Hes coming for you, can you survive . Yes, ill survive. This is personal with matt because he wants to take this motion. So be it, bring it on, lets get over with it. Kevin mccarthy staving off a Government Shutdown at the very last minute but could it ultimately cost him the speakers gavel. And donald trump back in new york this morning where he says hes going to person in person for his Civil Fraud Trial that gets under way just hours from now. Good day to our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is monday, october 2nd. Its 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, where House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy could make history this week, but unlikely its the way that he wants to because as early as today, mccarthy could become the first to have his gavel challenged in over 100 years. I do intend to file a motion to vacate against Speaker Mccarthy this week. I think we need to just rip off the band aid. I think we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy. That, of course, Florida Republican matt gaetz, mccarthys chief tormenter. He says, of course, mccarthy made a mistake when he worked with democrats over the weekend to pass a continuing resolution to, of course, prevent the u. S. Government from shutting down with just minutes to spare. Right now, there is no consensus among House Democrats. They would need to help mccarthy if gaetz does force a vote on mccarthys speakership. And some republicans arent really buying what gaetz is selling either. They are the reason that we had to Work Together yesterday with House Democrats to pass a c. R. That is not the fault of Kevin Mccarthy. Thats the fault of matt gaetz. If theres a motion to vacate, would you vote against the speaker . And do you think democrats would help you do that . Frankly, i dont know. Ive got to think about that because theres a lot going on in that building behind us. What democrats i cant speak to right now. With us right now is cnns stephen collinson, our great picture painter. Thank you for being on the show. This was a massive weekend in washington. Im sure it didnt go at all how we expected. We had so many conversations this weekend about the inevitability of a Government Shutdown. Mccarthy clearly decided at the last minute he was going to make a different move. But it really does put his job on the line. What was the calculus there . And what happens next . Right. So, mccarthy had a choice. Either he would pass this bill with massive spending cuts, far below the ones he agreed with President Biden which were demanded by the far right in his conference, then he would have put the government in a shutdown. Or he could face down the rightwingers that have been tormenting him really ever since he won the speakership over 15 rounds of voting back in january. He chose the latter option. And that is what has put his job on the line. The question now is how many republicans will rebel against him in a vote to take the speakership away from him. And how Many Democrats would be needed to get him over the line and keep him speaker. And if ultimately a speaker who is sent to washington to counter a republican president with conservative governments could survive very long relying on democratic votes. Its a really honestly, i think, to keep the lens wide here for a second, this is so incredibly different from the way that washington has operated for the past certainly, since ive been covering this town, over the last, you know, 10, 15 years. And really, way before that as well. Because just to help people understand, if gaetz makes this motion, mccarthy could be back in that position where he was when he was getting the gavel in the first place. Police remember those 15 votes over and over and over again. But at this point, it seems like he may be in a situation where he doesnt actually have enough. He cant get over the line. And democrats would have a decision to make. Can you help us kind of understand, theres a division inside the Democratic Caucus. Theyre trying to keep their divisions very locked down and very quiet. But i think there are progressives who are out there already saying out loud, saying, hey, matt gaetz has approached us making sure we dont support mccarthy. And then there are leaders saying lets keep our powder dry, maybe this is the best way to move forward, maybe we can get something out of this. Where do you think the conversations stand right now . Right. What happens after, democrats arent going to do this for free, theyre going to demand concessions from mccarthy. Its not clear any concessions he has to give them would be enough. But if youre a moderate democrat, lets say in a district where youre facing a tough race, you could see a rationale for voting with mccarthy. That would give candidates distance from progressives in their party. Allow them to defend against them in the general election and make them look independent. And there are some democrats who really fear consequences of continuing months of chaos right up to the 2024 election, you know, for the health of the country. The flip side to that is, this would be an impossible vote for Many Democrats to take in the house. Theres huge mistrust of Kevin Mccarthy. You know, politically, it would be impossible for a democrat who would fear, perhaps, a primary challenge from their left to vote to keep a republican speaker in power. After all, lets remember, this is a republican speaker who just opened an impeachment investigation against the democratic president joe biden. So theres no good feeling for him whatsoever. Especially as many on the democratic side of the house believe that investigation was what turned out to be a failed attempt to appease the hard right and head of this Government Shutdown. Its going to be difficult to keep democrats united. I think the question is how many republicans stand with gaetz want to get rid of mccarthy, not the least of which theres no obvious successor or anyone who could do a better job in a fraction of splinted majority of keep be the house together, thats going to be the question. And how Many Democrats would be needed to prop him up. Yeah, i know, its a very good point. We should note, theres an notion if Many Democrats were simply present 93 wouldnt have to vote for other against mccarthy it might allow mccarthy to get through. Stephen, you used the word that i think is kind of the word of the moment here in washington. Maybe it always is, but trust, there is very little trust coming from any direction towards mccarthy from his office, among democrats and thats making this situation really