there is new word that the da will announce charges on monday. the suspect will be in court on tuesday. the motive remains under investigation. the reaction is pouring in from both sides the political aisle. that includes from democratic congressman jamal bowman. that is right here on msnbc. i worry about my safety constantly. i worry about the safety of my office constantly. i worry about the safety of my colleagues constantly. this was an assassination attempt on the speaker of the house of representatives. that is what it was. also developing, this is a live look at a rally in detroit, michigan. that is where president obama will take the stage. he is campaigning for democratic candidates. he will be heading to milwaukee for another event later today. we have the president speaking. president biden will still be voting. he is alongside first and voter, his granddaughter, natalie. 20 million americans have voted early with the midterms ten days away. here s a breakdown
bigger than 18 years ago when we got arnold schwarzenegger. joe biden wins california with 63% of the vote, in 2018, gavi newsom is elected governor. democrats have the advantage, are voters so mad enough democrats vote yes or stay home, right? sure. democrats have an enormous voting advantage in california. there s 5 million more democrats than republicans in the state. they knew going into this if they could turn out their voters, they would have a good shot at newsom retaining his job. none of our polling ever showed that. the only thing our polling showed, when it showed him in jeopardy, it was because democrats were apathetic about voting. it wasn t that they disapproved of his job performance, it s that they weren t excited about turning out. gavin newsom and his allies
i grew up down here. this is just not how these kinds of races are expected to play out. so i ve been trying to figure out sort of what they can do with this. how do they turn this enthusiasm in places like austin, in places like san antonio where i am right now into an actual voting advantage. and really today in austin was the first time that i heard o rourke make a very explicit call to action from his supporters. here s what he told the crowd in austin this afternoon. over the next 54 hours, i m asking you to give me every waking moment of your life. if you really want to win this, given what s at stake, given what s on the line, given the judgment of the people of the future, our kids, our grandkids, our conscience, let s make sure that when they look back on us they do so with pride. so placing the stakes of this race in pretty dramatic terms.
