Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) was instructed by Acting House Speaker Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) to vacate a hideaway office in the Capitol on Wednesday.
Jake Sherman, the founder of Punchbowl News wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that House Republican leadership had “kicked” Hoyer out of his office. This came hours after the House had voted 216-210 to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as Speaker of the House. McCarthy later said he would not run again for Speaker of the House.
“Republicans – McCarthy – are taking revenge for Democrats voting with” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in order to “boot” McCarthy “from the speakership.”
