McCarthy still short of votes, but deal chips away holdouts

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.
