A total of 21 Republicans are withholding their support for Kevin McCarthy in the House speaker vote, preventing him from obtaining the speaker's gavel.
Rep.-elect Ralph Norman explains his decision to vote against Kevin McCarthy in his ongoing fight for speaker of the House on ‘Fox & Friends First.’
Of the 20 Republicans who have refused to put their support behind McCarthy in previous votes, a handful of them — including Florida Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz and Arizona Rep.-elect Andy Biggs — have pledged not to support McCarthy at all. Meanwhile, other holdouts like Texas Rep.-elect Chip Roy are working to negotiate a deal with McCarthy.The number of Republicans who have said they would not vote for McCarthy is crucial.
During an appearance on Fox News Channel on Thursday night, Gaetz, who has represented Florida's 1st Congressional District since 2017, told host Laura Ingraham that he would not bet on his"vote forGaetz's comments align with comments he made earlier this week. On Wednesday, Gaetz referred to McCarthy as a"desperate guy" and insisted that he is willing to vote"all night, all week, all month" against him.
"In the end, I must concur with my constituents: it is time to make a change at the top of the House of Representatives. I cannot vote for the gentleman from California, Mr. McCarthy," Biggs wrote in an opinion piece for American Greatness.
