Gaetz takes victory lap after historic vote to boot McCarthy from House speakership
Fox News
Rep. Matt Gaetz applauds historic vote to boot Speaker McCarthy and floats several representatives who he'd support for the job.
"We didn't even send in a subpoena to Hunter Biden, our oversight was lackluster, our spending priorities were misaligned," he continued. "The top line budget was going to lead to more inflation, more debt, more challenges — so the best way to advance the conservative agenda is to move forward with a new speaker." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
House Financial Services chairman Rep. Patrick McHenry will serve as interim Speaker until a replacement for McCarthy is chosen. Gaetz expressed support for a couple of potential candidates to replace the speaker — including GOP Reps. Tom Emmer, Mike Johnson, Jodey Arrington, Kevin Hern, or Steve Scalise, none of whom voted to oust McCarthy — should they decide to run for the speakership.
