Let me begin with the results yesterday in new orleans. In which john bel edwards, the democrat, winning with 51 of the vote. This is a state that donald trump won by 20 Percentage Points in 2016.

I know in louisiana a lot of former convicts had their Voting Rights restored recently. That could have played a role. In kentucky, we had a very unpopular governor, matt bevin, who has tried to undermine the Affordable Care act here, which would have taken Health Insurance away from 9
Communicators on cspan2. Welcome host o Jonathan Turley back to the desk. Professor, in your latest column on the inquiry, you called the current effort perhaps the narrowest impeachment in history.

This would be the narrowest in the history of the country. They are proceeding on an abuse of power there he based on one controversy involving ukraine, nothing from the russian investigations, none of those crimes will be part of this impeachment.
