on the reidout i m proud to be a pro-life governor and i ll be a pro-life president. of course, i want to sign pro-life legislation. i think it s something that we need to develop a culture of life in this country. the republican presidential candidates except for trump flock to iowa to embrace wildly unpopular issues like an extreme abortion ban. it s surely no way to win a presidential election. plus, desantis in damage control mode after failing to launch without extreme awkwardness and glitchy failures. he s looking to reassure right wing donors and activist said that he s not scott walker or jeb bush. also tonight, new reporting on a target letter sent to the special counsel sent by the special counsel to a trump staffer, which could be an indicator of how jack smith plans to prosecute the classified documents case. but we begin tonight with some advice for the republican party. to win elections you got to read the room. you listen to the american people.
