I don`t think so. I think that they`re afraid of the base. I like what you saw there, the two Republicans spoke there do represent both sides of the party. And I think we know which side is stronger. They`re afraid.
If we lose this one, if we allow this to overturn elections, elected officials, elected Republican officials to overturn elections, our democracy goes away.
Even though 70 percent of the American people favored the COVID relief bill, every Republican voted against it.
They are the most anti-democratic party. And I think that’s very bad for our democracy.
