House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) withdrew from the race for House speaker, casting new doubt about the party’s ability to coalesce around one person for the job. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) joins Andrea Mitchell to share his thoughts on what he is looking for from the next speaker. “I was a supporter of Kevin McCarthy. I think that he had an understanding of my district,” D’Esposito says. “That’s what I'm looking for in a candidate: someone who understands — even if they have conservative values — as long as they understand what New York needs.”
