Thank you so much for joining us. At this hour, we are standing by and keeping our eye on capitol hill. Were going to soon be hearing from House Speaker Nancy pelosi. Pelosi will be taking questions from reporters. Shes kind of doing her intro right now. Were going to get into it in a second, because this is the first time since the house passed the bill creating an independent commission to investigation the Capitol Insurrection that shes going to be taking questions from reporters. 35 House Republicans, defied Gop Leadership voting in favor of the commission. Now, obviously, that is nowhere near a majority. But in house republican politics, it is a significant number of defections. Now, its up to the senate, where until you can show me evidence to the contrary, we should expect this bill, this commission, to fail. Cnns Manu Raju is joining us from capitol hill. For more on this, were keeping an ear to Speaker Pelosi, manu. But its the same math we talk about all the time. Democrats a
Hour on House Speaker Nancy pelosis future. Up first the choice for senate republicans. Pursue the truth or give Donald Trump another pass . Give him a pass does appear to be sadly the Safe Bet this hour. Ten senate republicans would be needed to break from their leader and join democrats to approve a commission to investigate the January 6th capitol insurrection. The Commission Bill passed the house yesterday. 35 House Republicans voted yes. That is not a small number especially given the House Gop Leadership urging a no vote and the former president Donald Trump making clear this is a loyalty test. Democrats this morning sending a very clear message. My senate republican colleagues must now ask themselves are they going to join us in pursuing the truth . Or are they going to cover for Donald Trump and his Big Lie . To my republican friends and i do have them, take back your party. Lets get straight up to Capitol Hill and cnns lauren fox. Describe the fate of this bill in the senate.
