Should Democrats Save Kevin McCarthy?

Congress avoids a government shutdown after Kevin McCarthy caves
to Democrats at the last possible minute—and now Matt Gaetz is
trying to strip McCarthy of the speakership as a result. Will
Democrats bail McCarthy out? Donald Trump begins his fraud trial
with the unique legal strategy of threatening the judge, Joe
Biden frames the 2024 election as extremism vs. democracy, and
Gavin Newsom appoints Laphonza Butler as California's newest
Senator. Later, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila
Jayapal joins the show to talk about House Democrats' strategy as
the Speaker drama unfolds.
