'I will resign': RepMattGaetz says he will quit if Democrats strike a deal with Republicans
Rep. Matt Gaetz said he will resign if Democrats strike a deal to hand a"moderate" Republican the speaker's gavel.
“These 212 Democrats are going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries every single time. He’s a historic candidate. They’re not going to cleave off,” Gaetz told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Thursday when asked if he thought centrist Democrats would back McCarthy if they were promised co-control of House committees.“If Democrats join up to elect a moderate Republican, I will resign,” Gaetz continued.
