Speaking to reporters outside the House chamber on Tuesday, beleaguered House Speaker Kevin McCarthy admitted that it's likely he'll be vacated as House Speaker. A vote on whether or not he'll retain the speakership is set for 1:30 pm on Tuesday. The motion to vacate the Speaker hasn't been used in over 113 years.
"Are you expecting Democrats to back you up then?" He was asked.
"Personally, I'm not," McCarthy said.
"Do you need their help to remain in leadership?"
"No, if five Republicans go with Democrats, I'm out," he said.
"Sounds likely," the reporter said.
"Probably so," McCarthy said.
