decided to postpone tomorrow s proceedings. we re praying for all those in the path. we start tonight with a major political battle taking place across the country. as of today, we are just six weeks out from this year s midterms. despite economical and historical trends that should favor republicans, this election is shaping up to be closer than anyone expected, thanks in part to republican extremism to states across the country. from roe v. wade to state abortion bans to election denial to political stunts to silence asylum seekers, the republicans are executing on april radical agenda. red state governors like texas greg abbott and florida s ron desantis. men pushing the extremism while they raise their own political profiles and jockey to raise trump s mantles as leaders for presidential hopefuls. on the other side of that fight are a handful of democratic governors, the people leading the charge against ready cal republican policies. chief among them is california gov
committee meeting. senate majority leaders and minority leaders don t sit on committees. that s why you only see them speaking on the floor the senate. on rare occasions if a senator feels strongly on the bill he will show up personally on the bill to show support. what made today a double rarity, the bill that mitch mcconnell schlepp down to that committee room to support is a bill that was the brainchild of democrats. this bill aims to prevent further elections to subvert presidential election results. basically to make it harder to try the stunt that donald trump tried to pull off on january 6. when pence certified the vote, trump pushed the theory that vice president mike pence as the presiding officer that day could then reject the biden electors and essentially hand the election to trump which are pence refused to do, rightfully.
