GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz is threatening to force a vote on ousting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
If that happens, Democrats will get a vote too — and some progressives say they would vote for it.
"I mean, if that vote comes up, I'll vote to vacate," said Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida.
Gaetz, for his part, has suggested that Democrats would bail McCarthy out, and he's openly challenging Democrats to support his effort when the time comes.
"I think Speaker McCarthy is horrific," said Rep. Robert Garcia of California.
