Geoff bennett mentioning the 27 district in new york and this is a district that sort of hugs buffalo, it is in upstate new york. And donald trump won that district by almost 25 points back in 2016. You look at the electoral record for the congressman who has announced he is suspending his campaign. Chris collins won that district 67 of the vote back in 2016.

That is the next question we have to ask. Local authority determine the rules for elections. If his name stays on the ballot, then it might make it improbable that a democrat would be elected.

This put a big you sharpie underline on everything thats been happening since Donald Trumps victory in 2016. On the one hand, there was an unmistakable move toward the democrats in this district.

The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Unfolding in the same district, there are a lot of legal issues these are all people, you say people all in the president s circle. Its Congressman Collins, his son and the sons soon to be fatherinlaw. There are a lot of references to coconspirators not named as defendants. Yes. So are those folks who if youre a prosecutor, are these other Family Members who are cooperating or might they be indicted down the road. They could be indicted down the road.
