getting that vote total. that s a really good question and that third party candidate has, you know, he was not a factor in the campaign trail. he s the home of a lot of protest votes. there s a significant number of voters who said, hey, especially republicans who are concerned with her walker, who signaled that they were going to support this third party candidate out of protests because they could not vote for senator warnock. the bigger question is not who they will back. it s whether they come out at all. a lot of these voters won t come out at all and this is number six runoff. and so, that s why the focus is on the base, base, based. for senator warnock, he s trying to get back there skeptical republican voters who might have held their nose and voted for herschel walker. he wants the windows back in this final stretch as well. yeah, for sure. we ve got three more weeks until that result, could take next weekend again, greg. i want to get an update for you than. thank you. l
where the mainstream america s. because on tuesday, americans decided they were too extreme to support in this election. i want to get your quick thoughts to this as we play this remark from president biden post midterm news conference. we will watch this together. 75% of voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction despite the results of last night. what in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change peoples opinion of the direction of the country, contemplate a run for president in 2024? nothing because they re just finding out what we are doing. the more they know about what we re doing, the more supporters. does the election, robert, does the outcome give him license to say that? do you agree? well look, i will say this. i m not a huge fan of the question, is the country moving in the right direction? my hunch is that a lot of democrats going into this election didn t think that election denialism was leading this country into the right dire
a lot of areas in my state of texas and a number of other states where because of the gerrymandering, it s very firmly base republicans in those district controlling who gets elected. so, that s not how these politicians are going to act. remember, these politicians are always going to look out for, you know, i don t want to lose an election, i m going to save my job. and if they think that saving their job means loyalty to donald trump, then they will continue to be loyal to donald trump. hey alex. joining. for just a minute, if i could weigh in here, here s the deal. if you look at ron desantis, he preaches trumpism. so, i think you re making a good point. it s going to be better? hey, it may be better for the republican party. but for the people, they ve just rejected abortion bans. he s got the worst one in the country. they rejected the politics of hate, where he put innocent people on buses and tracked them across the country, making
split government, i think you re going to see basically the 2024 race come at us starting january 5th of 2023, right? we may see that already, but i think it will play out inside the halls of congress. and you will have two very different and competing divisions. i think the real challenge for republicans, particularly if they control the house, by just two votes, that s, going to be an enormously hard caucus to corral to get anything done. and i think the likelihood that they are going to continue to do things that put themselves outside of the political mainstream is extraordinarily high. i think democrats can capitalize on that for the next couple of years. i think divided government is going to bring a lot of things that americans don t like, a lot of the bickering, a lot of food fights, if you will. but i think right now, the onus is on republicans to somehow get their party and their belief system in line with
up a bunch of levels? well, look, i think he played a bit of a role, particularly in some of the swing states, alex. i think you have to give credit to a lot of the different circuits. you re showing a picture of current president, joe biden, and former president, barack obama, who both descended on pennsylvania last weekend. and we saw big results there. joe biden went to places like new mexico, and oregon, and new york, thought to be worrisome going into tuesday than reelected democrats overwhelmingly. so, i think certainly former president obama played a role and current president biden played an important role. and i think you just served to get democrats were enthusiastic than they already likely were. i ve got to say, i wish my director would keep that photo up, that video going over the two of them walking. that s a lot of fantasy. speaking of tune, the main factors, robert, that appeared to have driven voter turnout for democrats were donald trump and the supreme court deci
