WATCH LIVE: House of Representatives convenes after Gaetz files motion to unseat Speaker McCarthy
On the 3rd, the U.S. House of Representatives (435 seats, 2 vacancies) passed a motion to remove Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy by a majority vote. This is the first time in history that a motion to remove the Speaker of the US House of Representatives has been passed. The conflict between Republican Party leaders and hard-line conservatives has resulted in chaos in Congress, and there are concerns that it will affect aid to Ukraine and budget deliberations.
At a press conference after the vote, Mr. McCarthy said, ''I am no longer a candidate,'' making it clear that he would not run in the presidential election expected to be held on the 11th.
On September 30th, Mr. McCarthy cooperated with the Democratic Party in passing a temporary budget to avoid a partial government shutdown, which was strongly opposed by hard-line Republican conservatives. The motion was introduced on the 2nd by hardline conservative Rep. Matt Gaetz.
