perhaps after the midterm elections, but there s no question we ve been reporting, president trump has been talking about this in recent weeks, especially as the mueller probe has been heating up. but jeff sessions is fighting back. last week he had a breakfast with some republican members, his former colleagues, a long-planned breakfast our sources are telling us. but at that breakfast he did get some support from those colleagues, and that information is coming out now at a time when he is under fire. think, jim, that is no mistake. sessions is not sitting back as he has been in the past and just letting these blows from the president come and hit him. he s been remarkably vocal at times. abby phillip at the white house. thanks very much outfront tonight, senator mark warner, the top democrat of course on the senate intelligence committee. thank you for taking the time tonight. thank you, jim. as you know, your republican colleague, senator graham, says that the president s r
think she will though it is not a done deal. i think kelly ward is a possibility. i hope joe arpaio wins because it would be a shoo-in for the democrat. herein lies the conundrum for republicans. you heard mcsally say she has a 97% voting for president trump. that could be an ad in the general election in a state where trump won barely by three points, in a state where the demographics are changing, the voting electorate is younger, multi-cal turl, a lot of latino voters, what trump is doing with immigration and you have mcsally who used to be on the right side of immigration. she has flip-flopped on that. she erased a lot of the youtube ads she had supporting president trump for what he has done with the dreamers. i think that is going to hurt her very badly against sim like kyrsten sinema. scott, you have a fair point. if you look at the generic ballot numbers so far, they ve
here. i m bullish on this. i mean you think about the race we talked about, as adrizona an florida, if they flip florida it is two more years of republican control in the senate, which even if the house goes democrat trump and mcconnell can continue to do judges. but but the judges continue. i hope they underestimate nelson because nelson only lost one race in his life. rick scott has spent more money i think than anybody in history in these kinds of races, of his own races, and he never hit 50%. it is not like he is very well-liked. i think again, i do think it will be hard. i urge democrats to do everything that they can to get out there and to mobilize and energize not just our base but independents and republicans who also despise this administration, and let s get out there and vote. scott, maria had two chances to call out the voters. i have to give you a fair he wants them to stay home.
again, growing latino population, a lot of puerto ricans have moved in, trump has been dismal on the issue of hurricane maria recuperation. you have the report today where you have so many more deaths in hurricane maria than initially, but i think that there is certainly a message to be messaged to all of these puerto ricans and latinos in general, that this is not just an administration that has been dismal to latinos but rick scott is going to be tied to him. scott, you are more sanguine about rick scott s chances? i m bullish on rick scott. i think it is a great race for republicans for two reasons. one, if they beat an incumbent democrat here it makes it impossible for democrats to take control of the senate. two, this is a resourcive sponge. he is a great fundraiser and he will spend his own money. it is an expensive race. it is the most expensive state of the cycle. the polling looks great, in the polling averages scott is ahead. i think we re in for a flip
