YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

House Republicans have a new nominee for speaker ten days after Kevin McCarthy was ousted and less than 24 hours after their last pick stepped aside. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan got enough votes in the behind-closed-doors meeting of the GOP conference, but it's unclear if he can get the 217 votes necessary to win on the House floor. Congressional Correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports from Capitol Hill.
