Video Description

On this episode, The Washington Post's Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann break down the Republican drama surrounding President Trump's signature "Big, beautiful bill" – starting with the dramatic social media breakup occurring between Trump and Elon Musk. And are GOP senators on board with Trump's plan? Then, Trump seems to be reacting to that drama by creating distractions – from a new travel ban to a dubious investigation of his predecessor. Plus, former president Joe Biden's former White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, says she's leaving the Democratic Party. Why? 00:00 Intro 00:37 Trump and Elon Musk break up 05:25 Is Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in trouble in the Senate? 09:58 Do House Republicans already regret their votes? 12:07 Trump reinstates travel ban 19:10 Trump targets Biden with investigation 23:02 Did the Biden White House cover things up? 26:24 Karine Jean-Pierre leaves the Democratic Party #elonmusk #trump #travelban
