Squeaker which side prevails. So whether it is saccone by two or conor lamb by two matters less than it is a four point margin or whatever it ends up.

joining me now, pennsylvania democratic congressman lam who ran in the senate primary. it s good to see you again, congressman. you, too. what are you seeing in the indications from philadelphia and counties? we re hearing indications that could be a weak turnout so far. what is the latest from your perspective? i m worried about that in the city of philadelphia as well. that s a problem that goes back a few election cycles and when you talk to the people who are really connected to those neighborhoods and worked on the ground level for years they ve been saying they don t believe our party has invested quite enough in helping them turn out the vote on election day. that was something i aspired to help change and i think we re going to find out tomorrow for good or ill if we ve changed it. in general though, i think democratic enthusiasm is high across the state. even if there are some weak spots. i was out all weekend

outside the parties forever. is it a temporary realignment for you? it s hard to look beyond november, to be honest. i don t know where i ll be from a party affiliation perspective ten years from now. i just have no idea. and we ve often talked about the political realignment happening within the republican party so fascinating to get to talk with him about that. but also if you want to see the real ramifications of these kinds of well funded, doing well independent candidates, look no further than the way president biden spent part of his weekend campaigning in oregon, one where the democrat is now struggling because ths a three-way race because of a well funded independent. good point. a lot of folks were scratching their heads wondering why he s in a state like oregon and you just put it there. thank you so much. and thank you for watching this
