Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is offering some advice to his successor. McCarthy told CBS’s Face the Nation Speaker Mike Johnson shouldn’t be afraid of a motion to vacate.
McCarthy said he doesn’t believe Johnson will be ousted as speaker. This after Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green filed a motion to vacate Johnson due to his support for a bipartisan spending bill that was ultimately signed into law.
It’s the same procedure that led to McCarthy being forced out as speaker last year.
