McCarthy Ousted as House Speaker, But Investigations Into Biden to Continue Under New Leadership

McCarthy's removal as House Speaker unlikely to directly impact investigations into Biden family and impeachment inquiry against Biden. Committees can continue work.

Main House focus now on quickly selecting new permanent Speaker to replace McCarthy and Speaker Pro Temp McHenry.

House can still function under Speaker Pro Temp, with committees able to continue investigations and hearings.

McCarthy removed by narrow 216-210 vote, with 8 Republicans joining all Democrats to vacate Speaker position.

Plan was to have GOP candidate forum Tuesday, then vote Wednesday to decide McCarthy's successor as Speaker.
