On November 5th, the one-year anniversary of the 2024 Election Day, the GOP-led House passed a bill providing $14 billion in aid to Israel, defended by Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise. However, the bill has no chance of survival in the Senate and President Joe Biden has vowed to veto it. At the same time, journalist James Fallows and Washington Post reporter Marianna Sotomayor discussed the upcoming election at the Dubliner, an Irish pub on Capitol Hill, noting that "everything is at stake" and that the election will turn on big fundamentals of economics and people's sense of the world.
