Senator Joseph McCarthy lost his power in 1954 largely due to his aggressive tactics during televised hearings investigating alleged communist influence in the U.S. military. The turning point came during the Army-McCarthy hearings, where his bullying style and unfounded accusations were exposed to the public, leading to widespread disapproval. Additionally, his actions alienated many within the Senate, culminating in a formal censure by his colleagues later that year, effectively diminishing his influence and reputation.
