Burnet emerges as a razor-edge legislator in welfare reform's savage reauthorization grind, his vote evaporating under Amy's prediction as Josh's nine-point edge frays. Marriage incentives clash against job-training imperatives, positioning Burnet in the crossfire where White House pragmatism buckles against principled defection. Amid breakfast-table accusations of pandering to independents, he anchors the swing bloc—Bristol, Keith—threatening to torch Josh's concessions and ignite broader ideological inferno.
