History was made on Tuesday when eight Republicans voted with House Democrats to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his role as House speaker, which he served for nine months. However, the motion to vacate and the support it garnered was foreshadowed throughout the California Republican's speakership.
By the 14th ballot, four lawmakers were still opposed to him, including Reps. Andy Biggs , Eli Crane , Bob Good , and Matt Rosendale . All six holdouts voted"present" on the 15th ballot. Between votes, there were several breaks, during which McCarthy and his allies negotiated with GOP defectors to gain their support.However, the support of various members or their willingness to vote"present" rather than against McCarthy came at a cost.
This would require a unified GOP conference to get measures passed in the House. Realizing their power in this dynamic, members of the conservative Freedom Caucus took opportunities throughout McCarthy's tenure to hold out on supporting bills that didn't address their priorities, such as cutting spending levels or dealing with the border crisis.
