and numbers, my friends, don t lie. from ohio to virginia, to kentucky, victory laps today for democrats. abortion access is the law of the land in ohio. the voters said, look, the government should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. we ve become a party of losers. i m sick of republicans losing. do you think we did the right thing by not participating? anybody who is going to be spending the next year and a half of their life focusing on keeping themselves out of jails and courtrooms cannot be lead this party or this country. i ll not be running for reelection for the united states senate, but what i will be doing is traveling the country. maybe, you know, flirting with some kind of presidential run. which, again, it s another blow democrats from manchin. good evening once again i m stephanie ruhle, it is the end of the week and our friday night cap is officially back. i know you ve been waiting for it. this is our breakdown of the biggest
it s not just me for things. we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022, norad way that never came. we got trounced last night in 2023. no lie there, of course, true to form, that republican running against trump did not blame him for the losses. no republican on that debate stage on wednesday dared to really take on the albatross named donald trump, not in front of an audience of republican voters. so that is hopeless. good people who like things like respecting election results and rule of law and not attempting coups, now had to assume that republicans cannot or more likely will not step out the threat of trumpism in their party [interpreter] . a red wave never materialized for republicans, which is good news for democracy in the 2022 midterms and republicans really did get trounced this week, which is even more good news for democracy. the leader of the republican party has recently been posting memes of the u.s. capital on fire with the words, i am coming back to clean up the mes
2020, who voted for joe biden, they are going to see that donald trump looks more acceptable as a candidate than he did in 2020. he just got indictmented for the fourth time. i changed my mind. totally agree, but the other alternative is i m just going to stay home. but i want to go back to the expression of this mug shot. i think it s really important in the only that trump himself likes to always appear tough and as a fighter, but that s what the fwrks op want thes. and maybe this mug shot isn t a spring board to the white house, but at this moment in the primary, it s a springboard for him to stay at the head of the pack. this is a primary electorate that wants a fighter, who is combattive, and it speaks to, i think, the sense of where the primary electorate is among trump s team that they really want to push this out more. it s so menacing, that
he won t share it. he will at some point. you and i both interviewed him recently. when pressed on specifics he is not always happy about that. no he is not. that was clear in several of the exchanges he had here today. a lot of the press that was here was spanish speaking press. they were pretty open about being combattive with him. there was, there is no question about that. but you know the other issue in his defense is as you heard at the beginning of that sound bite there, he did come down here at the invitation of the local border patrol union who pulled out basically when he was in the air coming down here. i was talking to local police officers here. they had to basically pick up the slack and figure out, scramble to figure out how to deal with his visit. and they said look you know we kind of made good with what we could do here. because these are obviously largely hispanic voters here hispanic officials, they said we feel like he is somebody who
forgiveness. but for deaf south african telling me that i was doing wrong interpretation, then they should answer me why there was all these years. all these years. people have complained before when you interpreted for president zuma before. listen, listen. i ve never, ever, ever in my life have anything that said of interpreted to. you can go through all the medias of south africa. interpreted all the videos for south africa. if you can see my portfolio, i ve been in papers for a very long time. no single one said i m interpreting the wrong interpretation. at times, he was combattive. at times, nervous. he said initially to me he said he s received threats from the government and then pulled back
