Eight House Republicans voted to remove Kevin McCarthy in a historic vote.
MCCARTHY OUSTED IN HISTORIC VOTE TO STRIP HIM OF SPEAKERSHIP
The House of Representatives made a bold move by voting to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the speakership. In a surprising turn of events, all present Democrats and eight Republicans joined forces to remove him from his post. This decision has significant implications as it means the House will be unable to function until a new speaker is elected.
House Republicans Who Supported the Motion
- Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
- Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)
- Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN)
- Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ)
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
- Rep. Bob Good (R-VA)
- Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)
- Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) brought forward the motion to vacate the speakership, accusing McCarthy of making a “Ukraine deal with Democrats” to pass aid for the country at a later date. This allegation played a significant role in Gaetz’s decision to take action. However, not everyone supported the motion, as Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA) mocked Gaetz for fundraising off of his motion.
It is worth noting that McCarthy faced a challenging speaker election in January, enduring 15 rounds of voting due to resistance from members of the Republican conference. Now, just nine months later, another vote will determine who will take over the coveted position of House speaker.
