15th vote ITS OVER. McCarthy elected as speaker with 216 votes. 6 R holdouts voted present, so McCarthy needed 215 votes.
Breaking: Mccarthy ousted as Speaker. 1st time in US history a Speaker has been ousted in a House vote..

The speakership is now vacant with no obvious successor. Conk Rep. Patrick McHenry took the gavel and, according to House rules, was named speaker pro tempore, to serve in the office until a new speaker is chosen.

What a shocker. How many ballots did it take to elect him, again?
