Live Vote Count: House Decides Whether to Oust McCarthy as SpeakerLIVE Vote tally to remove McCarthy Answer Democrats Dem. Republicans Rep. Total Yes 0 0 0 No 0 0 0 Source: C-SPAN Note: House members can change their votes up to the end of the voting period. Late votes or changes may not be reflected until the House clerk publishes the full accounting of votes. Without support from the far-right members, given Republicans’ narrow majority, Mr. McCarthy will need some protective action from across the aisle if he is to retain his position. If enough Democrats vote in his favor, vote “present” (neither for nor against) or simply do not show up, the bar for a majority could be low enough for Mr. McCarthy’s supporters to clear it.

The effort failed when Democrats in the House and hard-right members of Mr. McCarthy’s own party, who had vowed not to back a stopgap spending bill under any circumstances, opposed the measure. Republicans Rep. Total Bar chart of total votes Yes 0 0 0 Needed to pass No 0 0 0 Note: See a breakdown of individual member votes below. Even if the House had passed the measure, which included vastly reduced stopgap funding for the government as well as severe immigration restrictions, it was exceedingly unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Wind-fueled wildfires that tore through the island of Maui in Hawaii on Tuesday and Wednesday have claimed at least 36 lives, forced the evacuation of thousands and decimated Lahaina, a historic tourist town. June 25 Aug. 9 Maxar TechnologiesTourists flock to Hawaii in large part for its tropical landscape and lush forests, but the state has also become increasingly vulnerable to wildfires. The area burned annually by wildfires in Hawaii has quadrupled in recent decades. Invasive grasses that are highly flammable have taken over native vegetation in some areas, and climate change has exacerbated dry and hot conditions that have allowed many wildfires to spread more quickly.
