Kevin McCarthy May Be in Danger of Losing House Speaker Position: Report (resistthemainstream.com)
"Trending Politics reports House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s position as speaker of the House may be in jeopardy.
"Sources close to the situation report that McCarthy is viewed by GOP Party leaders as floundering — owing to his slim majority vote to assume the speaker role and his bowing to President Joe Biden on several financial issues.
"Reportedly, concessions were made with the White House to avert a government shutdown — due to begin on October 1 if government leaders do not strike a budget agreement.
"Weakened by weeks of whipping up support just to win his first speakership at the start of the year, McCarthy has only floundered in the eyes of conservatives who feel he caved to Biden during the last government shutdown funding bill. With another funding measure due by the end of September, conservatives have begun an all-out push to win concessions in exchange for their support including the launch of impeachment proceedings against Biden.
"Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) expressed frustration with McCarthy, telling Axios: “I think it’s [motion to vacate] in the back of everybody’s mind … If somebody brings that it wouldn’t take much, you know, it just takes a couple of votes.' ” . . .
