McCarthy still short of votes to become speaker, but emerging deal chips away at holdouts

After four days and 13 rounds of voting, the House made some progress Friday but has still failed to elect a speaker. More than a dozen Republicans switched their votes to support Congressman Kevin McCarthy, but a handful of hard-right members refuse to back down. As Lisa Desjardins reports, McCarthy is hopeful he will soon be able to convince some of those holdouts to back his bid for speaker.
