He is prominent among a hard-line conservative core of House Republicans, Trump-aligned, and bent on reshaping party traditions and reorientating its trajectory to the right. Matt Gaetz is the high-profile House representative who tabled the motion to oust McCarthy. The history-makers at the wheel have travelled a distance from the party fringes to positions of influence.
