About this episode

After weeks of party infighting, Rep. Mike Johnson was voted the new House speaker. The Louisiana Republican secured the speaker’s gavel without losing any GOP votes. Johnson has been a supporter of former President Trump and was a key congressional figure in the failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash joins AC360 to discuss where Speaker Johnson stands on some important issues. Plus, the main United Nations agency working in Gaza says vital fuel supplies are on the verge of running out.
