Vote On Ousting McCarthy To Be Held This Afternoon

The Hill reports:

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will bring up Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) move to oust him on Tuesday, moving quickly to consider the motion to vacate the chair. McCarthy could have brought up Gaetz’s motion any time within two legislative days after Gaetz made the move on Monday evening.

But the Speaker told House Republicans in a conference meeting on Tuesday morning that he would bring it up later in the day, according to multiple GOP members leaving the meeting. The earliest the motion could come up is when the House starts considering legislative business at noon. First votes are scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
