Republicans Trapped in a Hell of Their Own Making (msn.com)
The Republican House majority is teetering on a precipice after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that he is leaving Congress.
McCarthy, who was ousted from the speakership by a group of hard-right Republicans following an unprecedented motion to vacate in October, revealed on Wednesday that he was "leaving the House at the end of the year."
Following the expulsion of controversial Republican George Santos from the House this week, McCarthy's departure will leave the GOP with just 220 members in the chamber, only two more than the 218 required for a majority.
Disagreements among Republicans have already significantly impacted the governing ability of House Speaker Mike Johnson, McCarthy's replacement. The shrinking GOP majority will likely exacerbate the problem...
From The Hill:Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) offered a grim outlook on the shrinking GOP majority after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced his plans to resign by the end of the month Wednesday.
“Now in 2024, we will have a 1 seat majority in the House of Representatives,” Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Congratulations Freedom Caucus for one and 105 Rep who expel our own for the other. I can assure you Republican voters didn’t give us the majority to crash the ship.”
“Hopefully no one dies,” she added.
Greene was referring to the House Freedom Caucus’s push to remove McCarthy from his role earlier this year and to the 105 Republicans joining almost all Democrats to expel former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from the House last week.[/quote]
