DealBook Summit features conversations with business and policy leaders at the heart of today’s biggest stories, recorded live during the annual DealBook Summit event in New York City.
Kevin McCarthy’s controversial tenure as Speaker of the House of Representatives came to an end earlier this fall when members of his own caucus led an effort to remove him from his post. Now the new Speaker, Mike Johnson, must find a way to bring a fractured House together and prevent the looming threat of a government shutdown.
The former Speaker detailed his time in leadership of the House of Representatives, the partisan politics behind his impeachment and the volatile state of modern Republicanism.
He also explained why, overall, he still believes Donald Trump would be a better president than Joe Biden.
