Playing catch-up to a lot of these incidents. theres been frustrations from democrats wanting to see from the white house more pressure to either get boosters approved at the end of last year or to really just be ahead of everything in terms of tests, in terms of masks, and also explaining it to the public. we saw biden has repeatedly, in the past few months, tried to explain what his administration is doing and what they expect and to prepare the public for coming waves. >> so one of the many q...

So, if those two democrats hold the line in tonights vote, and keep the rules as is, it would be the first time either of them cast this type of vote against the presidents agenda. president biden wants the rules changed. in some ways, this is an exercise of majority -- you shine a light on the obstacles to voting rights. as well as the peril that american democracy finds itself in. joining me now from the front lines, marc elias. nationally recognized -- mark, theyve been going for a while. the...

Be controversial and what we should not be debating is the facts themself, to jessicas point, is this real science or not real science, the facts are the facts and data is data. but there are different interpretations of the same data and it is a reasonable conversation for experts to disagree to have that discussion on his show. >> jessica, that is so interesting to hear your point of view and it is definitely eye-opening. i think what you hear you saying is that, yes, he could have compelling ...

Effort ramping up again to try and revolutionize and change the way that the electoral count act is initiated here on capitol hill. that is overseeing how you count the votes from fair and free elections. but im talking to lawmakers who say the hope right now is that democrats can change the conversation from what they have failed to do to what they can actually accomplish. and theres also a little bit of hope from some of joe manchins colleagues that if they find a way to pass a couple bipartis...
