later this hour. i am symone, and i have something to say. folks labor day weekend officially kicks off the mad dash to the midterms. in just over two months, voters across the country are going to cast ballots in races that will transform congress. that s pretty much the only short thing about the 2020 midterms. look, if you had asked me or anybody else in my democratic friends who will win this election in the spring. i m sure we would ve said get ready for a red wave. the stage truly seems set for widespread republican victories, but with the reversal of roe v. wade and a woman s right to make decisions about her own body being the left at the mercy of state governments. democrats have seen a steady rise in support. it s a development that just might fly in the face of historical trends. and allow democrats to keep congress blue. two of the country s most consequential states is where we are going to start today. it goes to the vote of pennsylvania, where mehmet ho
it seems kind of odd. but here s the thing about wisconsin. there s a lot of republicans there. i think back to simone, my time on capitol hill a decade ago, when ryan grievous my gosh, the new republican party is a wisconsin party. don t forget, people like paul ryan, like i said, the former chair of the rnc. shonda, feel a young congressman that went on to have a fox career. they had this young energy, the cool energy. ron johnson was ejected into their. these people have a lot of love, and the roots are deep in wisconsin. i am i m very honest, i m bearish about the situation in wisconsin. i don t think that ron johnson had as bad of a chance is some people think he has. there are routes routes that cannot be discounted in wisconsin for republicans. mandela barnes is hoping to upset those roots. marina, bill, jessie, we ve got
friends to be painting it with a broad based brush? that will be the tactic, but i don t know if it will be successful. honestly there are millions of republicans and conservatives out there who are looking to be heard looking to be seen. they have been drowned out for years now. this is a moment where the president of the united states regardless of party, is having a frank discussion to say that we are not just talking about policy differences, and talking about midterm elections were talking about the country. as lofty as that might sound, these moments happen and throughout history we don t realize they re happening until it s almost too late. i feel like the president is taking this opportunity to say that if you are conservative, i want to have policy discussions with you. a four-year-old publican, i want to have policy debates with you. if you are a mega republican somebody who has built an ideology around one man, one
the last compared to democrats in previous midterms, 2014 and 2010, and it was in those rural small town georgian counties. but in a state where there are 159 counties, it adds up to a lot of votes. if she had hit percentages in the 60 least populated counties in georgia jason carter did in 2014, she would be governor today. raphael warnock did a little better in some of those places particularly with black voters in south georgia. it can be misunderstood i think, from outside of the south. especially with black voters, black democratic voters, they do not just live in the cities. there are rural areas, and for democrats to win here they have to turn those voters out. really quickly we wanted to mention that you are focusing on democrats but republicans recognize this as well. republicans are making a big push. they re invested in a lot of store fronts all over this state, and in other battlegrounds including
and they re getting some money to particularly, herschel locke, or one could also offer. they need that help. it s going to be a big fight over those voters. we re going to be watching georgia. i want to play for you some comments on the chair of the democratic conventional campaign committee, sean patrick mahomes. take a listen to this. this is not republicans versus democrats. this is mainstream republicans and democrats versus maga extremists. this election is about mainstream versus maga. it seems to me that the democrats are trying to take away this talking point from republicans, that the president is being critical of the entire republican party. sean patrick maloney making this case on fox news to conservative odors. do you think that if they are going to be successful, or well the tactic from my conservative
