Patrick mchenry, a republican representative from North Carolina has taken the gavel, he topped a confidential list of interim leaders named by Kevin Mccarthy when he got the job. Until mccarthys replacement is elected, no progress can be made on a long term Spending Bill to keep the government Open Past Mid November or a new aid package for ukraine. Catie edmondson is a congressional reporter with the new york times. She told us why a leaderless house could mean more chaos in the weeks to come.
