battle over everything from immigration policy to inflation. before it all happens, republicans will first have to elect a new speaker. kevin mccarthy is having big problems with his bid for the position. minutes ago he said he won t drop out, and even though the house could go to a second vote for the first time in a hundred years. wow. on the senate side, mitch mcconnell is poised to make history. before a very different reason. hello. this is outnumbered. happy new year. i m harris faulkner here with my cohost, and a leg up on you. also joining us today, kennedy, dr. janette nesheiwat, and bill hemmer. watch out! at least 14 members of kevin mccarthy s own political party say they have doubts of whether they are going to support him for speaker. five of those are firm nos at this point. with the g.o.p. holding the slimmest of majorities already in the house, kevin mccarthy can only afford to lose four votes. so he s already upside down right now. if he can t marsha ....
