2:17Now PlayingNY Post Executive Editorial Page Director Mark Cunningham breaks down why ousting Kevin McCarthy is not what Republicans need.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy lost his position as speaker of the House Tuesday after a historic vote to oust him from the powerful position.
The resolution to strip McCarthy (R-Calif.) of the gavel, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), passed 216-210 — with Gaetz and seven other Republicans joining 208 Democrats in voting to remove the California Republican from the speakership.
The lower chamber is now tasked with electing a new speaker before it can move forward with any other business.
While McCarthy is now the first House speaker to ever be stripped of his power, the process for selecting a new leader of the lower chamber will be reminiscent of the four-day, 15-ballot election in January that resulted in McCarthy’s elevation.
