© Reuters. U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters in the U.S. Capitol after the House of Representatives passed a stopgap government funding bill to avert an immediate government shutdown, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S. September 30, 2023.WASHINGTON -A handful of Republicans in the U.S.
Tuesday's rebellion was led by Representative Matt Gaetz, a far-right Republican from Florida and McCarthy antagonist who finally turned on the speaker after he on Saturday relied on Democratic votes to help pass a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. McCarthy's ouster as speaker brings legislative activity in the House to a halt, with another government shutdown deadline looming Nov. 17 if Congress does not extend funding.
The last two Republican speakers, Paul Ryan and John Boehner, retired from Congress after clashes with their right wing. "I've made deals with Kevin McCarthy, with the speaker, that he has not kept to help women in this country," Mace said."We have done nothing for them."
