Gaetz says he will seek to oust McCarthy as speaker this week.

‘Bring it on,’ McCarthy says

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep.
Matt Gaetz said Sunday
he will try to remove House
Speaker Kevin McCarthy,
a fellow Republican, from
his leadership position this
week after McCarthy relied
on Democratic support to
pass legislation that avoided
a government shutdown.
“Bring it on,” McCarthy re-
sponded. Gaetz, a longtime
McCarthy nemesis, said in
broadcast interviews that
McCarthy was in “brazen,
material breach” of agree-
ments he made with House
Republicans in January
when he ran for speaker.
As a result, Gaetz said he
would be filing a “ motion to
vacate the chair,” as House
rules permit.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., appears before the House Rules Committee to propose amendments to the Department of Homeland
