hello and welcome to all our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the world, and streaming on cnn next. i'm rosemary church. just ahead on cnn newsroom, a major win for abortion rights advocates in ohio, and democrats take control of the virginia legislature. all this and more as we cover election results in key states across america. plus, intensifying the pressure on hamas. israeli forces say they have encircled gaza's largest city and are now inside. more on israel gaza operation in a live report. and g7 foreign ministers pledged to remain united as war rages in ukraine and in the middle east. thanks for joining us. well abortion is becoming a winning issue for democrats, as they celebrate key victories and fiercely fought u.s. elections. kentucky's governor, who campaigned on abortion rights won reelection tuesday, overcoming his trump backed challenger. >> this was our victory. [applause] it was a victory that sends a loud, clear message. a message that candidates should run for something and not against someone. [applause] >> and ohio has become the latest state to enshrines reproductive rights in that state's constitution with the passage of ballot measures one. meaning, despite republicans best efforts they won't be able to restrict abortion access before fetal viability, which is around 5 to 6 months of pregnancy. in virginia, democrats have won control of the state legislature, maintaining their grip on the senate. and flipping the house of delegates. abortion was not directly on the ballot but is believed to be a strong factor in the results. republicans did get a win in mississippi, governor tate reeves has won reelection, defeating democrat brand presley, the second cousin of elvis presley. more now on that historic abortion vote in ohio. cnn's kim law reports. >> abortion rights will be in shined in ohio state constitution. that is the result here in ohio, according to cnn projections. it is the first republican state to make such a move. this was a hard battle, fought on both sides of what is known as issue one, the effort to enshrine those rights in the state constitution. when cnn called the results of this election, projecting the results, i want you to take a listen to this room. it is a watch party of those who supported issue one. [cheering] >> you can hear the cheering for yourself. others, i actually saw a woman burst into tears. it was jubilation as those results were read. now, the supporters of issue one say that they want by trying to keep this as non partisan an issue as possible urging voters that this was about keeping government out of their lives. the group that was against issue once said in a statement it is heartbroken, but will regroup and aim to 2024 in battleground states. in regard to those battleground states, it is sending shockwaves through states like arizona, where abortion rights advocates are also trying to get such a measure on that 2024 ballot. a republican from arizona, a consultant, tells me tonight that his party should be, quote, scared. kyung lah, cnn, columbus, ohio. so we are one year out from election day, 2024. any new stand-in poll shows that in a hypothetical rematch, former president donald trump has a narrow lead over president joe biden. 49% of registered voters picked trump with 45% going for biden.. our poll also shows support for biden is significantly weakened, now among several groups that he previously won by wide mamargins. including people under 35, women and black and latino voters. and i want to bring in our panel of political commentators, maria cardona is one of the democratic strategist, and alex do it is a republican strategist. welcome to you both. >> thanks rosemary. >> so, i want to start with you. so, despite this bad pulling, these bad polling numbers for president joe biden in recent days, tuesday night delivered big wins for democrats in kentucky, virginia and ohio. so what is the overall message here for republicans? and what might the signal for the 2024 presidential election? >> well it's a tremendous win for democrats in that they are traditionally, obviously more pro abortion. but, look what republicans need to do is to realize as hard as the pro-life community has fought, rosemary, for overturning roe v. wade and putting the choice of abortion in the hands at the state level with elected officials on the state level as opposed to unelected justices, they have to knowledge the fact that every time abortion has been an issue on the ballot, in states, the pro-life community has lost. people have voted to continue to protect the right to have an abortion at the state level. so it's incumbent upon republicans to recognize we need to change the conversation or bushy limits. and what is an acceptable level and some say 15, weeks others say more, other say less, and also about what we can do to help the mothers in the situation. the women who are pregnant, and need help from whether it is the government, or from the private sector. , and that's where the conversation needs to go -- and i think when we look at virginia democrats the concern for that those who wonder who cares about the state of virginia and how this house senate is. traditionally, how the virginia senate wilts in the year before presidential election. that candidate wins. so, that bodes well for president biden, given that the virginia senate is now back in democratic cans. >> and, maria, how should democrats be reading this despite these big ones, tuesday? president biden is in big trouble, isn't he? if recent polls are to be believed, putting him behind donald trump on a range of issues. the voters can't seem to get past president biden's age, even though it's only a few years older than trump. so how do the democrats plan to deal with this one year around from the election? >> well that's exactly right, rosemary. it