We reported in April that WH officials James Braid & James Blair have been meeting privately with GOP senators in recent months to develop their own whip list on nuking the filibuster. punchbowl.news/article/house/… Trump keeps saying it’s just a handful of R’s standing in the way, but Thune has said the real number is “not even close” to that (much higher). Implication here is that Trump knows full well it’s a lot more than just a handful — because his own staffers have done a whip count. Safe to say that holding a doomed-to-fail vote on nuking the filibuster, which would expose GOP divisions close to the election, is not something Thune believes is productive.















Rep. Buddy Carter calls for Georgia officials to toss out already cast votes: "We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by people who represent their values. Georgia is a Republican state. We need to remember that."
