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."

When the little punk from Florida was in the House of Representatives he didn’t just endorse a Speaker of the House, he actually voted twice for the same guy. The guy was Paul Ryan.

Nice try, but Trump endorsed Paul Ryan for Speaker as well. DeSantis gave Trump his pick.

It was another lousy choice by Trump....who seems to make lots of those lousy choices that you will try to excuse by blaming everyone else except the man who made the choice, Trump.