is one year out from the election. polls this far out are not predictive of the outcome. especially when you have such a great night, for such a critical issue that has been front and center, for democratic winds since roe v. wade was overturned. we saw this happen in 2022, rosemary. and i'm sure alison i were on your program when so many were predicting a red wave right before the 2022 elections. except for me, of course. i knew that abortion and threats to democracy we're going to be key going into the 2022 midterms one democrats also had a great night. and i think that's going to, exactly, be the case in 2024. and i think the problem with republicans, dear friend alice, just demonstrated. it is that they shouldn't be talking about anything except for letting women make decisions about their own bodies, with their families, with their doctors. and with their faith. if that is something that they adhere to. period. that's it. no one should put a limit on that except for women. and, women are standing up to say, no politician, no government official, no elected leader should be in the room with me while i make a decision that is critical about my family, about how and when i should raise a child. that is one of the most personal, intimate freedoms and rights that we have as americans. and until republicans understand that, they are going to continue to lose elections. until going into 2024, there is no question that biden has work to do with all of his coalition. but that is exactly what the campaign is focused on. the rolling up their sleeves. they're having a great night, tonight, celebrating. then they're gonna roll up their sleeves, and focus on communicating this message, along with threats to democracy and continuing the job of boosting the economy going into 2024. >> right, and allison, get this. because all three wins did have some linked to abortion, didn't? they will look at that big win for abortion advocates with ohio residents voting to in shrine reproductive rights in their states constitution. let's look again at what this might signal for the 2024 presidential race because you are saying that they might have to consider compromise, this limits the do mentioned, maybe agreed to 15 weeks. but as we heard from maria, you know, she wants to see. it and most people in america, it's actually quite split. they want to see women having access to abortion. some would say that they want to have some sort of limit on their. but how does that change the conversation for republicans? because you've got some far right individuals, who would not compromise on this. >> right, and that's not a viable path to the future. with regard to advocating for the pro-life issue. we have to understand, there is a place where we can't agree. nikki haley made a very great answer, in response to, this one of the debates where she talked about let's find an issue where we're not demonizing the women. we're not punishing the women. we're not punishing the doctors. we're not making this an issue where, a woman who is in this situation is the victim and is the bad person here. and let's look at where can we agree. because the alternative and, maria, i'm sure my dear friend will push back on this. some democrats are fine with abortion up until nine months, in the third trimester. that is absolutely something that should not ever happen. and people say that's not an option but it is if you don't put a limit on it, there is no limit. so it's important to make sure that we discuss where can we agree on this issue but also, we also have to have republicans make the concession, unnecessary concession but there has to be exceptions for the case of, incest and help of the mother. because we cannot steer from that. there are situations where people, whether it's the victim of, incest or life or health of the mother, those decisions need to be taken into account when we're talking about legislating such an important decision. >> maria -- >> rosemary. >> i know you want to respond to that, and please do. but i also want you to focus on how the democrats are planning to harness these result that prove the reproductive rights are big for voters. >> absolutely. i just want to clarify something that my friend allison, there is no democrat that i know today that is advocating for abortion, up until the time of delivery. that is just a lie, misinformation that republicans are spreading and it's absolutely not true. can americans understand that this is a decision that should be in the hands of women and their doctors. and look, the reason why women see any limits 15 waits as frankly, a ban on abortion is because so many women have different circumstances. one woman is completely different from the circumstance of another woman. and you cannot legislate the uniqueness of women's bodies and the tragic things that might occur later on in their pregnancies. you just can't legislate that. so you have to give women, and their doctors the freedom to decide what is best for them for their lives, for their babies, for their families. period. and, again until republicans understand that they're going to keep losing elections. so you know, what bring it on. continue to make this a focus of their elections. and democrats will continue to win. that's exactly what democrats are going to do going into 2024, rosemary, to your question about how we're going to harness this when. the same way that we have up until now. by not making it a democratic issue. by not making it a progressive issue. by making it an american issue focused on personal freedom and personal liberty which, republicans are trying to take away. which republicans as an extremist position are trying to tell women what to do. and, women and men, and families and americans across the board including a good sliver of republicans are standing up to say, no. >> maria