particularly to voters of colors in that first in the south primary state. with regards to voter suppression, we spent time on the broadcast yesterday digging into this a bit. you had wisconsin purging, more than 200,000 registered voters. georgia purging voters as well, more than 300,000 in georgia before a chunk of them were actually restored. how closely are you watching this? we re watching this incredibly closely. when i talk to voters of color and particularly african-american voters in some of these states where republicans control legislatures, they tell me there s very concerned there s a calculated, concentrated effort ahead of the 2020 primary and general election to make sure the folks who are black and brown, who look like them, aren t turning out to vote, including to laws like those that vice president biden mentioned in that opini-ed overe
been focused on anything the american people have said we absolutely want this. the washington democrats plan to raise taxes aren t exactly popular either. the idea that we re going to raise taxes on the wealthy so we can pay for things that empower the middle class, i like that. we re collectively going to ending this segment together. i m going to put your dave wasserman. his sign you re in a danger of a wave. number one, your voters aren t turning out. is that a full-flej check for the gop? i think that s why the president is so active. your incumbents are getting outraised. the other party has candidates in in virtually all 435 districts. and you keep waiting for things to, quote, get better, and they don t. 2010, mirror image 2018. i ll let you defend that. i had this terrible quicksand feeling throughout the autumn of 2006 and i don t have it right now. i don t have it yet because our candidates know what they re
right there, 76% of the vote. so far in these small counties he s either matching or slightly behind. are republicans coming out to vote? i look back at the performance four years ago and gillespie just matching in some of the small counties trailing of the performance. it could be an indication the voters aren t turning out. if you re looking at the map now and you re in the campaign you re doing what you need to do. you re looking at the map filling in roughly up to 42% of the vote, you re ahead. traditionally in virginia races the republican take the author tham lead. if you re raffle northam you re nervous because this is close but the map s filling in how you want it to. approaching half of the vote in virginia. what about new jersey? the polls are about to close within a minute or two in new jersey. remember four years ago.
party s job right now is to work with the majority of the american people who have given us a mandate to build a resistance against a that donald trump is trying to put into place. and that that s our responsibility right now to build an opposition party to give the majority of the american people a voice. abby: jehmu, you look at this election up and down the ballots. this will go down as one of the biggest losses for the democratic party. you have to say going forward is that really the answer? is that going to win elections with that message? look, building a resistance to donald trump s administration is a part of what the democratic party needs to do. we also needs to inspire with our ideas. we need to deliver results on issues that matter. there s an opportunity here to transform the party. there is an opportunity to connect more with the young people who believe in our values and support our policies. but aren t turning out to support us. there is an opportunity.
2012. no pollster had that in their model. this has shaped up very nicely for her. let s listen to donald trump analyzing the florida vote for hillary clinton. one of the things they re seeing in a couple of these states like florida, african-americans aren t turning out, and when they do, a lot of them have voting for trump. i m getting so many more than was anticipated. [cheers and applause] i think the same is going to be true with hispanics. we re going to do great with the african-americans. we re going to do great with the hispanics. and the other side is starting to see it, and they are not happy. they are not happy. steve shale, your reaction to that? i want what he s drinking. i don t know where he s seeing it. yesterday i went to an event, i m hosting a group from turkey this week observing our election. we went to an ame church in orlando and about noon yesterday, there must have been
