	Description:		It’s a new year but the incoming Congress hasn’t really been able to start work yet. With a slim House majority, California Republican Kevin McCarthy has faced failed vote after failed vote to try and become speaker of the House without success. This is the first time a bid for speaker has failed multiple times in more than a century. Is McCarthy conceding too much power? And how long will this dysfunction roadblock the Republican-controlled House? Meanwhile, President Biden and Senator Mitch McConnell came together to celebrate the building of a bridge between Kentucky and Ohio as part of last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill. Is this more political theater? Plus, this week marked the two-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection on the Capitol. And football is under scrutiny again after Buffalo Bill’s Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field.
