In a first-of-its-kind move, Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted as the Speaker of the United States (US) House of Representatives. This followed internal turmoil in the grand old party and a power struggle between 58-year-old McCarthy and a group of far-right members. The vote to sack McCarthy was initiated by far-right Republican congressman and Florida representative Matt Gaetz.
