passed. he did talk about the things that democrats were able to pass in the senate. yeah, april, it strikes me. one of the themes that we re talking about kind of i remember this coming up over the summer in particular and how the white house was looking at some progressive priorities and also things like the student loan extension, et cetera, that there were a lot of black voters who were actually pretty unhappy with the biden administration for a while. they were disappointed in what they viewed as his failure to deliver for them. do you think they ve turned that around? and what do you think the black voter turnout for warnock, how does that all interact? so you saw this last go-around, the president did not stand next to warnock in georgia. but there was a winning picture tonight and the win biden did call warnock. and you saw a picture of that. the unity between those two. and that s important. but for warnock, he is playing off of the wins of democrats. right now you got to
last go-around in 2016, the republican candidates announced from march to june of 2015, i vividly remember that. look ahead to this coming year. in other words, march to june of the year before the presidential, if you compare that to 2023, a new book coming out in february of 23. we might expect to see other candidates announcing again in that march-to-june time frame, even though last cycle that this was competitive, even march was considered early. what are you hearing? what s your sense of timeline for something like this and why that matters? i think what makes these groups interesting is that they are serving us the foundation for potential campaigns. they re allowing these potential candidates to build email lists, to develop messaging, to potentially develop what could be grassroots supporters. so whenever they do announce those campaigns, they will have kind of a knowledge set that will fuel potential campaigns that they do run. hailey fuchs from politico, good to see you
reporter: well, yeah, it s bensalem, lower bucks county. if you look at the area of bucks county, population of 650,000 people or so, a lot of swing voters, i mean, these counties around here, talk about bucks county, montgomery county loaded with swing voters. you can imagine there s been a lot of attention on from both sides trying to get these voters into their camp so we were out here all morning as we ve seen them come out here. a steady clip to talk to them about what issues matter most to them. as you can imagine at the top of the list you have the economy, crime, and a woman s right to choose. i know from previous years i ve swung both ways. it really depends on what the person stands for. that s what i vote for. this go around, a woman s right to choose drove you to the polls. absolutely. okay, and again you identify as republican but this is the issue that this one stood out to me the
and yes. here today in 2022, it is bananas that the republican party is nominating the yay for the unabomber guy and all the rest of these guys. but i find it comforting, sort of energizing to know that this is not our first go-around with people you can t believe are anywhere near real power. we have contended with problems like this in the past. when north dakota s william langer actually got elected to the u.s. senate in 1940 from north dakota, his record was so insane, right? his recent exploits were so blatantly illegal, that the u.s. senate had to decide after the election whether they would allow him to take his seat given that he had tried seceding. he had declared martial law. he had mounted an armed insurrection against the governmentful also the corruption charges that started
in the whole state to be their nominee for the united states senate. as long as i m in the senate, i ll be there battling for north dakota and for the united states of america. i ll be battling for the united states of america. except when i m battling to get rid of the united states of america so i can stay in power by force. just an amazing tale, right? mostly forgotten but an amazing tale. and yes. here today in 2022, it is bananas that the republican party is nominating the yay for the unabomber guy and all the rest of these guys. but i find it comforting, sort of energizing to know that this is not our first go-around with people you can t believe are anywhere near real power. we have contended with problems like this in the past. when north dakota s william
