Speaker Of The House: Kevin McCarthy
Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California was elected as the next Speaker of the House by the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 rounds of voting. Six out of the 20 holdouts, or "saboteurs," did not vote for McCarthy. There was also some drama on the House floor. On Friday night, Rep. Mike Rogers became agitated with Rep. Matt Gaetz's refusal to vote for McCarthy and had to be restrained after lunging at Gaetz.
