Rep. Matt Gaetz led the rebellion against Kevin McCarthy after a last-minute deal was struck to avoid a government shutdown.
in a historic vote on Tuesday after a far-right revolt over his reliance on Democrats to pass funding to avert a government shutdown.Now someone from a secret backup list McCarthy created in January will likely serve as a temporary speaker overseeing a new election. It's not clear how extensive the power of any temporary speaker would be, but Republicans would likely push for that person to have more power than Democrats would want.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is surrounded by staff, security and journalists as he walks to the House Chamber ahead of a vote at the U.S. Capitol on October 03, 2023 in Washington, DC. Eleven Republicans voted against the earlier motion to table Gaetz's resolution, an ominous sign of what was to come for McCarthy.
Ahead of the vote, McCathy told reporters"it is what it is" but insisted he was"confident" he would remain speaker. He said earlier that he spoke with Jeffries Tuesday morning, but when he was asked whether he would have to rely on the votes of Democrats to retain the speakership, he replied,"No, I personally am not."
