History happened today in the House of Representatives as eight Republican representatives joined all Democratic representatives in voting to remove Kevin McCarthy from his role as House speaker.

Of those eight Republican representatives who voted to remove McCarthy, two were from Arizona: Representative Andy Biggs (District 5) and Representative Eli Crane (District 2). Three other state Republican representatives of the Freedom Caucus joined Juan Ciscomani (District 6) in voting to keep McCarthy as House speaker: Paul Gosar (District 9), David Schweikert (District 1) and Debbie Lesko (District 8).

“This is something else,” Lesko said. “This place is crazy.” Lesko has seen a lot in her five and a half years at the Capitol, including two impeachments of Donald Trump and 15 rounds of voting to name Kevin McCarthy House Speaker. But today’s vote to remove McCarthy left her in a daze.
