Gaetz’s plans to introduce a motion to remove McCarthy from his leadership position is a dramatic escalation of the long-simmering tensions between the men.
Gaetz said Sunday that he plans to introduce a motion to remove McCarthy from his leadership position, marking a dramatic escalation of the long-simmering tensions between the men. Once Gaetz does so, the House would have 48 hours to vote on the matter. The Florida Republican did not say when he would introduce the motion.
McCarthy, Gaetz said, broke a promise made to hard-right conservatives during the speakership fight that the chamber would move to single spending bills. Gaetz also said McCarthy promised the conference 72 hours to read the bill, and that the budget would return to pre-covid spending levels. Neither of those things happened.After the House passed a bipartisan plan to avert a shutdown Saturday, McCarthy was defiant when asked about the potential effort to remove him from his seat.
“By putting this motion to vacate on the floor, you know what Matt Gaetz is going to do? He’s going to delay the ability to complete that work over the next 45 days,” Lawler said. “And just like he and some of my colleagues did during the past three weeks, they delayed the process by voting down the rules, violating our conference rules. They delayed the process by refusing to come to an agreement within the conference on a conservative [continuing resolution].
to force consideration of a clean short-term spending bill that averted a government shutdown has angered many Democrats.While Gaetz is criticizing McCarthy over his decision to work with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution, he would need Democratic support to oust McCarthy. Speaking to “This Week,” however, Gaetz said he expects Democrats — who famously oppose McCarthy — to protect him.
“I think Kevin McCarthy is a very weak speaker,” she told CNN. “He clearly has lost control of his caucus … It’s not up to Democrats to save Republicans from themselvesSeparately, Rep. Nancy Pelosi — McCarthy’s predecessor as House speaker — said Gaetz’s move against McCarthy “is just not about the budget, it’s about a values debate.
