agenda. put life into conspiracy theories and lies. that s the only thing about trying to do. i think the polling number you mentioned earlier, jonathan, it was only 16% of the country carrots or even knows what they re talking about. that means republicans the meantime are alienating 85% of the country. that is a failing strategy if you ask. me fills in 2018, 2020 and 2022. that s where they re playing at. what i appreciate coming out of the serious as a democrats know exactly how to set a narrative. the weaponization committee hearing, you had jamie raskin, playing from jordan s words back to him about how they re playing to weaponize this committee as her plan for 2024. the house oversight committee. you had democrats calling out how twitter change the rules so that a comedy trump. excuse me. you also twitter executives saying it was the trump white house calling them to silence other members and basically civilians which is a clear
harris after initially declining to do so. to set this up let s listen 20 to what she said initially. he should run again because he has gotten a tremendous amount done. should kamala harris be his choice the second time around? i want to defer to what makes biden comfortable but they have to be a team and my sense is they are. i don t mean that by suggesting i think there are any problems. i think they are. dana: what happened to the sisterhood there in the democratic party? she came out and said i fully support the president and kamala harris should be on the ticket. the initial instincts were different. yeah, dana. i don t know what s worse. the slip-up from her which she later corrected or kamala harris s polling number. a lot of democrats worried about the vice president s political
as you well know, texas has passed one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country and it was the scene of that horrible school shooting of uvalde in may. interestingly, governor abbott s polling number have not really changed since april. if we look at where he was in terms of the gubernatorial race, in april, he was at 48%. and today, in july, he s at 49%. now beto o rourke, one of his rivals, has risen. what do you think the chances are for unseating the governor? i ve seen different polls all saying the same thing. this is a close race. one that is winnable. it the people recognize that whatever version of greg abbott you might have voted for previously, that s not the one on the ballot. this is an extremist who has passed laws that are not, it is
to run again in 2024. president biden: 92% said if i did they d vote for me. harris: that s wrong about that particular polling number. we fact check your press secretary on it yesterday. the 92% actually refers to the number of democrats who say they would vote for biden in a hypothetical rematch between him and donald trump. that doesn t mean if there is another democrat somebody they like better or would actually want to have in office that he could beat that democrat. that s not what that means. a recent column asks the question are democrats stuck with joe biden in 2024? joe biden is a very unpopular president whose performance discouraged his party s base. that s a bad combination for democrats who are facing a 2022 mid-term election. if he stubbornly refuses to pack it in, what then? let s bring in molly hemingway, fox news contributor and editor
