On this Wednesday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recaps the chaos that was the running for Speaker of the House yesterday on Capitol Hill. For the third time now, Kevin McCarthy has failed to gather enough votes to clinch the role of Speaker, and now hats from both parties are being tossed into the ring as Congress stands dormant. Names like Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, and even Democrat Hakeem Jeffries are other names being considered as the House tries to sort this mess out, so they can dive into more pressing business. In other news of the day, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is still in the ICU fighting as he and his family receive a flood of prayers from around the sports world, Assemblyman Lester Chang is sworn into his seat with the inevitability of a Democrat attempt to unseat him hanging over his head, Congressman-elect George Santos makes his way-too-awkward debut on Capitol Hill, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is sworn in for his second term, and Sid's chat with Mayor Adams makes big news around New York City. Brian Kilmeade, Joseph Abboud, Peter King, Phil Simms and Eboni K. Williams join the program, and as always make sure you don't miss out on the Wednesday installment of Lidia Reports with Lidia Curanaj and the "Witchy Wednesday" version of The Peerless Boilers Sid's Take Contest.
