Just days after ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the top leadership position, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) signaled he’d be willing to raise the threshold for a future motion to vacate — but only if Republicans agree to vote on a number of political reforms.
His biggest rivals in the house right now are senior GOP members, not Dems. So if he can use the Dems to force his rivals out of office… well it just looks good for him.
