but she doesn't have to declare for a long time. she's got a lot of room to sort of flirt and entertained with the ideas of what would it be like if i ran? what would it be like if i didn't so i think there's a lot of questions right now about how she's being perceived in her party, but also how she deals with her party. she when you would watch her on the floor, she spends more time as much time on the republican side of the aisle as she does with her democratic colleagues. that's been true before she declared. she was an independent. that was always how she functioned, and the reality is when chuck schumer says she's an expert legislator. he's not lying. i mean, she's been at the forefront of every bipartisan negotiation that has happened and been signed by the white house is different, which is what makes it interesting and the politics are interesting. red yellow or blue jello reference. always not if you're throwing it, probably only at my brother only at my brother's only at my brothers. he was once the face of an international political battle. now get this elian gonzalez? yes that elian gonzalez set to become a lawmaker in cuba. whahat's the
republican side. i mean, she has accomplished a lot over her career. she is a an expert legislator but an expert politician as well. she knows that hakim jeffries and other democratic leaders can build that coalition, and i also don't think she's entirely going away. i still think she has a role to play. aishah: really quickly and hen i want to move move on, but do you think mccarthy has the votes here? >> you hear the matt gaetzs of the world saying, no, no, no, who are they going to put up? there is no paul ryan. and let's remember, these are the same clowns that unanimously voted for kevin before. now heir saying they wouldn't when they voted for him last time. kevin has worked his tail off. he has recruited, fundraised, he has made this a conference with a mission. there is nobody better suited, and i am so excited. aishah: i think it's a little bit of wheeling and dealing on capitol hill, right? >> always.
