    Maybe if she can get into the position where she can do something.

            Yep. And they had hammered out a deal on the border led by one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate until Trump had it killed.

            Even then, the decision comes down to the president who has veto power to decide whether the bill becomes law or not.

              the president who has veto power

              Congress can, and periodically does, override presidential vetoes. If you’ve got the most conservative Republicans in the Senate on board, it sounds like an override is in the cards.

              Past that, vetoes don’t create policy.

      I put up a comment about it yesterday, but I’m predicting Oct 12- 16th for a pivot.

      Specifically, these debates mostly nothing At this point, if you were going for Trump, there is no debate performance that is going to change that. Likewise for Harris voters. As well, we’re just about past the point where voter registration is going to change anything. Just about the last 2 weeks of September and the state which matter won’t be accepting new registrations.

      So it’s down to people that are likely voters who are still withholding for some policy positions.
