unfolds as we expect today. he will be an impeached president, and this is a person whose entire business was based on the name and what that name is. it s disgrace. there s some irony here because the party is thinking we can use that asterisk, the fact that he has been impeached to get all of those people who you ve mentioned are furious as he is today, to make sure they turn out in the polls. they do see this as a fund-raisi fund-raising. already they ve seen the numbers come up. for him personally in terms of his historic legacy, it may ironically help him in november get reelected. we know donald trump projects a lot, and that letter is him trying to convince you that he s full of bravado and everything else that he projects all the time. what he s covering for is exactly what these guys are describing, the fact that he knows a guy so worried about the impression of him that he joins a terrible club in american history that includes only andrew johnson and bill clinton as im
campaign is feeling real good about what they just dropped. why wouldn t they? that is a huge number, especially coming off a debate like we just had. can you make it translate into polling and can you make it translate into dollars and cents. even if they re not seeing that morning consult poll, they are clearly seeing it in terms of fund-raisi fund-raising. six months ago, no one knew who the mayor of south bend was. now he is clearly setting the piece for the rest of the field in terms of quarter 2 fund-raising. staffing on the ground, longevity in the campaign. it will mean getting up there and pushing the message even further, hallie. what does this mean for democrats. you think the pressure is on? i mean, it certainly is. the two people who i m going to be looking at, and clearly pete buttigieg is setting the pace. they clearly feel good. i think i got the email at 5:30
supporters, like, look what he s doing, we need to do better than this. so they re going to kind of make things rough for him in terms of fund-raisi fund-raising, in terms of being the establishment figure. joe biden is banking on the fact, as shane said, that he can do both. that he can still appeal to small donors but also appeal to these big moneymakers. guys, stick around. zerlina maxwell, it s always a pleasure to have you on. thank you, my friend. appreciate it. msnbc s road warriors and all the democratic contenders are on the road to miami for the first democratic debate of the 2020 election. that s going to be next month, june 26th and 27th. it will be here before you know it on msnbc, nbc news, telemundo. it will also be live streamed on n nbcnews.com. it s going to be very interesting. time to get a look at something else that s interesting, what our sources are saying. amy, what are you hearing from your sources and reporting on? looking at biden in polling, people ar
indications of where enthusiasm lies, for instance, in fund-raisi fund-raising. the democrats have outfund raised the republicans and they have more candidates for the house right now. only four house districts in the country where there s no democratic candidate running. there are nearly 40 districts where there s no republican candidate running either. we have noted how diverse this year s pool of candidates has been. 2018 has become the year of the woman. the number of women nominees set new records this year. 14 nominees for governor. 21 nominees for senate, 226 for the house. by the way our friend david wasserman over at the cook political report notes in house districts that don t have any incumbents in them, democrats have nominated women in 50% of those raises. republicans have nominated women in just 18% of those races. so what does all of this mean for november? well, obviously there s been a lot of talk about a blue wave and it s still too early to make that prediction but t
fund-raising. when were they going to go forward and hit all three states. six or $7 million. what do you make of this report coming from the wisconsin elections commission? not too surprising because i believe there is a deadline today if i have that right to really get moving with this recount. look, i mean the first 24 hours, she raised $2 million to get this effort under way. one thing that if there is anything we learned about this election cycle is that this was the most divicive election that we have seen at least in my lifetime. you have a president-elect who won the electoral college and got to the path of 270 which is how you become president, but clearly lost the popular vote by two million plus votes. this is not surprising that there is so much energy behind this, but i want to say that i
