House floor

Donald stood up.

"I beg to differ Mr. Speaker. This amendment handles something to do with money, so this must be included!" Donald looked at Rossi directly. "Maybe you should stick to what you're good at. Stuttering and being a stupid person." He finished with a smile.

Stevenson looked gratefully at Rossi and winced at the insult but didn't say anything back. "Why do we have to put up with them?" She muttered under her breath loud enough for Yang to hear.

“The press will still be there if whether we vote or not. I personally don’t want Progressives twisting our walkout into campaign ads that say we didn’t stand up for gay marriage. We might have the right intentions, but intentions don’t help much when we campaign. I really think we should vote and then walk out before votes are tallied.”

“Either way, do you have the drug bill? I’ll tell Stevenson that I’ll get the Johnsons to back off and we’ll vote for her bill if herself and two other Republicans will vote for your drug bill.”
