This is the first time in American history! Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy was impeached on Tuesday in an unprecedented vote in Congress, plagued by fratricidal infighting within his party.

After a tense debate among conservatives in Hemicycle, 216 elected officials voted to fire him, including eight Republicans, 210. The unprecedented decision was immediate, and despite all the laughter, Kevin McCarthy was surrounded by his party members who hugged and shook him. His hand. Such a referendum has not been held in the United States in over a century, and no “Speaker” has ever been voted out of office.

Aid to Kiev is also at the center of the discussions

Earlier in the day, an elected official from the American hard-right, Matt Gaetz, introduced a motion to impeach the “Speaker”, even though he is a member of his party. He chiefly criticized Kevin McCarthy for negotiating a temporary budget with elected Democrats to fund the federal administration, which many conservatives opposed. He also accused the Republican administration of concluding a “secret deal” with President Joe Biden on a possible future package for Ukraine.

However, the Republican right-wing strongly opposes releasing additional funds to Kyiv, believing the money should be used to combat the migration crisis along the US-Mexico border.
