Rep. Matt Gaetz files resolution to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House

Matt Gaetz, a right-wing congressman from Florida, has filed a motion to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, citing a deal made with the White House regarding Ukraine funding as the reason.
Tensions between Gaetz and McCarthy arose after McCarthy passed a bill with Democratic support to fund government agencies, leading Gaetz to threaten the motion.
The Speaker's removal would leave the lower chamber of Congress in a state of paralysis, and Democrats must decide whether to support McCarthy or not.
