he brought up this year s campaigns. that s j.d. vance. j.d. vance. you re looking at him live on your screen. here s donald trump talking about him yesterday. . we ve endorsed dr. oz. we ve endorsed j.p. right? j.d. mandell, and he s doing great. they re all doing good. oh, boy. yeah. you know, i mean, you feel like this could be a campaign ad. the mandel campaign and many trump supporters, people like ted cruz and other folks in the trump orbit are saying he should never endorse j.d. vance. j.d. vance is sort of a johnny come lately to the trump band wagon. has said derisive things about republican voters. maybe this will help josh mandel in the primary fight. so far you ve seen vance get a boost from this. i think he s at 32% in the
he was in office. but he s not going out there campaigning, saying donald trump or the highway. and i think that that is such a strong point of remembering where the republican party has evolved. this is rob portman s seat. they are all trumpers. they might not get trump s endorsement, but they have certainly most of the folks in this field, fully endorsed trumpism. right, and you also see, we ll show you the pictures, ted cruz who ran against trump in 2016. that did not go well. he s campaigning for mn mandel over the weekend. are the primaries settled or do we have fractures in the republican party that will play out and carry over to 2024? yeah. i certainly think everybody is watching. you could even say the white house is watching as they re trying to set up this as a contrast between republicans and the biden administration instead of this being a referendum on the biden administration. we heard the president say multiple times, this is not your father s republican party.

her to come in to a presidential race right now. just tactically, mechanically. you know? she s already missed the deadlines on getting her name on the ballot in certain states. she is not michael bloomberg. while she s very well off, she does not have billions of dollars to still fund a presidential campaign. difficult to raise money mow, but she has a lot to say. she is a former first lady, former senate, former secretary of state, and by the way, also the last person who ran against trump. i think listening to her and to her advice is very important. not just for the country but for the people running now. so i, you know, more power to her. i want her out there all the time, if she can be. patti, thanks. bye for now. bye-bye, thanks. check in o ontweets and facebook comments. what do we have? from facebook. hillary prepping herself to got back in. guaranteed strategic gone op stern s show to show he human
