Ron DeSantis has a lot of support within the Republican party, but he's not yet put into the test. I do think you're going to see a lot of people trying to position themselves as the non Trump Republicans who sport Trump policies. You'll see Mike Pence being part of that.

The dust from last week’s once-in-a-century, marathon voting session in the House has settled, and Kevin McCarthy is finally Speaker of the House — for now. But what’s next? We talk to Manu Raju, CNN’s Chief Congressional Correspondent, and Charlie Sykes, a former conservative talk radio host and a founder of The Bulwark, to make sense of it all.
