other people wanting to ask questions. you re free to go. thank you so much. all right. i m kate boulduan, you ve b been watching the house rules committee. the full house is expected to vote later today as the rules committee continues. this is the panel investigating the insurrection voted unanimously last night to recommend that meadows be held in criminal contempt for refusing to testify. in doing so, revealed realtime accounts what was happening within donald trump s inner circle as the riot was unfolding. text messages from fox news hosts, unnamed republican lawmakers even donald trump s son. joining me now is co-anchor of state of the union dana bash and
actual attack, we don t know what they have on that still. but the revelation that when it comes to what the trump administration was trying to do to overturn the freely and fairly election that a sitting member of congress was involved in that is new and noteworthy. and let me just say, this is this was among the most compelling of hearings that i have witnessed in quite some time. because there was such a robust general discussion and outrage and bewilderment about the fact that this is not a unanimous that they re not unanimously disgusted by what happened. and that still continues to be the case. you saw the republican congressman, burgess, kate, again still trying to whitewash saying there were protests before the affordable care act.
election officials tell me that s above average. i want to introduce you to one of those voters. he is an independent voter. tell me who you voted for. i voted for hillary. why did you vote for hillary? it s basically a no brainer. she is qualified. there s no clearer choice in there. it was hillary clinton all the way for you? yes. john and kate, i can tell you, independents here, that is huge because about 43% of the voters who cast a ballot in 2012 were independent voters and they broke for barack obama and hillary clinton is hoping to get more voters so she can get other the finish line. trump hoping to bring them his way and break that blue wall. so far, lots of activity and excited voters here in manchester. watching that one closely, thank you very much. we ll take you to new hampshire and raise you an ohio. as goes ohio, so goes the
his vote. as we all know, it s now all in the voter s hands, kate. john. it is interesting, just one point here, this will be the first time that some of donald trump s kids will be able to vote for him because they were not registered as republicans they did not vote in the primary. they could not vote in the republican premier. they can vote today. also at one point here, we showed pictures before of governor pence. we understand he s out for a bike ride. before he s going to go. returning home, then he will walk to go vote. presumably, we don t know for sure, presumably he will change before he votes. here s the good thing, you can vote in your biking gear. you can vote in whatever outfit you want. take a look right now. here s mike pence all smiles. i have to say it s a smart move to get exercise on election day. president obama, as we all know, always likes to play basketball.
