So what happens?
I hope that it is.
That is what we're working very hard to make happen.
Now, there is also some in-between solutions we're working on.
Like, for example, can you allow the Democrats to preserve the filibuster, but actually force them to go and do a real filibuster?
Like, not wear a procedural paperwork filibuster, but stand there and talk.
If you really want to prevent
us from checking ID before votes.
If you really want to ensure that illegal aliens have the right to vote, then stand on the Senate floor Cory Booker style for 30 hours and defend that to the American people.
At the very least, then we'd have a real debate.
We're working on it.
I can't tell you how it's going to turn out because I can't predict 51 GOP senators, but we are making some progress.
Yeah.
So I will say, if you look at the numbers on affordability, they're starting to move in our direction.
A little bit, but there's clear movement from where there was, say, four or five months ago.
I think that's a good thing.
But here's the way that I think about it, Megan, is if you go just dollars and cents, the average American household lost about $3,000 of net wages during the Biden administration.
That's through inflation.
That's through higher taxes.
The average American household, now this is about a month old, but had gained about $1,200 during the Trump administration.
