today when democrats had to bail out republicans on a procedural vote that republicans claim they could pass on their very own. prior to that vote politico reported when asked if the gop would needd democratic help to pass this procedural measure, majority whip tom emmer said republicans are the ones running this place, and republicans will pass thean bills, and that s wh we are doing. but in the end republicans did not have the votes to pass that measure on their own. they needed 52 democrats to bail them out. now, both sides have faced opposition to voting to this deal. conservatives say it does not go nearly fars enough. progressives have argued the bill s impact on the poor and working class is too severe. but the character of that opposition is remarkably different. take for instance marjorie taylor greene, the fringe conservative for this now landed herself a place as one of speaker mccarthy s top allies. told she told reporters she was leaning towards voting for this b
overseas to indonesia, and she came back in his place for a big summit, and that s where she reminded voters that she s one sandbag away from the top job. do you feel prepared for that possibility, has serving vice-president prepared you for serving for that job. yes., joe biden is going to be fine so that is not going to come to fruition. but let usus a also understand every vice-president, every vice-president understands that when they take the oath, that they must be very clear about ib the responsibility they may have to take over the job of being president. i am no different. greg: oh, yes, you are. but before she a sends the throne kamala still has to play the game and butter up her boss. our president has been an extraordinary leader who has accomplished things that rd previous presidentins hoped and dreamed and promised they wouldo do andpe did not achieve. i see how his ability to understand the issues and weave through complication issues on behalf oicf the
impeached. do you think kevin mccarthy is going to havepe to pay the tab this, which is to say kowtow to the most conservative members of his conference in the days to come? are you at all concerned about what concessions he might have to make to them in order to hold ton to the speaker s gavel, for example? well, theer american people should continue to be concerned with the extremists that have been on full display and in many ways unleashed. marjorie taylor greene is front and center as a leader of the house republican conference, so is george santos if the default on america act passed with the support of george santos. and you ve got individuals totally out of control like santos, unfit to serve in the united states congress, but who have become an important part of the b fabric of what the modern day house republicans represent. that s unfortunate. as democrats we re going to continue to try to find common groundin whenever and wherever possible to put people over le politics,
