Kevin McCarthy Removed as Speaker Following Historic Vote
(Worthy News) – The House of Representatives voted 216-210 to oust Congressman Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, marking a historic first and a new chapter in the ongoing conflict between the Republican Party’s establishment and its hard right.
At the helm of the unprecedented effort to remove McCarthy was Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida who filed a “motion to vacate” after McCarthy supported a bipartisan deal to avert a government shutdown that saw the support of most Republicans and all but one Democrat.
Eight Republicans joined every member of the Democratic Party to exceed the simple majority needed to oust the speaker. These conservatives included Representatives Gaetz, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ken Buck of Colorado, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Eli Crane of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Matt Rosendale of Montana.
