Rep. 's ouster as House speaker by rebel members of his own conference on Tuesday marks the end of a rollercoaster nine-month leadership tenure for the Republican.
McCarthy's arch-nemesis, Rep. , led a faction of eight hardliner Republicans who, furious at his compromises to avert a government shutdown, joined with 208 in voting to remove him.
