House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is facing a revolt from right-wing Republicans, prompting his supporters to seek the support of House Democrats to prevent his removal. Moderate Republicans want to change House rules to make removing the speaker harder but Democrats are reluctant to help McCarthy given their skepticism over his leadership on recent issues. Some Democrats accuse McCarthy of promoting extremism and enabling extremists within his party. The decision to support McCarthy may be based on avoiding chaos in the House and uncertainty about the next speaker.
