|Updated:
The conservative House Freedom Caucus has called on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to attempt to oust Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from her speaker position in what appears to be a longshot bid.

The caucus sent a letter to McCarthy on July 23 to set up a privileged motion to oust Pelosi on July 31. Since Democrats—and Pelosi—control the House, that effort likely will fail. McCarthy would also have to agree to their request.
