"McCarthy's Political Battles: Gaetz, GOP Foes, and Nancy Mace's Downfall"

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy accuses Rep. Matt Gaetz of leading the push for his ouster as revenge for an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz's conduct. McCarthy believes Gaetz would throw his country away to protect himself and suggests that the Republican party would benefit if Gaetz were to leave Congress. McCarthy expresses concern over the future of the House Republican conference if Gaetz faces no consequences but does not explicitly call for his expulsion. McCarthy also discusses his own future in Congress, stating that he will consider all options and can remain influential within the GOP even without holding a leadership position.
