A new Congress will convene tomorrow. Republicans will choose a new House speaker as Democrats undergo a generational leadership change. WTO's Mitchell Miller is on Capitol Hill. House majority leader steny Hoyer, the longtime lawmaker from Maryland, is among those stepping aside for a new democratic leadership team. While the Democrats have had a smooth transition, there's still a rocky road for Republican Kevin McCarthy to become House speaker. Well, McCarthy is still working on getting enough votes, Hoyer believes that will happen. My expectation he'll be speaker. Oh, you're speaking in an interview on CNN's State of the Union, was asked if he thinks McCarthy has what it takes to do the job.

I've never been more optimistic about America and my whole career. We're the most unique country in the world. We're a product of a possibility. But that positive outlook will be tested when he returns to Washington and a now divided Congress.
