US House ousts Kevin McCarthy as leader in historic vote
- The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a leadership challenge to Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which could potentially result in Congress being thrown into chaos. If successful, this would be the first time in U.S. History that the House lawmakers voted out their leader. McCarthy's hold on power is threatened by as few as five Republican defections, should all Democrats vote against him.
- McCarthy, who served as speaker for less than nine months, became the first lawmaker to ever be removed from the position by a House vote. Despite this, McCarthy has made it clear that he will not be attempting to regain the position.
- There is a divide among Republicans, with some supporting McCarthy while others, like Matt Gaetz, celebrating the success of the motion to vacate. McCarthy has criticized those who voted against him, questioning their trustworthiness and conservative values.
