brown jackson as the courts new term begins tomorrow. i am jonathan capehart, this is the sunday show. this sunday, residents and relief workers are on rescue missions, coping through the rubble as floridians grapple through the trauma and devastation left by hurricane ian. water came up to about here. when it got to there, the way they were saying on the news i thought it would eventually go over our heads. i called my daughters and i said goodbye. it was very traumatic. i went into the water and save three people. i lost one friend, i couldn t savor. she got washed away. the devastation is unbelievable. i was a paramedic fireman for 25 years. it is just unbelievable. nbc news has confirmed at least 77 deaths have been caused by ian and florida and north carolina. more than 800,000 floridians and tens of thousands in the carolinas remain without power. creating a new facet of this emergency. some hospitals in the area now scrambling to evacuate critically ill patient
declaration in north carolina. this is as the state is bracing for up to six inches of rainfall. we are going to talk about it with the democratic candidate for senate in north carolina, jerry beasley. and we are talking about the state of the race, less than 40 days until midterm elections. i am simone sanders townsend, and i have something to say. unprecedented, biblical, just a few words to describe the impact of hurricane ian. now taking its place as one of the worst natural disasters in our country s history. in just a few minutes, we are expecting an update from florida governor ron desantis, which we will bring you live. this week, hurricane ian slammed into florida s west coast, just shy of a category four hurricane. with winds of 155 miles per hour. ripping through south florida. then, coming back to slim south carolina and now, north carolina. we are hearing from residents who survived. we shouldn t be alive right now. we shouldn t be alive right now with that sto

decided to postpone tomorrow s proceedings. we re praying for all those in the path. we start tonight with a major political battle taking place across the country. as of today, we are just six weeks out from this year s midterms. despite economical and historical trends that should favor republicans, this election is shaping up to be closer than anyone expected, thanks in part to republican extremism to states across the country. from roe v. wade to state abortion bans to election denial to political stunts to silence asylum seekers, the republicans are executing on april radical agenda. red state governors like texas greg abbott and florida s ron desantis. men pushing the extremism while they raise their own political profiles and jockey to raise trump s mantles as leaders for presidential hopefuls. on the other side of that fight are a handful of democratic governors, the people leading the charge against ready cal republican policies. chief among them is california gov
