Ill have the Conference Pick somebody else. America wakes up without a Speaker Of The House. And plenty of questions about who could ultimately replace him. Good day to our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is wednesday, october 4. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington with congress in utter chaos this morning after the dramatic removal of Kevin Mccarthy as Speaker Of The House. Right now there is no clear replacement. No House Business is scheduled until at least tuesday. It is the first time in history that speaker has been ousted in the middle of a congressional term. An overwhelming majority ofs did actually vote to keep mccarthy in power, but it was still not enough to block the efforts of the republican hardliners who Wanted Mccarthy gone. On this vote, the yeas are 216. The nays are 210. The resolution is adopted. Without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
