of the president's seat to appeal to the racism and nativism of some of his supporters to gin up and galvanize white voters to turn out in these states to make a difference for trump in the election. we saw him do this, by the way, in the 2016 cam paper and in the closing weeks of the 2018 midterms where president trump talked a lot about race and stoked these divisions. but for this to be going on through the 2020 campaign, which is more than a year out from now, this could be a very ugly year of campaigning and divisive rhetoric from the president and also stoking a lot of divisions in the country. we'll see how the democrats respond to it. but it's very much central to his re-election strategy as ashley reported. >> we sort of went from one straight to the other. the point annie was making. yeah, we had a little bit of a break for mueller. is this something he could keep up for more than a year at this pace? >> sure.
