Gaetz moves to oust McCarthy as House speaker
Republican Representative Matt Gaetz filed a motion to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post after the lower chamber voted to pass the stopgap measure aimed at avoiding a government shutdown.
McCarthy faced significant dissent within his own party, with 90 GOP members voting against the bill, while only one Democrat opposed it.
Gaetz introduced the motion to vacate on the House floor and it must be voted on within two legislative days.
