precedent, i told them i can speak for myself. i m open to looking at that and reforming it, but it has to apply to president trump and future presidents. reporter: do you think this is a fight that trump wants with the democrats? you re going to have to ask him. it s tough for me to read his mind. reporter: do you think the house should vote to override this even though the votes aren t there? yes, i think we should take an override vote. we ll do everything we can to marshal support for it. any time a president vetoes any piece of legislation, it s tough to do. this is worth the fight. thank you. all right. now i want to go to hans nickels who is standing by. there s casey right there. hold on, hans. casey is back with us. casey?
the president has ten days to uncork that veto pen and veto this. then we ll have votes in the senate and the house. we ll see whether or not republicans chip away or whether not that number stays at 59 opposed. two quick points. two of the most vulnerable republicans out there, senator thom tillis and corey gardener, they voted to stay with the president. earlier thom tillis looked like he was going to defy the president. he stayed with them. all three border state republicans voted with the president. ali. hans, thank you. let s get casey back into the conversation. i think she s with us. there you are, casey. apparently this is in real time. i think so. i m sorry for the eight second delay. all good. thank you for having me.
haven t seen before. you know, i think that s telling. joaquin castro was saying let s put this back on the floor now that they watched the senate vote on this and see what happens. the main concern about overriding a veto has been on the house side. republicans obviously, you know, democrats don t have a big enough majority to do it themselves. the republicans have really stood with the president. that could potentially be a critical test if they decide to go that way. thank you so much kasie and hans. also another story involving the white house. i m just born to do this. that s what beto o rourke said about jumping into the crowded 2020 race after serious speculation and a media focussed run off. at 6:00 a.m. the former senate candidate who lost his bid against ted cruz announced he s initially in. he began his three-day tour in
go ahead. ali, no problem. i was saying that was senator castro talking about i think ali what is going on is we re on a live delay. i m going to throw it back to you. we ll fix that and be back. it s a technical matter. i m going to talk to hans nicholss at the white house. hans, i believe the president has ten days to veto this. they signalled at the white house that s going to happen. it s clear the president is going to veto this. it s clear he doesn t want to make that big of a deal of it. make no mistake, ali, this is more than just a symbolic defeat for the president. this is 12 members of his own party, almost a fourth of senator republicans defying this president. let s call them the defiant dozen, questioning the president on one of his signature issues.
votes. they know democrats are nn t gog to get them that. they might lower that threshold again, making it so they have the ability to override any sort of democratic dissent. thank you for bringing it. come back again soon. i ll see you back for another hour of news, including news from florida. where former felons are advocating for their newly restored right to vote. hans nickels is in the sunshine state where they re looking to register a big portion of the newly eligible voters. we re going there later in the show. we re going erthe later in the show moving? that s harder now because of psoriatic arthritis. but you re still moved by moments like this. don t let psoriatic arthritis take them away. taltz reduces joint pain and stiffness and helps stop the progression of joint damage. for people with moderate to severe psoriasis, 90% saw significant improvement. taltz even gives you a chance at completely clear skin. don t use if you re allergic to taltz. before starting, you sho
