Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a House Republican, strategically waits after the State of the Union speech to engage with President Biden on local issues. LaMalfa's tactic of getting 1-on-1 moments with presidents has proven successful for his constituents, as TV networks cut away to analysts, leaving only C-SPAN to capture the interaction. Video footage shows LaMalfa's smart tactics in action, securing a 3-minute conversation with President Biden.
Remember the pre-edited video the White House released that had 28 separate jump cuts in under two minutes.? Here's an unedited reason why they had to do that. https://t.co/GF3hfhVzMD
