separate conversation certainly, they re going to be gathered in mar-a-lago having a conversation about him moving forward. you re saying this is about money? look, i think there s what voters believe and the actual business of winning elections. i think there is an argument to be made there are voters who have grown tired of the trump brand. that brand of politics. talking about an election, we had a 41-year high for inflation. talk about an election we had crime in many places, in many cities going rampant. i think there was an opportunity to be more successful than we were. there was an opportunity, but that opportunity did not materialize, and i don t think money s the issue here. right? $17 billion spent on this election. the issue isn t the money. again, not always how many money you have, it s how to you spend it. said also because quality of the candidates who were running. that s why trump is facing part of this reckoning. trump didn t backed candidates who did not
person who s calling the shots, that s donald trump. so, look. you re talking about money on the chart it s trump money and then the people who actually vote for trump. so money is not the problem. using a lot of this money. trump has plenty of money. trump did not use a lot of his money to support i actually want to get your perspective on the leadership fight happening now. there are efforts to not have mitch mcconnell be the republican leader isn t the senate. don t seem successful. doesn t really have a successor. mckacarthy is having a much mor problem in the house. tiny majorities people openly running against him, people saying he doesn t have the votes to be nominated to be leader of the house today? the problem is does he get 218 in january? looking unlikely. calling republicans on the hill, saying, look. mccarthy is not a beloved figure and herding a lot of different cats in this party. you re kidding?
it s the candidate quality. masters i m quoting the not my own senate minority. lies about what happened between the election. 2020. lies about what happened january 6th and other candidates down the line. i don t care. put millions of dollars behind that. people rejected them, this whole idea about money is b.s. and deflection. hang on. and i think josh hawley is delusional, and people are following, if you continue to follow in the footsteps and the thinking logic of josh hamwley, the republican party, if you believe that s what he s saying, the republican party is dead as he actually said is right. we have to leave it there. appreciate that. straight ahead, cnn exclusive. rye russia delayed announces retreat from kherson, ukraine, until after the midterm elections. fascinating. crushes setback, sad, in the fight against alzheimer s. why this experiment many treatment appears not to be working.
