and john edwards did better with black voters in south carolina, same election cycle. people vote sometimes to make a statement, sometimes to say i want to see the ultimate winner. but in this case, is it the kind of bias that many blacks perceive about the trump administration that really exacerbates that feeling of i want to vote for who i think can really take him out of office? oh, this is certainly a referendum on president trump, absolutely. but this is also, like i said before, this is a knowledge vote. this is an understanding of the fact that they know who they believe can actually get in office. but i look at the numbers with younger black voters who have supported sanders, and they re thinking the same thing about their candidate. they ve looked at the policies he s put forward. they re looking at the things he s saying and they like his plans. and so for black millennials, it s more of a sanders vote. chris, you worked for
meeting, inviting no less than seven foreign governments, eight if russia and the president have their way to come stay and put more money into the trump war chest. it s all part of what house judiciary chairman jerry nadler calls an ongoing impeachment investigation into the president s conduct. our political panel joins me shortly. later on, we ll update you on the unfolding disaster in the bahamas as we learn more about the devastation that has left 43 people dead. much of the island nation literally under water. joining me now, chris lui, former white house cabinet secretary under president obama, and a senior fellow at the university of virginia s miller center, and sarah longwell, publisher of the bull work and director of republicans for the rule of law.
where is mitt romney? where is ben sass? these are thought of, decent people who aren t saying anything. the vice president purports to be a christian and an incredibly moral person, and he s standing making excuses about, you know, crazily staying hours and hours away just so he can put taxpayer money into the president s pocket and kind of, you know, suck up to him. it is unconscionable. chris, even not just dealing with the law, which some citizens, not all, maybe not even most, some citizens don t sit and just read the conflict of interest in the law. but just the moral ground, forget the high ground, where you have americans working two jobs. you were deputy secretary of labor. you understand this better than anyone where they re trying to make ends meet. and they see this self-serving
health care, employment that still plague black america. specific. there s a race gap in these areas and they re not saying how to close the gap. black unemployment is still twice as high as white unemployment, and that needs to be addressed. maya, great piece in politico. chris and sarah, thank you for being with us. meanwhile the devastation continues in the bahamas, which was decimated by dorian. the storm which has now been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone has been blamed for at least 43 deaths in the country. and that number is expected to go up, quote, significantly. coming up at 6:00, my colleague, richard lui, will have special live coverage of dorian s aftermath right here on msnbc. coming up, members of congress return to washington monday and it s shaping up to be a chaotic week full of legislative hot-button issues, and a deadline driven agenda.
where reports say there were other venues available. how, according to the rule of law, do you look at this? yeah, well, it s unconscionable. let s be clear about something. if this were a democrat who was behaving in this kind of way doing a tenth of what donald trump has done to self-enrich himself and his family, they would have impeached him months ago, maybe even years ago. this would already be over if the roles were reversed. remember how republicans were about the clinton incident. we were incensed. with this corruption happening in broad daylight, i can find few republicans who will stand up for the rule of law. isn t that the point, chris? you worked in the obama
