Rep. Steve Scalise announced that he is dropping his bid for House Speaker after a closed-door meeting with House Republicans. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"Scalise confirmed to reporters he was dropping his bid for speaker a day after his nomination.

"I just shared with my colleagues that I’m withdrawing my name as candidate for the speaker designee," he said. "Our conference still has to come together and is not there. There are still some people that have their own agendas. And it was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs."
