News Wrap: Pelosi calls McCarthy a ‘moron’ as House leaders trade barbs over mask rules

In our news wrap Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy traded barbs over the House's reimposed masking requirements. McCarthy called them a bid for "control," and Pelosi referred to him as a "moron." Cooler weather and some rainfall brought momentary relief to firefighters in the Western U.S. The Federal Reserve says the U.S. economy is still gaining strength.
