Republicans are divided post election, post Trump. The way that the midterms went suggested that they need to find another way forward. And so if you're talking about unity within the party, the Democrats are far more united because of Trump on the Republican side. But at least for the moment, they can sit back and watch the Republicans rip each other apart with positions that I think will be politically toxic.
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.
They run through some of the colorful personalities in the House Republican Conference, unpack how the Republican Party unraveled and discuss the opportunity for the Democrats to emerge as unified party. And, of course, they make predictions about Trump, Biden and more in 2024.
