Uncertainty Looms as House Republicans Scramble to Replace McCarthy
  • 7 months ago
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy lost his position in a historic vote after Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz led a Republican rebellion against him. Although most Republicans still support McCarthy, it is uncertain who will be the new House speaker after he lost the vote, with Republicans planning a candidate forum and potentially voting again as soon as Wednesday. The House will temporarily halt, and Patrick McHenry is the interim speaker. The new speaker will face challenges in funding the government and working with Democrats, as well as potential threats from conservative members of their party.
