Democrats' apparent punishment for supporting a motion to vacate Kevin McCarthy is a loss of Capitol real estate.
One of Acting House Speaker Patrick McHenry's first orders of business was to move the Capitol offices for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, both Democrats.McHenry is currently presiding over the U.S. House of Representatives in a temporary capacity due to eight of his colleagues joining Democrats in voting to vacate Kevin McCarthy and conclude his tumultuous eight-month speakership by a 216-210 vote.
Pelosi's hideaway office, which she maintained post-speakership and was located in an area close to House votes, will reportedly be given to McCarthy next week. She also has an office across the street from the Capitol.'The Speaker pro tempore is going to re-assign H-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,' reads an email that has circulated and was addressed to Pelosi's staff on Tuesday evening.
