Latest news and live updates on the House vote on whether to oust Kevin McCarthy. The vote was prompted by a motion by Matt Gaetz after government funding disagreements.
I think Democrats missed a chance by voting along party lines here. Yes the drama from McCarthy losing his seat is delicious but anything that helps make Gaetz look like an idiot is even sweeter. Just the vote itself already diminishes McCarthy’s power, but there’s incentive now for McCarthy to actually court Democrat votes for future bills and everytime a bill passes with Democrats voting for it you can hear Gaetz slowly losing it.
