responsible and what have you but also the relitigation of the 2020 election entirely. there are a number of republicans who say i think donald trump did some good things in policy but i m sick of the relitigation of that yeah lex. i am ready to turn the page. that is how the dynamic may play out where somebody like liz cheney would be okay with. you saw the fatigue in the rid term elections and the red wave that did not materialize. i think this is going to be a huge challenge for kevin mccarthy coming in as a supposed we don t even know yet but he wants to be speaker of the house. he doesn t even have the votes yet. he is trying to get to 218. what is he doing? he is engaging in a corrupt bargain selling out to his maga caucus who knows what promises on investigations, promises on impeachment. all of that comes back to the
relitigation of 2020. it is all basd on the big lie. the maga caucus believes the big lie. everyone in that congress who kevin mccarthy is going to, have to nail to in order to get their votes and who knows what else he has to do to play kate them in the next two years, it is going to be a huge challenge for kevin mccarthy to demonstrate to the american people they deserve to continue to have control of the house. if they re not able to show they are interested in governing or legislating on solutions for the american people which is what they promised during the january 6th committee releasing their report tonight. all 845 pages of it. and we are downloading it right now. our speed-readers are standing by. we ll bring you what we are learning next. and up next, a huge storm bearing down on the entire nation just a few days before
