While the Democrats have had a smooth transition, there's still a rocky road for Republican Kevin McCarthy to become House speaker. While McCarthy is still working on getting enough votes, Hoyer believes that will happen. My expectation will be speaker. Hoyer 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.

Happy new year, mister president. After several days soaking up the Saint Croix's son, getting in a round of golf and sampling local cuisine, President Biden says he's feeling bullish on 2023. 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.