cardona, alice stewart, many thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much rosemary. >> and still to come, the latest on the war between israel and hamas as israeli forces in circle and say they head into the largest city in the palestinian territory. back in just a moment. to gaza, now where israeli forces are pressing their military offensive, tightening their grip on the besieged territory and its main city. israel's defense minister said the idf is at the heart of gaza city. and prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israeli forces are not operating inside and putting severe pressure on hamas. we >> gaza city is encircled. we are operating in silent. we are increasing pressure on hamas every hour, every day. we have killed thousands of terrorist. above ground and below ground. >> however, the biden administration is, once again, warning israel against occupying gaza. that came hours after mr. netanyahu said that israel will have the overall security responsibility in the territory once the war ends. but israel's defense minister said there's only two certainties right now about who will run gaza once hamas is wiped out. >> translator: and i want to say one more thing, that at the end of this conflict there will be no hamas and gaza. >> let's go to journalist, elliott gotkine who joins us live from london. good morning to you elliott, so are you learning about the military operation in gaza city, around as a city or this warning from the biden administration to israel's -- -- in his words, overall security, responsibility for an indefinite period. now i think that both words were deliberately vague. want to give israel maximum flexibility, as to what does come the day after the sports over. and also because he doesn't really know himself exactly what is going to have been inside the gust trip up to this war is over. now we heard from the defense minister saying there's not gonna be israel governing the gaza strip, and it's not gonna be hamas governing the gaza strip. but assuming those two things occur, what are the other options? well, i suppose the most convenient option would be tough the palestinian authority, which administers parts of the israeli occupied west bank to come back into the gaza strip which it lost control of when it was violently rested from it by hamas in 2007. but of course the leader of the palestinian authority is anyway, lacking legitimacy among the people and he's now in his 19th year of a four-year term and you could hardly seem riding in israeli thanks into the gaza strip to take control. although he did, stay with u.s. -- anthony blinken that it would be a possibility but only if there were major strides towards an independent palestinian state with east jerusalem, as its capital. right, now of course, this seems pretty fentanyl. so what are the other options? maybe some type of key piecing force for the u.s. or a friendly arab state could be a possibility as well. and i suppose, there's also the possibility, for a period of time, for israel to take control. but although there are far-right ministers in the governing coalition, who would like nothing more than for israel to reoccupy the gaza strip on the ground, as it did from 1967 until 2005, that also seems incredibly likely. and we had that warning from the white house against the possibility of this happening. but i don't think there are really any easy solutions, or any obvious solutions that are likely to happen. and i think that the cold reality, as well israel is focused on this military campaign, entering gaza city, which it sees as a kind of headquarters for hamas to try and feed those 240 hostages, they're still being held by militants in the gaza strip. that is the focused. and i don't think a huge amount of thought has really gone into what happens the day after this wars over. >> illegal can, we thank you for that live report from london. appreciated. >> while the foreign ministers from the g7 member countries are meeting right now in tokyo. the group is discussing several issues, including reiterating their support for ukraine amid russian aggression. and condemning north korea's repeated ballistic missile launches and arms transfers to moscow. but they are still working towards a joint language to address the war between israel and hamas. cnn's marc stewart joins me now live from beijing with more on this. so, mark, what is expected to come out of this g7 meeting of foreign ministers in the end? will they be able to pin down the language there are happy with? >> hi there rosemary. that is the big challenge. to create some kind of statement. a unified voice. especially when it comes to the, israel-hamas war. these are economic giants. and their words certainly carries some weight. and the wording of it is really what could cause some trickiness and difficulty in all of this. for example, some g7 nations are very much in favor of using the phrase, cease-fire. but that's not something the united states, especially secretary of state anthony blinken is so keen on. he is often suggested he prefers the phrase, he monetary and pause. as to which would happen next in this conflict. so that's going to certainly be a point of conversation. secretary of state, anthony blinken, expected to take the lead in many regards in this conversation about the statement. he just arrived in japan, from the middle east. where he had meetings in israel, turkey, as well as the west bank. so, he has some fresh eyes, some fresh perspective on all of this. so expect for him to take some kind of role in negotiating all of it. despite the difficulty with israel and hamas, we are seeing some unity on other fronts among the g7 nations. including the war in ukraine. once, again g7 nations have expressed their support for ukraine in fact going as far as saying that it's very necessary to have this unified voice to advance the process of a peace formula. so, on that point, they are very much block stepped. also, we're hearing condemnation from the g7 again. towards north korea. and, it's continued ballistic missile testing as well as allegations of arms transfers to russia. rosemary, it is still afternoon time in tokyo, so perhaps, perhaps we will get some indication as to where the g7 this heading with israel and hamas in the hours ahead. >> all, right we will talk. next, marc stewart joining us live from beijing. many things. >> the u.s. state that leaves republican has just passed two controversial ballot measures. we will discuss the vote to protect abortion rights and legalized recreational marijuana. back with that and more in just a moment. