Eu Ambassador Gordon Sondland changing his story now, backing up the testimony of several other key witnesses regarding aid to ukraine and the commitment to investigate the 2016 election and the bidens. But why was he allowed to change his testimony . Were going to dig into that in just a moment. Lets go right to the implications of tuesdays elections. For that i want to bring in msnbc National Political correspondent Steve Kornacki. Hes at the big board. Nbc news road war i dont Vaughn Hillyard joins us from louisville, kentucky.

democrat labor, coal mines, apalacha, they will vote democrat in a normal election. they didn t vote for matt bevin in big numbers. they vote for trump. that s a big lesson for democrats to figure out how to be more like beshear and how to beat trump. you ve got to get those obama voters who voted for trump back in your camp. they voted in a 2018 election overwhelmingly for democrats. they voted again in 2019 for democrats. up to two-thirds of them say they re still going to vote for trump. that means trump lost a third of them. that s very significant. that s another group that can be gotten. tiffany, let s dig into one of the groups rick just mentioned. an soelted press analysis out now points to the suburban revolt against the president and his party. according to the a.p., it is growing. quote, it s difficult to draw sweeping conclusions from state
