Matt Gaetz<\/a> of Florida, a strident critic. It would take the support of only a handful of Republicans to remove McCarthy as speaker, should Democrats vote in favor alongside the conservative rebels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get on with it, McCarthy told his colleagues in a closed-door meeting, according to a Republican in the room granted anonymity to discuss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a stunning moment for the embattled McCarthy that serves as the most severe punishment yet \u2014 sparked by his weekend decision <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-mccarthy-congress-republicans-732baaa19c91f981e492fd0e6a76aba8\">to work with Democrats to keep the federal government open<\/a> rather than risk a shutdown. So far, several hard-right Republicans said they are ready to oppose McCarthy, whose faced challenges from the start of his tenure in January with a prolonged battle to gain the gavel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Capitol, both Republicans and Democrats met privately behind closed doors ahead of what would be a historic afternoon vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c(Democrats) haven\u2019t asked for anything,\u201d McCarthy said on CNBC before the meeting. \u201cI\u2019m not going to provide anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCarthy invoked the last Republican speaker, Joseph Cannon, who more than 100 years ago confronted his critics head on by calling their bluff and setting the vote himself on his ouster. Cannon survived that take-down attempt which, until now, was the first time the House had actually voted to consider removing its speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCarthy received three standing ovations during the private meeting \u2014 one when he came to the microphone to speak, again during his remarks and lastly when he was done, the Republican said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At one point, there was a show of hands in support of McCarthy and it was \u201coverwhelming,\u201d said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a member of the House Freedom Caucus. He said he would be voting to \u201ctable\u201d or set aside the motion against the speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaetz was in attendance, but did not address the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other side of the Capitol, Democrats lined up for a long discussion and unified around one common point: McCarthy cannot be trusted, one of the lawmakers in the room said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the Democrats are holding their strategy close, leaving to Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his team to decide the move ahead as floor voting is set to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s not a lot of good will in that room for Kevin McCarthy,\u201d said Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., said \u201cMcCarthy got himself in this mess. It\u2019s up to McCarthy to get himself out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are always the adults in the room,\u201d said Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger. \u201cMcCarthy said he doesn\u2019t need our help,\u201d she said. \u201cHe has made his bed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker&#8217;s fate is deeply uncertain as he confronts what\u2019s known as a \u201cmotion to vacate\u201d from Rep.
