This was a watershed event. The affordable Care Act is here to stay. Reporter what the decision tells us about trumps three nominees. Inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. Welcome to Inside Politics sunday. Im abby philip. President biden had a chance to hone his diplomatic skills at last Weeks Summit with vladimir Putin And Hell need them to be sharp in the critical days ahead for his top domestic priorities. Among them is voting rights, scheduled for a key Senate Vote this tuesday. Senator Joe Manchin made a last Ditch Appeal to republicans for a narrower plan than most democrats want but a key player Stacey Abrams says she can live with it. If Joe Manchin and the u. S. Senators who support this legislation are willing to come together on a compromise we will make progress. We will help to continue to ensure access to democracy for as many americans as possible. The reality is it is still dead in the water without republican support. Here is what the Gop Leader in the senate thinks of it. Equally unacceptable, totally inappropriate. All republicans i think will oppose that as well. Joining us now with their reporting and their insight cnns kaitlan collins. Julie pace of the associated press, and my guests. So, p. K. , can anyone be surprised that mcconnell says, hell no to a voting Rights Bill . Yeah. Mitch mcconnell has cared about very few policy issues. He is really always about power and politics and holding the majority. One issue that has run through his entire career in the senate has always been elections and election laws, Campaign Finance issues, and voting rights. And so this is one of those things that he has probably always been a no on when it comes to this bill. And as manchin was trying to move a little bit into the middle, trying to do a little bit of modest reforms to what was considered a liberal Bill But Mcconnell was never really going to go for it. It set up a situation where on Tuesday Theyll have this sort of preliminary test vote. Itll almost certainly fail 50 50 if all 100 show up, will get nowhere near the 60 votes needed, then the democrats have to figure out their next play. If you are Joe Manchin, does this make you rethink the whole idea . He actually has said, i am convinced we can get bipartisan support for a pared down voting Rights Bill. That seems clearly untrue at this point. It doesnt seem likely at all. It is hard to imagine what you could put on the floor in the senate that would get bipartisan support for all of reasons paul outlined. The question for manchin is if you actually care about this issue and want to see progress you probably wont get that with republican votes. That leads us to the conversation about the filibuster. That is where i think and paul knows better than i do, where you get stuck with Joe Manchin. It is hard to see how Joe Manchin who sees himself not just as somebody who supports bipartisanship but who is a believer in the institution of the senate. He believes that the senate should work with the filibuster in place. I think it is very unlikely Hell Move off of that position to get a voting Rights Bill through. What this does do is they wont get any legislative victories out of this but theyre getting a symbolic victory. If they have Joe Manchin onboard and can have every Democrat Vote in favor of it and the republicans foil it and they can say here is our argument that we have done everything we can and the senate republicans and their maneuvering is denying us the ability to actually move this forward. I think that is just as important to democrats to be able to sell that and talk about that and that is why it was so important when Joe Manchin came out and outlined these guidelines, now they can say okay. We did have all of our party onboard because otherwise it would have given republicans an ability to say not even all democrats can agree on what they want to see move forward. Would democrats have been okay with What Manchin was putting forward . Some were saying, you know, this is a republican Bill Light but at the same time you had Stacey Abrams saying hey, i can come to the table on this. Did democrats kind of dodge a bullet here in having to sort out their own internal fights . Senator schumer even said he was open to adopting manchins changes in order to get all democrats together. He is bringing this up for a vote to keep this a live herb unite. He knows how important this issue is to democrats across the country. This is all messaging to keep this Issue Front and center and to say we are the party of voting rights. Republicans are not. I will say, though, i think republicans are worried about the messaging, the show of force they showed last week, more than a Dozen Senate republicans coming together to hold a press conference. Senator mcconnell having two Press Conferences in one week is unusual. In washington. He doesnt like to go in front of the press in washington that much. And so to see him do this, they are concerned with how they are being perceived