Jordan for House speaker: ‘He has my Complete & Total Endorsement!’to GOP rules in the lower chamber that allowed a small faction of lawmakers to strip Rep. Kevin McCarthy of his speakership.
“We refuse to allow the eight members who abandoned and undermined our Conference to dictate every outcome in policy and personnel for the remainder of this Congress, including the upcoming selection of the Speaker of the House,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to colleagues. The lawmakers said that they “remain committed to the conservative and transparent objectives” of the former House speaker and call for unspecified changes to the House GOP rules.
McCarthy himself agreed to lower the threshold for a floor vote on a motion to vacate during his successful negotiations with far-right Republican members, which helped win him the gavel in January.
