Episode description

It's been a day of chaos on Capitol Hill, and a tough day for Kevin McCarthy. After three consecutive ballots in a session that lasted over five-hours, 20 Republicans revolted meaning they could not elect a Speaker of the House. Plus, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta joins to discuss the latest health update on Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin after his cardiac arrest during Monday night’s game. And, court documents obtained by CNN show Rep-elect George Santos admitted to using stolen checks in Brazil in 2008.

Also tonight: the ‘Never Kevin’ camp is working on the phones in an effort to grow their opposition to McCarthy’s Speakership bid, and the Idaho student killings suspect waives extradition from Pennsylvania.

Hosted by Laura Coates.
