trying to make his case to voters there saying that he understands that he can t win with democrats alone, and now this is sort of sidelined him and he s not able to do this. in the critical days ahead candidates want to be out on the trail as much as possible. he now can t do that until he recovers from this illness. let s talk about the mid terms. he s been out campaigning for that. mid terms right around the corner. you follow the candidates and you talk to voters. when you chris cross the country, give us the polls. how injuringized are voters just a little over two months ahead of the mid sglrms seems like people are certainly starting to wake up. we re seeing this burst of really outrage. i don t know if enthusiasm is the right word, but they are clued in on the democratic side in the wake of roe being overturned. what i m also seeing from voters or hearing from voters is that they are craving authenticity. i think in pennsylvania we see lieutenant governor fetterman who is the
for the legislature to pass a ban or severe restrictions on abortion. what is that message and from your perspective, what do democrats need to do in the wake of roe being wiped out and dobbs being the law of the land? i don t think that we should o overemphasize the political nature of this. democrats have always stood to making civil rights of all people a priority. that is a basic fundamental component, a foundation of everything that democrats believe. and a woman s right to control her own health care and her own body is a principal part of that. but i don t think that people judge we ve seen many democrats by only talking about the right to an abortion, we see many democrats lose because, you know, it is about inflation. right now people are worried about their jobs and is their pay going to keep up with inflation. these are real household concerns, kitchen table
fighters, when what you think is happening is virus across the country. it s inconsistent and i think it s actually offering a very interesting path for democrats to prove that they re actually the ones trying to prevent abortion, even for the people, a minority of americans, who are still staunchly antiabortion. it may even agree with roe being overturned. who is actually trying to prevent abortion? the most effective way of really doing that, of not just cost-effective, but effective, period, of making sure that there s less unplanned pregnancies, and listening for abortion, as contraceptives. so, democrats can walk away coming into the midterms with that message. it s so strange to see them go after birth control and, sort of, conflate abortion with contraceptives and say, it s all the same thing, when it is not. scientifically. also, speak to the idea that they ve been off more than they can chew, in terms of the
combined now with the chance for state legislatures the chance to overturn elections are a direct assault on the bake principle of this nation and that is the right to vote and the right to participate in the election of our representatives. so that is central, in addition to a range of other important issues. but it s foundational, it s central and it s front and center as we meet here in washington, d.c. i m curious also, how you will, you know, really energize the urban league and all of the supporters and followers when you named so many different things right now that are going on, january 6th, the argument that some won t even speak of it, the abortion, with roe being overturned. of guns. it sometimes feels and perhaps you could speak to this like we re going backwards. there s a deliberate effort
suck at massive jane. can they fix that? it s a question many are asking just four months out from the mid term biden s numbers are low, and some are frustrated by his response to roe being overturned. now there s more mass shootings and inflation. friday, i m a peacock show, i spoke with dan fight for who served as white house communications director during the obama administration. he s also the author of battle in the big lie, how fox, facebook, and maga media are destroying america. he tried to answer those questions. nobody messaging can stop the supreme court, whose majority have been reported from doing what they re doing. when you have to do, is you
