Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing the wrath of Republicans who want to see him punished for leading the successful effort to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership post on Tuesday. At least two Republican lawmakers are mulling over crafting different expulsion resolutions, a measure requiring 2/3 of the chamber’s support to be successful, aimed at Mr. Gaetz. Following Tuesday’s vote, Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told reporters that Mr. Gaetz should be ejected from the House GOP conference. “He’s not a Republican,” Mr. Bacon said. “He’s an anarchist.” Asked...

Washington — Many Republican lawmakers have posed raising the threshold to trigger a no-confidence vote in the next House speaker — or ditching the rule altogether — after Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the role Tuesday. What is a motion to vacate? The California Republican paved the way for his own dismissal in January as he sought enough support to become the lower chamber's leader, making a deal with far-right Republicans that a single member could bring a motion to vacate the chair — a vote of no confidence in...

As the House sits at a standstill due to the absence of a permanent speaker, Republicans are seeking to shift some of the blame to their Democratic counterparts for voting to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his leadership position. McCarthy was removed in a 216-210 vote after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate over allegations the former speaker crafted a “secret deal” with Democrats to advance Ukraine funding in exchange for support on a continuing resolution passed over the weekend to avert a government shutdown....

The first thing to understand about the House voting out its speaker for the first time in our history is this: Kevin McCarthy’s ouster was not the result of an intraparty civil war. It was a consequence of the opposing party taking advantage of the GOP’s chaos, dysfunction and disorder. Put simply, the Republicans gave the Democrats a gun, but never believed they’d pull the trigger. They did. Now they’re big mad. North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry is now the temporary speaker. His first act was to order Nancy Pelosi,...

Not long after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) got booted from the speakership on Tuesday, some conservatives began blaming Democrats for his ouster – even though it was triggered by a Republican using an agreement he and McCarthy made in January. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate the chair, thus triggering a vote of the House on the matter. While only eight members of the Republican majority voted to remove McCarthy, 210 Democrats also voted to remove him, which was more than enough to give McCarthy the heave-ho....

As Kevin McCarthy was on the brink of losing his speakership, some of his allies delivered a not-so-veiled threat to GOP Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina: If you vote to oust McCarthy, the party might not be willing to help raise money for your race. The warning to Mace, which was described by a source familiar with the conversation, is a sign of just how seriously the speaker drama has rankled the Republican party, with money often used as a powerful carrot – or stick – in Washington. Yet...

Conservative firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., launched a new fundraising push Wednesday seeking to capitalize on his successful gambit to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as well as the sharp criticism he received from his GOP colleagues amid the effort. "It's Matt Gaetz and I need your immediate attention. I was just ATTACKED and BOOED by RINOs for asking you to weigh in and contribute to this fight. I will NOT be lectured by Republicans who grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who have hollowed...

Jeanine Pirro blamed Democrats for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) removal as speaker while giving them no credit for helping avert a government shutdown over the weekend. McCarthy was ousted after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate the chair, which triggered a vote of the House to decide his fate. Gaetz and seven Republicans joined 208 Democrats to remove McCarthy. The ex-speaker agreed back in January to allow just one member to bring a motion to vacate as part of a deal that vaulted him into the speakership....

House Republicans are in disarray after ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy in an unprecedented vote, scrambling to pick a replacement who can unify a caucus that has recently struggled to agree on key legislative priorities. The party’s more conservative and far-right members have long been a thorn in McCarthy’s side and finally brought about his downfall less than 10 months after he won a hard-fought contest for the speakership. Democrats refused to save McCarthy after he ruled out making concessions in exchange for their support. His potential successors face an uphill...
