Extra Time: Who could be the next House Speaker, suspected fentanyl pill mill raided
In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we cover the disorder in the House of Representatives, a suspected fentanyl pill mill that was raided in the Bronx and an update on the AccuWeather forecast.
The House of Representatives is in a virtual state of paralysis following the historic ouster of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.
Everything, including another potential government shutdown, takes a backseat to the power struggle in the Republican party, a struggle that is only beginning.
ABC's Ike Ejiochi joins the show from Washington D.C., while political analyst Hank Sheinkopf breaks down the latest developments.
Here are the other major headlines from Thursday's show:

The NYPD, New York State Police, Homeland Security and DEA agents were all on the scene executing the search warrant. Sources say they are seizing pill presses along with product. At least four suspects have been brought out of that home in handcuffs.
