He would get a republican primary challenge. period, full stop. that's why it is symbolic. it doesn't mean there is a veto-proof majority. the fact 12 republicans, most in safe seats, some of them -- a couple of them in seats where it helps them like susan collins was up for re-election in maine. it's note-worthy and a moment in the trump presidency. >> he put the f in flip-flop. >> will the president pay any political price for the veto now that these republicans have come forward to say he shouldn't circumvent congress. >> he's never been a bridge builder. it's been two plus years with him s...

News just in on the house vote to block the national emergency situation by the president. the vote is going to happen on tuesday. it's all but certain to pass the house. then everybody is looking to the senate. they'll have to vote on it. also in new orleans, a live look at this year's power rising summit. in the next maybe five minutes or so, stacey abrams is expected to take the stage followed by kamala harris. she's making her pitch to a core constituency that helped propel former president obama in 2008. that's after she sat down with reverend sharpton yesterday. that's the same place he ...
