Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gaetz in a Battle for House Speaker
Kevin McCarthy is facing a motion to vacate his position as House Speaker, led by Matt Gaetz. McCarthy has shown a willingness to compromise and avoid a government shutdown or debt default, which has frustrated some Republicans. However, it is unlikely that Democrats will support removing McCarthy from his position, as he has been willing to work with them in order to keep the government functioning.
