dnc rules and bylaws committee plans to review, and potentially finalized, the primary plan. that is a show for tonight, we ll see you again tomorrow, now it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, sounds like it s time to check the latest rules on right in ballots for the new hampshire primary. bring a pan, if you are a democrat. back in 68, when the new hampshire primary became a giant event because jean mccarthy went up there and challenged the sitting president, lyndon johnson, the sensation was, mccarthy won. he got more than 40% of the vote. but lyndon johnson won, and his name was not on the ballot. it needed to be written in. so who knows. who knows. lisa murkowski will tell you, are right in ballot is fine by her. so, alex, before you go, i m a little concerned. i have governor gretchen whitmer booked for the show tonight, but that was done before i read jennifer palmieri s vanity fair profile of her. have you read this? i saw it,
that we can t turn away, we can t pull out, we can t look backwards. we need to face forward, fight forward, and fight like hell. we need people to run for office. i am always working to ensure, we are creating space, and have a real, empowered representation, at all tables, which i m sitting. but, we need to encourage people to lean, and we need to hold people accountable. it has been tough, and the rhetoric is so ugly, and scary in this country, but it is not how it should be, and we can fix this. we don t fix it by turning away, we fix it by leaning in, and by fighting. in reading jennifer palmieri s profile of you, which she seems to be reporting, her sense of it is, in michigan, yes, they are voting for your policies, but they are very much voting for the person. so, it seems like, for the formula to work for democrats elsewhere, gretchen whitmer
