The Epstein vote, the odds of a Trump veto, and the odds of 2/3 of Congress overriding it [View all]
I'm not going to be a pessimist over this, but as someone who lived through "Fitzmas" and "The Mueller Report," I'm not taking a victory lap until the situation warrants one. Trump can make a lot of threatening phone calls before Tuesday, and even more if his veto becomes a reality. I think this has to pass with a veto-proof majority the first time, or it won't pass at all.Trump may end up facing a veto-proof revolt when it comes to the Epstein files, according to a MSNOW panel.
MSNOW's The Weekend took questions from viewers on Sunday, including one individual who tried to pour cold water on the upcoming Epstein release vote.
"Any vote to release Epstein files will be vetoed by Trump, then sent back to the House and Senate, where it will require a two thirds majority to override the veto in both chambers. Isn't it folly to think that these will ever be released?" the viewer asked. "No way will two thirds of them vote to override his veto."