on this issue. But meanwhile, you know, as we were just talking about whether there were divisions among democrats, there are on infrastructure. On this issue of infrastructure, a lot of pushback from folks like Alexandria Ocasiocortez who is saying what are we doing here in trying to compromise with republicans . Are we passing a deal that makes the most jobs . Are we passing a deal that brings down the most Climate Emissions . Are we passing a deal that raises wages and actually improves our infrastructure for the next generation . And if a bipartisan deal sucks up trillions of dollars in bridges to nowhere because it makes people feel good, then that is going to be a huge concern. So, kaitlan, is the White House still committed to a bipartisan bill at this point . They say that they are taking this latest proposal that has been gaining and theyre looking at it. I think they have the a. O. C. S and other progressives and concerns in the back of their minds which is were going to move forward and maybe get this bipartisan deal and then not everyone is going to be onboard with a massive package later down the road. So the White House has kind of been quietly navigating this. As President Biden was overseas this past week with his top aides still in town working on it, because they see that Chuck Schumer and others are moving forward with the Reconciliation Process to Fast Track a potentially bigger bill but i do think that is the concern they have to worry about is that even if they get a bipartisan bill that people will vote for, then they have to worry about, you know, theyve got the slim majority and these factions of progressives can really derail the agenda if they dont like what the Climate Proposal is going to look like. I think schumer is trying to take care of that by moving forward with the Reconciliation Bill so they can say vote for this bipartisan bill. Here is what weve already got moving on for the reconciliation. Both Issues Voting and infrastructure this is the challenge of the biden presidency in this moment. He wants to pursue bipartisanship but every step he or moderates take toward a bill that could bring some republicans onboard risk losing democrats on the left. He just doesnt have the numbers right now to afford to loss those progressives. They have to keep the progressives happy, try to get some republicans onboard. It is very difficult to see on both of these issues and pretty much anything else biden wants to do going forward how he can keep the coalitions together and make everyone happy. One thing progressives are saying that they want is to maybe maybe well be okay with this bipartisan bill thats small. By small i mean 1. 2 trillion. But we have to have some guarantees that there will be a Reconciliation Bill Thats Everything we really want down the road. And the Reconciliation Bill that, you know, Bernie Sanders is talking about, is 6 Trillion. How realistic is that . The Sanders Budget is its the kitchen sink. Its the family room, dining room, everything. The whole house. Yeah. Its almost the entire democratic domestic agenda. It is probably a nonstarter. But what progressives are really worried about is this replay of what happened in 20092010 where the house went forward with a Climate Bill called cap in trade, taxing carbon, then it passed this month, 12 yoears ag, then just sat in the senate and sat in the senate. So theyre worried there is going to be a White House that signs on to this deal for bipartisan bridges, tunnels, highways, roads, traditional infrastructure, and then their stuff, the climate stuff, and taxing the rich, is all going to sit there in a secondary car waiting for its turn to get on the track and what happens if by then Joe Manchin says, you know what . I liked the first bill more. I dont really need the second bill. They dont want to see that happen a second time in 12 years. That could very well happen. How do you assure it wont . Right. I am also skeptical of a 6 Trillion Bill Clearing the senate. Were already hearing from Senator John Tester of montana that that is a lot of money. Senator manchin says he is interested to read the text once it comes out but that hes concerned about the deficit. So i dont see how that works. House Budget Chairman John Yarmin says we are all Joe Manchins. There isnt a lot of flexibility when you have slim majorities but it is unclear how theyll rally around this. My idea is maybe if they have something in it for everyone, something included in this massive bill that works for every single democrat, maybe some might hold their nose for the large, top line, and ultimately go with it because their own priorities for their communities are in the bill. Maybe and that is a big maybe. The truth is youre right. There are more Joe Manchins in the senate than i think people give credit for. Coming up next, why some democrats are pushing the Supreme Courts oldest justice to retire as soon as possible. Tonight. Ill be eating cheesy Cauliflower Pizza with extra broccolini.

