Kevin McCarthy out as House speaker
FOX News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest on the move on 'Your World.'
FIRST ON FOX: Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will not run again for House speaker, multiple sources told Fox News Digital following a narrow vote to remove him from the role on Tuesday.
Speaking with Fox News Digital after a GOP conference meeting following McCarthy's ouster, Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., described the now former speaker as "shell shocked" at the meeting and "down, as anyone would be."
Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., told Fox the plan was to have a candidate forum on Tuesday and a vote on who would succeed McCarthy on Wednesday.
