Go get 'em, Matt:
.@SpeakerMcCarthy is going to get his wish. I’m going to file a motion to vacate against him this week.
If at this time next week Kevin McCarthy is still Speaker of the House, it will be because the Democrats bailed him out. He can be their Speaker, not mine. pic.twitter.com/ITlcwynY39

My prediction is that Gaetz will be successful at ousting McCarthy. Republicans will then spend two or three weeks flailing around, obviously unable to agree on a replacement. Then they'll vote McCarthy back into office.
Then we'll get back to the critical business of obstructing budget bills for FY24.
