When the gavel finally came down, making the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House official, cable news had a new historic moment on their hands. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) followed through on his threat to move to vacate McCarthy, and after a failure to table the motion, the votes came down to a narrow margin: 216 in favor of ousting McCarthy, 210 against.
