if anything, it gives maybe a little more motivation to come up with some way to address voting rights. so the democratic base isn t frustrated. the republicans pass all lies predicated on the big lie. to make it harder to vote. and the democrats who own the power haven t done anything. and haven t come up with a federal response. the pressure will fall on democrats the white house and democratic majority. slim majority. in congress. over the next few months. to try to come up with some legislative response. to what republicans have done around voting laws. do you agree. i do think that the focus on voting rights is going to be critical. i think this is an opportunity for democrats to really label republicans as the antidemocratic and democracy party. as an unpatriotic party. keep in mind they have obstructed any investigation into what happened every step oeft way. they refuse to hold trump
and that s obviously driven in part by the political calendar. i think when you look at it in terms of the politics. this is tough. this is not necessarily a huge issue that you re seeing democrats running on. it s become january 6 the insurrection trump big lie, all of that is more central to the politics on the republican side. rather than running away from it, this is now who they are. they are defending it. this is the new lost cause. and when so many of the voters live in this sealed chamber. they are just totally to facts and evidence. republican candidates run as far to the right. putting their arms around the former president. as tightly as they can. and you re not seeing on the left. you re not seeing democrats out there they re going to talk about it. but you get the sense that is not going to be the issue. saving democracy. is not going to be the issue that gets voters to the polls.
