House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to Call Vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz’s Resolution to Oust Him from Office

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has called a vote on Rep. Matt Gaetz's resolution to oust him from the speaker's office, which is set to take place later today. McCarthy has received opposition from the majority of Freedom Caucus members, but with such narrow margins in the House, Gaetz doesn't need many mutineers to get it done. McCarthy and his allies are now looking to quickly take on the so-called motion to vacate, with the outcome of the vote providing an indication of the support for McCarthy's leadership.
