House of Representatives votes on maintaining McCarthy as Speaker
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) leaves his office to go to the House chamber where the U.S. House of Representatives will consider a Motion to Vacate the House Speaker’s position, which would force McCarthy out of office. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a hard right Republican, introduced the motion after McCarthy joined with mainstream Republicans and Democrats to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government for 45 days, averting a shutdown that would have begun October 1.
