House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday said his chamber would vote later in the day on a measure that aims to remove him from his post, adding that he expected to weather the action.But there were signs that his speakership was in peril, as House Democrats indicated they wouldn’t help him fend off the challenge that’s being led by a fellow Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Gaetz late Monday filed what’s known as a “motion to vacate” after McCarthy relied on House Democrats to pass a short-term funding measure Saturday that averted a partial government shutdown.
