McCarthy moved into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office shortly after Christmas, with leadership members-elect shifting office space as the parties prepared for a shift in the majority in the lower chamber.
"What is the basis in law, House rule, or precedent to allow someone who has placed second in three successive speaker elections to occupy the Speaker of the House Office?"

Please write back promptly as it seems Mr. McCarthy can no longer be considered Speaker-Designate following today's balloting.”