In 2016 then Candidate Donald Trump made a promise. His Supreme Court picks would push through conservative priorities like striking down Obama Care, unlike the george w. Bush appointed chief justice. Justice roberts gave us Obama Care. Obama care would have been terminated twice if it werent for justice roberts. I will work with people that i respect, conservative people, and will appoint judges that will be good and i dont think ill have any catastrophic appointment like justice roberts. But so far it hasnt turned out that way. On thursday, two of his three nominees, justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett joined the majority in the 7 It Decision to keep the law intact. Joining us now is cnns legal analyst. Joan, three strikes and youre out, right . Does that mean that Obama Care settled law, law of the land, and probably not going anywhere as far as the courts are concerned . Right. At least so far as the court is concerned for the overall measure. I am sure we will see more challenges, picking around the edges that the court might even accept, but right now in its entirety, it stands. And this was a ruling in which the court said, dont even come here with this claim. It rejected it outright saying, you states, republican states, led by texas, didnt even have any injury to assert here. It was actually a relatively easy vote for Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. It wasnt on the merits. A is much as Donald Trump is stung by this ruling, it wasnt as momentous as back in 2012 when John Roberts on his own cast that deciding vote. This tells us something about those two appointees, but there is more to learn. As a political matter, this has been the story of what happens when a law is on the books, becomes part of peoples lives, then becomes far less politically potent for the republicans. The republicans have tried to repeal this in Congress And Havent been able to. Is it time to give up . It is a remarkable evolution. Paul and i remember covering this from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue in the early days and both the politics and legal threat Obama Care was under for a number of years really made it uncertain whether this was going to be a measure that sustained its presence in peoples lives. Now that it has, it has become popular. There are americans who oppose democratic politics who do not want to see this law rolled back. Republicans have a choice right now. Do they want to keep fighting essentially the last war on Health Care . Do they want to keep going back to the Obama Care well . Do they want to come to the table . This law is not perfect and it is a bit confusing and a bit sprawling. They want to come to the table with something that would fix what they see as the problems. They havent gotten there yet. It is confusing why they havent but that is the choice they have to make right now. In terms of the court, joan, you wrote this week this latest development suggests a possible 333 pattern with roberts, brett, barrett, and kavanaugh at Center Right putting a check on their more conservative brethren who regularly push to overturn precedent. I think a lot of people would be surprised to read that analysis and thinking about Kavanaugh And Barrett as the Center Right of the court right now. That is because of how rightward the whole court has gone. Neil gorsuchs, President Trumps first appointee is very consistently on the far right. Brett kavanaugh has since 2018 given us kind of a mixed record but, mainly, is over on the right. Its justice Amy Coney Barrett who is showing more caution now and i do have to say as someone who has studied John Roberts for the last five years very intensely, he is still in control. I really think he has shown that even though this is a 63 court now, he has five more conservative members to his right, he has been able to steady the court at least at this point and have as partners Justices Barrett and kavanaugh. Coming up for the court are some big decisions, right . Weve got some decisions on voting rights, some decisions on unions. Upcoming important cases on abortion rights, the death penalty, gun control. Some people saying, hold your horses in categorizing Amy Coney Barrett as anything frankly until we see what she does. It is also putting pressure on Justice Breyer from progressives to call it a day. They do not want another situation where they have, well, i mean, they dont want a lot of different scenarios. Theyre putting pressure on him to get off the court so they can appoint someone else. Dick durbin the senate Democratic Whip told my colleague this earlier in the year, one Heart Beat away. The senate democratic majority right now is based on a 50 50 Senate And Vice president harriss tiebreaking Vote And Durbin said it. We are one Heart Beat away. If some senator gets sick and the democratic senator gets sick they lose their majority. All of a sudden the ability to confirm Justice Breyers replacement next summer all of a sudden comes in doubt. So there are a lot of progressives, a lot of regular old democrats, who would just like to see him retire now. He just wrote the opinion on Health Care. Go out on top. Retire now so they can quickly replace him with a younger progressive, and not get into the situation they were with Justice Ginsburg where they were waiting and waiting and time ran out in a bad situation for liberals. The message, retire now, was literally in the newspapers, in politico, a full Page Ad telling Justice Breyer, time to get out of here. But the reason for that is because of this from the Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell in the senate, who is Playing Hardball on the issue of whether they will confirm judges i think it is highly unlikely. In fact, no. I dont think either party if it controlled if it were different from the present would confirm a nominee in the middle of an election. If you are Joe Biden, that is a real problem for you. So what is the White House thinking right now . They have someone in judge Brown Jackson just affirmed to the Appellate Court who progressives want to be breyers replacement. Where are their heads at on how quickly this needs to happen . I think it is one of the most sensitive issues any White House deals with. Yes, you can see people like a. O. C. And others start to take steps forward and say he should retire but for the White House it is a different matter. We know it is the top of every president s mind when it comes to Legacy Making and i think biden is well aware of that, thinking my predecessor who i say i am a 180 of just had three picks to the Supreme Court, which is astonishing. That does not happen. It is so rare. And so i think that is something that is on their minds of course every White House has a prepared list of potential nominees that they could get ready and theyre constantly vetting people i think. Even if it is in a casual manner they are prepared for it. I think the question is does it come to a point where people and the president s allies start to try to apply that pressure in a real way . If you are Justice Breyer youre thinking stop telling me what to do. Thats right. He once was the Senate Counsel and worked with the senate judiciary committee. He is very close to biden. Hes close to ron klain, many people with the biden administration. But he loves his job. Hes been there for 27 years. I dont think hes quite ready to leave yet. But he is also a realist. And i think at this point it could go either way. I would watch not just on the last day of the term but maybe a little bit after that. Just because, you know, right now everything is so focused on finishing up the term. He might make a decision a little bit later. I think it is just a tough, very tough personal call. Absolutely. Especially for someone who has wanted the court to be outside of the realm of politics. Thats right. Thanks for being with us this morning. Coming up next, republicans find new Culture Wars to fight.

