for the republican party long term, it is also dangerous for the country. and so kudos to mcmullin for going out there and trying to build a coalition of utah s sue care about the truth and who understand how mike lee seems to have been intimately of involved in the process to try to overturn the january 6th, 2020 election. ultimately, he did do the right thing and certify the results, but boy, did our country pay a heavy price for the propagation of that lie. okay, i am out of time, but i must, must. asked trump said that he would take anyone over mitch mcconnell four republican senate leader. if republicans take the senate, do you think there is anybody who can beat mcconnell? let s remember, you might not like mitch mcconnell, might not be a great guys to hang out with, but he is hugely powerful. maniacal, strategic. last i checked, he won his last election and trump lost. step, mitch mcconnell staying in power is
the first five and a half hours after she announced. this massive money haul is less indicative about whether mcgrath can beat mcconnell in a pro-trump state. i actually enjoy campaign. as you know, i ve had a few of them. and it ll be a spirited race, and i look forward to the contest and laying out our differences to the people of kentucky. he s going for a seventh term, folks. anyway, this promises to be one of the most expensive senate races of the 2020 cycle. but no matter how much money she raises it s still an uphill battle for mcgrath. rand paul even lost a congressional there in 2016. he won the state by double digits. we ll be back with more mtp daily right after this. es. being lost ain t never really been my style. but i told ya.
policies. well, i tell you what, my focus the oh night in the debate my focus the other night in the debate was getting the focus back on the economic anxiety people are facing, whether they re white, black, brown, gay, straight, man, woman, 75% of the american people are living paycheck to paycheck. they can t withstand a $400 emergency or they economically unravel. that s my focus. i will tell you that my phone has been ringing off the hook, not just after our debate on wednesday, but also the debate on thursday, as vice president biden was slipping a little bit. my phone s been ringing off the hook because people are seeing me as the person who can emerge about a working class agenda in the industrial midwest, be able to be the top of the ticket, to go in to places like kentucky, to beat mcconnell. to go into places like south carolina to beat graham. we have to get win the senate back too. we need to win north carolina,
class people in the very state that i represent in ohio. and the industrial midwest. we have lost all connection. we have got to change the center of gravity of democratic party from being coastal and ivy league. to somebody from the forgotten communities that have been left behind for 30 years. to get the workers back on our side. so we can say we ll build electric vehicles and solar panels. if you want to beat mcconnell. this better be a working class party. if you want to go into kentucky and take his rear end out and take lindsey graham out. go into the tech tile community in south carolina. all i m saying here. thank you congressman. if we don t address that fundamental problem, with our connection to workers. white, black, brown, gay,
change the math of the 2014 election. right now republicans need to pick up a net total of six seats and that s something that s plausible. but if grimes can beat mcconnell, ha number moves to seven. so the question is whether democrats in coal country can have their cake and eat it too. can they take sweeping action in washington and at the same time not undermine their candidates in a critical senate election in a state like kentucky. or is losing kentucky and possibly the senate the political price that comes with trying to wean america off carbon. i m joined by congressman john yarmath, he s a supporter of the president s epa proposals. first of all, that fact at the end there, explain how you from the coal country state of kentucky, how can you support president obama s war on coal? of course, i don t accept the premise that this is a war on coal.
