good day. i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. can they get to 218 by tomorrow? with growing frustration over the debt deal on the right and the left, we have got latest on the arm twisting, political messaging and veiled threats coming out of capitol hill. all of it with a full house vote tentatively planned for tomorrow night. plus, desantis in des moines. the governor, how will his florida blueprint go over with the folks in iowa? and the war next door hits home for vladimir putin. literally. drones exploded on a moscow neighborhood while buildings were set fire in kyiv. we start with conservative republicans vowing to do everything in their power to kill the debt ceiling bill, demanding their colleagues vote it down. their opposition raising new fears about the future of the legislation and reigniting concerns that the country could be headed back to the brink of a catastrophic economic default. if you re out there watching this, every on
for him as a candidate. can he win over those voters, can he prove the skeptics wrong who have been saying he s not a guy that can do the handshakes and the baby kissing and the retail politics? can he prove them wrong and really be on the ground with voters and make the case and win them over here, chris? so, matthew to that point, there is that old saying, you only get one chance to make a first impression. on the other hand, iowa is a hands on state. people expect you to talk to them. people expect you to shake their hand, listen to them. is it an opportunity for desantis to begin to lose the image brought about by a rocky start. does he have it in him? yes, he has an opportunity, but does he have the capability? i mean, that s the real question. iowa more than any other state, more than new hampshire, more than south carolina, more than any other state, is immersed in retail politics. it is the tradition, and think
i checked my phone and i looked on my phone and it just said flight canceled. reporter: the rapid spread of the omicron variant debilitating airlines and airports. how long should folks expect these cancellations? i don t think there is any reason to think that these cancellations are going to stop before the holiday travel period ends. reporter: the number of tsa agents out tripled in the last week. now more than 1,700 off the job with covid. and the faa today in a statement saying traffic volume at some facilities could be reduced, noting an increase in the number of its employees testing positive all this as a massive winter storm system sweeps across the country. snow and sleet making its way to the midwest overnight, expected to barrel down on key airport hubs from denver to dallas and chicago. look, expect the worst but hope for the best you will likely find delays you will likely have your flight canceled. reporter: a rocky start to the new year
rob: it was sweet. carley: a rocky start for joe biden who was criticized out of the gate, some people called it condescending. kamala harris s press secretary jumping on this moment simply tweeting kid. check out this tweet saying incredibly disrespectful to her. she is no kid but an intelligent and accomplished woman, jill siding with you saying it is a term of endearment in his world, let s it go. after the debate kamala harris and she didn t have a problem with that remark. all those things i hate. we don t have much time but i learned something new. look at this. why did you announce a 0-tolerance policy of stop and frisk and hire rudy giuliani? dipping into the kool-aid and don t know the flavor.
