last year shows that broad support for paid leave across a wide variety of demographics in this country. now, with mid terms approaching, have biden and the democrats done enough to say that they deserve to remain in power? look, there s still time to get the president s agenda passed and it looks like that may very welcome in the days ahead but it can t be ignored how excruciatingly difficult this process has been. democrats, if you want a coalition of black voters, suburban women, independent and swing voters to keep you in power, it might be time to give them some bold reasons to. lots to discuss and i ve got a great panel to do it with. joining me is amanda turkle, the washington bureau chief and josh gondleman is a median and writer
donald trump supports the candidate, that they get that message but make sure that no one else hears that message because that can cost you a lot with swing voters, independent and moderate republicans and democrats. is that why they re using racist dog whistles so they can make sure those people are the ones that hear them, the base hears them and turns out? it s kind of like being a third base coach, ayman. you re putting out a bunch of signals and certain people understand them and others don t. it s unfortunate. that s not ideal. it s not good for the country but that s the republican party of today. it s definitely one way of saying it. amanda, what s perhaps more concerning, comments he s made about what will happen if terry mcauliffe wins this race? let me read for you what trump said to a radio show. you know how they cheat in elections, the virginia governor s election, you better watch it. you have a close race in

a couple months and then were open the rest of the time. there s a lot of cultural signaling here but some of the issues are substantive and i would tell you that specifically opening up schools of a big deal in this country and that should be not be diminished. quick fire, who do you think wins, carlos, amanda and josh? who do you think wins virginia? carlos. i think republicans end up winning a very close race in virginia. amanda. i think mcauliffe will probably squeak through. josh? i mean, if the volume of e-mail sent to me each day is any indication, mcauliffe will win in a landslide. thank you so much for your time. amanda and josh, stick around. we got a lot more to talk to you after this break. coming up, when the going gets tough, just change your name. i ll share my thoughts on the facebook rebrand next. i ll share my thoughts on the facebook rebrand next. with pronamel repair toothpaste,
