House of Representatives votes on maintaining McCarthy as Speaker
Members of the press surround House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) (center) as he approaches the House chamber where Representatives will consider a Motion to Vacate the House Speaker’s position. If approved, the motion 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.
