@brutamerica: Breaking: In an unprecedented move, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) was ousted from his role in a 216-210 vote. McCarthy’s controversial speakership lasted 269 days. The move to vote him out was sought by his own Republican party led by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida. The House now stands without a speaker. New nominees will be chosen soon and until then the interim speaker will be Patrick McHenry. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
