Tobacco Subcommittee

Description

Bruno hauls Josh into the hallway crossfire, shredding him for unleashing press releases on the Tobacco Subcommittee too soon—a congressional flashpoint primed for squeezing funds and headlines against teetering Rep. Kalmbach. The blunder vaporizes leverage in swing-state infernos like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio, where razor-timed attacks could have garroted GOP incumbents mid-campaign, splintering re-election steel under Bruno's campaign colossus glare and exposing raw staff fault lines.
