amended absent permission, blah, blah, blah. but the point is this is actually a detailed request. i want this rule that would allow us to amend bills in an open process without the speaker just automatically denying it. that doesn t seem like now it s certainly a recipe for more chaos but doesn t seem unreasonable. that is a request for a better democracy. some of the requests we want a special committee to investigate biden and matt gaetz to have the gavel. kevin mccarthy will never agree to that. god forbid our elected representatives have to go to the floor and debate policy and vote on amendments but the leadership doesn t want that. if you re kevin mccarthy you don t want that because your majority is so narrow the democrats could pass amendments. so as a power play, speaker mccarthy doesn t want that but to the trump point, trump is popular with the base and popular with those of those house republicans but there s a difference between popular and
george santos, which is of course complicating that matter there. so we ve heard some republicans become critical of santos. but most including kevin mccarthy have remained silent. what is the latest within the gop as to how to handle this congressman elect who is going to take office saddled with scandal after scandal after scandal because of all of his lies? right now, republican leadership strategy, it is just to remain silent and because that appears to be the most, the most politically advantageous strategy to go, because of two factors. one, the mccarthy speaker bid as we mentioned, he still is missing enough votes to secure the speaker s gavel, santos has expressed support for him, that was a since deleted tweet, but still, he expressed support for kevin mccarthy, so republican leadership doesn t want to chip away at another supporter that could put kevin mccarthy over the finish line on tuesday. another factor here is even besides the speaker vote, the
member could be an attractive option for her. it would allow her more time to spend with her husband, paul pelosi, who she has discussed as being on a long road to recovery. it would not look like she s reneging on a promise to san francisco voters, who two weeks ago elected her to another term. it s something that people around her have been thinking is a possibly elegant option for her, if leadership doesn t look like it s panning out, if resigning because you lost the house looks like a bad sport. so it s something to consider as we watch. because we really don t know yet. it is a fact that washington, the agreements and promises not to run for something really aren t worth the paper they re printed on, if they re prohinte on paper. melanie, i want to ask, when you speak to democrats on the hill, lawmakers, as well as those i spiring for leadership, such as hakeem jeffries, do they believe that it is good for the democratic party, it would be good for nancy pelosi to stay in terms
