The biden American Rescue plan. The next will be recovery. We call it reconciliation. Theres nothing in reconciliation that precludes republicans from voting for it. Good morn, everybody. Im tiffany cross, and we have a lot of news to get to this morning on Cross Connection, so strap in. President bidens 1. 9 trillion rescue plan is on a fast track to approval after the house and Senate Passed a Budge Bill Yesterday and democrats pretty much tossed the deuces to the republicans warning they maybepass them altogether. Its good news for struggling americans who cant even afford to put gas in the car or go to a job they no longer have. Meanwhile capitol hill is preparing for Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial to kick off on tuesday. And at least as of this morning, it looks unlikely that a minimum of 17 republicans will vote with the dems to convict trump.

So today there will be a full house vote on a measure that will strip Marjorie Taylor greene of her committee assignments. A vote that will also force republicans to go on the record on where they stand when it comes to the Conspiracy Theories that led to the January 6th Insurrection on capitol and are being embraced by some of their own members, some of the new members. And as you could see in Marjorie Taylor greene. Well hear this house from the white house. Theyve taken a Firm Position they are not going to discuss Marjorie Taylor greene from the Briefing Room.

She cant ignore the literal elephant in the room, the gop. Thats because right now republicans face a reckoning. It centers on two key figures representing two directions for the party. Congresswoman Marjory Taylor greenes comments are putting her party on the spot. Today, lawmakers will have to go on the record over whether or not to strip her of her committee assignments. In the next hour, the white house or rather, the house will start proceedings to make that happen. When it comes to conference chair liz cheney, republicans were okay saying one thing about her publically after she voted to impeach former President Trump but in a closeddoor meeting last night, a majority voted to keep her in a position of leadership even after her break with the former president. More on that in moments. Right now, the white house is trying to keep the focus on Foreign Policy. That includes a trip to the State Department and President Bidens first major policy remarks since taking office. In 30 minu
