Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces ouster amid Republican infighting after stopgap funding Bill averts shutdown

Republican Representative Matt Gaetz is calling for a vote to remove Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican in the House of Representatives, from his role as speaker. This comes after a stopgap funding bill, which received more support from Democrats than Republicans, was passed in the House. Gaetz’s announcement highlights a growing rift within the GOP. McCarthy’s decision to bring a bipartisan measure to the floor, despite potential threats to his leadership, signals a strategic choice.
