roy cooper, who wins a government shutdown? guest: democrats on the white house, the senate,, and the house. there is not a republican involved here. i do not think we will have one because of that. if we were, it would be a signal of legislative incompetence. you should be able to at least pass a continuing resolution. host: do think that is the easy one this week for democrats? guest: absolutely. host: what is the hard-won -- hard one this week for democrats? guest: the infrastructure framework bill. the progressives are going to have a hard time stomach getting a smaller bill that gives them less leverage in the senate with joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. whether or not they can get the infrastructure done knowing that challenge is ahead of them. host: for so long nancy pelosi has been known as somebody who has been able to avoid the interparty fighting in her caucus, something we see more in recent years on the republican side in the house. why is this interparty fighting happening now? do think it is overblown? guest: i th
