'They will not get over it': Republicans panic as Trump team presses for unpopular bill - The Briefing w/Jen Psaki MSNBC



By polling, by anecdote, and by simple logic, the Republican budget bill is not only unpopular with Americans but will cause significant harm to a large number of Americans. Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Jen Psaki about the voter wrath Republicans will incur if they actually pass the bill Trump and his congressional acolytes are trying to force through. - Aired on 06/24/2025.

Excellent point! And I don't get it, either. They were elected by and for their constituents which too many forget... Rhiannon12866 Jun 25 #4

My Congressperson is a bigly supporter. They don't even try to hide the fact that they're in lock-step with Dear Leader. But, he's always preaching about Jesus. About as Christian as him too. In The Name Of The Lard.

Sure, there's a chance that TSF will primary them and they'll be out of a job (maybe). But if their constituents lose their health and food benefits, they'll be out of a job anyway.

Choose your poison.

However, I'm stuck with Stefanik who occasionally holds a rare phone town hall - and she blocks those who disagree with her or ask questions she doesn't like.

Will they actually be out of a job?

Or will they just have to spend a bit more time running around saying things like “the Democrats are to blame for all the problems”, “our bill is the biggest most historic bill ever and things would be great if it wasn’t for the Democrats trying to block everything”, and “the problem is there are still too many Democrats - we need a bigger majority - vote for us”.

Their success and their constituents success are not tightly correlated.
