50% not. kacie, you re always in a better position than we are to judge how these movements affect the likely outcome. in your handicapping, what does it look like? i think what this means ali is that democrats are essentially shooting down what republicans are hoping will be the solution to this crisis which was that we were hearing a one year long continual funding, a punt on this border security debate, right? so they got to the point saying we don t want to do what they want to do on beds, they would rather have a one year deal. democrats are not hearing the message that that will not fly for them. it does, i think make a shut down more likely because it takes one of the options off of
about the benjamins, maybe. moments ago congresswoman omar said listening and learning and standing strong. joining me with more on that is kacie hunt. this thing unrolled with some great speed in the last 24 hours. that s right it has, we went from these kweets to con them nation very quickly to con semination of her own caucus including the chairman of the judiciary committee and the entirety of the democratic leadership, so here is what omar released, she said anti-semitism is real and i m glad for the colleagues educating me.
lawmakers debate the border wall and whether the government will shut down to pay for it. the mexican president and president trump spoke on the phone yesterday. the mexican president said he never discussed a proposed border wall with mr. trump. kacie hunt is live with me. good to see you. we re both usually running around. there s a lot of buzz about whether or not the shutdown will happen. the president doesn t have a whole lot of support for republicans who are saying we don t want to shutdown the government over the wall. what are you hearing? the president s comments deserve a bit of fact check. that s now how trade deficits work. it s not as though we will get the money from a trade deficit
mueller presents his documentation. thank you. the other big story we re following democrats are behind closed doors voting privately on who will lead the caucus in the next congress and whether that will include nancy pelosi. let me get to kacie hunt. what are you hearing? reporter: this will probably be less dra plattmatic than som her critics would want. she has done a masterful job of quitening that opposition. winning people over and getting the outcome to where she wants it to be. she will be unopposed. the ballot will be yes or no. there will be a line underneath. it s not going to be the case here. we may or may not receive a final tally.
enthusiasm into actual votes. i want to show you that early voting information again. that is 44% of republican voters like garrett just pointed out. those republicans may be voting for democrats or other parties. and now let s turn to iowa. where democrats are hoping to flip the third district that helped send trump to the white house. the democrat and the republican congressman, they re in a debt he d at this point. with axne edging out young by just 2% according to the new york sometimes/siena college poll. kacie hunt is there. you spent time with voters. what did they tell you? why wait until 2020 to come back to iowa and beautiful des moines? i m very happy to be here. but also this is it s not just this district. the heartland is really where the house of representatives is going to be decided. many of these districts throughout the midwest went for republicans in 2010. this is obviously the region of the country that sent donald trump to the white house. so coming out here
