Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made his latest threat to Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) speakership, demanding the Republican leader answer questions about an alleged 'back deal' with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution over the weekend to fund the government temporarily.
Rep. Matt Gaetz made his latest threat to Rep. Kevin McCarthy's speakership, demanding the Republican leader answer questions about an alleged"back deal" with Democrats to pass a continuing resolution over the weekend to fund the government temporarily.
Gaetz pressed McCarthy to answer two specific questions on the matter, including"what commitments were made" to President Joe Biden and whether the speaker made other promises in exchange for Democratic support. If those questions aren't answered, he said, a motion to vacate could come as soon as this week.
McCarthy has denied working out any back deals and has repeatedly brushed off threats by Gaetz, telling reporters Monday morning he's"not worried about" the motion. Gaetz announced Sunday morning that he plans to file the motion, following through with weeks of threats to oust the speaker if he passed a continuing resolution to fund the government temporarily — especially through a deal that garnered the support of House Democrats.
