[0:00] But they have the power of the veto. So
[0:02] if we don't like what they're doing or
[0:03] they'll they've already called and they
[0:05] want to talk about things and that's
[0:07] fine.
[0:08] >> CBS News White House reporter Olivia
[0:10] Raldi joins us now from our Washington
[0:12] bureau. Olivia, good morning. Great to
[0:14] have you uh kick off our hour. How are
[0:17] Republicans dealing with what is just
[0:20] widespread defeat.
[0:21] >> Well, good morning, Arrol. Republicans
[0:23] are certainly licking their wounds and
[0:25] trying to figure out just how this
[0:27] happened. And you saw the vice

[0:56] early in the primaries by President
[0:58] Trump. And he said that this is close to
[1:01] an extinction level for Democrats. And
[1:04] also while noting that in Florida, a
[1:07] state where he is still governor up
[1:09] until January, that is the one state
[1:11] where Democrats did not have any major
[1:13] gains. So important to look there for
[1:15] how he was governing and perhaps what he
[1:17] may run on if he chooses to run in 2028.
[1:20] But we also heard from Texas Senator Ted
[1:23] Cruz where certainly Democrats had a
[1:25] really good
