According to Politico, multiple sources say that members of the House Freedom Caucus are trying to get Republican leadership to oust Pelosi.
Earlier this week, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy unveiled a plan to get Pelosi from her coveted position in Congress.
The Contract with America commitment includes Republicans’ priorities: tax breaks and police funding.
“Republicans helped build the greatest economy in a generation and the American way of life was thriving,” McCarthy said on Capitol Hill. “We will do it again.”
McCarthy, as noted by Politico, is the only Republican member who can give a “motion to vacate the chair" in a move to remove Pelosi.
McCarthy would be able to "force a floor vote on whether Pelosi can retain the speaker’s gavel," per House rules.
But according to the news outlet, McCarthy hasn't decided whether he will support the effort to remove Pelosi.
He told Fox News on Wednesday: "I don't think it's the best move at the moment."
"The best move is to win 218 seats, and that defeats Nancy Pelosi," he said.
