"Matt Gaetz: GOP Target or Negotiating Opportunity for Democrats?"

Republican lawmakers are seeking retribution against Rep. Matt Gaetz after his successful motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Some GOP colleagues are calling for Gaetz's expulsion from the House Republican Conference, while others suggest he and the seven Republicans who voted with him should be kicked out of the caucus. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich also called for Gaetz's expulsion, accusing him of destroying the GOP's ability to govern. Gaetz is facing salacious accusations, including an alleged relationship with an underage girl, but he denies them. Despite the backlash, Gaetz still has allies within the party, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
