Isaac there is not much agreement we have down here, but that is undeniably top of the list. What we have seen over the past few weeks is both parties coalescing around the idea it is necessary and in the vital when it comesest to my policy with china. It is not just here. It is also our partners around the globe. I think the eu has been more serious around this matter. We have had some developments in terms of Congress Passing limited sanctions and china responding. Note thatrtant to thus far the backandforth between china and the United States has been measured, proportional, and largely symbolic. My call is we will continue to have these back and forths and a degree in headline volatility, but there is no reason to believe leaders on either side of the pacific want to see a massive unwind of their relationship in the near term and theyre battling with issues domestically. There hasyou say, been backandforth in the last day. There is also been backandforth between joe biden and Presi

Great deal of this because it is the first republican senator to say im not sure Mitch Mcconnell is handling it right. Not that the president should be convicted, but maybe we should not be working quite so closely with the white house. Is this significant . Kevin it is. Senator murkowski voted against the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh. The question is whether senator murkowski can bring on other republicans to try to get on board during the rule package that leader mcconnell has to advance in the senate by a simple majority.
