and there s a third block of voters of georgians who might be kind of in the mix of all this. they might be the voters of my devoted for governor brian kemp and other republicans, but did not vote for herschel walker, the trump backed candidate last. eric did not vote for trump in 2020. and that, to me, that is the most consequential and significant block of voters out there, because fatal side of the 2020 election. they decided the 2021 election. they decided the 2022 election, and there might not be many of them, but there s enough that they can swing the 2024 vote here in georgia. and craig, the republican white house judiciary committee, that launched a probe into georgia s election interference case against trump, is very similar to what they did after trump was indicted in new york. that was ca fani willis reacting to that request for her to turn over all the documents related disinvested a shun? we haven t heard much from her office on this particular probe yet. we expect he
not disclosing what will happen and that is nancy pelosi who has controlled this every step of the way, this impeachment proceeding and her decision is unknown to the members and when exactly she ll announce is unknown. but we ll probably know by this week. this is a significant position, a high profile position. something that elevate the careers of some of the members. look at what happened during clinton time when some people who presented the republican case to the senate, what happened to them? look at judiciary committee lindsey graham as being one of them. one thing members don t lack as we know is ambition and they re making this case privately and several members have told me they went directly to nancy pelosi and made the case. we ll see what she decides to say. laura. all eyes are on california this week, in addition to the democratic debate, candidates will use time in the golden state to campaign because it is a big super tuesday state. california moved the date up to
