really sort of, it s very, it really does put people off, i think, and it puts supporters off more than anybodyelse. and, you know, you just go around and you can ask people, you can find dozens of people just walking down the street who voted for joe biden who doesn t like him or wouldn t vote for him again. i defy you to find a singling voter out there who didn t vote for joe biden and will and would vote for scwoa biden next time. you cannot find a single voter like that. that unicorn does not exist. [laughter] here s another example of someone who is disgusted just like the gentleman we played in the intro. carley, this is an mta worker from new york who blames biden for destroying the democratic accurate party. i ve seen my party going in the if wrong direction, i am seeing joe biden going into, going into these dark realms making all of this stuff, all of this stuff that has no place in
coming. look, to criticize the president of the united states, even someone you don t like and didn t vote for who s clearly as nasty as joe biden is, is in some way to diminish our own country. so i just want to preface this by saying it s sad to watch this because you wantn your leader to be strong even if you don t agree with him and he s weak but how long p my question to you is can this pretense continue that this guy is running things he knowsld what he s doing? you should follow his commands. i think the pretense was over the first day took office. i mean, this is the consequence of electing or, you know, having a moldy cantaloupe as president united states and it creates this kind of perfect storm that that turns this into the most out of touch presidential administration in american history becauseh on one hand you have a president with literal dementia who lost his mind.in and by the way, before he lost his mind, he still didn t really have one . he had you know, he was he w
see what looks fair and what looks like it was created with partisan purposes. this is our historic house chamber. reporter: cnn reached out to maryland state democrats in leadership and on the redistricting committee. none of them agreed to an interview. when you let politicians draw their own maps, be they republican or democrat, they re going to hold on to their power, creating partisan representation isn t good for citizens. you know, most people are not on the far left or the far right. most people reside somewhere in the middle on most issues. reporter: in his upcoming book, american reboot, will hurd writes about the importance of appealing to those in the middle, not on the edges. my title was representative. that means i represent everybody. people that voted for me, people that didn t vote for me, and people that didn t vote at all. reporter: because you were in a swing district, your incentive was to work across the aisle? absolutely. reporter: congressional
grandeur. the thought that he could be a transformational president instead of a uniter. he needs to go back. he will lose one house of congress in november and there will be no more reconciliation bill. he s going to have to compromise. do it now when it appears like a choice. martha: the president is talking about something that isn t meeting the moment of where people are. we have a picture of allison spanberger in a difficult seat in virginia. she was standing up there with him. big hug between them. she spoke out against bbb. she didn t want it passed. they re in a district that trump won by 20 points, a quick thought on that. well, she s the one that said, americans didn t vote if i remember correctly, she said americans didn t vote for f.d.r. they voted for someone to unite the country. if joe biden wants to save his
everybody, people that voted for me, people that didn t vote for me and people that didn t vote at all. because you were in a swing district your incentive was to work across the aisle. absolutely. reporter: congressional crossover districts where voters choose a president and a u.s. house member from different parties are virtually disappearing. in 1996 there were 108, in 2016 down to 35, and today there are only 16. the number of competitive districts here in texas, you were in one of them, has gone from 12 to one. what does that mean for the way things work in congress or don t? well, you will see more dysfunction because people aren t going to work together. let me give you how is it possible that there will be more dysfunction? because you could have even less people working together. reporter: thanks to politicians in both parties across the country drawing their own districts to stay in power. and some wonderful news before we go.
