Carter, Sr. (D-La.) released the following statement in response to the motion to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy:\n\n\u201cThis Speakership has been dysfunctional since day one. Americans deserve better, and it is our job as elected officials to move our country forward. The \u2018House Republican Civil War\u2019 we\u2019re witnessing today is at best distasteful, and at worst defective.\n\n\u201cI came to Congress to make Louisianian\u2019s lives better, to guarantee vital resources for combatting natural disasters, to defend social security and Medicaid, and to protect our most vulnerable. I will continue to find bipartisan solutions with my colleagues whenever possible in the best interest of the people I serve.\n\n\u201cI will always put people over politics; progress over partisanship.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carter-issues-statement-house-republican-civil-war"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.140437252819538, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
