   What we're covering here   
      
   Kevin McCarthy will not run for speaker again after the House ousted him   
   from the top leadership post in a historic vote on Tuesday. The tally was   
   216 to 210 with eight Republicans siding with Democrats to remove him from   
   the speakership.   
      
   The House will now need to elect a new speaker. There is no clear   
   alternative to McCarthy – but the race for a potential successor is   
   already underway with a vote expected next week.   
      
   The White House called on the GOP to elect a new speaker quickly In the   
   meantime, Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina is the interim speaker.   
      
   The fight over the speakership marks a major escalation in tensions for a   
   GOP conference that has been mired in infighting — and it comes just days   
   after McCarthy engineered a last-minute bipartisan effort to avert a   
   government shutdown.
