House of Representatives Votes to Oust McCarthy as Speaker, Prompting Mixed Reactions from Representatives

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to oust Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his position as Speaker of the House, triggered by a motion from Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and supported by seven other Republicans and 208 House Democrats. Representatives Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) had differing opinions on the ouster, while Representative Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) suggested that the House Democrats should have provided McCarthy with votes to keep the Speakership, contrary to conventional wisdom.
