think it s worse now. i just did a podcast where they said if we don t have profound reform of our bureaucracies, we will decay, period. whether it s the pentagon, school system, the department of transportation. the fact is our bureaucracies are tired, incompetent. filled with red tape and not getting the job done and nobody in the democratic party will take on the public employee unions and nobody in the democratic party will take on the teachers unions. we will continue to decline unless we get a decisive election where the american people choose profound change. we ll see if that can happen in 2024. without profound change this is a country that won t be the leading country in the world in the next 20 or 25 years. harris: there is some argument over whether or not that particular country is now china. and you could sit and talk for
between primary and general. if you can get through your primary without, let s talk about 2024. without trump, for some of the senate races, endorsing you. but you re in a close race, i m in the business of be coalitions. maybe you try to pull those trump voters but not have trump be your leading force. i think that s what walker is trying to do. too little too late because he was selected by trump. that s glenn youngkin, maybe. exactly. and you ll remember in 2014, herschel walker emerged as a great surrogate for a candidate. you have no business being in the world s greatest deliberative body if you can t name basic policy positions, clearly on the abortion issue, one of the most important issues facing our country. what do you make of walker as a candidate? i ve been very vocal about this. not because i don t want republicans to have majorities.
desantis leads by 8 points in a hypothetical 2024 primary match up. that s a reversal from january when the same poll had trump leading desantis by 7 points. john lemire, we know this will get under the skin of the former president in his home state. now also a florida man. this is a reversal, certainly is noted. we should tap the brakes. we have seen the former president trump s approval rating has declined over the summer, in the wake of mar-a-lago search. had he is down in florida. republicans in desantis s home state like the job he s doing. yesterday there was a politico national poll which had trump over desantis, 52-19. most polls are more in that line with the conclusion that his popularity has slipped some, he is by far the dominant force and would be the favorite in 2024. without question. home state of florida. he ll be truth socialing about it.
but still embraces a former president very. a lot of my opponents are looking backwards at 2020 bitter republicans in ohio went to stop the biting crisis and look forward to 2024. without being able to appeal to that republican supporter base or the trump supporter base is there a viable path to winning the primary? quick to make a big assumption there as well. go back to where we started. when voters start looking at what trump did as a republican president what matt doland has done as a republican state senator for ohio, the similarities and policy are striking. on the issues, these candidates are similar. in many ways its abrasive personalities and that is why the trump endorsement became sell them the importance. the former president ignored the wishes of 40 ohio gop officials who signed a letter asking him to stay out of the primary. they were all doing well on an equal footing, competing with each other. competing on the ideas.
