Washington Journal: Open Phones
Viewers commented on the removal of Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House, the first ouster of a speaker in the chamber’s history. The previous day, eight Republicans and all Democrats voted to remove him from his leadership post. His critics said he did not keep promises made to them when he campaigned for the position, and his supporters said the move throws the House into uncertainty, especially with a November 17 government funding deadline approaching.
