. >> you lost your bid for a fourth term to dave mccormick. emotionally, what is going through your head these closing days? >> it's always difficult to lose, but i think it's a lot worse if you lose an election, and other parts of your life have challenges. i don't have that. i have a wonderful, loving family, my wife theresa has sacrificed a lot for my years in public office. i have good health. i had a brief cancer scare in 2023. i had surgery, and i'm doing well. i have four daughters, and two grand sons, i'm going to have a lot of time with my family that i really haven't had in a very long time if ever in terms of the uninterrupted family time, which is pretty rare. i have been fortunate, and look forward to what comes next. >> we're in your office. talk about the meaning of this office. you have been in here for some of your terms here in the senate, but why is this a special place? >> first of all, i arrived in this particular office in march of 2009. prior to that, i was just down the hall here in the russell center office building, a

joining us now, congressman richard mccormick.p doctors caucus. congressman, it's hard to imagine you're going to be able to get all this stuff in one bill including the debt ceiling. president trump wants to raise the debt ceiling or even eliminate it. i've spoken with many gop senators and congressman who say they can't vote for that. do you really want that in the first bill? >> there's going to be a lot of push sh, pull. we're going to get a great budget pushed forward, you have to put in something for everybody. if you put in extra things, people will object, especially when have you a slim majority, a slimmer majority in the house than the senate. it's difficult to pass one big, beautiful bill. which i would love to do. that's my goal as well. it gives you the most leverage. the more leverage you have on one thing, the more you lose on another thing and that's why we call it hurting the snakes up here in the house. maria: l lindsey graham was wh me on sunday. he was worried. he says there's no way to corral everybody and get
