House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is facing a critical vote on his future as Speaker of the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, with several Republicans siding with Rep. Matt Gaetz in his quest to topple the speaker. McCarthy is expected to bring up a no-confidence resolution from Gaetz in the afternoon, and the outcome of the vote will determine whether he remains in his position or is replaced by another Speaker. If McCarthy is removed, it will be the first time in nearly two decades that a Speaker of the House has been removed from office.
