Congressman Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican and majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, is the frontrunner to succeed Eric Cantor as the majority leader in an election set for today.

We’ll also discuss issues like immigration reform and the state’s high-speed rail project, which McCarthy staunchly opposes.
