is if the republicans now rally around them enough to give them cover. they weren t able to do that before. but now donald trump is facing the mega mean girls version were gretchen weiner saying you can t sit with us. so that s about what s happening right now with the republican leadership does that translate down two votes in primaries we have yet to see that but it s. i don t think they ve got of a we ll see we ve got two years to go. real fast, rachel i m coming to you. who is the speaker than if republicans take the majority tara who s the speaker? just ask a least a fonda. eric she s a little busy. call ryan johnson. rachel real fast. voters made their voices quite clear against elections are nihilism and candidates to threaten democracy. if trump doesn t run in 2024 what should the democrats
party. i said this to you a year ago, jonathan. that kevin mccarthy would never be speaker of the house. and i still stand by that. even more so now after seeing the results of this election. good luck. tara, real quick, i want to come to you at the last question rachel. governor desantis and governor youngkin. these are two people who are emerging as early favorites to challenge donald trump, assuming he jumps back in to the race for president. do these two fellows even have a chance if trump jumps back into the 2024 race. i don t think so. no one has been able to survive a full frontal assault by donald trump he. doesn t play fair. these guys are still operating under the normal political procedure rules. this is not standard operating procedure time. i don t think either one of them has a stomach for the fortitude to handle the type of insults the only way that they would have any potential chance
right now you have a free fall in the republican party. as much as they would like to scrape the legacy of donald trump off their shoes, i think the former president s going to make it very clear that he s not going anywhere this week which complicates absolutely everything that they are trying to do. it is a complete repudiation of the extremism of the crazy. i was struck before i was struck before the election that republicans actually believe that it was no consequences for being anti-democratic for being cell in the face of antisemitic slurs or all of the crazies. they were so confident that they were going to win this. they thought the voters would not hold them accountable for any of this one. we found out as the voters hold him accountable for everyone. that is an excellent point charlie. tara, i m not even going to bother to ask you about a speaker mccarthy because you laid out a marker last year that was gonna be the speaker.
