Comes as new unemployment claims fell to pandemic era lows for the second week in a row. Republicans on capitol hill are continuing to fight the president s spending plans and each other, deciding whether liz cheney remain in leadership while standing up to former president donald trump s daily false claims about the election. We ll have more on that in a moment. Starting us off this hour, monica alba in new orleans, the next up on the president s louisiana trip, as i just mentioned. Also with us ali vitaly live on capitol hill. Monica, the president hoping for a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure. Realistically how can the white house itten to negotiate with republicans when it seems republicans are opposed to almost everything he is doing. Reporter: that s literally what nat minority leader mitch mcconnell stated. He said he s going to work essentially full time to try to oppose whatever the administration is doing. That s not really congruent with some of the republican lawmaker
Was announced she was dropping out of the presidential campaign, because it was such a fascinating and moving hour of television that you did that night with senator warren. And she is still with us, of course, in so many ways. And in the book, she talks about losing and how there are more things that can happen than you just lose a campaign. There are more dimensions to losing than people realize. Including some of the wins that come from losing. Like getting joe biden the nominee to adopt ideas that she impressed upon him. Somewhat against his will during presidential debates, for example. Yeah. And also, in the case of elizabeth warren, turning out to be maybe the most influential member of the democratic party in washington in terms of getting personnel into key roles in the biden administration. I mean, look at people who have been associated with elizabeth warren, who have worked for her, worked with her, who have been partners with her, who ended up in key positions inside the b

The post reports that recent gop retreats, staffers with the national republican congressional committee left out key findings about trump s weakness, his unfavorable ratings, which continue to grow in district republicans need in order to win back the house. Congresswoman cheney claims nrcc leadership willfully hid that bad polling from its members to avoid telling the truth about trump.

years. so i don t see myself anywhere else but here. a pathway to citizenship is not the only thing advocates want addressed. they called on the biden administration to also work to reunite all families separated by the trump administration. here was the president earlier this week speaking with my colleague craig melvin about the challenges his administration currently faces. here s what happened. the failure to have a real transition, cooperation from the last administration, like every other administration has done, so we didn t find out that they had fired a whole lot of people, that they were understaffed considerably. we didn t know any of that on my first day. we didn t know that. joining me now, to discuss the president s immigration agenda is kyler moran, a special assistant to the president of the domestic policy council. thanks for joining us. president biden called for congress to send him a bill, creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, d
