Rep. Andy Ogles told Newsmax he remained undecided about how to vote on the leadership challenge to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after Rep. Matt Gaetz, a McCarthy critic, filed a motion to vacate the chair, and a Tuesday afternoon vote to decide.
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Tuesday that he remained undecided about how to vote on the leadership challenge to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
"Well, to be determined," Ogles said when "Newsline" host Bianca de la Garza asked how he would vote. "I'm going to meet with some of my colleagues, but at the end of the day, the rules, the package that we agreed upon, have been breached. And so, whether you like Matt Gaetz or not, he's correct. "We've been debating back and forth and, look, I'm committed to the 12 appropriations bills, and anything that gets into the way of that, quite frankly, is frustrating. We made that promise to the American people.""Right now, it's about how do we move forward with the appropriations," he told de la Garza. "We've passed 4 of those 12. We have eight to go at this point.
Ogles joined Gaetz and other conservative hardliners who made McCarthy wait 15 rounds of voting before ultimately securing the gavel in January.
