that s going to be very tricky, of course, given that trump and mitch mcconnell have a terrible relationship, but it s a key focus of them this cycle. they want to avoid the debacle of last year, where they saw weaker candidates emerged from contested primaries only to peter out and collapse in the general. election and if you look at the 2024 senate map, it is very favorable for republicans in the sense that the republicans are running mostly in solid red states, mostly, and a lot of democrats. you see montana on that map. you see ohio on that map. you see pennsylvania on that money running in either deep trump states west virginia s on that map, either deeply red trump states or at least purple states where it should be competitive. so here s my question. steve daines is the head of the committee. is steve daines going to be the republican who finally manages trump? that s what he wants. but forgive me, mark me down. a skeptical anyone can do that. anyone i mean people who are the cl
this is exactly what we were just showing there, it is we are seeing this overperformance of democrats in these special elections since the dobbs decision, new york 19 included. by the way, democrats aren t winning every one of these. there was a race in the 23rd congressional district in new york, it is a republican district, the republican won, but we still saw the democrat perform better than joe biden. you re seeing this overperformance, and this is precisely what we saw in 2017 and 18 before the big democratic wave. these special elections, so many were taking place in deep trump districts, but even if the democrats aren t winning, they are making gains and that spelled real success for them at the ballot box. maybe it is dobbs, maybe it is gas prices, which have dropped for 71 straight days. let s just people see those signs, all the time, when they drive, maybe it is the things that have passed in congress and joe biden has signed his approval rating is ticking up. char
official who spoke up on the side of the rule of law and the truth. the challenge i wouldn t call it a challenge, but the sort of fly in the ointment for the trump side here is that all the witnesses will be deep, deep trump insiders and all the testimony will be on tape and in texts. it s in their own words how they tried to politicize an election and overthrow the u.s. government. (. right, i think trump will just continue to lie about it in all his, you know, fund-raising requests that he sends out and any interviews that he gives, but this puts every republican candidate, nicolle on defense. you know, you can t say i m not a member of the proud boys. i wasn t mark meadows in the white house that day. i don t know how it got so far out of hand, and have been silent all of these months when all of the revelations that we already know have been divulged,
backfire on the u.s. that would be 10 fold with china. how does the u.s. handle that? we have a much different relation hip diplomatically with taiwan than ukraine. there s a number of to defend them if the chinese decide to invade taiwan it. would be completely different situation than ukraine. there are a lot of things we can do. the republican study committee have issued a long bill of the all of the sanctions we would put in place that, would put america first. we saw that agenda undergone a deep trump. we saw how successful that agenda is. the american people support that. we should put our country first, and not china or russia, or the iranians. speaking of the irians considering removing the islamic core from the foreign terror list to sign this nuclear deal. of all of the horrible deals from this white house, where does this latest permutation of the iran deal stand? well, and that i given the authority to negotiate this deal
democrats but doesn t look like that is happening at all. in politics they say short memories. this vote will be remembered for very long time and the fact these red state democrats in deep trump district think this is going to have the political future is stunning to me. it shows the energy of the democrat party is out of the mainstream and gone so radical, we see in recent polls that even mainstream democrats approval has dropped by 13% down to 17% of democrats that support impeachment and removal. the president at this moment is supposed to be somber and reflective, he seems like he is succeeding more than ever before, so different from where bill clinton was, going up in the polls and stronger than ever before despite what the democrats are trying to do. this letter from the president to the speaker, people loved or hated it, he outlines
