Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) made his first move as House speaker pro tempore by ordering former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday.

Pelosi was asked to leave the space in an email obtained by Politico sent to her office on Tuesday night. "Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,” wrote a top aide on the GOP-controlled House Administration Committee. The room is going to be reassigned by the acting speaker"for speaker office use," per the email.

"As Speaker, I gave former Speaker Hastert a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished," Pelosi said in a statement via Axios."Office space doesn't matter to me, but it seems to be important to them. Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let's hope they get to work on what's truly important for the American people.

The Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy included Gaetz and Reps. Tim Burchett , Ken Buck , Eli Crane , Bob Good , Matt Rosendale , Andy Biggs , and Nancy Mace . House Democrats held a heavy hand in the vote, with the party voting together as a conference to oust McCarthy. Several party members said ahead of the vote they weren’t interested in helping Republicans sort out their intraparty tensions, and they cited a deep mistrust of McCarthy as part of that decision.
