Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from January to October 2023
Kevin McCarthy was a U.S. Representative from California who served as Speaker of the House for nine months in 2023, making him one of the shortest-serving speakers in American history. His brief tenure mattered because it highlighted deep divisions within the Republican Party and the challenges of maintaining party unity in a closely divided Congress.
