the crucial fight for control of the house is underway with democrat zeroing in on districts that were won by republicans in 2020, despite being biden districts that he carried before. republicans control the house by ten seats. that means democrat need to flip six in the mud term elections to regain control. manu raju spoke with one and the democrats trying to unseat him. truly remarkable. reporter: it was a stunner last year giving the gop a razor-thin house majority. six republicans winning in the blue new york suburbs. now they are the most in danger. so president biden called mike lauler. the kind of republican i used to deal with. reporter: democrats seeking to unseat him were furious. people were horrified when they heard what joe biden had to say. did biden get it wrong? he not only got it wrong,
republicans in the polls, endorsements from office holders is going up. not flat, not down, going up. liz cheney promised to just essentially serve as a reminder. remember that trump did thp this. especially on january 6th. but that s already been discussed and debated. to your point, a lot of republicans know january 6th happened. some have doubts about whether it was an insurrection, but people are lining up behind trump, even though this is a literal reminder and an ad, it might not do much to sway voters. maybe remind those in the mud term who is said why are we still talking about the 2020 election. i know that was a let skbrit mat election. she promises to shake this tree to the end. the question is with ads, does she travel? does she join the republican race? trump allies are hitting back at this saying she s just got a personal venn detta against the former president of the united states, but she was on the
