Matt Gaetz's Controversial Plan: Ousting McCarthy and Shaking Up Congress

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., stated that leading the push to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was worth it, even if it costs him his job. Gaetz has called for longer-term spending bills to avoid government shutdowns and rejected omnibus packages. While the U.S. Constitution allows for the expulsion of a member of Congress, it is a rare occurrence. Some GOP officials support removing Gaetz from the Republican conference in the House, but others caution against it.
