May do versus what they shall do can swing the election just see january 6 and pence s role after the 2020 election for that now was 66 days left until votes are counted. This cycle, there are debates happening over new election rules. In a moment, we ll talk about nebraska and a voting rights fight that you may not know was going on.

A few minutes ago i was listening to you and dan goldman have a conversation when you uttered the words, the my pillow guys soliloquy, words i never thought i would hear in my life. Im deeply appreciative for you kicking it off for us. Have yourself a great game and well talk about the bucs on monday. I will do, ali. Thank you very much, my friend. Thanks, friend. All right. Well, tonight it is a tale of two parties, one is governing and the other it is not clear what the other party is doing.
