☆ Kevin McCarthy's CBS interview, where he blamed Democrats for the near-government shutdown, tanked any hope of them saving his speakership
  + stars: | 2023-10-04 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
A CBS News interview destroyed any chance that Kevin McCarthy had in keeping his job as speaker. But ahead of the vote, McCarthy said that he wasn't entertaining any major concessions from the minority party. After Democratic leaders showed the "Face the Nation" interview to members on Tuesday, McCarthy's remarks angered members from across the party's ideological spectrum. AdvertisementAdvertisementAhead of today's vote on an effort to oust @SpeakerMcCarthy, the House Democratic Caucus watched McCarthy's interview with @margbrennan on Sunday, where he attempted to blame House Democrats for the near-government shutdown. "After I saw Kevin McCarthy's interview with Margaret Brennan, all magnanimity left my body," he told Punchbowl News on Tuesday.

The ousting of Republican Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker may not have an immediate impact on Wall Street, but it raises the likelihood of a government shutdown in the fourth quarter — which could inject more volatility into an already rattled market. Now, Congress also grapples with deciding its next speaker to lead the House. "The immediate market impact of McCarthy's ouster is relatively limited as the government is funded through November 17," said BTIG's Isaac Boltansky. "The near-term concern is that the House's paralysis will further complicate the already complicated calculus surrounding the forthcoming funding fight." Impact on the defense sector The removal of McCarthy could have an impact on the defense sector.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's grip on power was in question on Tuesday as the House of Representatives, driven by Republican infighting, was holding a historic vote that could remove him from his job. If the rebellion by right-wing fellow Republicans against McCarthy is successful, it would be the first time in U.S. history that House lawmakers voted their leader out. "We need a speaker who will fight for something - anything - other than staying on as speaker," said Republican Representative Bob Good. "Think long and hard before you plunge us into chaos, because that's where we're headed," said Republican Representative Tom Cole. "This country does not need more drama," said Republican Representative Steve Womack.

☆ Republicans have temporarily played themselves out of the presidential line of succession after McCarthy's historic ouster

House Republicans have temporarily forced themselves out of the presidential line of succession. As a result, House Republicans for the time being would be skipped over entirely. Never before in history has the line of succession gone past the vice president, meaning most of this discussion is purely academic. Still, House Republicans are currently risking what they would be rightfully entitled to thanks to their slim majority following the 2022 midterm elections. Many legal scholars have long had issues with the Truman-era law governing presidential succession.

There was no immediate indication of who might succeed McCarthy, but the next speaker could quash more Ukraine aid before a proposal reaches the House floor if that person opposes the idea. A Ukraine "report card" by Defending Democracy Together's "Republicans for Ukraine" campaign rated the leading candidates on the strength of their support for past Ukraine aid. Representative Tom Emmer, the House Republican whip, got the highest rating, an A. 2 House Republican, has long been favored to take over as speaker after McCarthy and received one notch lower, a B. McCarthy, who got a B-minus grade, early this week denied accusations by Gaetz that he had cut "a secret deal" with Biden to allow the House to vote on Ukraine aid.

☆ House Speaker Kevin McCarthy planted the seeds of his own downfall in his January 2023 concessions
  + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
To become speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy was forced to make several concessions. He agreed to change House rules to allow any member to bring a motion to vacate the speakership. In January, just a few short months after an election where Republicans just barely gained majority control of the House of Representatives, McCarthy had emerged as the frontrunner to become the next House speaker. Traditionally, it only takes one ballot and less than one day to elect a speaker, and the victor only needs a simple majority vote to ascend to the speakership. If a simple majority of House members vote in favor, McCarthy will be removed from the post and replaced with a temporary, unknown speaker to preside over the chamber until a new speaker is formally elected.

☆ Hardline shutdown push of the few frustrates US House Republicans

Facing pressure from his right flank, McCarthy is pursuing a partisan Republican CR that would cut current government funding levels and contain provisions on security and immigration at the U.S. border with Mexico. Those proposals are unlikely to win the Democratic support they would need to pass the Senate, or to be signed by Biden. HARDLINE HOLDOUTSBut Republican hardliners, including members of the House Freedom Caucus and allies of former President Donald Trump, are resisting even McCarthy's partisan plan. The record-setting, 34-day 2018 shutdown came weeks after Republicans lost their House majority during Trump's term. "They're talking to a small portion of America," said Republican Representative Darrell Issa.

[1/2] U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy speaks with reporters at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S. September 20, 2023. The House of Representatives voted 216-212 against beginning debate on an $886 billion defense appropriations bill amid opposition from a small group of hardline conservative Republicans. As the vote failed, McCarthy told reporters that he will pursue the "same strategy I had from January: just keep working; never give up." Then a vote to open floor debate on the defense appropriations bill failed. It was not clear how much support the CR or the 2024 top line would draw from House Republicans.

Meanwhile, a larger division within House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's fractious Republican majority prevented lawmakers from agreeing on a short-term measure to keep federal agencies afloat after funding expires on Sept. 30. Even if House Republicans had been able to advance the defense bill or the short-term measure, either would face stiff opposition from congressional Democrats and from the White House, which has already threatened to veto the defense bill. RAUCOUS SESSIONTuesday's House vote failed in a raucous session, with Democrats mocking Republican leaders as they tried to persuade holdouts to change their minds before finally giving up. The House vote came hours after McCarthy delayed a key procedural vote on the 30-day stopgap measure known as a continuing resolution, or CR. The continuing resolution faces opposition from more than a dozen Republican hardline conservatives, enough to block its path forward in the House.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's announcement that he has directed GOP-led House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden was the long-anticipated retribution that White House aides had been waiting for, after House Democrats twice impeached Donald Trump during his term in office. Ever since Republicans retook the House majority last year, the White House has been building a team of legal experts and spokespeople to counter the congressional inquiry launched into the president and his son, Hunter Biden. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said she would not vote on any necessary budget bills unless the House opened an impeachment inquiry. The White House said caving to their demands would show that the exercise is a "costly, illegitimate, politically-motivated exercise not rooted in reality." "The time for impeachment is the time when there's evidence linking President Biden — if there's evidence linking President Biden — to a high crime or misdemeanor.
