"House in Chaos: McCarthy's Ouster Sparks Retribution and Uncertainty"
The ousting of Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker has sparked anger and retribution within the Republican party. McCarthy's allies threatened GOP Rep. Nancy Mace with a lack of fundraising support if she voted against him, but she ultimately joined others in sinking McCarthy. There are discussions about removing Mace from the moderate-leaning group, and some Republicans are considering expelling Rep. Matt Gaetz, the ringleader of the rebellion. The fallout has strained bipartisan relationships and prompted internal conversations about overhauling House rules. Republicans are now pushing to make it harder for a single member to call for a speaker removal vote.
