, “Thanks to [McCarthy] & Steering for voting me on the committees I requested on the submission form most of us filled out.”
After days of intense negotiations, McCarthy convinced most of the 20 GOP holdouts to change their votes, in part by agreeing to lower the number of members necessary to bring a vote to remove him from speaker from five to one, known as motion to vacate. “Well, we got a few other things but I’m thrilled the [motion to vacate] is back to the pre-Pelosi standard. Totally worth it!” Gaetz said in response to Greene’s criticism.
Rep. Matt Gaetz was one of the politicians who switched their votes to “present,” allowing McCarthy to proceed his new role after a week delay.Greene was stripped of her assignments on the Education and Budget committees in a nearly party-line vote in February 2021 after social media posts she made endorsing conspiracy theories resurfaced. Greene also liked a Facebook comment calling for the murder of then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .
