trump onsie and just have it on hand rapid response every time ron desantis says something to differentiate himself from donald trump. yes, they ve been playing that a lot, but i say gif. the differences go on. thank you,nc my friend. and thanks to you at home for joining us this evening. it was november 12, 2020, and there was a lot going on at the time. it had been less than a week since the networks called the 2020 presidential election for joesi biden. donald trump was just beginning his campaign to deny that result and try and overturn it. just a few days prior trump s lawyer, rudy giuliani, gave his infamous four seasons landscaping press conference to contest thela election results. we all remember that. trump had decided to deny president-elect biden to the classified presidential daily briefing as was the custom in presidential transitions, which in t retrospect seems a bit ironic. just one day later senator lindsey graham would make a phone callou to brad raffen
federal or otherwise. she d worked asfe a assistant u. attorney for four years, but only four ofor the cases she worked on during that time went all the way to a jury verdict and she d been the lead prosecutor on just two of those cases, both of them about firearms. thehe rest of ms. canon s résué was similarly sparse. as the new york times said today a questionnaire asked, of those 17 pieces were those she had written in the t summer of 2002 as a college intern at the miami herald sister publication. typically when judicial candidates are asked for works they cite law reviews. for example, the senate today confirmed biden nominee dale ho to the southern district of new york.he his questionnaire included published writing like voting rights litigation after shelby

in fact he was the 218 seat that we called that officially gave republicans control of the house. so, again, it s a really interesting dynamic where if you re looking at 2020 and you re showing some of his rhetoric right now, biden-trump rhetoric right now, you re saying that s a guy who should be in trouble but also a guy who in 2022 as his party was not having a great year in the mid-terms actually improved his performance basically by double digits. this is all very confounding, and at one point there s a story these sort of congressional races tell us about the larger concerns in the republican party as it pertains to trump and his indictment and how the candidates are dealing with it, which is a very incoherent, unarticulated strategy thus far. right, you have chris christie who has the clearest line of attack against trump. but in terms how mike pence and to some degree ron desantis are handling it, mike pence is kind of both hands and ron desantis i
