Hillary Clinton on the Dangers of Dysfunction to American Democracy - Amanpour and Company



War between Israel and Hamas is ramping up the pressure on the House to elect a new Speaker. Congressional leadership is still in a state of paralysis, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise no longer in the race. Attention is now turning towards Ohio Republican Jim Jordan, who lost the nomination vote to Scalise earlier in the week. But Jordan is also lacking unified Republican support. How and when does this end?

Shortly after Kevin McCarthy's historic ouster last week, Christiane spoke with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the dangers of dysfunction to American democracy. Originally aired on October 13, 2023.
