Politics News Roundup - December 8, 2023

As part of this week's politics roundup, we look ahead to the March 2024 Illinois State Primary. In 2022, the primary was held in June. What difference did the change make? And is this an experiment we might ever see repeated? Then, we head to Washington, DC where Congress saw the ouster of Rep. George Santos (R-New York) and former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-California) announce he'll leave congress at the end of the year. Could the chaos lead to a change of party leadership in the House of Representatives?
