On this week's episode, we welcome back the "Gold Brothers," Marty Gold of Capitol Counsel and Rich Gold of Holland & Knight. The pair of political insiders walk us through what to expect from the legislative calendar in the next six months before members of Congress completely turn their attention to the midterm elections.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Marty explains both the history of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and how Congress is expected to address its ambiguities.
• Both Rich and Marty discuss their expectations for how senators on both sides will approach the Supreme Court confirmation process.
• And finally, they get into what can be salvaged from President Biden's Build Back Better legislation and whether or not Senator Manchin will be on board for any sort of proposal.
