Independent coverage translates to more cameras in the House chamber which translates to more scenes, such as the moment a physical altercation nearly occurred on the floor last week, being captured and broadcast in real-time to the public.
C-SPAN isn’t packing up its cameras quietly. The public affairs network on Tuesday sent a letter to new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy asking for permission to operate its own independent cameras in the House chamber. “Allow C-SPAN to cover House floor proceedings on behalf of our network and all Congressionally-accredited news organizations,” co-chief executive Susan Swain wrote McCarthy.

But other members of Congress have expressed openness or outright support for letting C-SPAN cameras into the chamber. When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday evening about the matter, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise replied, “I think that’d be great. I think it’s great that the public’s going to be able to see more about the way the government works.” Republican Rep.
