History made as US House of Representatives removes Speaker

Lawmakers in the United States have narrowly voted to remove Kevin McCarthy as House of Representatives Speaker — the first time that's ever happened in American history. 


Congressman Matt Gaetz, a far-right Republican politician, led the charge to oust the man who was, until now, the second-in-line of succession for the US Presidency. 


Benji Hyer has the latest.

BACK ANNO (if no election yet): "A temporary replacement, appointed by McCarthy will take charge, until elections are held in the chamber to replace him. He could run for the position again."
