Congress votes to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
In a historic moment, the House of Representatives voted to remove Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, making it the first time that a Speaker has been ousted in this manner. The move came after McCarthy faced considerable pushback from conservative members of the House over issues such as border security, funding for Ukraine, and the handling of debt ceiling negotiations. McCarthy's agreement on a deal with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown further fueled the anger among his party members. With McCarthy's removal, the question now turns to who will be the ultimate replacement and the future battles for the Speaker's position.
