The House of Representatives is entering a third week with no full-time speaker. The Republican majority is meeting Monday night and speaker nominee Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio will look to sway dozens of colleagues who just voted against him last week. Congressional Correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports from the Capitol.

The party with the majority cannot pick a speaker.

The party with the majority would rather fight among themselves than actually do their job.

The sad part is this will not change the voting habits for the vast majority of people who voted for this party at the last election.

Why do the sitting members do this? Because they know they can and they will still be re-elected.

They're so hellbent on fighting that they just fight themselves when there's no Democrat to fight.
