"Senator Zhao Ying, actually, we can still discuss the details of the bill."
"Senator Paddy, of course, we can discuss, but right now we should focus on supporting Jenny's bill."
"I understand, and I will definitely support it, but..."
"Why don't we find an opportunity to have a meal with senators from other committees tomorrow?"
"This..."
"Let's build some rapport with everyone."
"Sounds good, sounds good."
Senator Paddy still hasn't completely given up.
Although the bill already considers his original proposal, it can't fully accommodate it.
So, Paddy still wants to talk to other senators in the committee about it.
That is, to do some 'lobbying.'
In the United States, 'lobbying' is a very legitimate political tool, so much so that Washington has many 'lobbying companies.'
To put it bluntly, these so-called 'lobbyists' can influence the final decisions of legislators or senators, which is their vote.
And how to influence them... there are definitely ways.
