House Republicans Consider Exiting Bipartisan Caucus After Democrats Help Oust McCarthy

Several House Republicans in the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus are considering leaving the group over frustration with their Democratic counterparts' role in Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ouster.

Republicans say they expected some Democrats in the group to help shield McCarthy, but they flipped and joined the GOP hardliners in voting him out.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis said she is "really thinking strongly" about leaving the group and other Republicans also expressed dissatisfaction.

Rep. Anthony D'Esposito accused Democrats of hypocritically entering an "unholy alliance" with GOP "misfits" to remove McCarthy.
