The United States House of Representatives votes to remove Speaker of the House

In a historic moment, the United States House of Representatives has voted to remove its Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. This unprecedented action leaves the chamber leaderless, creating a significant void in the legislative branch. McCarthy's removal was not due to ethical breaches or criminal accusations but resulted from policy and political differences, specifically concerning spending levels and budget cuts. McCarthy's choices to avoid a government shutdown and a potential debt default further strained his relationship with hard-right Republicans, who felt he compromised their principles. Ultimately, McCarthy's failure to maintain the trust of both the hard-right faction and the Democrats led to his ousting as Speaker of the House.