Instead, it is all about Culture Wars and especially racial resentment. Critical Race Theory teaches children as young as kindergarten to be ashamed of their skin color. They are giving propaganda to our children and turning our children away from Faith And Family and our founding principles and ideals. Treating students based on their race rather than the content of their character is not something we should be putting taxpayer dollars toward. We banned critical Race Theory in our school system. The truth is it is an academic theory that holds racism is embedded in our legal systems and policies and it is not something actually being taught in k12 schools. It is also not about making white people feel bad about being white and yet it has become the catchall for republicans who want to use race as a tool as a political tool specifically and if you take a look at whats been going on around the country, so far eight states have banned critical Race Theory but many more are considering bans, other kinds of restrictions about how race can be taught as a part of the history. Is this just a catchall for something republicans feel is a necessary thing for them to stoke among their base going into 202 it . I think these are issues they think these are issues whether critical Race Theory or banning transgender athletes from competing in girls and womens sports they think these Hot Button Issues animate their base so they are leaning into this. I think its risky because it can be alienating. Its not really based in reality. Talking about systemic racism, talking about White Supremacy is not the same thing and should not be conflated with critical Race Theory. Here we are, we just celebrated juneteenth, and while it was a wonderful thing, im wondering how is this going to be taught in schools . The context for future generations when we cant even have conversations about race. Right. There is a lot of irony there. Even in the unanimous Senate Vote on juneteenth where some of the same republicans are saying dont even teach about Slavery And Racism in school. P. K. , you write this week that republicans are not actually grappling with the biden agenda. Is this focus on critical Race Theory something that is a distraction from what they should be doing, or is it the best that theyve got . It is a little bit of both. They have there are senior republicans that would like to focus a lot of their attention on the biden agenda, the sort of Bernie Sanders agenda, the 6 Trillion budget we were just talking about, the fears of inflation. But they are constantly getting pulled deeper into these Culture Wars in which youre not really talking about those Bread And Butter issues, where youre trying to win back suburban voters who have fled republicans in the last five to ten years. It is hard to do. With critical Race Theory there are some republican strategists who think it is a scary thing for some suburban mothers so maybe it can have some political bounce with that crowd. Its hard to know. Theyd be much better off focusing on the agenda, really, by every measure possible, a really large, large spending proposals that have stoked real fears of inflation. But theyre just not there yet. Who is the king of all Culture Wars but former President Trump . He is largely responsible for this focus. Exactly. That is who drives the agenda . Former President Trump for the republican party. He is responsible for driving so much of this because he watched someone on Fox News i think a year ago talking about this, invited that person to the White House, had his Budget Director Draft a memo essentially canceling all Diversity Training but recently when he was speaking in North Carolina this is one of the loudest applause lines. We are told by People Trump was surprised by how much attention it got. He pays attention to these kind of things. If he is endorsing someone he listens to what gets the most applause. This got a lot of applause. We are hearing this is going to be something when he is making these appearances ahead of the midterms pushing this. It is going to be at the top of the agenda rather than inflation concerns. A year ago today Donald Trump was in tulsa, oklahoma, and interestingly, there is a new book coming out by Michael Bender of the Wall Street Journal that gives some insight into this. He writes that in june, 2020 the most senior republican in the White House, senior black republican i should say in the White House, was writing a proposal for trump to make juneteenth a federal holiday but the outcry over trumps rally on the day that commemorated the end of slavery convinced smith to shelf the plan. Trump hadnt thought to ask his most senior black official about holding a rally on juneteenth. He did it anyway. And then subsequently took up this banner of critical Race Theory. These things are all related in many ways. Theyre all related. Yes, Donald Trump i think has pushed Culture Wars to the forefront for republicans, but this is a place that republicans had been heading for quite sometime. Often they could wrap it in the mantle of a policy debate. But Barack Obama being The First Black President was really a step forward for republicans in leaning into Culture Wars, what he represented. Hillary clinton as a woman running to be the first Woman President also stoked a lot of the fears weve seen among some people in this country who worry women and people of color taking steps forward mean they have to take a step back. The problem right now is Joe Biden is an older, white man. He is not a target personally in the same effective way Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton