"McCarthy's Feud with GOP Foes Intensifies Amid Speaker Vote Surprise and Mocking Film"

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is considering whether to stay in office after being ousted as speaker, expressing resentment towards the Republicans who ended his tenure. McCarthy criticized Rep. Matt Gaetz for leading the charge against him, accusing Gaetz of being motivated by a House Ethics Committee probe. McCarthy suggested that Gaetz called for the vote to quash the ethics probe. McCarthy is uncertain about staying in the House and may not seek reelection. McCarthy's removal may impact GOP fundraising. He believes former President Donald Trump will be the party's nominee in 2024 and supports him despite potential criminal charges. McCarthy defended his decision to advance a stopgap funding bill and criticized the eight Republicans who voted against him.
