Kevin McCarthy ousted as House Speaker

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) returns to his office following approval of a motion to oust him from the House Speaker’s office. House business is suspended pending selection of a new Speaker. Hard-right Republicans and Democrats voted to approve the motion, introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gaetz 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.
