attack. former president donald trump. a series of monumental decisions of the supreme court will also be front of line for so many voters this november. none greater than the unprecedented decision to overturn almost a half century of privacy rights in roe v. wade. coming up, we re going to be joined by georgia s democratic nominee for governor stacey abrams. she s going to talk about everything that is on the line this fall. first, let s bring in an incredible roundtable. we have the former chairman of the republican national committee, michael still, former white house press secretary and the president obama, robert gibbs, host of msnbc s politicsnation and president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton. former aide to the george w. bush white house and state department, elise jordan, former white house director of communication shear to president obama and director of communications for hillary clinton 2016, presidential campaign, jennifer palmieri. let s
after president obama won, another massive victory, we heard everybody talking about that blue wall that democrats had set up with the electoral college and there was no way republicans would ever win the electoral college again because there was a blue wall that protected the democratic candidates. i want to ask you about three states that i find to be the most fascinating, most perplexing, since president obama left office in 2016, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. those are three states that i always call fool s gold for republicans. because they would always throw money to those three states and other than michigan, it seems they always lost. now, you go county by county, let s go and put iowa in there, too, you know, county by county, president obama did so well, in a lot of counties where, you know, he may have lost a county,
