On start with the news that happened over the weekend. New york times publishes an excerpt of a book coming out about the confirmation process for Justice Kavanaugh with new allegations and they say cooperation of an old one that we knew about. How does this play into campaign 2020, if at all . While it is early theres been a living question over the 2020 campaign. How will the serving court, as an issue, factor into the campaign . We saw in 2015 President Trump then candidate trump was able to use the issue of these judiciary as a motive meeting for us foris pumpkin voters to say you may not like me as a candidate if you want to ensure the conservatives are on the bencht you need to make sure im in the white house. Democrats with many of the older liberal justices heading up there in age have yet to make a forceful case on top of all the other arguments they are having on Health Care Policy about the future of the court. These new issues about Justice Kavanaugh new allegations any books could bring these issues about the Supreme Court and possible openings to the floor. What do you think is the state of play right now when you look at the fields . Where does the president stand and where do the many that are running on the democratic side, where do they stand right now . Its hard to see how he does not win theen republican nomination but he had some rivals like governor and congressman mark sanford, bill wells, former illinois congressman joe walsh so theres a group of lowprofile candidates to say the least who are trying to get traction in states like New Hampshire almost every poll shows President Trump with over 80 level among republican voters, if not higher at the 90 range. Hes almost certainly going to be the nominee. Its really about Vice President point. T this can he hold on to the polling meet he is held for much of the time if any candidate . We see senator warren rising and has a coherent message of economic populism and strength across the country and Campaign Building and for structure in many of the key states that the field is so big as a reporter and i dont like to print anything because of the state in the race things happen in politics and if candidates like senator harris, senator booker, mayor pete who could get traction this fall for whatever reason but for now you really see the centerleft of the party in some respects coalescing around Vice President biden but not totally with him on all levels. Is not surging ahead. The less energy in the Democrat Party is with senator warren and with senator sanders and other candidate. Senator sanders was the runnerup for the democratic nomination last time and will senator warren has gained a lot of support on the left senator sanders still has much support on the left. We want our viewers to join us for this conversation with your take on campaign 2020 with your candidate and why. What do you want these candidates to be talking about . Democrats 2 022 7488000 republicans 202 7488001 an independent 202 7488002 robert is here to take your questions and comments. What about 538ak and their notes of the president s Approval Rating. Trumps Approval Rating is slipping and 53. 7 disapprove, 41. 6 approve. When you look at the president s Approval Rating is not where the white house wanted to be or where his campaign wanted to be. They pay a price that politically. In 2018 across suburban restricts in the house we saw House Democrats do very well and as we look ahead to 202010 Campaign Advisers are concerned about the numbers and even in the recent special election in North Carolina suburban voters are treading toward the democrats in many areas of this country. And they look at that status or stat about the Approval Rating what it tells them when you have private conversations with republican officials that they need to stoke the turnout among the republican base. If they cant count on just having general approval among rank and file suburban voters. They need to make sure new voters and poor trump voters come out in 2020. Thats why the president will be in new mexico on monday night having a rally and trying to get people in that sun belt part of the country where the democrats seem to be gaining in texas, florida so how did they get the trump voters excited again. Part of it is rallies and the focus on immigration. Can the president win a state like new mexico . The Trump Campaign did somewhat wellin states like new mexicoig and minnesota in 2016, unusual states for republicans to do wellin and did expand the map for a walk in states like wisconsin and pennsylvania and didnt like turning out voters who were more independent, populist, maybe not all participating in the political process. New mexico would be a reach, especially after treating it would be a real reach but this is part of the computing strategy. How do they bill this coalition . Most campaigns when they see the race is in wisconsin, ohio, pennsylvania they would smoke focused almost entirely on the midwest for thepe Trump Campaign is a National Movement on the right trying to get all these people who have voted for President Trump in the past excited again. The president will be holding a rally in new mexico this evening. Im p. M. Eastern time. You can watch that if you tune into cspan or go to our website, cspan. Org or download the free cspan radio app. We have coverage of that this evening. The president seizes ratings go down and hesse trying to expand his voting population its not necessarily expanding, i would say based on my reporting is trying to rally his own voters. The question of expanding, the choices you make on gun control. Suburban voters in many both like to see expanded background checks so he will make a choice about expanding his coalition. Does he put his Political Capital on gun control this fall . He has a limited time for the campaign season. In 2020. The new version of nafta closing Speaker Pelosi giving out a vote and will the president put his l litical weight into doing guncontrol or not . What to his face voters want him to be talking about . You talked about how to expand and needing to do something with Gun Legislation and trade so has the president focused enough on those issues .
