David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Opportunity for a politicians challenger. In this case it is a democrat named nate mcmurray. I reached out to him a couple of hours ago and got this statement. He says this. It is absolutely true that Chris Collins should not be running for this or any other seat, a fact that the local Republican Party knew full well when they endorsed and celebrated him while he was under investigation for securities fraud. So the question now is, if this seat, this safe republican seat is now in jeopardy, can the democrat, nate mcmurray, raise enough money, secure enough outside support, and then win over enough rightleaning voters to pick up this seat and unseat any republican challenger, if it is Chris Collins or someone else . We have to see if that will be the case. One thing we know for sure is that democrats know all too well they only have to flip about two dozen seats to take back control of the house, d
birmingham. i know you were lizzing to that along with me, doctor. your reaction, to this i think kind of round four or five, between dr. rand paul, a medical doctor, also a senator, and dr. anthony fauci, and this personal animosity that continues coming from rand paul. your reaction to it? yes, thanks, kate. my reaction is really one of the completely disspirited and i think that you know, the fact that you even have to count the number of rounds and can t remember what round we re all sort of says it all because i think political theater at its worse, at a time where the fact that we re being distracted from the number of people who are hospitalized and the complete, really limited arsenal we have to treat the people that we have, especially outpatients, you know, and when you talk about that, if we have time, so the fact that they re wasting
reporter: they re not entirely convinced it is going to happen. i think the ukrainians are having a renewed sense of confidence. that convoy is stalled, it has been stalled for days now because of logistical problems, because of lack of fuel. so it is now apparently according to u.s. military officials a traffic snarl of military vehicles still about 15 miles from kyiv. so the people in the city are not disspirited. they re not disheartened. they re watching the russian s faltering and watching what are on-and-off peace talks. the ukrainians are not convinced the peace talks will achieve much, but they seem to have achieved something already in that the russians are lowering their demand. if you listen to what vladimir putin has been saying since this conflict began and even before, he talked about total
harwood. okay. ryan, welcome back. john, good evening to you. ryan, since we last spoke, you actually had the breaking news. this was your reporting, no vote tonight. comes after a flurry of meetings, tension building all day. what happened? what s the plan now? yeah. so, don, i really think that what happened here today is that throughout the course of the day, you saw the white house and the congressional leaders in the house and senate, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer attempt to try and bring together the most prominent voices in these disspirited factions of the democratic party and get them all on the same page. late tonight we saw kirsten sinema, joe manchin and bernie sanders coming in and out of senate offices. and we know from our reporting that they were trying to put together a deal that each one of those people would sign off on and say that they support. and we don t really know where
