Gaetz – who is rumored to be eyeing a run for Florida governor – was livid at McCarthy’s decision to bring up a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown on Sept. 30. He declined to back one over the other for now, saying that he plans to wait for the Republican candidate forum on Tuesday.Rep. Nancy Mace , who joined Gaetz’s bid to depose McCarthy, endorsed Jordan on Sunday.
The last time a motion to vacate received a vote was in 1910 against then-Speaker Joseph Cannon . Only three such motions have ever been filed.In the meantime, the House of Representatives is being led by Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry , whose powers are limited and not fully understood.
