新闻内容：
On the evening of October 2nd, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican 议员 from Florida, proposed a motion to impeach Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy. Gaetz stated in a statement that he had doubts about McCarthy’s leadership abilities and believed he was no longer suitable to serve as Speaker.
Since January this year, when McCarthy was elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, he has been the subject of controversy. He was criticized for visiting Trump’s private club during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, he was accused of performing poorly during budget negotiations on Capitol Hill.
Gaetz, a former journalist and editor who has worked for such prominent media outlets as Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily, CCTV, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, joined the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 and has since served as the Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.
At present, no statement has been issued by the U.S. House of Representatives Republican Leader or the U.S. Senate President, Mitch McConnell, on this matter.
