it as a defeat for maga extremists and their agenda. but progressives aren t all sold. i want to bring in nbc s sahil kapur on capitol hill, jonathan lemire, host of way too early and msnbc political analyst and matthew dowd, msnbc s senior political analyst. good to see you all. so, sahel, the test for messaging is whether it moves votes, right? do we have any sense of how it is working on either side? that s right, chris. we know the freedom caucus press conference s opposition is a headache for speaker mccarthy. whether it becomes a vote problem remains to be seen. we saw a dozen members of the republican conference at that press conference. some of the most hard right members who leadership was never counting on in a bipartisan deal with democrats. if the number remains that low, in terms of republican defections on the floor, it would be a dream outcome for kevin mccarthy. because democrats can vote on this and they are expected to
camilla jayapal will embrace that as well. this deal includes work requirements. changes were made to food stamps raising the age from 49 to 54 for able-bodied americans, those without dependents. that s something progressives aren t happy with. they made that clear to the president. will they ultimately get on board with it? it remains to be seen. this bill will have votes from democrats and republicans in the house and senate in order to pass. we ll see as the members start coming back tomorrow. i m told the caucus members will come back today and see if they can accept this. tomorrow the rules committee will start taking up this bill. remember who sits on that committee, two republicans, conservatives who didn t want mccarthy to have the gavel, ralph norman and chip roy. with democratic support, we expect it to move forward. allie, how is the president
do we sacrifice something as a result? we do. are they just sacrificing messaging points or is the idea that if you look that polling, spending freeze, maybe spending cuts, progressives aren t going to like that. we ll have to wait and see. republicans are talking about this already. they are talking about what they are giving up, they are talking about the fact they are at the negotiating table as a sign they are working to try to do things in a positive way. we just haven t heard the same thing. they have ducked out meetings and taken a more old-fashioned approach, which is let s get behind a closed douor. let s actually work on getting something done. but this is a 21st century negotiation with social media and with discussions happening and narratives being built and the white house has not played a central role in building the narrative. they are paying the price for that.
headquarters, want janet yellen to show data on x date being june 1st and covid and the irs to push the x date back to end of june. already and the way the freedom caucus cast it was speaker mccarthy, you re responsible for unity of the republican party. if you want to keep it, here s what you need to do. reasonable for many americans, those are reasonable requests being politically thrown in at the 11th hour though. negotiations happen all the time, john. we don t think that progressives aren t throwing things in for the president now to try to negotiate, they are. keep in mind the big picture. politically joe biden must have a deal. you re looking at 33% of americans think he is up for doing the job of president of the united states. he must have a deal.
