The US House of Representatives ousted its speaker Kevin McCarthy for the first time in history on Monday. Eight Republicans voted to remove McCarthy after they were frustrated with him negotiating with US President Joe Biden to find a solution to avert a government shutdown. McCarthy was ousted by a vote of 216-210.
