is the seventh time the charm? we ll find out at noon eastern when the house reconvenes for another round of voting. bill: you have 20 republicans refusing to back mccarthy. because of their narrow majority mccarthy could only lose four. dana: the two sides talked about the impasse. he hopes to agree to more demands. among them a lower threshold to try to oust him from the speaker s chair and want more freedom caucus members on committees and guaranteed votes on bills conservatives have been pushing for. is that enough to move the needle? both size expressing optimism but republicans still aren t unified. a reason kevin mccarthy doesn t want to continue having vote. with each vote he seems to be decreasing in his vote share. we suspect the trend is likely to continue. what exactly do you want? you want what, four out of nine positions on the rules committee? i want to be able to have enough members on the rules committee we can block bad bills. kevin mccarthy ha
will you visit the border? president biden: that s my intention. we re working out the details now. it represents a shift in priorities for the president. today officials have put the economy tops emphasizing investments in american innovation like chips on recent border state trips. why go to a border state and not visit the border? president biden: more important thing going on. they will invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise. officials didn t think a trip to the border would be productive in advancing policy. why don t you want to go? i think it s an issue of what s most constructive to address what we see as the challenging situation at the border and a broken immigration system. his view is the most constructive role we can play is by helping to push immigration reform forward, helping reform the broken policies of the last several years, and listening to
russian disinformation in 2020. why hasn t president biden been to the southern border? what would you like him to do. why doesn t he want to go? i don t think it s an issue of wanting to go. what is most construct off to address a challenging situation and a broken immigration system. his view the most constructive role to play is push immigration reform forward and reform the broken policies of the last several years and listens to his advisors who have been to the border multiple times. why is it the crisis he thinks he can be manage better here? the president is well aware of the challenges in the broken immigration system, something he watched closely over the last 4 years. a fine point on your answer. the union officials and lawyers
