<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) rejected the possibility of entering a power-sharing agreement with House Democrats in order to stave off efforts from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to remove McCarthy from the speakership, saying that Republicans are in the majority and they are not going to surrender.</p>
<p>When asked by reporters if Gaetz could continually refile the motion to vacate the speakership until his effort is successful, McCarthy acknowledged that it could happen.</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems very personal with Matt, it doesn&#8217;t look like he&#8217;s looking out for the country or the institution,&#8221; McCarthy said.</p>
<p>McCarthy added that he was not willing to make a power-sharing agreement with Democrats in order to preserve his speakership.</p>
<p>&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t work,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;Look, I&#8217;m a conservative, I&#8217;m a Republican. I&#8217;m a conservative that wants to get things done &#8230; we&#8217;re in the majority. You don&#8217;t surrender.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;From the day I came in, I&#8217;ve always said, I&#8217;m going to treat Hakeem [Jeffries] the way I wanted to be treated,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think you&#8217;ve seen that. Everything doesn&#8217;t have to be political.&#8221;</p>
<p>McCarthy said that at the end of the day, his decision to vote for the short-term spending bill over the weekend to keep the government open was the right decision to make.</p>
<p>&#8220;I stand by that decision, and at the end of the day if I have to lose my job over, so be it, but I&#8217;m going to fight for the American public, and I&#8217;ll continue to fight.&#8221;</p>
