Jacobs on Republicans Voting Against Trump: I Think My Colleagues Decided that They’re More Beholden to the American People Than to Musk and Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
WITT: “Yeah, we have to see the extent to come he’s going to have influence in the days ahead. Despite Donald Trump’s threat to Republicans they’re going to be primaried if they don’t abolish or extend the debt limit, 38 of your Republican voted against the first Trump back billed and 170 Republicans voted for the continuing resolution that also did not include the debt limit provision. Does this signal there are limits to Trump’s power?”

JACOBS: “I mean I certainly hope so, right? I think it’s going to come down to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle deciding that they are more beholden to the American people than to Elon Musk and Donald Trump. And we are starting to see that, but I don’t want to give them too much credit yet because this was an early vote. We’re going to wait and see and hope they’re going to continue doing the right thing when it comes down to it.”
