The vote on whether to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could happen less than 24 hours after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced the motion.
The House is expected to vote Tuesday afternoon on whether to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker—and a growing number of Democrats are saying they will join hard-right House Republicans in the effort that would make McCarthy the first speaker in history to be removed from his post....
At least four Republicans, Reps. Andy Biggs , Eli Crane , Bob Good and Tim Burchett , have said publicly they will vote to remove McCarthy, meaning Gaetz has enough support under the GOP’s 222-213 majority in the House if all Democrats back the effort. An increasing number of centrist Democrats said Tuesday they would join the far-right Republicans in voting to eject McCarthy, including Rep. Annie Kuster , the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, and Rep. Ted Lieu , vice-chair of the House Democratic Caucus, who told CNN Tuesday “it’s pretty clear the caucus knew exactly where it was . . . Speaker McCarthy has shown he cannot govern.”McCarthy would be the first speaker in history to be removed by his colleagues.
