Kevin McCarthy had support from 208 members of his conference to remain House speaker. But it took only eight dissenters in his party to boot him from the job.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy had support from 208 members of his conference to remain as House speaker. But it took only eight dissenters in his party to boot him from the job.A handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to make history as McCarthy became the first speaker in U.S. history to be voted out of the position by his colleagues.Most of the eight have never been members of the McCarthy fan club. They chafed at the deal McCarthy made with President Joe Biden to avoid a federal default.
Biggs complained Tuesday that lawmakers were promised the House would pass 12 annual funding bills in a timely manner, but that wasn't accomplished before the end of the fiscal year, requiring a stopgap spending bill to avoid a shutdown. He said the annual spending bills are critical to cutting spending and getting rid of duplicative programs.Buck is serving his fifth term representing a Colorado district that includes much of the eastern part of the state and some Denver suburbs.
He said while explaining his vote to oust McCarthy that the House took off the whole month of August despite knowing they needed to get the spending bills done before the fiscal year ended Sept. 30."At some point, we've just got to say enough is enough, folks," he said in a Twitter video."I hate losing Kevin as a friend, but I worry about losing our country."Crane represents an Arizona district. He is also a former Navy SEAL who served in the military for 13 years.
"Look, you all know Matt Gaetz. You know it was personal. It had nothing to do about spending," McCarthy said."It all was about getting attention from you. I mean we were getting e-mail fundraisers as he's doing it." But Good has been harshly critical of the deal to avoid a default and voiced alarm as Republicans prepared to ensure a partial government shutdown did not occur last weekend.