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? have we piqued your interest? you can get two unlimited lines for just $30 each a month. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible. results from the latest u.s. election are sinking in and it's becoming clear, abortion rights are popular. no matter where or where they're on the ballot. and democrats are reaping the rewards, they're celebrating key winds in virginia where they swept the legislature hanging on to the senate and taking control of the house of delegates. that's after the virginia governor vowed to outlaw abortion after 15 weeks in most cases had republicans one full control. in ohio, voters have chosen to insure an abortion rights in their state constitution. , and in deeply republican kentucky, democratic governor andy beshear won reelection after campaigning on reproductive rights so let's go now to cnn senior political analyst, ron brownstein in los angeles. senior editor of the atlantic. always good to have you with us. >> hi rosemary. >> so democrats are getting mixed messages on voters, on one hand celebrating these big wins in kentucky, virginia and ohio. on the other they're trying to make sense of recent troubling poll numbers for president joe biden. and putting him behind donald trump in a hypothetical rematch, what do you make of all of this? and what might it reveal about voting intentions come 2024? >> well, first, as i say in the atlantic tomorrow morning on a preview tonight the democrats continue to perform better at the polls than in the polls, right? i mean this continues a pattern where they have outperformed their 2020 results in a whole series of special elections through the year. and the 2022 midterm. when republicans gained much less than they expected. and much less than the party doug power than the white house typically austin when people are dissatisfied with the president. i think he can't square the circle. and the way i look at this, is that the polls are telling us one thing that israel. and that is that americans are dissatisfied with president biden's leadership, they're unhappy about the economy and the question whether he has the physical and intellectual capacity to do the job for another four years. but what these elections are telling us is that even when all of those doubts are prent, when you have an actual campaign that focuses voter attention on whether they want to republicans with power, they may choose to vote for democrats anyway. despite all those dots about biden. and that instinct is especially powerful in the large metro areas, the urban centers and inner suburbs that were the consistent threat in the results tonight. wasn't kentucky, virginia, ohio or pennsylvania for the state supreme court election. and all of those creations democrats dominated in the population center where the trump era republican cultural agenda is a pretty consistently unpopular. >> and ron on the other side of the political divide what is the message for republicans here in the wake of these big wins for democrats, tuesday night? including, of course ohio residents voting to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitution? >> well look republicans have lots of reasons to be optimistic. like i said, the doubts about biden are real. you can't just wave them away from these election results. but i think the message for republican says that the biggest problem they have had in the last few corrections, really since trump became a dominant figure in the party is still there. which is that in these well educated and diverse populists and mostly prosperous inner suburbs there are too many voters who questioned whether democrats are delivering further interest, those still won't vote for republicans because they consider them a threat to the rights and their values and to democracy itself. and it does suggest that it is premature to assume that all of those doubts about donald trump and the trump era gop cultural agenda had dissipated in those places. i think, right now the polls are telling us that we are seeing a lot of dissatisfaction with biden. that is primarily what is being registered in the polls. what these election results are telling us is that when you have campaigns that can focus voters on the choice, and ask them to also consider whatever their doubts about democrats, whether they want trump stalled republicans in position to implement their agenda on abortion, on both, bent on voting and other issues you can get a very different result in a broad array of states. but consistently, in those big suburban and -- >> ron brownstein, always a pleasure to get your political analysis. many things. >> thanks for having me. >> and stillll to come, bobouncg back in ththe face of climate change. parts of t the great b barrier f are now warning new coral. giving hope to scientists who are trying to protect it. back with that in just a moment. c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network. climate scientists have released new data showing 2023 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. the