Far-right members float a threat to Kevin McCarthy's speakership
As criticism builds in Republican ranks over the debt ceiling deal struck by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden, some hard-line conservatives have begun floating the idea of toppling the speaker.
On a House Freedom Caucus call Monday night, Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., floated using the motion to vacate, a rule that would allow any member of Congress to force a vote to remove the speaker, two sources familiar with the call told NBC News. Buck, speaking toward the end of the call, referred to it as the “elephant in the room,” one source said.
