Rep. Matt Gaetz offered a behind the scenes look Wednesday at how former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy sought to return to the position.

One of Kevin McCarthy's Republican critics didn't fold to financial pressure to support the former Speaker.

With one brief comment, Rep. Don Bacon incurred the wrath of Republican voters while exposing his historical ignorance of "America First."

"The most popular Republican in the United States Congress was just knifed by secret ballot in a private meeting."

"We have an entire branch of government that's offline. That is unacceptable," Fitzpatrick told reporters after the vote.

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy isn't ready and willing to forget his long feud with Rep. Matt Gaetz.

In addition to the six who have made it official, at least three other Republicans in the House are thought to be considering a run.

House Republicans could embarrass themselves by handing control of the lower chamber of Congress to a Democrat.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had some jabs for Democrats as he nominated Jim Jordan to be speaker of the House.

Things are only getting worse for Jim Jordan, who seems to be losing support -- not gaining it -- in his bid to become speaker.
