Republican Matt Gaetz files historic bid to oust. Beállítások

US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy is fighting for his political life after a right-wing rebel filed a rarely used motion to oust him.

Responding to Matt Gaetz's move, Mr McCarthy posted on social media: "Bring it on." Mr Gaetz retorted: "Just did."

Tensions between the two Republicans boiled over at the weekend after the Speaker passed a bill with the help of Democrats to fund government agencies.

No US Speaker has ever been ousted by such a so-called motion to vacate.

The leadership has two days to bring up the measure for a vote, though procedural tools could be used to thwart the process.

The Speaker is second in the line of succession for the presidency after the US vice-president. He or she sets the lower house of Congress' legislative priorities, controls committee assignments, and can make or break the White House's agenda.

The deal late on Saturday that averted a government shutdown left out $6bn (£5bn) of funding for Ukraine because Mr Gaetz, of Florida, and other ultraconservatives insisted the US has spent too much on that country's war with Russia.
