Ousting of Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker
Kevin McCarthy's time as House Speaker has been fraught since his election in January 2023. During the House Speaker election, McCarthy had difficulty securing enough votes from hard-right Republicans in Congress, who voiced that they viewed McCarthy as too willing to work with Democrats, particularly when it came to passing spending bills. This resulted in 14 rounds of House Speaker elections without McCarthy winning a majority. He won on the 15th after making some concessions to right-wing members of the Republican party, including a concession that allowed one congressperson the power to bring forth a motion to vacate the Speaker.
