increase to fund a state tax doubling for people who have $22 milli million. that s what this is going to do. democrats have a better plan. ted liu, thanks so much. thank you. still ahead, president trump vowing to continue to campaign for republican candidates next year, but given roy moore s stunning loss in alabama s that the best strategy for republicans going forward? plus, firefighters pause to honor one of their own killed while fighting one of the largest fires in california history. that fire continuing to grow overnight. we will take you there live.
every district. even president barack obama by the time he was in office a year or two was not welcome in every district for reelection. he could raise money, but in particular for republicans, i think that there is going to be a radioactive factor with president trump. i think democrats will be the ones decks tending the invitation. in mid-terms, the presidents are often unpopular and not desired in the races, but in this case it s worse than usual. he will do two things. one is he has the potential to depress turn out with republicans in the swing districts and swing states as we saw in alabama. he might mobilize the obama coalition as we saw in alabama in a way democrats can t do themselves. in both cases president trump s involvement could swing control
