Maria Elvira Salazar: Within 24 hours, Kevin McCarthy will be House speaker
Florida Rep-elect Maria Elvira Salazar presents a new angle in the debate over whether Kevin McCarthy should be House speaker on 'Your World.'
Florida Rep-elect Maria Elvira Salazar made a bold prediction about Kevin McCarthy's bid to become House speaker Thursday on "Your World."

And that's what I am doing right now.
