that the candidates who are involved have to decide where to go. i know mayor gillum is reluctant to become involved in litigation, but we are seeing evidence that florida he s statute to make it more efficient has been done at the sacrifice of the fundamental right to vote. so he is reviewing his options with me now. so are you saying that lawsuit is on the table for andrew gillum? well, it has always been on the table in the sense that he has always had the apgs to do that. and up until now, we have not been actively preparing to file one. but as of this morning, we had a discussion in which he wants to receive advice as to what options he has. what mayor gillum is concerned about at this point is whether or not it ultimately would affect his race that he feels an obligation to ensure votes are
don t manchin. all three are promising to hold the nomination until they vet his record. i ve never met him. so i m apgs to meet him and to be able to visit with him one-on-one. so there is some work we all have in front of us. i m looking forward to rolling up my sleefbs and getting to work. i know he is held in high regard by many attorneys and judges, whom i know, but, obviously, he into evidence to go through the full vetting process and i haver much look forward to meeting with him in my office so that i have the opportunity one on run to have a thorough discussion with him t about his judicial progressly lock at all the things he s ruled on, his writings. i think it s our responsibility. i know what in my heart, to give everybody the benefit of the