european climate change service reports that october was the warmest october on record, globally within our surface near temperature of zero point 85 degrees celsius, above the average for the previous three decades. and this graph shows the 2023 monthly temperatures and bright red, despite a slight dip in october. each month, since june has set a new global temperature record. and sea surface temperatures are also setting record highs this year which corresponds to six consecutive months that the tactic sea ice has remained at record low levels. they're considered the greatest threats to the world's coral reefs. the parts of australia's great barrier reef are showing some resiliency with coral now starting to regenerate. scientists are welcoming the news has they lobbied the australian government to do more to protect this natural wonder. cnn'n's ivan watsoson hahas our rereport. > nigighttime on austraralias great barrier reef. the sea explodes in an otherworldly spectacle. this is coral spawning, one of the world's greatest natural wonders, made up of billllions f living creatures that reproduce like this each year.r. and d this season n has scientis excited. >> we were out diving until ababout 11:00 last night looking at the cross spawning, and we were lucky enough to s see some ofof the specieses spawning. not all of it, but we saw the soft corals and they filled up the water with bundles of eggs and sperm, which was really spectacular. >> the spectacular sight is a type of synchronized breeding. coral polyps release millions of sperm and egg bundles into the water all at once. when two males from the same species collide, new life is born. it is a display of nature's resilience, repeated around this time of year r across the great barrier reefs nearly 133,000 square miles. but while some parts of the rereef remain hehealthy, other parts are bleaching and dying,g, killeded by temperatature risese to glolobal warming.g. >> thehey are a bit t like goldilocks, they need the tetemperature anand other conditions to be just riright. if they go outsiside of those boundaries, we have this phenomenon called coral bleaching. >> scienentists in australia are studying ways to boost the chances for successful reprproduction. right now,w, it is naturure that holds the key to the reef's survival. >> this process, the sexual reproduction, which is what's going on, is also one of the ways in which you get natural adaptations to changing conditions. now, one of the big challenges with climate change is that it is happening so fast that it may mean genetic variability is not able to keep up with that. nonetheless, it is really important that the process is happening. >> the coral spawning at more reefs near the city of cannes gives hope that this wonder of the world might still be rescued. the speed at which we transition to clean energy and the degree to which our planet warms will determine how much of the great barrier reef can be saved. ivan watson, cnn. extraordinary images there. thank you so much for joining us. some roads may church. for our international viewers. , world sports is coming up next. and for our viewers here in the united states and canada, i'll be back with more cnn newsroom in just a moment. please stay with us. how warm welcome back to our viewers in north america, i'm rosemary church. more than a year after the u.s. supreme court overturned the law that legalized abortion, voters in ohio have handed a victory to reproductive rights advocates. cnn projects ohio will approve a measure that insurance abortion rights into its state constitution. abortion advocates are working to get similar measures on the 2024 ballot in o other statetes. some of which have restricted access to abortion, including arizona and florida. and that's become one of the big takeaways from tuesday's elections. abortion rights matter to many voters in crucial swing states. cnn's jeff zeleny explains. >> for the next year the republicans tried to win the senate, keep their narrow majority in the house and indeed win back the white house, abortion will be front and said inter in their strategy. the lessons of tuesday night elections, in virginia, in ohio, and in kentucky certainly serve as a reminder that abortion is still a very potent issue. and now it has become a motivating factor for democrats. of course, since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade with the dobbs decision, a little more than a year ago, there are so many examples now. election, after election where republicans are largely on the losing side of this argument. we're going to see much of this at a republican presidential debate here in miami on wednesday. there has been a different viewpoint to some degree about the way forward on abortion. nikki haley for example, the former south carolina governor has struck around. now donald, trump for his part, will not be participating in the debate. but he has tried to not dwell on abortion. he believes it's a losing issue in the words that he has spoken to some of his advisors. but look for democrats to try to turn this to their advantage over the next year, in fact it could be one of their big motivating factors so there is no doubt. as republicans try to win control of the senate, hold their narrow majority in the house, and win back the white house, abortion will be front and center. >> jeff selanee, cnn, miami. >> joining me now is lindley, a political strategist and women co-chair of the democratic national committee. appreciate you being with us. >> rosemary, thank you so much for having me. >> so we have been watching key votes across america that could potentially signal the direction of the 2024 presidential race. and ohio has been one of the most closely watched, were residents just voted to protect abortion rights by enshrining them in the state