House Majority Leader Steve Scalice and Republican Rep. Jim Jordan have said they’ll run for speaker of the House after Rep. Kevin McCarthy was voted out and announced he won’t run again. There have been calls from some Republicans to expel GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz from the conference after he led the effort to oust the former House speaker. Republican Rep. Dusty Johnson is a McCarthy supporter and voted to keep him as Speaker. He joins AC360 to discuss the two candidates for the position and says the GOP conference needs to do a "better job of putting them in a position to win" than they did with McCarthy. Plus, the suspect in the killing of Tupac Shakur made his first court appearance since being arrested near Las Vegas last week. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson tells Anderson Cooper his team wanted to make sure they "got it right" since the case has gotten so much attention.
