Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) on Tuesday became the first Republican to publicly support ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) over the debt ceiling deal he struck with President Biden as conservative criticism of the agreement ramps up.

At a House Freedom Caucus press conference on Tuesday, Bishop was the sole Republican to raise his hand signifying he would support a motion to oust McCarthy over the bill. “I think it’s got to be done,” Bishop told reporters after the press conference.
