the textured cloths grab and hold dirt and hair no matter where dust bunnies hide. no more heebie jeebies. phew. glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering. new reporting from the washington ho washington post white house is trying to turn impeachment into a win. the post reports by friday, even as the house judiciary committee passed two articles of impeachment against trump, the president had begun telling allies that maybe impeachment wasn t so bad after all. joining me now, chris lui and lauren zelt. welcome to you both. let s look at this article. it goes on to say that all week at white house holiday parties and in phone calls with allies, trump privately mused about
i also look at a cbs news poll that came out today that s showing a rising support for impeachment. i m not sure this helps trump. i would caution people against reading too much into where all of this could go. it s very conceivable we could go through a very contentious senate trial and a week or month later we are talking about something different. that s the world of trump. on a week where he racked up legislative gains, for the vast majority of people in this country, other than impeachment, their lasting memory of this week is the president attacking a 16-year-old swedish girl on twitter. she became person of the year. there s high information of voters and there s low information. even on the deals he cut, trade is a hard thing to message for many people. i m curious, chris, because the fox poll, it says 53% of voters believe trump abused the power of his office. 48% think he obstructed congress. 45% say he committed bribery.
who has loyal to the president has to go back and explain how he justifies that. they re postponing a school to build the wall that the president told us mexico was going to pay for. we ll have more with chris and sarah later. coming up, my next guest says he may drop out of the white house race if he fails to qualify for the democratic debate in october. i ll talk with mayor bill de blasio next. later, residents of the bahamas are now returning to open spaces where their homes once stood, picking through rubble and debris left behind by hurricane dorian. the number of deaths has climbed to 43 and is expected to keep rising. we ll have a live report from the ground. here s a dramatic report by nbc s kerry sanders moments ago. i m going to take you through

candidates in the race, senators kamala harris and cory booker, why are two white men leading with this key demographic? joining me now with her take, political writer maya king, and back with us, my panel, republican strategist sarah longwell, and former back home aide, chris lu. maya, in your article in politico, why are you finding black voters are seemingly supporting, according to these polls, joe biden and then bernie sanders? is t as it we are no longer in a certain category of voters, that white women voted more for trump than hillary clinton, or people are into who they think can defeat donald trump? i think that s exactly it. i think black voters are well aware of the fact that the stakes are very high in this election. and they are putting their vote behind the person who they believe has the best shot at
