and dialing of the urgency, making no bones about the fact that if donald trump is back in office he will bring to bear some of this political violence and incite some of it, which we know some are afraid of the trend, the weight is moving in the country, and to touch on actually, the all-out war, and the all-out word he can to in the campaign, and amount of campaigning every day and not allowing trumps lies to go unchallenged and that sort of thing. what biden was saying was people don t actually want the state of politics to be a constant factor attachment battle, they don t want to feel like it s my team against your team and we can never find common ground, and been talking about it on cable, motivated on twitter or x or whatever we call it now, the average voter does want to see elected officials work together. i thought it was interesting to that into a speech and and it was an important piece, an important piece of how you will hear him talk as the campaign moves for
elect a speaker since the 1850s continues to play out. he has not yet reached a deal with the senate, mccarthy remains optimistic. lawmaker reportedly even making more concessions to hard line conservatives, some say they still will not support him. sandra: we will likely know a whole lot more as the minutes go on here. we are watching it with you. some mccarthy allies are acknowledge never enough compromise for some hold-outs. warren davidson is backing mccarthy s bid but more than four never kevin lawmakers who will never vote for him. we will have more with the congressman-elect, davidson. he is in front of the camera right now, we ll get to him in just a moment. john: fox news live team coverage, martha will join us with more perspective on the speakership fight, and chad pergram kicking things off this afternoon, live from capitol hill and here we go for a 12th time. here we go again but also some changes. we indicated earlier this morning kevin mccarthy was going
