prepared to continue to deliver on the things like the prescription drug bill that we got done, the manufacturing leadership act that i got passed. i ve got one more follow-up and we re running out of time. do you support the speaker s apparent strategy here to hold the articles of impeachment until she can get as senator van hollen out of maryland said some assurances from the senate leader, the majority leader? i think victor, i think everyone knows we want to have a fair trial. everyone wants a fair trial. the president even said that. but let s also be clear, it s december 21st. congress is on recess. session starts again at the beginning of january. i m fully convinced that this will be negotiated by then and the right and fair trial will be put into place in the senate. but should she hold these until she gets some assurances? i think that by navigate a lot of technicalities between the house and the senate going forward and we certainly don t
harris: interesting. really, marie, most people would think that if you brought up impeachment on a stage where you had more than one senator you probably would get kumbaya but andrew yang went after it. marie: in this case he s actually not right here. the house led by nancy pelosi has passed 300 bills this year they have republicans on them, bipartisan support. a large majority of those bills are sitting on mitch mcconnell s desk. democrats running in 2020, at the house and senate level are going to say is yes, we did impeachment, we believe it was our constitutional duty to do so but we pass the prescription drug bill, we passed against 300 bills in the house that they got republicans on, many of which sat on mitch mcconnell s desk. there is some indication for 2019 races and some other special elections, some we ve seen this year that that actually works with voters particularly in some districts. harris: the nuance you are saying is now you ve added in
milestone speech on impeachment allow allowed democrat to talk up the president to her district. on the progressive side you hear the same thing about her leadership style. she s done a really good job of navigating very difficult waters. progressive cochair fought her hard and won some concessions on a key prescription drug bill. nancy pelosi wanted done before christmas. sometimes she s irritated with us and sometimes we might be irritated with her. but it has to do with what we re fighting for. i do think she recognizes that if this is an ideology value for you and you nak it clear, she s not going to talk you out of it. last fall during a visit to baltimore. she described her role as a leader as one of master weaver. i m at the loom. every member whatever
this, you know, we run as democrats for those shared values and none of those are being supported by the republicans. when we have a prescription drug bill that passed last week with overwhelming support from the democrats but only two republicans voted to expand medicare benefits and dramatically reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you have to wonder what are the values of this republican party. when mitch mcconnell and the senate is holding up 300 of the bills we passed, many of them dealing with rooting out corruption, restoring the voice of the people to our political process, you got to wonder again what are those values and why would anyone want to join that party at this point in time. congresswoman, i sincerely appreciate as i ve heard from speaker pelosi in every one of
they re trying to focus on the accomplishments that they say the house of representatives has done over the past year. this has been a very productive week in congress. especially, in the house. they passed a prescription drug bill. i know. the agreement on the usmca. national defense authorization agreement. oh, and also, there is an agreement on government funding. not just a short-term cr but to fund the government for the remainder of the for the fiscal year. so that s a huge sign that pelosi needed these wins for her members. who knew the impeachment process would suddenly make congress functional again? it took impeachment to prevent a government shutdown. i ll let i ll let peggy and andrea process that in a minute. but let me turn to the other side of pennsylvania avenue. hans nichols. there is a there s always this idea with president trump. don t listen to what he says. pay attention to what he does. so on this senate trial, he says he wants a senate trial.
