After a full day of voting, the House of Representatives has not elected a new speaker. Kevin McCarthy has not been able to lock in enough votes to gain the title. Audrey and Harvest joined Dispatch Live to talk about what happened in the halls of Congress and what we can all expect in the next few days. Then, Sarah and Jonah offer their thoughts on the day’s proceedings. Would they vote for Kevin McCarthy for speaker? And what’s the deal with Chip Roy? Plus, a few words on David’s (quasi) departure from The Dispatch.
