House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is in the fight for his political life as the California Republican stares down a motion to oust him for the speakership.
The rebellion, led by conservative hardliner Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has roiled the House in chaos. The move to oust McCarthy – known as a motion to vacate – has the support of a handful of hard-right lawmakers who have expressed anger at McCarthy for working with Democrats to avert a government shutdown.
With House Republicans’ razor thin majority, McCarthy’s fate has appeared to fall in the hands of Democrats, who huddled in an extended closed-door meeting Tuesday morning to discuss strategy.

I guess he was over confident this time.
Where are all these people going to live when this Nation completely falls apart and a loaf of bread costs 100 dollars? Do they have plans after they finish us off?
He should have kept his promises. He didn't and was held accountable. Everyone is shocked. That's how rare accountability is in DC.

Just not a smart guy. What a fool.
It is now clear that Mr McCarthy has lost the confidence of a significant number of congressional Republicans. He has been humiliated for trying to work with Democratic members. What does he do now? It should be clear to him that conservative Republicans must purge the party of Trumpists and MAGAism.
Woopsy Kevin… MAGA got you again.
