cowards about it. why kevin mccarthy still isn t ruling out testimony in the wake of his january 6th subpoena. plus, why republican politicians are actually calling for america to intentionally starve children amid the baby formula storage shortage. and new reporting on what we really know about those rumors surrounding vladimir putin s health. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes, we are just a few days away from the next major primary night. this time in pennsylvania. both the governor s mansion and one of the state senate seats are open races, without an incumbent on the ticket. which means both parties have an equal opportunity. and the senate, race republicans are hoping to hold the seat that is being vacated by retiring senator pat toomey, but they face obstacles along the way. donald trump of course was the anti establishment candidate in 2016, and 2015. so self styled of such. but he is now the republican establishment. and rec
more interesting closer to january 6 based on conversations they were having both with trump and with folks who were involved in the planning of that day. and brooks have said afterwards, he s talked to trump and that trump was still talking to him after the 6th about trying to get reinstated which there is no mechanism in the constitution to even do. so we know why the committee wants to talk to these people and we know they ve decided to escalate by going to subpoenas. but it doesn t sound like any of are going to answer the subpoenas. listen to what they told our team on capitol hill yesterday. i have not seen this subpoena. look, my view on committee has not changed. they re not conducting a legitimate investigation. they just want to go after their political opponents. the fact that they sent it to the press before they send it to the members just proves this is all about headlines. this whole thing is just a charade. i think this is a illegitimate committee and th
very well could be next. he also went further ripping the republican party as, quote, petty and extreme. saying it is, quote, coward by trump. well, he is obviously angry with senate republicans. all of whom, blocked voted to block the women s health protec protection act this afternoon. this is the bill that would he ensure roe s protections. the president vowing, quote, we will continue to defend women s constitutional rights to make private reproductive choices as recognizes in roe v. wade. and my administration will continue to explore the measures and toll tools at our disposal to do just that. look, tonight, it is immediate knot immediate apparent what those tools and measures oob could be. a democratic-controlled congress seemed to have nowhere close to 60 votes. in fact, they didn t even get 50. and while the president does blame republican, keep in mind a member of his own party did side with gop because he believes the bill went way beyond keeping the status quo.
the founders were designing a government for a country whose entire population was the same size. the same size as the population of brooklyn today. it was inconceivable to the founders that the unexplored areas of the continent would eventually include a state called wyoming, with a population smaller than many of the country s biggest cities. and that even deeper into the unexplored territory, they would eventually be a state named by its spanish speaking settlers that would eventually have a population to rival the size of some of the most influential countries in the world. and the economy of that state alone would grow to be the seventh largest economy in the world, if it were a separate country. the founders would have recognized that the 40 million people of california, being restricted to voting for the same number of senators as the 580,000 people of wyoming, is a crime against democracy. we long ago outgrew the senate formula of two per state, which has evolved to a
endorsement is shaping the party. alex mooney carrying the endorsement of the former president. as we do in these primary nights, john king and the magic wall. what are you seeing in west virginia? talk about why that is so interesting. two primaries in west virginia. you mentioned this. a trump versus the establishment match. alex mooney versus david mckmc mckinley. u west virginia lost a seat in the reapportionment. trump endorsed alex mooney. he is the more conservative of the two house members. the real reason is because of two votes from mckinley. mckinley likes the bipartisan approach. voted for the biden infrastructure bill. from trump s perspective, mckinley voted for the independent commission proposed to look into the january 6 attacks on donald trump. david mckinley is persona non grata. you see mckinley with a narrow lead. we are early. trump is for mooney. pro-trump forces. we are counting, 11% in. mckinley, a lead over mooney.pe cl close race. may say biis a b
