Morning. So thats the latest here. The nypd bomb squad is inside our offices at Columbus Circle. The package was addressed to 10 Columbus Circle. We dont know who specifically it was addressed to. It did arrive. It was received in the mail room of the building. The staff there alerted authorities, alerted Building Security to the device, and thats when the nypd responded. Obviously they became really concerned almost immediately. Shimon, just very briefly, what do we know about the package that was delivered to the Time Warner Center . Why was it suspicious . What raised the alarm bells . Right, wolf. So what raised the alarm bell is when they xrayed the package, they found what looked like metal material, perhaps a pipe bomb. Weve talked about other pipe bombs or other bombs inside Metal Construction that have
been delivered to other locations. That immediately had everyone concerned. Then also were being told that there were wires, what appeared to be wires inside this package. That
okay, rachel, so now you have heard congresswoman wasserman schultz give an answer i knew she would give because, you know, that s what she s supposed to do. yes, things are going great. thank you, jonathan. so, rachel, you just heard the congresswoman, it s true. from your vantage point as an election forecaster, what say you? it s true that the democrats face the midterm cycle. it s only been obstructed twice in four years. it is combined with that gerrymander iing that coming and we know it s coming. so as the congresswoman noted, there are some positive signs for democrats. there s more enthusiasm, which is a terrible warning on the right, but it s not like the democrats are unable to attract some top candidates to these races. as she said, in a redistricting cycle that s not nothing, right?
even without the republican s assault on voting rights, democrats would still face an uphill battle in the 2022 midterm election. the new president s party has lost seats in the house in all but two midterm elections since the civil war. add to that redistricting, which favors the gop before a single vote is cast, and it s clear that the democrats razor thin majority is in jeopardy. joining me now, congresswoman debbi wasserman schultz, dccc cochair and former chair of the democratic national committee. and co-founder of strike pac. thank you very much both for coming to the sunday show. congresswoman, i will start with you. you are charged with the team with not only holding the seats in the majority the democrats have in the house, but recruiting people to help increase those seats. how is that going? well, it s going extremely
the florida office of democratic congresswoman debbi wasserman schultz has also been evacuated. former head of the democratic committee, another sharp critic of the president. the area around her office in florida, we are told, has been evacuated. the bomb squad down there has been sent to the site. another very suspicious development. so there s a whole series. once again, the secret service is saying there were only two packages intercepted by the secret service, not one, as earlier reported, to the white house. it looks like the white house was cleared in all of this. kate, you re there on the scene for us. tell us what you re seeing. right now we ve been tushpus back even further. we re on 58th going from 9th to 10th avenue. when i asked why, officers said they need a bigger frozen zone.
