an adviser to democrats during the first impeachment of former president trump. interestingly, trump has tried to meddle in this race by issuing a backhanded endorsement of dan goldman. goldman tried to use this to his advantage, calling it an obvious effort to sway the election and prevent him from going back to dock. and in westchester county, congressman maloney, who is the chair of the democrats house campaign arm is facing a challenge from state senator biaggi, who has the backing of congresswoman ocasio cortez. now, i talked to mr. maloney just in the last hour. he s feeling good about that race and he s not taking
i ve been the governor, the attorney general. that s the difference. electability and experience. reporter: both of those candidates telling me something that fundamentally shifted this race is the overturning of roe, and also the 15-week abortion ban here in florida. they re saying that is something that will help bring over moderate and independent voters into the democratic party fold. it s not just that race, hallie, but you have the race, the primary to take on senator marco rubio. there it s less of a competitive race. we pretty much it will likely be congresswoman demings in november. the polling we have been seeing shows a close race. so it will be close for the general election, but it looks like val demings has a lock. in new york, redirecting has created uncertainty. you look at carolyn maloney,

incumbents running against each other. both served as current committee chairs and congress. this is something new york doesn t see very often. in fact, you don t see it happening across the country very often. these are two people who have progressive records who have been part of the progressive caucus. they have been longtime allies. it really is challenging. there we have covered this to, there s been controversy about the maps. again, this is our destructing played out. it s unfortunate that the democrats will use one of these two. congressman nadler and congressman maloney have been allies of speaker pelosi. it looks like nadler has the edge. you also know it is august in new york. primaries are turnout can be strange. it s going to be on both of them to figure out how they can get their base to turn out. i think that-elect the actual and will be closer than it is in the polling. it s about getting people