were so he creates a little more complication for them so they lean into him with things like critical Race Theory, a small thing that bubbled up in communities around the country and tried to make It Representative of a larger change. Democrats believe this gives them an advantage because biden isnt as personally offensive to some republicans but they are going to keep pushing and trying to link him to all of the measures. These attacks dont seem to stick to biden so as much as they try to make him the sort of Bogey Man on the left it doesnt seem to be working. We were talking about juneteenth. I want to note that not all republicans In The House supported the designation. They take issue with us having two independence days. The Term Independence being in the title. Sure. Yes. They also take issue with the idea that federal employees should get another holiday. Right. All of this is a Smoke Screen for the fact they dont want juneteenth to be a holiday. On Joe Biden, this is a candidate who was in the democratic primary attacked for his ties to segregationists. I mean, this is the flashbook and then the reality we witnessed this week. It was hurtful. To hear you talk about the reputations of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. We come to terms with the mistakes weve made. I think this will go down for me as one of the greatest honors i will have had as president. He is now the one to sign juneteenth into law as a federal holiday. It is a big turnaround for him. This is a huge ordeal. I feel like at times were kind of glossing over the importance of making a federal holiday. It doesnt happen very easily. It came together so quickly that i think it caught a lot of people off guard with Ron Johnson dropping his opposition to it. I think that line there from biden was one of the most telling of his entire remarks where he was really reflecting on not just what it means for the nation and the country but for his legacy and saying it is one of the greatest honors he thinks hell have as president is incredibly significant. It is. And it is incredibly significant that this is the first juneteenth weekend, so happy juneteenth to all of you.

In tonights Cnn Special Report Senior Investigative Correspondent Drew Griffin sits down with congressional staffers, Capitol Police, and rioters to talk about the motivations behind the January 6th attack. Reporter are you saying you dont think there was any fraud at all in this last election . Im saying that all 50 secretaries of state who are in charge of elections, republicans and democrats, found no widespread fraud that could have tilted this election in any way, so im just wondering, where is the fraud . Whenever you have the president of the united states making those statements this was a massive fraud. Senator Ted Cruz making those statements as well. Weve seen in the last two months unprecedented allegations of voter fraud. They hear a lot more. Theyre on upper Level Intelligence briefings. Whenever you have those high ups saying that, yes, there is cheating, what do you do . You know . And, yet, that is all a lie. But new video from the Justice Department offers an up close glimpse at the violent mob that believed those same election lies. So, kaitlan, this is the kind of thing we are seeing now from all these different angles. The violent mobs attacking police, the bystanders watching it happen doing nothing. What is the significance of being able to see this now . I think that is what is so stunning is to rewatch that. We lived it. We were all here when this was happening on January 6th. And to see i think people always relied on this idea that, well, there is evidence. There are facts. There is truth. I can show you this video. You can listen to this. You can hear from the Secretary Of State to say this isnt true. And yet people still believe it anyway. Like to see the evidence of that, and, yet, people still believe that wasnt a violent day. That wasnt an insurrection. It wasnt an attack on the capitol. I think that the Person Drew was interviewing there actually does make a really good point because it is that im listening to someone who is in a position of power telling me that this is real. I think that is what speaks to the disgrace is not the people who believe it necessarily because they are listening to people that they trust but it speaks to the disgrace of the former president and of senior republicans who have continued to push this idea or allow it to be pushed and give it life when they know there is nothing behind it. So people who do know better and are cynically using it for political purposes. Yeah. This has all come Full Circle for former Vice President Mike Pence who was at the Faith And Freedom conference this weekend and was booed by Trump Hecklers who called him a traitor for refusing to not certify the valid Election Results of the last election. This is pretty extraordinary. The senators words. I am deeply humbled. Ralph reid knows me well enough to know if you are Mike Pence and you want to run for president in the future, is there even a chance . It is difficult to see in the current climate in the republican party with the republican base where moik pences future lies. This is somebody who defended Donald Trump publicly over and over and over again in extraordinary moments and then fulfilled the basic function of his job, which was to essentially just Rubber Stamp a free and fair election and is called a traitor for doing so. Unless there is a sea change, unless the republicans whip back to a place where people like Mitt Romney and Mitch Mcconnell