Rnc chairwoman since the late 1870s or something crazy. it shows a huge vote of confidence in someone who is really trying to navigate the republican party through this post-trump world which will become his world again, of course, as the 2024 primary field shapes up. the challenge she ll su, as you know, staying neutral, as neutral as they can if and when more republicans jump into the primary field rather than just support donald trump. doesn t have every vote locked up but enough to be re-electedthat is in spite of her leading this party and this party arm when they suffered major losses, not just this cycle but in 2020 and 2018. someone who may not have the votes needed for the post that he wants is kevin mccarthy. the number one gain in washington here in washington right now you well know whether or not he could get the votes needed to secure speakership. a growing sense he may be a little short.
What about the white house? joining me from the north lawn, marc short, the chief of staff to vice president mike pence. thank you for being with us. thanks, hallie. can you talk about the conversations that the white house has had with senator mcconnell over the last the las? are you comfortable with the remarks the leader made on the floor? i assume the president wouldn t have bought in, but i want to hear it from you. i think we ve been comfortable with witnesses, but at the same time democrats failed to make the case. i heard your comments from senator derbin. so far all the witnesses the democrats brought forward are those speaking about here say or secondhand testimony, not firsthand testimony. they haven t made a case. the american people are tired of this. we re also perfectly fine with the perfunctory trial because we can get back to business that benefits the american people as democrats promised they d do in 2018. someone who would have firsthand knowledge of this wo
Tough on trump is not just about trading tweets with him on twitter but showing that she can win in republican won districts and districts that he won in 2018. someone like julian castro could benefit from telling his story to 20 million plus viewers. he could talk about how he s a young progressive leader who has experience in the obama administration in a way that might gain traction on a debate stage that hasn t necessarily on the campaign trail. let s talk former vice president joe biden here. he has been holding a very strong lead in the polls up until now. axios has found another area that he s dominating in right about now. what is that? we got some new data from this company called news whip and it s showing that joe biden is dominating the 2020 democratic field in terms of online attention. any article that s written about joe biden gets far more interaction, like 43 and a half million interactions he has garnered in the last ten weeks compared to every other democratic ca
Papers that this senior administration anonymous official went to the new york times, the president s hometown paper, the paper that he hate reads there wouldn t be that many choices of a paper that you would go to. i could argue that the washington post is a fabulous paper. trump has a specific relationship with the times. he loves to hate it but he also cares about it more than any other outlet that is out there. it is sort of a perfect trolling of him in a certain way. don t you think unlike what we were talking about and how he initially denied it and it took decades. it is 2018. someone is going to figure this out if the person doesn t come out before. i had someone ask me what happens if this cabinet official comes out and denies being the source but is the source? will the times out the person? i don t think so.
Cities and towns and other various projects that government likes to get into. so if they dedicated doesn t matter what they do. i like the usage tax because it s very direct. but if they said look, this is the old al gore lock box that can only go to fix the state highways and bridges, you may have a solution that is fair. trish: brie? final word. a completely flawed analysis here. this is the state deciding to track one s mileage and behavior. it s not the government s business to know how far or how often i decide to drive my vehicle. it s ridiculous that they try to track that and device a system. this is social engineering and i think it s wrong. trish: thank you very much. good to see you both. always appreciate a spirited debate, especially on california highways. trump s twitter in 2018. someone here says his new year s
