It's Speaker McCarthy, FINALLY!

Good morning, today on The Meter, we will cover Speaker Kevin McCarthy! After 3 days and 15 ballots, McCarthy went over-the-top by a single vote as 6 Republicans voted present instead of for another candidate. This reduced the magic number needed and McCarty became the newly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. Now, the people's work can resume with the swearing in of the 118th Congess. This process was the longest since the 34th Congress in 1855. Democrats and their media allies relished the moment as McCarthy struggled to convince his fellow Republicans he's the one for the job. Hakim Jeffries of New York is the new Democrat leader. What does this mean for Republicans moving forward? Also, January 6th marked 2 years since the Capital protests that left an unarmed American war veteran dead from an intentional gunshot wound. Ashli Bobbit was remembered by Trump supporters who attended, what seems to now be an annual event in Washington, DC. Democrats also visited to continue to call the event an insurrection. Joe Biden and top Democrats were also present to "honor" law enforcement from the day. Donald Trump has announced his 3rd bid for the Presidency in light of other rising stars in the Party and Republican underperformance in the midterms. How will all of this affect the 2024 elections? Finally, Joe Biden will visit the border on the cusp of his upcoming trip to Mexico City. The border went from secure to chaotic under the Biden administration's open borders policy. The claim is asylum by the burdensome realities are crippling American border communities. What does Biden's trip signify? Please join the discussion at 10AM. The call-in number is 347-308-8933.
