reverend al sharpton, host of politicsnation here on msnbc and president of the action network. i don t have to tell any of you, presidencies can be made and broken and bent in president s responses to a hurricane. thinking about my own experience with george w. bush and hurricane katrina. donald trump deciding to cancel plans to travel to poland but at the top he s got acting officials at the all of the leadership posts atop of homeland security and fema and their big news the last few days on border security is they were taking money from fema to pay for it. yeah, this is the stage this is the kind of story where people immediately get cynical about people talking about it through a political lens. obviously we have a life-andlife death scenario in a storm in florida. these are traditionally, like you said, make-or-break moments for presidencies. what s unique about this is there was a few days of a buildup. it s entirely unpredictable. and you have a president who placed himse
if the democrats take back the house after tuesday s election, there is unsettled businesses over who will win leadership roles? thursday the chairman of the congressional black caucus cedric richman said a black lawmaker should hold one of the top two leadership posts if house democrats win big on tuesday. now, that demand of sorts is seen as a potential threat to pelosi and minority whip who are expected to return for their former posts as the top house leaders, although there was a little bit of walking back, we saw on this issue on friday. i want to bring in cnn political analyst rachel joining us now. she s also the congressional reporter for politico. you have a deep dive this week, rachel, on pelosi and what she s been doing. how big of a resistance against pelosi as speaker is there really among democrats? i would say it s a lot smaller than people think it is. we ve been hearing for the past few months about this incoming democratic freshman class that would come in, ban t
