Matt Gaetz says he will seek to oust McCarthy as speaker this week 'Bring it on,' says McCarthy

Oct 1, 2023
Rep. Matt Gaetz says he'll try to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a fellow Republican, from his leadership position this week. Gaetz's announcement Sunday comes after McCarthy relied on Democratic support to pass legislation on Saturday that avoided a government shutdown. Gaetz is a Florida Republican who's a longtime McCarthy nemesis. In response, McCarthy says, “So be it. Bring it on. Let’s get over with it and let’s start governing." Gaetz contends McCarthy was in “brazen, material breach” of agreements he made with House Republicans in January when he ran for speaker. No speaker has ever been removed from office through the kind of move that Gaetz says he'll try. The lawmakers made their comments on the Sunday news shows.
