That enough would vote yes, but are they sure? house democrats are going to make sure that the country does not default. period. full stop. this caucus will remain unified with the president and most importantly with the american people in this fight. house democrats stand poised to help, stand poised to be the adults in the room, and we will ensure that we put this crisis behind us. we have two house lawmakers starting us off today. a republican in mccarthy s inner circle and a democrat who voted no on the deal in the rules committee last night, and that right there is where we begin. joining me now is pennsylvania democratic congresswoman and members of the rules committee, mary guy scanlan, thank you for being with us. you voted no in the rules committee, will you vote yes ....
Governments are a, faith when he is tried technically it with biden, knowing that any republican in the entire caucus can say i want to call a vote and snap their fingers. what does that do to kind of in mccarthy s negotiating power? every person singh is sitting across the negotiating table from kevin mccarthy is sitting there knowing that whatever he is saying at that exact moment could be blown out of the window five seconds later by a matt gaetz, by any one of these red bull conservatives who held kevin mccarthy successfully hostage for civil in january. it could all blow up right away. it is kind of, like what s the point of negotiating with kevin mccarthy when he is so weak. one nothing that he says you can stand any kind of scrutiny with allen s own conference. he should not be otherwise, it might get to a point where democrats and the president might be better off trying to find five or six common sense republicans who do not want to see her calm it collapsed and say what c ....
Forcefully call him out. jake, you spoke of all the reasons that kevin mccarthy might just stick with donald trump for now because he wants to win the speakership. you know the count better than anyone. do you think that he actually is going to have the votes at the end of the day to win house speaker? open question. this is a very extremely difficult path to 218. remember, he could lose four people at 218. he s got 222. so he could convince people to vote present or otherwise show up. my guess sitting here today is he probably does get there in some way. they feel like, based on their own analysis and the people i talk to in mccarthy s office, feel they could limit their losses to four and get people to a place where they understand he s the only person that could get 218. this idea there s going to be a ....

Were talking about a 25th amendment resolution. mccarthy says yeah. cheney says, and you asked. you know, what happens if it gets thereafter he s gone is there any chance are you hearing that he might resign so mccarthy and liz cheney and presumably others are having enough a detailed conversation about the 25th amendment that they re talking about what might happen with the 25th amendment and its implementation if he resigns in the middle of that process. and they re trying to figure out how to play out on the ground. and then they get from that into yemen mccarthy is going to tell him to resign. in mccarthy, i will tell you this denial that you just quoted, lawrence, from mccarthy and his office today. is absolutely correct. nbc news went back to mccarthy s office to make sure that donald was exactly what they meant. asked again if mccarthy said he would push president trump to resign, the answer was no he did not. we have mccarthy saying here he would push trump resign. mccarthy is ....
