President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's continued disputes are theater aimed at their respective Republican and Democratic voter bases, according to Byron York. York claimed Thursday on "Special Report" Trump and Pelosi are "playing for their bases" and motivated by trying to keep their voters happy. "The Democratic base wants to see Nancy Pelosi stand up to President Trump, and the Republican base wants to see President Trump stand up to Nancy Pelosi." Her comments came after Trump cut short a White House meeting on infrastructure, with the president demanding Democrats halt their "phony investigations" before moving forward. However, despite saying it is still largely theater at present, York said serious political ramifications could be on the table if the dispute continues to fester.
