Photograph: Mark Schiefelbein/APThe US House of Representatives for the first time in its history has voted to remove its speaker, as infighting in the and bitterly divided Republican majority toppled Kevin McCarthy from the position.
Republican representative Kelly Armstrong told reporters that McHenry’s main task will be to “get us a new speaker”. Anything further, he said, would spark a move to oust McHenry.
Each party was expected to try to settle on a candidate for speaker. That’s fairly easy for Democrats as they are solidly behind minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who ran for speaker in January against McCarthy and other candidates.
