In georgia have criticized the former president. but nothing coing from the national party. i think absent that, it is really difficult to see how one undoes the chains that donald trump seems to have around the republican electorate. yeah, david, let s talk about that specifically, donald was talking about georgia republican governor brian kemp did respond to trump s announcement that he will unveil a report on allegations the election was stolen in georgia. kemp tweeted and there you see it that the election was not stolen and that, quote, our elections in georgia are secure, accessible and fair. he s a trump critic who got easily re-elected in that state. is there something there that could have a message for outside of the state or no? well, i think what is different there is brian kemp has actually been consistent every step of the way and
Saying, no, the election wasn t stolen. he s politely calling out this 70-year-old man who is running around the nation saying i actually won the election in 2020, despite the fact that he wasn t. there are questions of delusion when it comes to donald trump on this matter. brian kemp is calling him out. when it comes to the others, one of the reasons that donna is right, the premise of your question is right, the indictments embolden donald trump is because all of the other republican leaders say brian kemp and a few others have spent two years saying this is a witch-hunt and i hope he doesn t get indicted, even mike pence who says donald trump did wrong says but i hope for the nation he doesn t get indicted. so for two years, all other leading republicans have actually been carrying the water for donald trump. they can t just flip on a dime and say, well, now i change my mind, i think he shouldn t run for president because he committed these alleged crimes. so, david, do you see th

Arrangement fell apart a little more than a month ago. in addition to the back and forth between the now special counsel and hunter biden s legal team, he s also facing a great deal of scrutiny from congressional investigators, particularly house republican investigators in both the judiciary and the oversight committee. the oversight committee in particular continues to release transcribed interviews from biden business associates and also from the investigators that were involved in the look into his finances and his business dealings. and now house democrats are responding to some of the information that house republicans have put out. and they are raising two important points. they say, first of all, the timing of this release from republicans strangely seems to be associated directly with the legal trouble that the former president donald trump is facing. they released the devin archer, the biden business associate transcript around the same day that donald trump was indicted by t
