It’s official: Kevin McCarthy is no longer the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States, making this unprecedented event the first of its kind in American history.And as of today, Republican North Carolina State Representative Patrick McHenry assumes the role of House Speaker.

What was the reasoning behind removing McCarthy as speaker?

After threatening to remove the gavel from the California Republican last week as a government shutdown approached, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz took action Monday night to compel a vote on a resolution to dismiss the office of the speaker.
