Biden silent on expected move to oust Speaker McCarthy

President Biden is refusing to comment about an expected move this week to remove Republican Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Over the weekend, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz said he’ll try to oust McCarthy from his leadership position this week. At the White House, the president was asked if Democrats should vote to help McCarthy keep his job. He declined to say, pointing out he doesn’t have a vote in the matter. Gaetz and other hard-right conservatives are upset with McCarthy over the temporary spending bill that was passed on Saturday that averted a federal government shutdown.
