counting down the three weeks left until midterm elections. early voting is currently underway in several states. candidates are squaring off in debates going this weekend, and as the clock runs out, democrats are calling on their biggest guns, president joe biden is in oregon today stumping for the democrats in that state gubernatorial race, which has become surprisingly close in a reliably blue state. vice president, kamala harris, is in michigan pushing early voting and raising money for democratic governor, gretchen whitmer s reelection campaign. and then there s the news this morning that former president, barack obama, will kick off his own midterm campaign travel with stops in at least three swing states later this month. michigan, wisconsin, and, of course, georgia. where democratic senator, raphael warnock, and his republican challenger, herschel walker, face off in their sole debate last night. walker, if nothing else, seemed to be working from the playbook populari
medicaid can t negotiate those prices. the transportation infrastructure bill, so the promises that were made coming out of the greatest pandemic, that i think we ve seen in over 100 years, and what the president has done and accomplished. the war in ukraine, the aggression with russia, and making sure you keep our nato allies together. i think that people are coming to the realization of what joe biden and the democrats have done, that s why you see biden s numbers going up, and you see people are now predicting any longer the thought they were going to take place when the republicans over democrats headlines over headlines starting to say it s a 50/50 shot. when you see that, you are going to see the turnout increase. now, let s go to the january 6th investigation. house select committee investigating the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol ending its knife and purportedly final hearing with
you name it. this is not theoretical. it is upon us. again, i don t want the downplay what is already in the transportation infrastructure bill on this. transportation is the biggest part of the economy that s putting greenhouse gases in. so the funding for transit, the funding for complete streets, the funding for a carbon reduction program that is running into billions of dollars, we re going to be able to invest in that. that s what we ve already partly achieved even while we re working with enormous urgency to keep fighting for that build back better because they re so important. you didn t say you could get it past manchin though. i m going toe have to have you come back. you guys have literally a coal baron in your way. transportation secretary pete buttigieg, we call him secretary pete around here, thank you very much. have a great evening. all right. still ahead, the free state of florida. ron desantis, really? sure, you re free to suppress voters, hit protesters with your
crises i mentioned a moment ago, covid and inflation. on top of that you have this structural challenge to your majority in the form of redistricting. it s going to be a difficult year for democrats, but if they go out there and talk about what they ve accomplished and with the economic agenda has done for the american people, i would say take a page from the playbook and get out there and sell this every day. donald trump is good at touting everything he thought he did that was good for the country. i think joe biden and democrats need to get out there more and spend 2022 telling the american people how they ve gotten over 200 million people vaccinated. unemployment is down, wages are up, more money is going into family s pockets. child poverty has been cut. we have passed a $1 trillion transportation infrastructure bill, something i would say the last five or six presidents have tried to do and failed at. so this has been a good year. they just need to go out and tell people how is
administration and trying to play catch up once the toothpaste left the tube it s gone and they keep trying to go back and replay it what i have seen this week says it all. progressive members of the democratic caucus completely in control. they have a 4 vote majority in the they have a 4 vote majority in the house and they are tied in the senate. you see, democrats acting as if they have this huge mandate to be able to go as far as left as they possibly want. they are trying to stick way too much down the throats of the american taxpayers and finally, some members of the democrat moderate caucus if that exists are actually starting to push back. what we have seen from the frozens it is all or nothing. they want everything. they are not willing to they are not willing to compromise. they are not willing to talk. it s either all or everything. and, unfortunately, what you are seeing is they are holding hostage programs that need to be passed. we weren t able to pass a transportation
