"Tur asked the senator why he trusted the White House to make good on any promises to negotiate better health care for Americans. Oh, I don't trust the White House, Kaine said. The commitments I've told you are now written into statute. I trust my Senate Republican colleagues that we will have a vote. It's not on a guaranteed outcome. Still, Kane added, I think it's a fight we can win."
"TUR: I will quote your fellow Democrats. KAINE: There's differences of opinion. TUR: Gavin Newsom calls it pathetic. Hakeem Jeffries, complete BS. KAINE: Please, go ahead! TUR: AOC says, This is not about a base of voters. This is about people's lives. KAINE: And, Katie, guess what? Guess what? TUR: Chris Murphy says it makes Donald Trump stronger. This is a moment that demands fighters. Not folders."
Sen. Tim Kaine voted with seven other Democrats and Republicans to approve the House continuing resolution to reopen the government. Katy Tur pressed Kaine on whether he trusted the White House to honor promises to negotiate better health care. Kaine said he did not trust the White House but insisted commitments are written into statute and expressed confidence that Senate Republicans would allow a vote, though the outcome is not guaranteed. Tur quoted sharp Democratic criticism from Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, AOC and Chris Murphy. Kaine called the characterization overdramatic and said the news business tends to amplify crises.
