0:00.0	And it sounds like she's held it really close to the best about who she's thinking about for
0:04.0	those impeachment affairs. I haven't read a single name anywhere. It's kind of great. I mean,
0:07.6	I applaud her for that. I think that's incredibly difficult to do in modern Washington. And so, well done.
0:17.7	This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant Suit Politics, the home of grace filled political
0:23.2	conversations.
0:30.0	Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining us for another episode of Pant Suit Politics. We have a lot
0:41.7	to cover today in our main segment. We're going to talk about the rules in the Senate once an
0:47.4	impeachment trial kicks off. We've had lots of questions about this. There has been ad nauseam

1:32.2	Senator Cory Booker announced that he is suspending his campaign for president.
1:37.4	As most of you know, Senator Booker was my top choice. He's the person that I have donated the most
1:42.1	to and kept the most tabs on in terms of what his campaign is doing behind the scenes.
1:47.1	So I am really bummed. And I just, I'm frustrated because this feels premature and unnecessary to
1:54.8	me, but I also get that it is a hugely expensive thing to continue running a campaign, especially a
2:02.6	campaign like this one when the field doesn't show any signs of compressing in significant ways
2:10.9	until deep into March. And so if you're not emerging from Iowa and New Hampshire with some momentum
