Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said Monday that she's still contemplating which way she would vote if a motion to vacate is brought against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., later this week.
Her Republican colleague Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., has vowed to bring the motion, though he's threatened that several times before.
During an interview Monday on "The View," Mace said her frustrations with McCarthy are for "very different reasons.""I empathize with Matt Gaetz over his frustration," Mace went on. "My frustration is a little bit different, but I was made promises by the Speaker that have not been kept. I've been a strong fighter for women's rights since overturning Roe v.
However, a handful of House Republicans — including McCarthy — say Gaetz is waging a personal — not policy — war against the Speaker, something Gaetz denied Sunday. Regardless, McCarthy pledged to be the "adult in the room" to avert a federal government shutdown, which he successfully did, and cajoled Gaetz to "bring it on" the motion during a Sunday news talk program."I think there are about a dozen or so Republicans that will support the motion to vacate. It's hard to say what's going to happen. I think McCarthy will get the votes if Democrats support him," Mace said on the show.
"I think there any number of people that could replace him, I don't think it actually happens though. I think he's going to have the votes with Democrats' support."Mark Swanson ✉ Mark Swanson, a Newsmax writer and editor, has nearly three decades of experience covering news, culture and politics.
