  1. Before the vote, the House Democratic leadership urged their caucus to vote "yes" on the motion to vacate. "Given their unwillingness to break from MAGA extremism in an authentic and comprehensive manner, House Democratic leadership will vote yes on the pending Republican Motion to Vacate the Chair," Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York wrote to his caucus. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington said her party would be unanimous in voting against McCarthy. "We are following our leader, and we are not saving Kevin McCarthy," she said.
