Chief of staff. Before that i held a number of different positions with another member and with two committees. Being the chief of staff of the speaker is very much like drinking out of a fire hose everyday. We had two years under president bush. Then two years under president obama. During that time we covered everything from the financial collapse to the passage of health care and stimulus and the after effects of the financial meltdown. The last two years we lost the majority so we were in the minority. And highite a diverse pressure ride i o is described as just drinking out of a fire hose everyday. Host i want to show viewers with the speaker has to say when she was asked about the election results. [video] we had a very deep victory two years ago. I dont think people are quite understanding of the 40 seats that we won, 31 were in trump districts. He wasnt on the ballot and right away we said he is going to be on the ballot.

President pence and the Coronavirus Task force. The briefing was supposed to start at 5 00, but is running late. Kevin mccarthy also held a Weekly Briefing by phone. Good morning. Thank you all for joining me. I hope you are safe. Before i begin, i want to pause for one moment and use this opportunity to extend my deepest condolences to every family in this country who is morning a loved one right now.
