This is thanks to a Republican lawmaker&#8217;s new amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), is proposing an amendment to require that the House speaker allow four cameras owned by C-SPAN to broadcast the proceedings on the chamber&#8217;s floor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/gaetz-introduces-amendment-bring-c-span-cameras-back-house-floor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve received a lot of feedback from constituents about how interesting it was, and that you were able to see in real-time how our government is functioning, what alliances are being created, what discussions are being had, what animated moments drive the action,\u201d Gaetz said so to the news outlet. \u201cAnd the pool view of the Congress is antiquated and a little boomer-fied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Republican-led House voted in Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, as the speaker on the 15th ballot shortly after midnight Saturday. C-SPAN received positive reviews during the days-long process for the way its operators captured the most exciting moments in the House chamber during negotiations, voting, and with its wide range of camera angles. Cameras captured Rep. Mike Rogers (R.-AL) in a very exciting moment Friday night. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/matt-gaetz-says-all-is-forgiven-after-house-floor-row-with-fellow-gop-rep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A colleague pulled him away<\/a>\u00a0Stop a confrontation with Gaetz<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chaos on the House&#8217;s Floor: Kevin McCarthy tried to convince Rep.
