The vote was 216-210 in the motion to remove Speaker KevinHouserthy from the House of Representatives! In the history of the U.S., a speaker of the House has never been ousted like this before. Does this say something about the politics of the U.S.?
This afternoon, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif, was removed from his position as the House of Representatives voted against him. Seven House members were alreHousebsent, yet a handful of conservatives joined the Democrats to vote him out.
With this move, the Democrats and the conservatives removed McCarthy, and after the decision, McCarthy informed the House of Republicans that he would not be running for Speaker anymore; hence, the position was clear for a new leader to take charge.
The issue of removing Speaker Kevin McCarthy was going on for some time, and his allies tried to force a vote that would be in his favor. Unfortunately, the effort given by Representative Matt Gaetz was quite alive as the House Democrats, along with a dozen Republicans, voted against McCarthy!
Further, many former President Donald Trump representatives are eligible to become speaker candidates. In a tweet, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga, stated that the only candidate she currently supports is Donald Trump!
She said in a statement, “ We can make him Speaker and then elect him President!” Other Representatives, such as Troy E. Nehls, R-Texas, also stated that he plans on nominating Donald Trump as the Speaker.
These aspects are riled up because the Speaker of the House of Representatives does not need to be a member of Congress. With the position of the Speaker empty, there will be challenges, but the focus is to integrate the opportunity to move forward!McCarthy has been a house speaker for nine months, so Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, the Senate Minority Leader, praised him as he acknowledged the Speaker and his focus on worthy causes. McCarthy was the one to have conservative principles and develop opportunities for the American People!
