Lisa Desjardins:
Republicans walked away quite happy tonight, William, because one thing they wanted they got, which was direct talks with the Biden White House, no more negotiating with everyone else, including Senate Leader McConnell for the Republicans or Hakeem Jeffries from the House side, Democrats.
This will be between the two major sources of power in this — in the city, House Republicans and the White House. And there's something significant too about who House Republicans will be having negotiating on behalf. One of their negotiators is Louisiana Republican Representative Garret Graves.
He's someone who was a longtime Hill staffer, importantly, on the Energy and Commerce Committee. He's from Baton Rouge, William, and that's significant, because one of the top issues for Garret Graves, one of the things he's an expert at is that permitting reform that Laura just talked about
So, and we look at what issues are going to be more important going down potentially the homestretch here, permitting reform. That could affect energy drilling environment. All of that, to me, I think is rising very quickly now. House Republicans say they're unified. And they do see this as debt ceiling and budget talks together.
And I think we're still going to face a stare-down, but they're happy today that now, from their point of view, the real negotiations are starting.
