Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

  • On Monday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) brought up a resolution to vacate the House speaker position. On Tuesday, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) held a vote to table the motion but was ultimately defeated—208 to 218. Consequently, the House of Representatives will now hold a vote potentially resulting in the removal of McCarthy from the speakership.
  • From the House floor, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) spoke in defense of Kevin McCarthy’s performance as speaker and insisted that removing him would be a “terrible idea” for Republicans.
  • While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) insisted that he would survive any challenge to his speakership.
  • Appearing on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said she would “absolutely” vote to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
