5 min ago JUST IN: House ousts Kevin McCarthy as speaker From CNN’s Clare Foran, Melanie Zanona, Haley Talbot and Kristin Wilson

The US House of Representatives has voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy in a historic vote on Tuesday.

The House will now need to elect a new speaker, but there is no clear alternative who would have the support needed to win the gavel.

No House speaker has ever before been ousted through the passage of a resolution to remove them.
