And there will be the National Rife a Rifle Association all in one room. Youve covered these after a horrible tragedy, they retreat and dig in and dont engage with each other. But tonight thats not going to be possible. Everybody is going to be on this one stage together. They have to confront the students who are demanding answers. They are coming with suggestions and demands. And the politicians both democrat and republican have to hear them. So that starts again at 9 00 tonight here. Alison, its going to be emotional night. As you noted you were there one week ago tonight following the shooting. Whats the one moment youll be looking for . Reporter well, i just spoke to these three young women,

Squeaker which side prevails. So whether it is saccone by two or conor lamb by two matters less than it is a four point margin or whatever it ends up. Even if the democrats looses, if it is close, the democrats are going to claim it is a sign. Difficult for them to claim it is a Success Story even if saccone victory.

Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts to Shield Mueller and his investigation are moving forward in the senate, interestingly enough after much delay. Today republican Chuck Grassley, the chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary committee announced his panel will vote on a bill to protect mueller potentially as soon as tomorrow.
