McCarthy is now negotiating committee assignments with input from a small but vocal far-right contingent. And he’s reeling from controversy surrounding a freshman member of the House, George Santos (R-N.Y.).

On top of all that, Democrats and Republicans are in a fight over the debt limit, with no easy path forward.

Reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell joins us to walk us through this chaotic Congress.
