A plan to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) worried that the move will only throw the Republican majority into chaos and allow Democrats to extract political “prizes” in the process.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has indicated he may pursue an effort to oust Mr. McCarthy from his speakership, following a contentious debate over the 2024 government budget that saw Mr. Gaetz and other conservatives split with Republican leadership.
