for months trying to get something through on that. when it comes to big voting rights legislation, there s just not that type of momentum and there s not anyone on the republican side championing it to round up the support. shannon, thank you very much. as we talk about what s happening around the country with voting rights, the epicenter is texas. although there are dozens of states that have taken up similar bills. morgan chesky s on the ground for us in dallas. morgan, talk us through this here. for people who may not have been following every in and out of what happened over the weekend, perhaps they were enjoying a memorial day barbecue. where are we now? where does this fight go, particularly with the new threat from governor greg abbott to pull the plug on money that goes to lawmakers if they don t get on board? hallie, great question. we will no doubt see the debate over senate bill 7 rise again. the question is when?
house. where does this fight go from here? that s the big question, katy. what we have right now is an escalating standoff. the white house, as you say, releasing that letter to house speaker nancy pelosi last night, essentially saying, you need to hold a vote to officially open up an impeachment inquiry. now, what does the constitution say? the constitution says the house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment. so, nancy pelosi says, bottom line is, that s kay clocase clo. as you pointed out, she indicated that this type of action would be considered obstruction and could be impeachable in and of itself. i ve been talking to senior administration officials who say, look, they want to force a vote because they essentially want there to be terms by which they need to adhere to this process. now, president trump was asked what would happen if they did, in fact, hold a vote, would he, in fact, cooperate with demands by house democrats? the president didn t close the

then donald trump saying i want no part of this deal. we ve been waiting. we re about to hear from the president himself. he s capitol hill for this special ceremony. this is underway, honoring bob dole. he is getting the congressional gold medal. the president is set to address this crowd momentarily. this soldier, statesman and american hero has never stopped fight go for vulnerable people who have less power and less strength than he does. that, my friends, is the true measure of servant leadership. that is bob dole. bob more than deserves the honor we are conferring today. the way i see it, the greater honor is ours. to thank him on behalf of the country he has loved and served so faithfully for his truly
