members promised not to abuse, that is something that they will be watching to make sure that these battles do not play out in public anymore, and art resolved in private instead. and the new house reconvenes katie on monday, they will be debating and voting on that rules package that then governs the 118th congress. for those that are unfamiliar with the inner workings of congress, how important is this? and what are you going to be watching for during this process? yes, it is crucial. it really does establish the way that everything is going to function for the next two years within the congress. i do not think that that vote is going to be easy for anybody because the concessions that were made in order for kevin mccarthy to get the speakership are not consistent with what everybody else once in the rules. so i think it is going to be really interesting to watch. i would be very surprised if it passes on the first go, do you think that this is an area where democrats might be ab
