talk to it remotely the heel national politics reporter bussell got meredith mcgraw the politico national political reporter welcome to both of you. if i could begin with and what donald trump is setting up here that he s very disappointed in those who decided to run against him and those who support those who decided to run against him. that strategy which is not new we have heard and seen this before is not hurting or denting his popularity in the party. to expect more of it? absolute this is what trump does if you are not loyal to trump and trump looks at kim reynolds someone who was supportive and she s running for election and reelection too. by the way he said he was key to that happening. which have gotten without him? a lot of these governors running for reelection and the other republicans have definitely leaned on the former president he s obviously very popular with their base but the same goes for ron desantis. i think we can expect to see this with him going forward
