Democrats Unlikely to Back McCarthy’s Ouster

“As Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) publicly floats a plan to team up with Democrats in an effort to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), some House Democrats say they’re not interested,” Axios reports.

“A single member can trigger a ‘motion to vacate‘ vote, but actually removing the speaker requires a majority of the House and would likely need substantial support from Democrats.”

Said Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH): “Most of us came here to govern and get things done, not indulge Matt Gaetz when he has one of his tantrums.”
