a big part of this race, and for me a big part of what makes the both of these races interesting, there are states where they let them play and absolutely critical roles. we ll talk about the latino vote on election night. we re going to see movement out of florida, potentially something from the rio grande valley. if republicans were to make the argument that there is a political realignment underway, then they are going to have to prove it with significant gains in arizona and in nevada. on election night, until we see results from those two states, and i think we can write that. but they have been towards republicans since the last election, so that said 30%. that is been the point of entry. part of why it s been the point of entry is that in 2016, people were very surprised by donald trump s success among latino voters. very diverse in a number of ways. he was getting about 30% of the vote. 2020, he was getting closer to 40% of that vote. the question is, is their movement in t
british colony where we had parliamentary democracy. you said something esther interesting, the opposition party. they came down, picked the opposition party. the republican party that s not acting like a opposition party. if they were, that would be interesting. if they had alternatives to some of the economic or social policies being criticized, that would be something. the number one issue on the ballot today, which is often the case, and inflation. republicans will be going around the country talking about how is joe biden and the democrats who are responsible for export inflation. we talked about it this morning, it s just not, unless you believe that joe biden and the democrats also run the netherlands and spain, and germany, and mexico, and venezuela they actually do, with the conspiracy theories by the way. and for the moment, it s a winning formula for republicans. it looks that way in the polls. it looks that way in the polls, but it s also easy. it s low hanging frui
there are republicans, because there s a lot of republican arizonans who are not supporting kari lake because they think that she is to fringe. but she s running ahead right now. i know for certain and i spoke with people who are able to answer that question for me. if anything had that bizarre but then was going to swing the other way in the senate seat. letters that i spoke to didn t answer that question very freely. what i didn t understand is that in michigan and arizona, two states where the cross wind candidates are election deniers, and there are republicans who are struggling with the right now, but i don t know how big that struggle is. republican voters struggling with that. as what we re going to find out on tuesday, but we have to move on to another subject. that is where my looking? up next, [laughs] enough voters are saying that is the most important issue.
republicans are within striking distance, right? george pataki defeating mario cuomo, that republican wins that competitive in the new york race. it s quite possible that a few new york democrats are not used to the idea. i just think that because we re talking about races, where in the margin of error, and then races where people are ahead by seven points, with the could be out. and let s keep in mind, in new york state democrats have a 2 to 1 majority voter registration, and new york city alone a 7 to 1 majority. that s widely zeldin coming within striking distance is so incredible. i think it s important to talk about the stakes of these gubernatorial races, effect we are talking about folks they will have the ability to certify elections, the fact we are talking him in many cases about stuffed it because of the overturning, a lot of the decisions are now being made at state levels. governors are either fighting
and rents go down, that is sort of the top issue that voters feel, that worries them, that concerns them, when they go to the ballot box, and it s kind of hard to argue compellingly, well, we got the unemployment rate, it is low but at the end of the day, it is harder to buy a house, it is harder to lease a car, and it is harder to even come home with a bag of groceries for your family at the end of the week. indeed, it is harder, so jake, voters are talking about the economy. i wonder, though, when democrats across the country, not just joe biden, who is out there trying to convince voters broadly, when democrats across the country are talking about what they had done, how difficult are they finding it to get this message across? really difficult, for a few reasons. number one, republicans have spent so much more money, i mean the republican super pac, the congressional leadership fund, has spent more than the d-ccc, the official campaign committee and the democratic super pac
