If Republicans Don't Solve Their Spat, Congress Can't Pass Laws

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio was opposed by twenty of his fellow Republicans in a vote before the full House today, leaving him far short of the support he needs to become Speaker of the House. He's called for another vote tomorrow. This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales. The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Elena Moore. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
