McCarthy becomes the first speaker ever to be ousted from the job in a House vote

On Tuesday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy experienced an unprecedented turn of events as he was voted out of his position, marking the first such occurrence in U.S. history.

This extraordinary development was instigated by a group of staunch conservatives, plunging the House and its Republican leadership into a state of turmoil.

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, McCarthy’s primary competitor, orchestrated this unusual vote through the rarely used “motion to vacate” and rapidly proceeded to a dramatic roll call vote in the afternoon.

A hushed anticipation enveloped the chamber as the presiding officer concluded the vote, tallying 216 in favor of vacating the speaker’s office to 210 against it, the Associated Press reported.
