US Speaker, Kevin Mc Carthy, Ousted As House Speaker In Historic Vote
Kevin Mc Carthy ousted as House Speaker in historic vote.
The 216-to-210 vote marked the first time in history that the House removed its leader, with eight Republicans voting with 208 Democrats to remove McCarthy.
The Republicans control the lower chamber of Congress but with a very narrow majority.
So when eight rebels joined the Democrats on Tuesday night his fate was sealed in a 216-210 final vote.
It is the first time a House Speaker, one of the top jobs in US politics, has been removed in this way.
