In this edition of 'The Countdown,' the drama surrounding the House speaker stretched to a fourth day, but could it come to a close soon?
Republican leader Kevin McCarthy flipped 15 colleagues to supporters in dramatic votes for House speaker on Friday, making extraordinary gains on the fourth day and the 12th and 13th ballots of a historic standoff that has tested American democracy and the GOP majority's ability to govern. The switched votes from conservative holdouts, including the chairman of the chamber's Freedom Caucus, put McCarthy closer to seizing the gavel for the new Congress - but not yet able. Republicans voted to adjourn until 10 p.m. to try again.A brutal attack was caught on video as a 16-year-old was stabbed multiple times at a school in Yonkers on Friday morning. The teen was stabbed three times, in the torso and extremities, at Yonkers Middle High School on Rockland Avenue.
