WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 27: Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) pauses to talk to reporters as he heads to the House Chamber for a vote at the U.S. Capitol on September 27, 2023 in Washington, DC. McCarthy continues to look for a legislative path that would prevent the federal government from partially shutting down at midnight on September 30 while also preserving his speakership. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)McCarthy and Gaetz have long had a tense relationship and Gaetz has led the charge in threatening to force a vote to oust the speaker as pressure on McCarthy builds during the shutdown spending fight and hardline conservatives balk at the prospect of passing any kind of short-term funding extension to keep the government opening.
