is one of the first Democrats to whom Gaetz reached out. Right on cue, Rep., who represents a D+28 district in New York, was on CNN this morning saying she would “absolutely” vote to oust McCarthy.believe it is naive to assume that some discussion of the motion to vacate didn’t come up in the conversations between McCarthy and Dem leaders that birthed the bipartisan CR vote.
Gaetz will no doubt relentlessly attack him, as he has already, as “the Democrats’ speaker.” The overall effort will have done a lot of damage.

is that McCarthy is the GOP’s greatest fundraiser, and getting rid of him would help Democrats take back the House. No replacement for McCarthy would have the same set of relationships and the donor network and political operation.
