Hard-liners plot to replace McCarthy with a deputy as shutdown looms

A contingent of far-right House Republicans are plotting an attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy as House speaker as early as next week, a move that would throw the chamber into further disarray in the middle of a potential government shutdown, according to four people familiar with the effort who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks.

Some members of the far-right faction of the party are coalescing around nominating a member of McCarthy’s leadership team, Rep. Tom Emmer (Minn.), to be the next speaker if they can successfully oust McCarthy, according to those people. The members think Emmer is more attuned to their concerns and will better deliver conservative results.

And why would moderate R's vote for him if he is just going to be a stooge for the far right?

And what's their plan to get the votes needed for that?

Don't know exactly, but there's some maneuvering going on...

Matt Gaetz Asks Democrats to Help Oust McCarthy
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) “is privately courting some House Democrats to help him oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership,” Politico reports.

“The Florida Republican, who is threatening to force a vote on booting McCarthy if he works with Democrats to avoid a shutdown, approached multiple Democrats on the floor late Thursday night to discuss how they would vote on a possible vote of no confidence against McCarthy.”

Why does this guy keep putting up bills that he knows don't have the votes. It wasn't even close. He's such an incompetent clown.

But he has the majority. The votes are failing because his own members are voting against him.
