The U.S. House of Representatives was leaderless on Wednesday, after hardline Republicans narrowly won a vote to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, an historic move that triggered what will be a lengthy and likely messy battle to find a replacement.
It was the first time that the House has removed a speaker - a position that is second in line to the president after the vice president.
"We're in uncharted waters," Republican Representative Byron Donalds told reporters after supporting McCarthy in a vote the speaker lost 216-210. "I don't envy anyone this job," Republican Representative Mike Garcia said. He described the rule change as "like handing 220 matches out to people in your party and dousing yourself in fuel and hoping none of them are crazy."Republican Representative Dusty Johnson, asked about the prospect of picking a new speaker, told reporters: “Frankly, one has to wonder whether or not the House is governable at all.
The entire House - Republicans and Democrats - vote for the chamber's speaker who normally holds the position for two years or until the end of the current Congress in early January 2025. Jeffries is expected to run against any Republican candidate nominated by the party conference, as he did in January.
