Hey Wil thanks for posting this. I just tuned in at work and saw they are voting to remove McCarthy. But I want to know if they get rid of him who are they putting in his place? I like seeing the fight but it is clear Repubs are just trying to cause trouble without any plan on who they want to lead them.

During a more than two-hour caucus meeting, Democrats were strongly encouraged to vote to not support Speaker McCarthy as he fights for his job, sources tell ABC News.

“It is now the responsibility of the GOP members to end the House Republican Civil War,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement. “Given their unwillingness to break from MAGA extremism in an authentic and comprehensive manner, House Democratic leadership will vote yes on the pending Republican Motion to Vacate the Chair.”

Several Democrats said they don’t plan to bail McCarthy out.

“We’re not voting in any way that would help save speaker McCarthy,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said.

Vice Chair of House Democratic caucus Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., said, “the leadership put out the facts and the caucus heard from a lot of members… we need a functioning government and speaker McCarthy has shown he cannot govern.”

Six Republicans now support motion to vacate.

Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., just announced his support for the motion to oust McCarthy.

“I have kept my promise to the people of Montana by voting to make us energy-dominant again, secure our border, cut spending, and to put an end to the social experiment being inflicted on our military,” Rosendale wrote in a post to X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Unfortunately, Kevin McCarthy violated his promise to the American people and the Republican Conference by working against them repeatedly and supporting ploys to aid the Left. This demonstration of failed leadership is exactly why I plan on supporting the motion to vacate this afternoon,” Rosendale added.

The five other Republicans who’ve said they want McCarthy removed are Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Bob Good of Virginia, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona and Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee.

Here we are already. I love watching them fight each other. That just means Hakeem Jeffries can become the speaker sooner.

McCarthy cannot be trusted. If Dems save him he could turn on them the same way he turned on all those Repubs mad at him now for promises he is not keeping. Leave him out there to hang and let Repubs get embarrassed. All of this is going to come back and haunt them next year in the election so do not help them.