tough. Stephen collinson, thank you for being with us, i appreciate your time. We now know california governor Gavin Newsoms pick to fill Dianne Feinstein senate seat. Laphonza butler, fulfilling the promise he made to name a black woman to the seat. Shell serve in voters choose the next senator in the 2024 election. Shell become the third black woman to ever serve in the senate and now the only black female senator in congress. In a political twist, House Democrats as we were just talking about suddenly holding all of the cards. What are they going to do. Plus, no more aid to ukraine for now. How kyiv is responding. And donald trump in front of a tractor on an iowa farm. I think you can guess why he was there but well talk more about it. Welcome back. President biden urging House Republicans to keep their promise on ukraine aid after signing a Government Spending bill that doesnt have any in it. Speaking at the white house, the president says he couldnt justify hurting millions of americans by shutting down the government. But he does want to assure ukraine and u. S. Allies that american support is unwavering. I hope my friends in versailles keep their word about support for ukraine. They said theyre going to support ukraine in a separate vote. We cannot, under any circumstance, allow americans allow to interrupt. Cnns nada bashir is live in london with more. Nada, good morning to you. How is ukraine responding to the fact that the fact that the spend ago assists them was stripped out of this bill . Well, 100 , of course, this will be a temporary measure. But this has sparked concern online within ukraine, but also within the europe peoplan union. We heard them during be with the high representative borrell saying ukrainians are closely in touch with politicians on both sides of the divide. Democrats and republicans, trying to assure that a new bill will include provisions for additional funding for ukraine. While the concern is there, borrell was sure they would continue to stand by ukraine, take a listen. We dont feel that the u. S. Support has been shuttered. And because the United States understands that what is at stake in ukraine is much bigger than just ukraine. Its about the stability and predictability of the world. And, therefore, i believe that well be able to find resources. Of course, as we know, there are billions for ukrainian aid in the u. S. Budget, and a shutdown could, potentially, have dire consequences for ukraine. That is the concern for the next budget that will be in consideration in the next couple of weeks. Over the last year, more than a year now, weve seen the impact of u. S. Funding. The impact of military aid packages, support offered for ukraine with counteroffensive. Of course, the European Union is now expressing concern as they share the european council, borrell feels there could be Wavering Support on the part of the u. S. Government. Nada bashir in london, thank you very much. President biden and House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy seem to be really are on different pages about ukraine aid. Mccarthys office is not saying whether or not he gave the white house any assurances on this. But the president said they made, quote, a deal. Although biden does not sound completely confident that mccarthy will follow through. Mr. President , are you going to be able to trust Speaker Mccarthy when the next deal comes around . We just made one about ukraine. So, well find out. Very interesting. Cnns max foster joins me now. Max, happy monday. Wonderful to see you. So, some very vague things going on here. Mccarthys office is not saying anything about whether or not they cut a deal with the white house to get a separate vote on ukraine funding. The president seems to be saying out loud, hey, actually, we did make a deal. All of this, of course, has kyiv on tender hooks. Whats the latest. Its interesting playing that sound bite from the Ukrainian Minister saying were not too worried but at the same time, the eu top emplodiplomat joe bo says hes worried. Ukraine cant carry on to the extent its currently in without u. S. Money. Theyre paying by far the largest amount of money into it. And the reason the European Union is worried is that this has a huge impact on allies as well. It really hurt President Biden speaking to that, trying to calm tensions, saying we will reach a deal doesnt just matter to his relationship with ukraine, but also matters with all of the allies in europe, they have to step in which they cant really do without that amount of money. And its the european war, isnt it . It has huge repercussions. The reality of what were facing is worrying. And those diplomats meeting in kyiv today have a huge amount to get through. And to try to stop the panic a way, as well as resolving some sort of deal with the u. S. Yeah. No its a really great point. And the other reality here, all of those folks youre talking about are facing is that the House Of Representatives is still a mess, even if mccarthy wants to bring ukraine aid to the floor. It sounds like matt gaetz is going to jump in and kick him out of a job. The rule is that takes at least two days. Were a ways off of this. The other piece of this, max, i saw you reporting in last hour, we talked about this last week, the election in slovakia actually has pretty significant ramifications for kyiv. And they play into this idea there are these new challenges and cracks in the western support in the context of that war. I mean, what happened here . And what does it mean . I think it sort of fits into this idea that ukraine is becoming a Party Political issue in many countries. Particularly on the right and on the far right, politicians are saying weve got to stop funding, stop supporting the war in ukraine. Thats exactly whats happened isnt slovakia, robert fico who got the most amount of votes in the slovakian election wants to stop funding ukraine who was a very close ally, wants to stop supporting it any way only in terms of humanitarian efforts. That was a big moment but that doesnt mean hes going to necessarily be prime minister. He has to find a coalition partner. The key one was the farright partner. But they didnt get enough votes so they have to tie into someone else. They have to tie in someone more moderate than him. Maybe well get a more moderate version of this ukrainian policy. Max foster, appreciate you being here. See you tomorrow. Thanks. Just ahead where senator Die Nan Finestein will lie in state ahead of her funeral next week. And what happened to a Little Girl Mig in Upstate New York . Welcome back. Quick hits across america now.
