Kevin McCarthy is dealing with, arguably, the most important political problem of his life – being ouster because the House Speaker. Far-right Republican Rep Matt Gaetz on Monday filed the movement to take away him, placing it out for a vote.

Gaetz has been criticizing McCarthy for months now. The authorities shutdown chaos gave the Florida Republican a possibility to behave on his issues and file a movement. “I have enough Republicans where at this point next week, one of two things will happen: Kevin McCarthy won’t be the speaker of the House, or he’ll be the speaker of the House working at the pleasure of the Democrats,” Gaetz informed reporters in a press convention after calling a vote. “I’m at peace with either result because the American people deserve to know who governs them.”

Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy stated that he believes he’ll survive the vote. “Bring in on,” he tweeted minutes after the movement was filed. Gaetz predicted that lawmakers will assist him and the preliminary vote on evicting McCarthy can be “the floor and not the ceiling”.

Now, what occurs if McCarthy is ousted?

If McCarthy is ousted, a Republican alternative will want no less than 218 votes to take over as Speaker. Two House GOP members informed Axios that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) can be the pure successor to the California politician.

One different informed the information outlet that Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) was approached a number of occasions about being a possible alternative. But he does not appear .

Several different names have come up: Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), House Rules Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.), House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.).
