<p>House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) flashed confidence in his ability to prevail over an effort to remove him as speaker following the passage of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-stopgap-spending-measure-with-no-additional-support-for-ukraine">short-term spending bill</a> that averted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/government-shutdown">government shutdown</a>.</p>
<p>During a CBS News interview on Sunday, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; anchor Margaret Brennan asked McCarthy to respond to Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL) announcing that he intends to file a &#8220;motion to vacate&#8221; against McCarthy this coming week.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s nothing new. He&#8217;s tried to do that from the moment I ran for [the] office,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;Yes, I&#8217;ll survive,&#8221; he added when pressed to respond to the latest threat.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;I&#39;ll survive,&quot; House <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpeakerMcCarthy</a> says after Rep. Matt Gaetz said Sunday that he will introduce a motion to vacate McCarthy from his seat this week.</p>
<p>&quot;Bring it on. Let&#39;s get over with it.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/SnCVIHTN4f">pic.twitter.com/SnCVIHTN4f</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) <a href="https://twitter.com/FaceTheNation/status/1708493053265060010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Gaetz, who appeared on multiple Sunday morning TV shows, announced that McCarthy would face a motion to vacate this coming week after the House voted <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes">335-91</a> to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-stopgap-spending-measure-with-no-additional-support-for-ukraine">pass</a> a short-term spending bill with the support of Democrats.</p>
<p>The Florida Republican accused McCarthy of breaching an &#8220;agreement&#8221; with conservatives that allowed McCarthy to become speaker after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kevin-mccarthy-elected-next-speaker-of-the-house">15 rounds of voting in January</a> and dealing with Democrats to &#8220;really blow past spending guardrails we&#8217;d set up.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I will file a motion to vacate against <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpeakerMcCarthy</a> this week. <a href="https://t.co/kFA7X7P2OG">pic.twitter.com/kFA7X7P2OG</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Rep. Matt Gaetz (@RepMattGaetz) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1708478902169931830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Democrat-led Senate approved the continuing resolution, after which President Joe Biden signed it ahead of the midnight deadline before there would have been a government shutdown. The stop-gap measure gives lawmakers more time to reach an agreement on spending the various facets of the federal government in the new fiscal year.</p>

<p>With leaders of the House Democrats saying they &#8220;expect&#8221; McCarthy to queue up a Ukraine aid vote when the House returns, Gaetz also faulted the speaker over what he called a <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1708270763759825399">&#8220;side deal&#8221;</a> with the other party. But, in the end, Gaetz admitted he believes Democrats will <a href="https://twitter.com/ThisWeekABC/status/1708471825837990256">&#8220;bail out&#8221;</a> McCarthy.</p>
<p>McCarthy said &#8220;this is personal&#8221; for Gaetz and claimed Gaetz was &#8220;more interested&#8221; in securing TV interviews than securing the U.S.-Mexico border and preventing a government shutdown.</p>
<p>Under the House rules package approved for this session of Congress, only a single member is needed to trigger <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/motion-vacate-key-sticking-point-gop-speaker-battle/story?id=96241364">the process</a> that could lead to a no-confidence vote in the speaker. For such a vote to succeed, a simple majority is required, meaning Democrats could join with a few disaffected Republicans to secure McCarthy&#8217;s ouster.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bring it on,&#8221; McCarthy said of a potential no-confidence vote. &#8220;Let&#8217;s get over with it, and let&#8217;s start governing.&#8221;</p>
