During the vote to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Democrats remained united in their opposition to the California Republican. Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) joins Andrea Mitchell to weigh in on why Democrats chose not to save McCarthy as a new fight for the gavel unfolds. “If I’m Speaker of the House, and I just depended on Democrats to pass a bipartisan bill for the good of the country, then I wouldn’t turn around the next day and try to blame Democrats for the situation that he was in,” Slotkin says. “If you want us, if you need our help to pass a bill, let’s talk about it and have a conversation. But then don’t turn around and slap the people who just helped to pass legislation.”
