Since McCarthy's Oct. 3 ouster, Republican infighting has left the House leaderless and unable to address urgent concerns such as support for Israel and Ukraine and funding for the U.S. government. Eight House Republicans engineered McCarthy's ouster three days after he cut a Sept. 30 deal with Democrats to keep the federal government funded through Nov. 17.
"Most people I represent wouldn't know the speaker of the House if they backed over him with a pickup truck," he said."To hand him the gavel is to chose MAGA extremism over America," No. 2 House Democrat Katherine Clark wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
