The rest of the field was silent in the immediate aftermath of the vote.

Its hard to make the argument that oversight is the reason to continue when it sort of looks like failure theater, Gaetz says in the clip.","source":"

Following the 208-218 vote that defeated a measure to derail the ouster attempt against McCarthy, the House floor is crowded with probably 80% of the chairs filled by members. Aside from big joint session speeches and votes, this is a rare thing. Even more rare, the House members are listening.

Of course, none of that has meant a reduction in the vitriol of floor speeches. But instead of alternating between Democrats and Republicans, they have, so far, exclusively featured members of the GOP.

Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) accused McCarthy of giving in to Democrats too easily, citing the debt limit deal earlier in the summer and this past weekends stopgap funding bill.

If youre not willing to say no, then youre going to lose, Good said. If not right now, then when do we fight?

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said most of the House Republicans want to keep McCarthy, aside from the 11 that voted with Democrats to keep the ouster resolution alive.

The overwhelming majority of my party supports the speaker we elected, he said.

Cole also had a warning for Democrats: Think long and hard before inserting themselves into a GOP intraparty dispute.

He also said the anti-McCarthy dissidents had been causing chaos for a while now for reasons only they understand.

Those 11 Republicans are Reps. Ken Buck (Colo.), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Bob Good (Va.), Nancy Mace (S.C.), Tim Burchett (Tenn.), Cory Mills (Fla.) and Gaetz.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) told reporters after the vote that there were a couple of GOP members in that group who were surprises.

\"I think those members aren't really necessarily going to vote to vacate,\" said Crenshaw, referring to following through with a vote to remove McCarthy. \"I think they're now on a path to maybe go ask for things from the speaker to gain their vote.\"

If he does, what happens next?

The short answer is, who knows! There isn't an obvious replacement, and there is nobody who currently has more support in the GOP conference than the California Republican.

One way forward is coming into focus: some Republicans are reportedly vowing to renominate McCarthy and then prevent the House from adjourning until he gets reinstalled.

It's reminiscent of McCarthy's approach to becoming the speaker at all. In January, he endured 14 failed votes and days of humiliation before finally getting the votes to become his party's leader. It's looking like he may be ready to basically wear everybody down to the point of giving in and electing him to the post, again.

Think of it as a pro sports play-in game: to get to the formal ouster resolution and vote on that, proponents have to survive attempts to derail it.

That is what the first vote on Gaetzs resolution will be, a move by McCarthy supporters to keep it from actually coming to the floor where members would then be forced to vote thumbs-up or thumbs-down on the California Republicans future. Formally, the vote would be a motion to table, basically to set the resolution aside indefinitely.

For McCarthy supporters, theyll be voting yes, while his opponents would be voting no. If the noes win, the next big vote would be on the ouster resolution itself. It is not clear exactly when that would be, though.

If McCarthy wins the tabling vote, that is, if the tabling motion is successful, its game over for Gaetz, at least for now. He can and has threatened to bring additional ouster resolutions, but likely at the cost of further annoying his party colleagues.

If McCarthy loses the tabling vote, the resolution would be the next order of business and debate would start on that. In theory, McCarthy could lose the tabling vote but still win the vote on formally kicking him from the speakers chair but it would be unlikely, especially if the tabling motion loses by a big margin. He could try to find more votes while the debate on the resolution is ongoing, but again, that would be difficult.

But heres the weird thing: losing today does not mean McCarthy wont be back as speaker. There would be eventually another round of votes over who would be the next speaker, as in January, and McCarthy could run again for the post if he wanted.

McCarthys strength has always been that there is no clear successor to him who would be palatable to all the wings of the House GOP. While it was a consensus move for then-Rep. Paul Ryan to succeed Speaker John Boehner when the latter stepped down under similar circumstances in 2015, theres no similar obvious protg now.

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), chairman of the Rules Committee and veteran of intraparty House GOP politics, said last week he thought the same thing that netted McCarthy the gavel his relentlessness would mean he would keep it.

\"Yeah, he'd be removed, Cole said. We'd recess, we'd go down [to the Capitols basement meeting room], we'd renominate [McCarthy], we'd come back up.

As he said himself at conference, 'I've done 15 rounds. I can do 50. It's up to you guys.' I believe that,\" Cole said.","source":"","title":"Here's What To Expect Today","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"629e4f2ae4b0c184bdd3e4bc","userId":"629e4f2ae4b0c184bdd3e4bd","fullName":"Jonathan Nicholson","bio":{"text":"Jonathan Nicholson covers Capitol Hill and campaigns for HuffPost.

Matt Gaetz had planned to do this from the very beginning, the leader said on CNBC, adding that Gaetz has personal things in his life that he has challenges with.

In that same interview, McCarthy accused Gaetz of targeting him because the speaker would not scrap a House ethics investigation into the Florida congressmans conduct. That conduct was also the subject of a two-year Justice Department criminal sex trafficking probe that ended earlier this year without charges being filed.

He wants me to try to wipe that away. Im not going to do that. Thats illegal, McCarthy told CNBC. And you know what? If some way I lose my job because I uphold the law [and the] continuity of government, so be it.

A day earlier, Gaetz said that policy failures are recast as personal because their own failures are personally embarrassing to them.
