caldwell. >> she said the house will take the week off next week for votes. the committees are going to work. they are going to have a covid bill ready on february 1st. of course, we know that february -- the covid bill is a big priority for the new president biden. that is a very accelerated time line, faster than us had anticipated. as far as the impeachment trial is concerned as well, craig, there was a little bit of news there, too. she said she's waiting on the senate before she sends over the article of impeachment. we do know that senate leaders schumer and mcconnell have been discussing the parameters of what a trial would look like, how long it would last, when it would start, et cetera. she's waiting before she sends that over. she does say it will be soon. one more thing that really stood out to me, craig, is that the house will be voting today on a waiver for general austin to be defense secretary. that's something that is expected to pass, despite previous democratic opposition to giving another waiver. it looks like that's going to go through to help get biden's cabinet in order, craig. >> general mattis received

covid relief bill, in part out of spite for senator mcconnell, and it's all part of this unending, relentless campaign to convince the country that, somehow, he didn't lose. >> leigh ann caldwell, mitch mcconnell has called the publicity stunt that josh hawley and ted cruz now are all engaging in one of the most -- will end up becoming, basically, probably the most -- one of their most important votes ever as united states senators. so, here they are dividing the party on this. how divided is this party going to be on this vote on that senate republican floor? we know what's going to happen with house republicans. they are the trump base. but senate republicans are not. will half vote against the president or not? >> so, chuck, i've been talking to my sources all weekend and there are a couple things. this group following ted cruz have not yet decided how many states or which states they're going to object to and how, perhaps, they might vote. all these things are under discussion. a lot of sources i've also been talking to, none of them say that the outcome is going to change at all. so, what's going on here? and it is that trump has a tremendous shadow over this party and a

bill and this is pushback from republicans. and the executive orders in the first 10 days in office. and let's bring in our panel. caldwelller, i couldn't have a better panel here to talk about this because we're at the beginning of a new administration and we heard on inauguration day a strong message, historic by many accounts, of unity, but now in the first big fight in washington, over covid relief something the last administration tried to deliver. we're seeing the democrats say, well, we may just do it alone. richard, i'll start with you. what's going on? why are they going to go without trying to get some consensus? >> listen, i think it's too early to tell whether or not there's going to be consensus on this covid relief bill, but i think that the president wants to work with republicans on this and he should. let's be very clear. two weeks ago, many of the things that are in the covid relief bill republicans were for, they were for $2,000 collection to the american people and now they seem to be against it. they were for money to go to state and local governments and now they seem to be against it and what we're