in his more private moments want them to be, it is hard to see where Mike Pence fits into that equation. There is no wiggle room. There has to be complete fidelity to trump. You know who wasnt booed that the conference . Governor Ron Desantis of florida. He has never wavered. You have to wonder what he would have done if he was in the former Vice President s position. We know what other republicans In The House would have done. This is Congressman Louie Gohmert spewing some pretty ridiculous Conspiracy Theories on the house floor. This is scary stuff. This is kind of third World Stuff. This is not only third World Stuff but this is like Putin Kind of activity. You know, so if there were federal agents that were involved on January 6th, we really need to know what the fbi knew and when they knew it. This is the republican party of 2021. Can democrats use this as a political tool against them . They have a chance, an opportunity. To answer congressMan Gohmerts question, yeah. The fbi was there that day. I saw them. They were there. The fbi police were inside the capitol protecting us after they evacuated us out of the senate. There has been this concerted effort for four to five months now to try to white wash what happened that day. The people who voted against the congressional Gold Medal for Capitol Police are opposed to using the Word Insurrection in the legislation. They have used terms like tourism, really wasnt that bad. What the Justice Department trying to do with these videos is to show the violence that happened. Mike pence is getting booed because on that day he would not violate the constitution. Meanwhile, eugene goodman, who threw out the first pitch Friday Night at Nats Park was ushering a mob of people wearing shirts praising auschwitz carrying a confederate flag away from a room where Mike Pence and his wife and his Daughter And Brother were hiding behind Secret Service agents. That is the line here. It was not it was an insurrection. It wasnt some secret fbi effort. It is completely shameful that there was even one vote against recognizing the bravery of these Capitol Hill Police officers. But here we are. Coming up next, why new York Citys democrats may nominate a tough on crime exrepublican for mayor.

New York Citys mayoral candidates are making their closing pitches after months of crime and covid. Retired cop Eric Adams is leading in the polls but top progressives hope their late endorsements could boost their candidate. We have an option of a candidate that has a lifetime of dedication to this. Racial justice, economic justice and climate justice, and that candidate is maya wiley. Maya wiley has taken the endorsement of aoc, elizabeth warren, Jamal Bowman and others in the world. Yet this race has come down to whether or not progressives still have the juice in New York city. Absolutely. The thing know about New York city nationally when we talk about New York its painted as a progressive, leftwing city but New York is quite diverse and this is a mayoral race so there are more Brass Tacks issues. The way people live their lives every day. This a test for progressives about how they can make arguments of progressive values in a race like this for a city that is quite diverse. Rising crime across the country but in major cities like New York, its been a real difference in peoples, you know, standard of living, what theyve come to expect and then you have someone like Eric Adams, former cop focusing almost exclusively but focusing heavily on that issue. Thats right. This has become the defining issue of the Mayors Race and i think the test is going to be what do New Yorkers want from their mayor . Do they want maya wiley, progressive who wants to reallocate funds to social programs and rethink policing or do they want a more traditional candidate like adams who spent many years as a top cop . Theyre also dealing with rank choiced voting for the first time. Its confusing. Its new. Yesterday, Andrew Yang, one of the candidates, and Katherine Garcia, sort of doing a joint endorsement. Andrew yang says pick me as Number One, pick her as number two. She didnt necessarily return the favor. How is that going to throw a wrench into things . Rankchoice voting is very complicated and people who love Rankchoice Ratinge ing hate wh were saying its complicated. So if we had rank choice here, abby would be Number One and then the rest will be one, two, three, four, five. You want to be at least everybodys second choice. You dont want to go too negative in terms of your campaigning because you could alienate all of evas supporters or kaitlans supporters if you go negative and it creates this odd focus on how youre trying to get your votes. Is adams going to be a guy who gets a lot of first votes but not a lot of seconds . Yeah. Thats what theyre hoping for. There are so many takeaways from this. What does it mean for the democratic party and nationally . Also just for New York. This is likely going to be a Woman Or Person of color who wins this race and New York has his historically had white male mayors. Theyve only had one black mayor in the history of all of their mayors. It will be fascinating to see how that changes and what it actually looks like in addition to whatever it spells out. One of the dramas of this weekend was Eric Adams basically saying that Andrew Yang and Katherine Garcia were trying to prevent a person of color from being mayor. And Drew Yang Fighting back saying ive been an asianamerican my whole life. Thank you all for joining us at the table this morning. Thats it for Inside Politics sunday. Join us back here 8 00 a. M.
