Weakest and most vulnerable that we have seen President Trump in his four years in office. Besieged on all sides with calls for resignation, not only from a majority of democrats but also from some republicans, including republican senator lisa murkowski, republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, so you are seeing some pressure for the president to resign, and if not that pressure, then there are these calls for his impeachment or for the use of the 25th amendment to remove him from office or strip him of his president ial powers, and so, at this moment of vulnerability, youre also seeing a president increasingly isolated.

Deadline today for campaigns to submit exactly this. And this doesnt mean theyre necessarily calling for a recanvassing. Senator Bernie Sanders campaign on thursday said it submitted a list of about 14 discrepancies that it found when going through the numbers that the Iowa Democratic party had put out. Now, the deadline today is simply to submit documentation of those inaccuracies or discrepancies at the campaign finds. Theres a separate deadline on monday noon central time for them to actually call for a recanvassing. I know the national Democratic Party chairman of the Dnc Tom Perez said he would like a full recanvassing. But, fred, up until this point weve not seen anything thats something the campaigns themselves are interested in. According to the Iowa Democratic party chairman, it would have to come from a campaign specifically that request for them to go ahead and do a recanvassing.
