Congressman Matt Gaetz’s Threat to Vacate House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Speakership Sparks Debate Over Democrats’ Role in the Situation

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has threatened to move forward with a motion to vacate the speakership of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), in response to McCarthy's decision to work with Democrats to pass a temporary measure to keep the government funded. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has advised Gaetz against following through with his plan, noting that he would lose all of his leverage if he did so and that there is no one else who has the votes to replace McCarthy. The future of McCarthy's speakership is uncertain, as Gaetz's threats remain unresolved.
