President Trumpโs former chief of staff Mark Meadows talks about his upcoming book, โThe Chiefโs Chief.โ He also analyzes the historic collapse of Republican leadership in the Congress under Mitch McConnell.
โWhen we saw the fold last night, basically before the ink was even dry on the demand โฆ theyโre folding to quote save the filibuster. I think most people โฆ believe having that filibuster is not a winning combination. I know when I was in with President Trump, it was always the filibuster that was the reason why Republicans couldnโt get things done. And yet Mitch McConnell and his team folded last night on the debt ceilingโฆ. Why didnโt we force Democrats to go there alone? Thatโs what McConnell originally said he would do.โ
