And Then There Were Nine

As House Republicans gather (again) to choose a Speaker nominee, hosts Brendan Buck and Annalyse Keller discuss where things went wrong for Jim Jordan, run through the nine Speaker candidates, and explain why whoever emerges victorious will have a steep learning curve. Plus, Kevin McCarthy’s future and the outlook for President Biden’s supplemental budget request for Israel and Ukraine.
