can you drop one by my office! i will, it s on the way. i ll see you in d.c. in a few days! see you soon. well, it is officially election eve here in manchester, new hampshire. just hours from now voters will cast their ballots for the first-in-the-nation primary. even though new hampshire is just the second contest of the 2024 election cycle. it could very well be the end of the republican race. yes, the primary race could be wrapped up tomorrow night. before january even comes to a close. of course it s not truly over until it is over. as of last night, with florida governor desantis dropping out, this is now finally the one-on-one race that nikki haley has, won is the one that she has been asking for and right now on the eve of this new hampshire primary, she is the only one still standing between donald trump and her republican nomination, she is also currently 19 points behind him in the latest new hampshire tracking poll, out just this morning. so what does nikk
closing in, the special counsel appears to be wrapping up his investigation into donald trump s handling of classified documents as new details emerge about what was going on at mar-a-lago, just before the feds swept in. melissa murray and barbara mcqueen will explain the significance. and, all hail the queen of rock and roll, danielle smith is here to celebrate the life and legacy of tina turner. i m jonathan capehart, this is the saturday show. congress is on memorial day recess, but negotiation teams from the white house and house republicans are hard at work trying to seal an agreement to raise the debt ceiling. all signs show that they are inching closer to a deal that would raise the limit on federal borrowing and avert and unprecedented, catastrophic default. treasury secretary janet yellen added new urgency to the negotiations, over the last few months, she has warned congress that the debt limit could be reached in early june, and potentially as early as june 1st.

with a guaranteed 35% of the bag and the winner take all primary? i know desantis has raised an incredible amount of money, but remember, so did jeb bush. remember shaka, where did that get, that got him retirement, that s what it got him. and smart money really thought that ron desantis could take down trump then chris scott, and possibly kristen uno, there wouldn t be chomping at the bit to get in the race. and his latest stumbles, whether it s the twitter debacle or his six-week abortion ban or the tax on mickey mouse, that is not helping him. you know, read, a couple weeks ago, another floridian was on the show, david jolly, the former congressman. and he sort of rocked my world, to pick up on what dave was talking, about ten, to 12 republicans vying for the nomination, thereby allowing trump to slide on through and win the nomination again all of 2016. but dave-ing saying david jolly said was the
