In this episode of Deep Dive, Playbook co-author Rachael Bade joins
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Chief Deputy Whip Guy
Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) just hours before final passage of the debt
ceiling bill they shepherded through the House.

This is the behind the scenes story from inside the Republican whip's
office of how Kevin McCarthy's leadership team convinced House
Republicans to raise the debt ceiling for two years and embrace his
agreement with Joe Biden, which many on the right decried as a betrayal
of the base. It's a story of how Emmer and Reschenthaler pulled together
a divided and fractious conference, dodging a ballooning effort to oust
McCarthy from the gavel, and ultimately putting the ball back in the
Democrats' court.
