i want to going back to michael shure, in las vegas. what's it like in the spin room. >> the spinners are coming in. jim webb came in with an interview with another network, got into position, the network was not ready and he left. he went down the half and that was the end of him in the spin room. it's pandemonium, and touching upon what ray was talking about. the general sentiment is that that was right. a lot of people were imagining what is joe biden doing. there isn't seem to be an avenue. he may put this off until after the benghazi hearings. >> let me break in here, so you do think that this was not necessarily a great night for joe biden. it's not a great night. there are a couple of ways of looking at it. if he wanted to run for president. this was not a good night. certainly saw the top two. most effective on stage. what hillary clinton was able to do, aside from answer questions. answer questions about emails, whether they'll fact check, and david shuster said it's not all that they have. she was able to be personal and ream,

michael shure joins us from capitol hill. michael this announcement that mccarthy is pulling out, a big surprise. what happened? >> reporter: randall you have no idea, inasmuch as a habit here there's pandemonium. the republican from pennsylvania walked out of the room here on the capitol, and he said to the gathered press, here, he said, hey, it's over, mccarthy dropped out. and that means that there is something of a delay, certainly in the way they are voting. other congressmen followed him out. mccarthy just stood up there, and said it very quietly. he said i'm out. i'm not going to stand for this anymore. >> so who is daniel webster? and who is backing him? >> reporter: to presume that daniel webster catapults to the front of the pack is probably premature. he has been backed by the freedom caucus. he got 12 votes himself when the vote were held in january. of course boehner won, but webster came in second. presumably they are going to find a candidate who unifies the party, that in my estimation will likely not be danie

michael shure is in washington. let's start with you david - i want to underscore the fact that hillary clinton was on the record as supporting the ttp, it had something to do with testing the winds and realising that the solid. >> the support of d.p.p. was not once or scras. twice. -- once or twice. 45 different times she spoke out. now she is trailling bernie sanders to the left of her, in iowa and new hampshire. hillary clinton feels the need to tack to the left. given the pressure she was facing from labour groups, she decided now is the time to move. bernie sanders is more pro-labour, and a lot of people are wondering whether joe biden gets into the race. he's a member of the labour movement. you can count on labour holding back support, giving joe biden is are a chance to prove where he staned. >> michael shure, you are in a place we might not have bet would be exciting. we thought a routine thing was going to happen. kevin mccarthy was going to replace john boehner as house speaker. all of a sudden a bombshel

michael shure joins us live from capitol hill. who is daniel webster and which republicans are backing him this morning? >> reporter: daniel webster is a representative from florida. he is the only person who has been a speaker of the house right now that was running for this, because he was the speaker of the florida house of representatives. he has already gotten votes in this type of election before. he came in second among republicans when these elections were held in january. what he wants to do is very different. i don't think he thinks he is going to be the next speaker of the house, but he can help prevent the freedom -- he can go into the freedom caucus and help prevent the whole house caucus from electing their guy, and that is kevin mccarthy. they came out and roughly 40 of them said, he is our man. and they are a very far-right conservative caucus. >> but you said he doesn't believe he could actually get the position. so how does this end at the end of the day? who becomes speaker? what kind of votes do they need? and

clinton told the crowd to say no to donald trump >>> al jazeera's political correspondent michael shure is in the heart of las vegas. we see plenty of debating, this is the first time we see the democrats on stage, who has the most to win and the most to lose? >> well, i mean, the easy answer is that hillary clinton has the most to gain and lose. in a weird way bernie sanders may have the most to lose. this is the first chance that people who do not like hillary clinton have to see other candidates, candidates like senator jim web. you have a former senator and governor, and on stage you have former governor of maryland, martin o'mallee, it's a way to sell them. the vote is going to bernie sanders, has a chance to be split up. in a strange way bernie sanders has something to lose tomorrow. >> no biden on the stage unless there's a last appearance, which many democrats, i think, wants. >> what do you expect the key issues will be that the candidates will focus on tomorrow. >> well, you made mention. fact that unions were in play. ironically across the street from where the debate will be

. >> let's bring in our aljazeera reporter, michael shure, and can you describe for me please the level of dysfunction today represents for the gop caucus and beyond? >> well, tony, there are a few ways of coming at that question, and one of them, there's a segment of the republican party, the freedom caucus, they call themselves, 30-4 members, very conservative, who say this is about as functional as the party gets. and it did function. they were able to get somebody who would not get the full support of their caucus out of the race for speak, but when you look at it from afar, and look at the republican caucus and the members of that party, they're unable to come together and find consensus yet on any member to become speaker of the house, it represents dysfunction in washington and when you look at it from afar, it speaks to the dysfunction of the party as well. >> i suppose that we should play this gay marriage, and we always do in these cases, so who's in the running for the job moving forward. >> well, you know, first of all tony, anybody can be speak, so if we start in the house

michael shure has more from las vegas. >> reporter: it's tough to leave las vegas as a winner, but by all accounts hillary clinton did just that at the debate last night. rather than being on the defensive, hillary clinton came out on offense, and spent a good deal of time trying to assure democratic voters that she was one of them, and that she was progressive. >> i'm a progressive, but i'm a progressive who likes to get things done -- [ cheers and applause ] >> -- and i know how to find common ground and how to stand my ground, and i have proved that in every position i have had, even dealing with republicans who never had a good word to say about me, honestly. >> reporter: guns were on the agenda this time, and hillary clinton took that issue to senator bernie sanders. >> bernie sanders has a d-minus voting record for the nra. and when i first ran for congress, i told the gun owners of the state of vermont and i told the people of the state of vermont, a state which has virtually no gun control, that i supported a ban on assault weapons. >> is bernie sanders tough enough on guns? >
