Kevin McCarthy's Fear of Losing the Speakership Threatens to Widen the Gap That Keeps Us From Talking Across the Divide

Willie Nelson: Kevin McCarthy is motivated right now by fear, of losing the speakership. He's fearful of angering the Trump base because he wants to hold on to the speakership; this is not what Congress is supposed to be doing. Jen Wertheim: It threatens to widen this gap that keeps us from talking across the divide and I think this just makes it that much worse. She says a lot of Democrats in leadership and Democrats running the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and certainly the Biden campaign are betting on this.
