Speaker McCarthy and the Motion to Vacate
Washington, D.C.,
October 3, 2023

Speaker of the House
Concerning Speaker McCarthy and the Motion to Vacate in the House of Representatives today: I have been profoundly disappointed in several elements of Speaker McCarthy’s leadership, but now is not the time to pursue a Motion to Vacate. Instead, Congress desperately needs to devote its full attention to passing these appropriations bills within the next 43 days. We need to turn our focus now to securing the border and responsible spending reductions to get our nation on a trajectory to balance the budget. |
