that s the thing. they re not anywhere close to being selfish like i would argue some other generations. john, this actually sounds like good news. it sounds like this is a generation that wants to make the world stronger, smarter, better. yeah. i absolutely think so, stephanie. i paint a very optimistic picture by the end of this book. i have predictions. it s hopefulness. that s what seems to be resonating despite the insecurity and the trauma they ve grown up under. i don t think there s any generation that s grown up under more trauma more quickly in at least seven, eight decades than this generation. but when boomer, gen x, millennials vote, this group doubled that level of participation in 2018 midterms, and in 2020 they broke all voting records including when. obama was on the ballot. so this generation is actually walking the walk. that is really good to hear.
the battle over pandemic policy could be reshaping how some voters cast their ballots as covid, masking, remote learning and schools plays out. parents, specifically suburban women, who helped propel the democrats to power in 2020 could be breaking ranks ahead of this year s midterms. evan morris santoro joins us live with this. good morning. i went to ohio to find out just about this whole story we re talking about right now. moms on two sides of this idea of what democrats are facing in the midterms because of the pandemic in schools. yeah, good. nice job. what about this? look at my voting records. i m a registered democrat. reporter: some people think this cleveland woman is brewing the strongest tea in american politics right now. if you would have told me like two years ago that i would be alienated from the democratic party, i wouldn t have believed
liberal policies and about the desire of so many americans of limited government and more freedom in their lives? thanks for the question. a couple of things. i think it is interesting to see with these population booms are happening. but it s also interesting to remember that one folks who leave these blue states with his purple states and go to red states, they don t lose their political sensibilities. they tend to take them with him. jessica georgia. georgia now has two democratic senators and very likely it will the most competitive governor s race in american history between brian kemp and stacey abrams. the same goes for florida when you see him on the ballot versus marco rubio as well as north carolina where sherry beasley who is a former head of the supreme court north carolina is now running for the senate and has a good chance of winning. so looks like when these blue voters or blue state voters are moving to red states, they are bringing their voting records with them. j
the personal information was being put at risk. can you address how this kind of sweeping intrusion into election and personal data under the guise of an election audit might violate federal election laws? yes. let me just say on the previous point that you made, i don t know if i could give you a quick answer, and we ve had that for quite some time. we have election administrators and at the national association of secretaries of state for every state, and that s what prompted us to establish this task force. and there are provisions of the voting rights acts. and election officials to keep control and custody of voting records and voting equipment which are leading to the last
the republican party by trumpism, which is to say you have somebody who supported donald trump. anthony gonzalez, if you look alt at his voting record he was right there with donald trump. he did say what the president did on january 6th was worthy of impeachment by casting that vote, it wasn t good enough. he got a primary and threats of mob violence against his family. so now another one of these small group of ten republicans who voted to impeach leaving american politics. yeah, and we saw this with elise stefanik taking over the leadership post are from liz cheney. if you look at their voting records, liz cheney voted much more frequently with donald trump and with conservatives than elise stefanik, but on the key issue of protecting during impeachment, she was not there and stefanik was and so she loses her rank for that purpose. there s a few things that are, i
