Work-arounds right now, seeing if they could perhaps ignore it or see if they can get better data from somewhere else because they just can t replace it if they want to go on saturday. replacing it would likely require a rollback. thanks. i m pamela brown in the situation room. thanks very much. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront next, biden takes on trump. the president slamming his predecessor and supporters for attacking the fbi. this as we re awaiting new documents from the justice department to drop at any moment. plus, one of the most significant political leaders of the 20th century, mikhail gorbachev, is dead. david gergen is outfront with us. and melania trump s response to the fbi searching mar-a-lago and her new business venture.
Next stages of the pandemic, all of those encouraged voters to view the election primarily as a thumbs up, thumbs down referendum on the party in power. biden and democrats were struggling in that construct. but a series of events, and i would argue that guns are one of them after the uvalde shooting. all of the revelations about the january from the january 6th committee and the search warrant at mar-a-lago, the passage of the climate of the reconciliation bill with big climate provisions and above all the supreme court decision overturning roe has introduced a whole series of other issues into the election, almost like one weather front pushing out another. these are issues that tend to, as kristen was saying, energize the democratic base but also remind some swing voters of why they were so hesitant about the trump stamped republican party in 2018 and 2020. so those republican advantage issues are not gone, but they are now no longer the soul determinant of the election atmosphe
