at long last, kevin mccarthy is the new republican speaker of the house. but to say it didn t come easy, would be a massive understatement. mccarthy scratch out a victory in the early morning hours with just barely more than the absolute minimum support he needed. it took him 15 rounds of voting to get to the finish line. including a scuffle on the house floor on the anniversary of the january six insurrection. the contrast between the two parties has never been clearer. while republicans created new chaos at the capitol, president biden honored the men and women who protected the building and his its occupants from an angry mob just two years ago. and, while gop lawmakers bigger with one another, democratic representatives rallied around their leader, akeem jeffries. while the white house has confirmed that president biden reached out to congratulate mccarthy earlier today, the 118th congress is off to an unforgettable start. we are talking about what comes next, tonight, on
