This marks the first time in US history that a speaker of the House has been removed from office, and it comes less than a year after his election. 

The vote to oust McCarthy followed a motion to vacate the chair from the Florida Republican congressman Matt Gaetz.

After McCarthy’s Republican allies failed to block the motion from moving forward, a final vote was held on Tuesday afternoon.

Eight hard-right Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting McCarthy’s removal, as 210 Republicans tried and failed to keep the speaker in place.

McCarthy’s removal comes after he worked with House Democrats to pass a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution, to avoid a government shutdown over the weekend. 

This angered far-right Republicans, who had repeatedly blocked other legislation and were angered that McCarthy relied on Democratic votes to pass the temporary funding extension.

What Happens Next?

If McCarthy is ousted, someone from a secret backup list would likely take his place. However, it is unclear who that person would be, and the House Republicans would be launched into chaos as they try to find a new leader.
