During an interview that aired on Friday’s CBS Evening News, chief White House correspondent Major Garrett spoke with Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio and wondered aloud if the situation in the House of Representatives concerning the search for the next Speaker of the House signaled the “important historical meltdown of the Republican Party.”

After asking Rubio about Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal, Garrett turned the focus of attention to “the future of the Republican Party with the speakership of John Boehner in shambles and succession uncertain.”
