🚨🚨Another wild day in the house

House Democrats have had a procedural vote open for an hour because they are having trouble getting voted for their bill to harden security at the Capitol.

The whole leadership is on the floor whipping.
Pelosi is huddling with @repcleaver and @WhipClyburn — two stalwarts of the CBC.
>@LeaderHoyer and @rosadelauro are talking with @RashidaTlaib. A long convo.
Now @RashidaTlaib chatting w @davidcicilline. She’s getting visits from lots of leaders.

>@PunchbowlNews AM: The Biden Governing Doctrine

Four months in a few points about @JoeBiden

→ Relearning Washington. Biden campaigned for the presidency having what he described as a deep set of relationships with Republicans, combined with real insight into how they think.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden But he quickly learned that his view of D.C. is tinted with sepia. The Republicans in Congress now don’t resemble the Republicans he knew in the ‘80s, ‘90s, or early 2000s. They are, for the most part, uninterested in working with him. Biden has learned that quickly.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden His WH has been somewhat smart in targeting the rank-and-file instead of the GOP leadership. @SenCapito for example, carries a different kind of heft than @LeaderMcConnell. She also has her own thoughts on what’s achievable.

>@PunchbowlNews AM this morning: House Republicans are a mess.

For the second week in a row, House Republicans find themselves engaged in a nasty round of internecine warfare, second-guessing and turning against the tactics of their leadership.
@PunchbowlNews topic of disagreement: A bill authorizing a bipartisan commission to review the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. @GOPLeader said he was opposed to the legislation Tuesday, but @RepJohnKatko ) -- who helped put together the bipartisan deal at McCarthy’s behest — is for it.
@PunchbowlNews @GOPLeader @RepJohnKatko McCarthy’s gripe was lame to many House Republicans. He said this commission should be focused on other political violence, not just Jan. 6. A lot of Republicans found this excuse incredibly weak, especially since most GOP members had called for a Jan. 6 commission months ago.

In @PunchbowlNews AM this morning, we laid out the shift in Israel politics on Capitol Hill

→ The cease-fire as a political issue. @JoeBiden seems in favor, although hasnt called for it. @TomCottonAR says its giving into Hamas. @LeaderMcConnell took to the floor criticizing it
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden @TomCottonAR @LeaderMcConnell → A tougher climb back to an Iran nuclear deal: Hamas is an Iranian proxy, and opponents of a second nuclear deal are pumping out reasons why this latest round of bloody fighting in Gaza changes the situation dramatically. They say any sanctions relief would go to Hamas in Gaza
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden @TomCottonAR @LeaderMcConnell → Internal Democratic food fight: The longer this drags on, the worse it gets for Hill Democrats. The progressive left is very vocal in calling out Netanyahu and standing up for Palestinians. This makes more traditional Democrats uncomfortable, they’ll concede privately.

House Republicans spent last week booting @Liz_Cheney out of the leadership, elevating @EliseStefanik and telling everyone who would listen that they were completely united.

Well, it’s Tuesday and they are about to enter another week in which their fissures are going to show
@Liz_Cheney @EliseStefanik >@GOPLeader’s decision to knife @RepJohnKatko over the Jan. 6 commission will spark another round of Republicans-are-divided stories.

It’s a sign to the rank and file that they have little power and leadership still wants the decision-making concetrated in @GOPLeader's office
@Liz_Cheney @EliseStefanik @GOPLeader @RepJohnKatko It’s also short sighted in the sense that Senate Republicans were getting ready to kill this commission either way. House Rs could’ve just taken a pass on it without @GOPLeader saying anything and it probably would’ve gone away
