Anderson Cooper 360º: McCarthy flips 15 previous GOP holdout votes

January 7, 2023

Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy flipped 15 GOP holdout votes in his bid to be the next Speaker of the House. The California Republican says he’s confident even after losing 13 ballots over four days. Republican Rep. Dusty Johnson has voted for McCarthy all 13 times and tells Anderson Cooper how optimistic he is that McCarthy will get the votes.

Plus, sources tell CNN the suspect in the murders of four University of Idaho students thoroughly cleaned his car and was seen wearing surgical gloves multiple times outside his family home in Pennsylvania. Bryan Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Former FBI Special Agent and profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole joins AC360 to discuss if it’s unusual to have a suspect who appears to have no prior communication with the victims before committing the crime.
