Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) needed to be bodily restrained after lunging at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Friday night after the latter denied Kevin McCarthy the speakership on the 14th ballot.

McCarthy would go on to win the gavel within the next round.

With one vote to decide McCarthy’s destiny, Gaetz might not deliver himself to vote for the GOP leader after having spent all of two months campaigning for any person else to guide the 118th Congress.

Gaetz left the room when his title was once known as the primary time around, and when he had an opportunity to vote for McCarthy when his name was referred to as once more, he shouted, “Existing!”

The vote denied the California Republican the gavel and the GOP aspect of the House floor devolved into chaos. McCarthy charged up an aisle where he confronted Gaetz. The two exchanged phrases for a few moments before McCarthy walked away.

As the now-speaker went again to his seat, Rogers confronted Gaetz. The Alabama Republican was visibly indignant and lunged toward the Florida Republican. He used to be restrained through Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) and in the end walked away.

CNN had some shut u.s.a.on the motion.

A movement to adjourn failed and McCarthy ultimately gained within the fifteenth spherical lower than an hour later.
