House Republican Matt Gaetz Threatens Historic Vote to Attempt to Remove Speaker McCarthy

Matt Gaetz says he plans to force a vote on whether to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

In an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Gaetz criticized McCarthy’s handling of spending and budget fights since the GOP retook the House in January and claimed that McCarthy had violated promises he made in order to be chosen as speaker.

Gaetz said he would move this week to remove McCarthy in light of a temporary funding bill that McCarthy backed, and passed with majority Democratic support, late on Saturday to avert the government shutdown.
