week or next, and we will get to the bottom of this. and then we will be able to make a determination at that time whether or not something happened that was treasonous. i ve talked to a lot of people since i ve been home who believe that there s treason on the part of this president. they certainly believe some crimes have been committed. so i want to talk about polling, since you mentioned polling. there is new polling from the new york times that showed a majority of voters in key swing states that helped elect donald trump, like michigan, like pennsylvania, wisconsin, they oppose impeaching the president and removing him from office. i know that you believe moving forward with impeachment is important, or at least the inquiry, regardless of political consequences. but is it possible that this could have a negative impact on your party s prospects in 2020? sure, it could. and that would make this whole process much more political than i would like for it to be.
2020. i m saying even if joe biden were not running for president, if he were a private citizen going off into the sunset, would it be act okay for the president of the united states, yes or no, to ask another foreign leader to investigate to look into corruption? to investigate an american citizen. that sounds like an oversimplified presentation of what is happening. what is happening, as the president of the united states says, people are talking about this prosecutor and this investigation. we have joe biden bragging on tape in january of 2018, dana, saying and i said i would be on the ground 90 more minutes, and if you don t believe me, call barack. just for the record, there is no evidence that joe or hunter biden did anything wrong. let s move on there s no evidence that donald trump did anything wrong. let s go there. i m asking you the question. why are we about to have public hearings trying to impeach a president, rather than reducing drug prices, improving
flavor of a democratic candidate but with if they don t know the substance of your plan. we re clear about the substance of our plan in various places and we ll have a more detailed rollout of the full plan in the days to come. reporter: yang is on board with impeachment but said fellow democrats spend too much time talking about it and donald trump in general. well the downside is that the entire country just gets engrossed in this impeachment process and then we ll look up and be facing donald trump in the general election and we will not have made a real case to the american people is it going to hurt the democratic nominee? there is a chance that it will. and i just saw that it seems like the significant number of candidates may be called to d.c. for the bulk of january which would definitely take the focus away from the campaign. be bad for you, though. i would be right here in iowa or new hampshire or south carolina, or nevada or somewhere else campaigning, it i
that must come next. first thing we have to do is get rid of donald trump. get him out of office. and one that happens, the road is clear. fear and complacency does not win elections. real change never takes place without struggle. today marks exactly one year until election day 2020. and candidates as you heard are making their pitches to iowa voters as a new poll this week shows a top heavy race in the first caucus state with no clear leader. take a look at this. warren 22% and bernie sanders 19% and pete buttigieg 18% and biden 17%. let s discuss. i was there on friday night for this iowa democratic dinner where all of the candidates came and showed their stuff. and it was really a note worthy i thought that the buttigieg campaign made it such a big effort to show force.
you re seeing in virginia when it comes to the political implications of impeachment. the incumbents are locked in a close race with andy basheer whose dad ran in kentucky. it s turned into more of a shirts versus skins exercise. but if donald trump can t campaign in virginia, none of these 20-something democrats in virginia can step foot in virginia, because the national democrats are so unpopular. obviously we have a polarized environment, blue states and red states. the fact that trump can t campaign in virginia doesn t tell me all that much when the democrats can t campaign in a lot of states. i wish i were running for president. they asked me to come down, i could have gone. you have an announcement to make? no. as a city congresswoman at the table, i do want to say one
