The U.S. House of Representatives will vote Tuesday on a leadership challenge to Speaker Kevin McCarthy by a fellow Republican that could plunge Congress into chaos.
Republican lawmakers said the chamber will vote later in the day on a motion by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a McCarthy antagonist, that could potentially remove McCarthy from his post.
The leadership fight comes just days after Republican infighting took Washington to the brink of a partial government shutdown. Democrats have not said whether they will vote against McCarthy or extract concessions to keep him in power. Many say they view him as untrustworthy after he broke an agreement on spending with President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and are angered by his decision to green-light an impeachment investigation of the president.
