Our democracy two years after Jan. 6

California Rep. Kevin McCarthy lost a stunning 11 rounds of voting for the House speaker position this week, and there’s no end to the standoff in sight. Of course all of this has been unfolding in the lead up to the 2nd anniversary of Jan. 6 insurrection. Plus, California’s stormy winter. And, Pope Benedict is laid to rest. Guests: Axios' Margaret Talev, Andrew Freedman and Princeton University's Julian Zelizer.
