It’s confirmed. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), booted as the Speaker of the House of Representatives today, will not run again for his former office. The gavel will be passed onto someone who can obtain 218 votes at some point within the next few days without going multiple rounds with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his posse.

“Liz Cheney is sooooo happy! She has been calling for his ouster. 8 pukes did her bidding 😃”
________
Wow, Liz Cheney and America First Republicans have something in common? That’s weird. Let me guess, he lied to her too?
“So what role does McCarthy now play in the HOR, if any?
Does this mean he’s out of government and on his way home?”
No; he remains a Congressman for his district.
That money is long gone on Ron.
Anyone who wants Jeffries-
I’m here.
I did note that folks posting Gaetz had neither the gumption or votes to do it have crawled back under their rocks to undoubtedly grace us with more epic fail predictions later.
This is Matt Gaetz’ statement listing the reasons for removing McCarthy from the position of SOTH

Over 200 wanted to keep things the way they are.
Never ending CR’s and Omnibus Bills.
No budgets, no Limit on Debt Limits
Return to Regular Order.
Didn’t that person vote to impeach Trump?
Yes and they still do. Confirming for all to see.
My District REP. Bravo to Burchett
Great friend! Things don’t go exactly as he & his 7 comrades want…..cozy up to Liz Cheney & Nancy Pelosi! Loser 🤬
Yep 1 Week. Gives Lobbyist time to twist arms and pass money around.
>> Don’t rule McCarthy re-emerging from the ashes, again.
So does that mean it’ll take a total of 30 votes before he can regain the leadership position. Truly historical — lol
The uni-party does things out in the open without worry of repercussions already, so if there was an unfortunate accident, it wouldn’t shock me.
She voted no on impeachment.
She said J6 ruined his legacy.
Worked for his campaign in 2016
Will support if he’s nominee.
Voted yes to vacate speaker Mc Carthy.
Isn’t the Speaker in charge of the Capitol jail? He could have fired the warden and at least provided the J6ers with better conditions.
You didn’t spend enough time with Burchett. His timeline is impressive. I am glad to see someone with principles serving in Congress.
How like a drive through commenter to despise a man who sees his responsibility and knowingly risks his job to do the right thing for the American people.
McCarthy is the assistant ‘Rat.
On such an enormous high stake level, having no follow-up plan and just betting on pure luck - like playing the lottery, is to me pretty insane. There is a reason for sacking the speaker out of the house has never been done in the entire history of America. There are other ways to do politics.
Also I don’t like the look of this either. Democrats helping Gaetz to oust our own leader in the House... Jesus Christ!
The Pandoras Box is now wide open, and I don’t think that Gates knows what he got himself into.
But! If the secret plan was to replace McCarthy with Trump as the new speaker of the House, then this whole thing was a pure master play, and I can only approve!
Agreed. I knew nothing about him until today but this statement and other postings he has made really impressed me. Your district & America are served well by his diligence, honesty and honor.
Call out evil where you see it and make the world a better place. I don’t get your high stakes at all. McCarthy was a snake, gave everything away to the left, made secret deals...Why would you need a plan before showing him the door? It’s not a coup.
Other than being weak & duplicitous what did McCarthy bring to the table? Another speaker may be better, unlikely to be worse and the fear of consequences may keep the next speaker focused.
Pandora’s box was opened long ago. That is the point, evil is loose, dominating Congress and the Government. McCarthy enabled the evil forces. The first step in combatting evil is naming it and demanding a better way.
