'Squad' member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested that House Democrats could bail out House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) if a motion to vacate his speakership comes before the House, but not without a price.
"Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that House Democrats could bail out House Speaker Kevin McCarthy if a motion to vacate his speakership comes before the House, but not without a price.

Matt Gaetz said on Sunday that he plans to introduce a motion to vacate this week, in which a majority is needed — ironically requiring the support of House Democrats, as Gaetz would not have the votes from the full Republican caucus to remove McCarthy.
