simone sanders-townsend, joined by my coherence, alicia menendez and michael steele. the clock just struck midnight a couple of hours ago. three republican candidates made their case why they should be the republican party s nominee in the 2024 presidential election. former south carolina governor nikki haley and florida governor ron desantis sparred in a debate hedrick university in des moines. meanwhile, the front runner of the republican party, former president donald trump, took a break from court appearances to take questions in a fox news town hall. in this town hall, he said absolutely nothing new. it was the same lies, same talking points and essentially a rally with questions. let me be clear, folks, the only normal aspect of tonight s debate was the presence of podiums. the candidates took the stage just after vocal trump critic, former new jersey governor chris christie, suspended his campaign, refusing to endorse any of his former opponents. in a normal world, a r
jealous. last week we did a story on sinner macy gray s interview with morgan where he asked her if he could define a woman. a human being that scott moves yeah, the dictionary is quite broad. i will say this and everybody s going to hate me but as a woman. greg: someone paid attention in medical school. as you can be a supreme court justice. on our show, i asked this question. either one of these has to apologize for being insensitive to marginalized groups. you got the answer. just 48 hours, roughly the same amount of time i spend on my biceps every week, asked again what is a woman and she folded faster than a futon shared by the view. being a woman is a vibe. if you in your heart is that s what you are, that s what you are regardless of what anybody says or thinks. greg: suddenly doesn t exist anymore and that s not a world i want to live in. i just don t, i don t, i m out. find a replacement. just not rob long. to be a woman is a vibe, of course they re g
his decision to lift covid restrictions in connecticut. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. as the biden administration, the democratic congress, and the country as a whole try to claw our way out of an unprecedented set of national crises, the republican party coast to coast has found its mission for the year 2021 make it harder for americans to vote. right now we re on track to see the largest rescue bill in recent memory signed into law by president biden this week. it would provide direct relief to americans, billions for vaccination programs, money to reopen schools, keep restaurants open, and not a single republican in either house or the senate has voted for it. instead, after losing the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections going all the way back to 1992, republicans are laser focused on restricting voting access. brennan center s tracking all the state bills aimed at restricting access to the polls. the
elections going all the way back to 1992, republicans are laser focused on restricting voting access. brennan center s tracking all the state bills aimed at restricting access to the polls. their list includes 253 bills introduced, prefiled or carried over this year in 43 states. in georgia, of course, already notorious for having absurdly long lines to vote with residents waiting up to 11 hours to cast their ballots last fall, republican governor brian kemp has waged a long battle to make the voting process even more difficult. in his previous role as georgia s secretary of state, he oversaw the closing of polling places and the purging of hundreds of thousands of registered voters from the polls. thanks, in part, to the efforts of stacey abrams and other activists on the ground registering hundreds of thousands of new voters, turnout in 2020 in georgia in the election was unbelievably high, smashing records and, of course, also helping to propel joe biden to the white house
