back. are there any developments between those two? it seems like at this point they want to say let buy gones be by gones. they have moved on. they have had a working relationship. they re both going to be serving on the house armed services committee with mike rogers serving as the chairman and i think congressman gaetz was jockeying for a position leading a subcommittee on that panel. it seems like they are ready to move on and work together. tomorrow, they are going to have to start voting on that house rules package. for folks at home, that might seem mundane and boring, but that has really important implications for policy and that, of course, affects all of us. it does. and it s not necessarily a slam dunk. you heard nancy mace say i m still on the fence how i m going to vote. we shall see. thank you so much. with us now, ohio republican congressman mike harry. he voted for kevin mccarthy to
that were against mccarthy, that she wasn t even able to see those while she supports the underlying rules package itself, which is called the most fiscally responsible in 30 years. let s zoom out a bit. if kevin mccarthy gets the votes for this package, we still has quite a bit of work ahead of him including whether they would be able to pass anything in this chamber, border security any of these bills that they want to get done. it will constantly be a fight in his party, and remember, democrats still control the senate. all right, julie tsirkin, thank you so, much there on capitol hill for us. for more, now i want to bring in robert, white house press secretary under obama, who is also an msnbc political analyst. great to see you. and as we look at what is happening, julia s reporting to, us tomorrow s another major question. these rules not fully known by the members that are gonna have to approve, as of this moment, we know. what is next for us here robert? well richard, i thi
votes that any new congress needs to take at the beginning. they are rules by which the body is going to govern itself, republicans now in charge of the house. i want you to take a listen to what moderate member, congresswoman nancy from south carolina, she represents a purple district, what she had to say when asked if she would support the rules package tomorrow. what i don t support as a small number of people trying to get a deal done or deals done for themselves in private, in secret, to get a vote or a vote present. i don t support that. that is just what nancy pelosi does. at the end of the day, you can t, let you, know the insurgency caucus take hold and dictate. it s gonna be ugly. tony gonzales there at the end, he is actually a congressman who represents the el paso area. and his problem with the rules package actually has to do with defense spending. potential cuts happening to that, where a more moderate member has concerns that these backroom deals, she calls them,
floor, prepared to work. friday night had been a long, long week, and it s not good seeing people that intense and close to that kind of anger. i think we re gonna have more folks fights this week as we go through the rules package. we don t know the deals that kevin mccarthy cut behind closed doors, we re gonna get those both done friday night. but what we even know about the rules package, from across republicans, they re concerned about what happened in the world, packaged on the bills that they want to immediately vote upon, on the floor, without any committee duration. one of the first launches one of the major issues that played out in the elective. and it would criminalize with no exception. even donald trump himself has said many of the republican candidates lost because they did not report any exceptions. and there are a number of other bills are going to try to get through, without any iterations,
sometimes it is messy. democrats, they have a different view. they say that the chaotic episodes that played out on the house floor time and time again really illustrate that republicans are not prepared to govern. they will face another key test, this new republican leadership on monday when they have to vote on a house rules package. eva mac gint, cnn, washington. michael genovese from loyola marymount university, author of the modern presidency: six debates that define the institution. he joins us now from los angeles. so good to have you with us. now that the dust has settled, what s your big takeaway? help us understand what happened and what it all means. we were all witness to a four-day train wreck. it was the longest race for
