13:07Now PlayingA funny thing happened on the way to Kevin McCarthy’s coronation as Speaker of the House. That funny thing is that McCarthy started moving all his stuff into the Speaker’s offices before he actually won the votes necessary to become Speaker, and now it’s looking dubious whether he’ll be able to. That’s because of roughly 20 members of the GOP caucus who refuse to vote for McCarthy – even after SIX rounds of voting. Meanwhile, McCarthy is doing everything he can – and offering everything he has – to the recalcitrant members to get them on board. Huh, turns out politicians CAN use their leverage when they want to!
Guest host Aaron Maté and Jimmy discuss this rare example of actual democracy at work, messy as it is, as Republicans try to settle on a Speaker for the next two years.
