Charlie Kirk: 我正在关注一个重要故事，关于特朗普总统的“伟大法案”在国会中遇到的阻碍。这个法案需要通过预算调和程序，这意味着它必须符合特定的财政规定才能避免阻挠议事。目前，参议院议事员伊丽莎白·麦克多诺掌握着决定哪些条款可以保留的权力。她最近移除了一项禁止非法移民获得医疗补助的条款，这引起了广泛争议。虽然这并非最终决定，但她作为单一决策者的权力引发了对流程公正性的质疑。民主党人正在泄露有关议事员决定的信息，试图在政治上对我们不利。然而，我相信可以通过微小的语言调整来解决医疗补助问题。如果麦克多诺继续阻挠，我们可能需要采取行动，但现在重要的是保持冷静，让流程继续进行。总的来说，我认为让一个工作人员拥有如此大的权力是不合理的，应该有一个更透明和民主的决策过程。
