Kevin McCarthy ousted as House Speaker

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is surrounded by a sea of press and security as he returns to his office after being ousted as House Speaker. House business is suspended pending selection of a new Speaker. Hard-right Republicans and Democrats voted to approve a motion to vacate the Speaker's office, 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.
