Why House Republicans, and Maybe Some Democrats, Want to Remove Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Conservatives who make up the House Freedom Caucus last week forced a meeting of the House's entire Republican conference to discuss a motion "to vacate the chair," which is a push to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to step down.\nThe Freedom Caucus has worked on this effort to remove Pelosi since July. What was the deciding factor in going ahead now? How does the motion to vacate work, especially given the House's Democrat majority? Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., chairman of the Freedom Caucus, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nThe New York Times publishes an article detailing President\u2019s Trump's income tax returns.\xa0\n\n\xa0Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says that confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will begin Oct. 12.\xa0\n\nChris Wallace, host of \u201cFox News Sunday,\u201d\xa0will moderate tonight's first presidential debate tonight, but doesn't plan to fact-check either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.\xa0\n\n\n Hosted on Acast.
