The House could pass the debt-ceiling deal agreed to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and President Joe Biden, but it might ultimately cost McCarthy his job if he has to have Democrat votes to do it, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., warned Tuesday on Newsmax.
"The operative question there is whether or not the speaker can get to a majority of the majority," Gaetz told Tuesday's "The Chris Salcedo Show." "If a majority of Republicans are against a piece of legislation, and you use Democrats to pass it, that would immediately be a black-letter violation of the deal we had with McCarthy to allow his ascent to the speakership, and it would likely trigger an immediate motion to vacate.
"I think Speaker McCarthy knows that. That's why he's working hard to make sure that he gets 120, 150, 160 votes."

We can always get a new Speaker.
Weak sauce from Gaetz hiding behind some mysterious vote count mathematics on whether McCarthy deserves to be Speaker after this or not.
Still one of my favorites, but he’s turning into a lot of bark and little bite lately..
all were informed what he would do,
.. and do it for Mitt and Ryan.
Hey Matt. Will he be ousted for not releasing the j6 video footage like you promised us?
You mean Trump’s endorsed RINO, McCarthy might be expelled over the debt ceiling deal that Trump still has not commented upon?
....and Trump....who endorsed the RINO McCarthy.
Eli Crane (AZ-2), one of the six not voting for McCarthy for Speaker just posted he is a NO on the proposal.
That would be great.
McCarthy needs to go. He’s such a pussy he can’t win a negotiation with a dementia ridden President. He has all the facts and figures to beat the crap out of any opposition. Face it, McCarthy is an Assistant Democrat. He doesn’t give jack chit about the debt burden on our children and grandchildren. He doesn’t care about freedom and liberty considering a good chunk of the spending goes directly to eliminating our rights and freedoms.
Trump said let it default rather than pass, didn’t he? I think I saw this same comment you made somewhere else this morning?
Actually, we caanot, and should not waste one minute trying it.
Yes, Trump said that.....BEFORE McCarthy's deal with Biden was announced.
Everyone is waiting for Trump's comment on the actual agreement because he wants to be POTUS again.
DeSantis came out and condemned the deal that Trump-endorsed RINO McCarthy negotiated.
“Eli Crane (AZ-2), one of the six not voting for McCarthy for Speaker just posted he is a NO on the proposal.”
Those who have announced a hard “No” are adding up. I was making a list of them earlier, but now have lost track. Crane, Boebert, Bishop, Mace, Hunt, Roy, Donalds, Mills, Fry, Buck, Waltz, Clyde, Self, Biggs, Rosendale, Luna, Miller, Brecheen, Good, Norman, Gaetz -—I’ve forgotten some, but those of the ones I can remember. I think the list is up to 26 or so.
And Mike Collins(GA-10) has announced he is a “No”.
OUST HIM NOW BEFORE YOU ALL LOSE IN THE NEXT ELECTION! YOU ARE ON THIN ICE WITH YOUR VOTERS!
horse, barn door.
We have MTG and Trump to thank for this mess. Thanks a lot.
