Matt Gaetz has filed a "motion to vacate" against the House speaker Kevin McCarthy:
The vote is due to take place "within two legislative days".
Will any Democrats vote to keep McCarthy as speaker? This does not include any Democrats abstaining, voting "present" or otherwise acting to support McCarthy without actually voting to keep him in office.

Resolution notes:
Any yes/no vote where House members go on the record will qualify if the purpose is to vote on whether to declare the speaker position vacant or to dismiss the attempts to remove McCarthy
If the motion to vacate is somehow decided without a yes/no vote where House members go on the record with their votes (eg. McCarthy resigns, the motion is withdrawn, there is a procedure to strike the motion down without an explicit vote, etc) this market will resolve to N/A
If there are multiple votes, this market only applies to the first formally counted vote