constitution. what is your reaction to that result? and how significant is this do you think? >> this is so significant, and it wasn't just a victory. it was a resounding victory. and republicans did everything they could to prevent this from happening. over the summer they put a vote before the people to raise the threshold acceptance to 60%. which would've made it much harder to defeat this. but people batted it down. just like they batted it down today. issue one in front of the right to abortion, not only abortion though but to all sorts of reproductive decisions. and it keeps these very vital and very important intimate decisions between a woman and her doctor, where it should be. and it's incredible because we also have to keep in mind that this is the very state that forced a ten-year-old victim to travel to indiana to get abortion care. she was denied care in her own home state. and then she was attacked by representative jim jordan who denied her story. and then refused to apologize once she was exposed. and representative jim smith of ohio also caught her in an opportunity. so today is a victory not just for women, but for everyone who believes in a woman and a girl's right to have control over their own bodies. >> and then the, in the last couple of days we have seen some pretty tough polling numbers for president joe biden, putting him behind donald trump on a range of issues. however, reproductive rights have a course become a central issue for president biden and his party. but we'll democratic voters be fired up enough about this controversial issue? the thing, to turn out in sufficient numbers come november 2024? given republicans, they're also motivated by this issue. we >> rosemary, that's an wa to remind everyone today that today is a reminder that women have not forgotten about dobbs, we haven't forgotten they've taken away our reproductive rights. they took away our bodily autonomy. and it's been more than a year. but the pain is still there. and it's going to propel us to victory in 2024 and despite all the naysayers, despite all the dots this rest at the heart, the core of what it means to be a woman. we're not gunnison relinquish, and pointed that. this is something that lights a fire under the bus of women, young people, allies. everybody. and this isn't just about women's rights >> but it's also about having -- it's also about game a, urges about privacy, it's about making decisions. it's about birth control. it opens the floodgates to everything. so this impacts every facet of american life. >> and then the ever since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, republicans have been pushing through restrictive antiabortion legislations in some red states. but democrats have won in all six states that puck abortion on the ballot. enough course ohio can be added to that list. so how might these winds change the trajectory of the fight for reproductive rights at the state level? >> i think that this is a model we could replicate in many different states. we saw this in kansas where pro fourth birth, they spent $3 million and more trying to ban abortion. we saw this in ohio, just today. they lost. so we're gonna keep doing this again. and one should also be aware that glenn youngkin, the governor of virginia promised to pass an abortion ban if he were able to win a trifecta in virginia. tonight he was denied that trifecta. and so he's not able, he will not be able to implement the abortion ban that he promised. the governor of kentucky, the governor andy beshear who is in a ruby red state promised to keep abortion legal. what she demonstrates that wherever democrats run on abortion they win. this is about life, if you cannot control your body nothing else matters. the stress of the core of humanity. so this demonstrates that reproductive rights will continue to be a winning issue everywhere. and this is the very issue that biden and democrats need to propel young people who are otherwise on shirt to the polls. this is no joke. you know, we should vote like our life depends on it because in this case, it literally does. >> a powerful message, lindy lead joining us here and showing her perspective on this issue on the outcome in ohio. many things. appreciate it. >> thank you so much. >> the u.s. house of representatives voted to pass a resolution to censor democratic women rashida for her comments criticizing the israeli government and supporting palestinians amid the israel-hamas war. philippe is the only palestinian american in congress. cnn's manu raju has more now from washington. >> tuesday night, a bipartisan house majority voted to censure rashida tlaib, the palestinian american congresswoman, someone who is a sharp critic of israel. and especially its conduct in this war. she had recently used remarks that have been widely condemned and used by hamas as a rallying cry calling for the destruction of the jewish state, from the river to the sea. that phrase, she contended, was meant as a more peaceful phrase, but that has not been how it's been interpreted here, especially in light of her recent criticism of israel, criticism that has come from even members of her own party. in fact, the bipartisan majority voted to censure her. 22 democrats voted in favor of this resolution. it was 234 to 188. the four republicans who voted against it. essentially, there is a public reprimand of rashida tlaib. centers are typically rarely used in the past, but becoming increasingly used in recent years. but in the aftermath of this vote, democrats were sharply divided on this question. >> when you're uttering phrases like from the river to the sea, you're not simply advocating for the creation of a palestinian state, you're advocating for the destruction of israel as a jewish state. and that crosses a line no member of congress should ever. crosses hate speech.
