Nearly four dozen House Republicans are calling for significant changes to the chamber rules after former Speaker McCarthy was forced out of leadership this week.
A group of nearly four dozen House Republicans is demanding a dramatic overhaul to the chamber rules after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s historic ouster. 'The injustice we all witnessed cannot go unaddressed — lest we bear responsibility for the consequences that follow. Our Conference must address fundamental changes to the structure of our majority to ensure success for the American people,' 45 House GOP lawmakers said in a letter to colleagues on Thursday. McCarthy, R-Calif.
That translates to less than 4 percent of our Republican Conference joining with all Democrats to override the will of the remaining 96 percent of House Republicans on one of the most consequential votes the House has taken in over a century.' They lauded McCarthy as 'one of the most accomplished speakers in modern history.
Intraparty tensions have boiled over in the wake of McCarthy’s ouster. It has made the motion to vacate rule a lightening rod in the current speakership race, with some GOP hardliners insisting it remain, while a majority of the conference have called for its threshold to be hiked above just one member — and others have floated scrapping it altogether.
We cannot allow our majority to be dictated to by the alliance between the chaos caucus and the minority party that will do nothing more than guarantee the failure of our next Speaker,' it continued. Signatories include Reps. Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., as well as Main Street Caucus leaders Dusty Johnson, R-S.D. and Stephanie Bice, R-Okla.
