| 0:22.2 | Trump's pick, Jim Jordan, not getting the support of the Republican conference. Steve |
| 0:27.5 | Scalice getting the support of the Republican conference and now raising the questions of where |
| 0:33.0 | do Republicans go from here? Another loss for Donald Trump, again, this incredible contrast |
| 0:39.2 | where he controls the vast majority of the Republican primary, but seems increasingly |
