North Dakota Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong told Newsmax Tuesday that many House GOP members will fight Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and his resolution to boot Speaker McCarthy from his position because there is “no replacement” for McCarthy within the Republican Conference, leading to “chaos.”
Gaetz officially moved to eject McCarthy from the speaker’s chair Monday, introducing a “motion to vacate” that would force a floor vote in the House to remove the California Republican, Reuters reported. "I think that's the likely outcome," Gaetz said in the report. But in leaving open the prospect of repeated moves to get McCarthy fired, Gaetz predicted that support could grow and that the initial vote on evicting McCarthy would be "the floor and not the ceiling."
He said that the rumor that McCarthy made a deal with Democrats to give Ukraine more money later in exchange for their votes on the bill, “never happened.”
