12 Apr, 2023
"Floor fight" = sàn chiến -> nghĩa là cuộc tranh luận có nguy cơ làm hỏng hội nghị, phiên họp của quốc hội.
Ví dụ
In this game of chicken, if the conservatives don’t blink and McCarthy refuses to back down, it could result in a chaotic (hỗn loạn) floor fight with House members taking multiple votes for speaker — something that has not happened in a century.
Both parties met last year to determine (xác định) their leadership, with Democrats selecting Jeffries and Republicans agreeing to nominate (vinh danh) McCarthy, but by a margin that signaled a possible floor fight ahead.
All but one of those multi-ballot speaker elections took place before the Civil War as the two-party system was evolving. Back then, floor fights were routine (công việc hằng ngày). A floor fight has only taken place once since the Civil War, exactly 100 years ago, when it took nine ballots for Rep. Frederick Gillett of Massachusetts to be elected speaker in 1923.
