We begin with this, only in washington, folks. A key vote on forming a commission to investigate The Capitol Riot delayed overnight and The reason will drive you nuts. Cnns Daniella Diaz is live for us on Capitol Hill this morning. This was supposed to be a vote overnight on investigating The capitol insurrection, a bipartisan commission, but Then you also have china and The border and its all wrapped into one dysfunctional night in washington. Please explain what The heck happened. Reporter 14 hours of debate, laura, and still no end in sight. The senate didnt even wrap today until 2 30 a. M. , just a couple hours before i showed up to The capitol to work today. But, look, this is delayed, this vote for The 9 11style Commission to investigate The Capitol Attack on January 6 was delayed because republican senators, a handful o
Been waiting for for months. Do kids need to wear masks at Summer Camp . Plus its the first normal Holiday Weekend in more than a year, which means lots of planes, trains, and automobiles. But prepare for some stress as Gas Prices soar and masks remain a must on planes. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We start with our politics lead. Even though it was almost guaranteed to fail, it was still stunning to watch almost every Senate Republican this Afternoon Block a bill which would have created a bipartisan commission to investigate what went wrong and what caused the capitol riot. Only six republicans sided with democrats on todays vote. Bill cassidy, Susan Collins, lisa murkowski, ben sasse, rob portman, and mitt romney, despite so many votes calling for an investigation in the aftermath of january 6, of course before Donald Trump made it clear he opposed any closer look on what may have caused the attack at the capitol. 11 senators, we should point out, could not even have been bo
Defunding the police even after a group of kids steals his car. We need programmatic will in place support these kids rather than them committing crime.

That math at this hour is if thats going to happen, that would mean that some republicans would have to change their minds over the course of the Afternoon And Evening because John Thune, whos technically the Vote Counter on the republican side, he announced confidently today we have the votes, we have the votes to block this. So i agree with you. I think it is possible because this is just an extraordinary thing for the republicans to be Voting Against. So there might be some republican senators at this hour who are struggling with this decision, but it would have to be a change of mind among some of them at least from this afternoon when John Thune was 100 confident, he and Mitch Mcconnell, have the votes to block this. Im unclear as to what the glory is in that, in winning that battle, but a lot of things confuse me. You know more about these thins than i do so i Look forward to your analysis this evening. Have yourself a great show and ill talk to you next week. Thank you, ali. Wel

It looked ready to pass when Out Of Nowhere another curveball came from senator ron johnson, the wisco
