Yes, you mentioned polls are extremely close, well within the margin of error. millions of dollars spent on this race. and the issues when you listen to the candidates centered on crime, housing, infrastructure in this area. but there s a race that s also being watched beyond jacksonville because it s a signal for democrats and their ability to perform in this state. jacksonville, duval county where they ve been seeing success up until desantis s re-election in 2022. in 2018, gillam flipped it. then came governor desantis when he won re-election by a double digit margin. was that a one off or part of a new trend in this area? i want you to listen to how both party chairs broke it down to me just yesterday. duval county is a battleground. it s an epic battleground. in a microcosm epitomizes the great struggle between the right
Back home. what we have seen, even though there s a reluctance from mccarthy and other members of congress to fully ex-communicate santos back home on long island, local republican leaders, county party chairs, et cetera, have all called on him to resign, and really want nothing to do with him. which brings me to you. what are you hearing from the district from santos constituents? a woman walked up to us, chris, a moment before we went on the air, and simply to say it s so embarrassing, and that s what we were hearing from many people in this area. talking about national versus local politics. trump, i should say, joe biden won this district in 2020 when he ran for election, and desantos won this district when he campaigned here back last year by about 8 points. could that happen again? listen to what people told me,

We have some new reporting into cnn about how president biden is seen by his own party and some lack of passion for re-election campaign by him. this matches brand-new cnn polling underscoring little enthusiasm for voters for a rematch between president biden and his former possible rival donald trump. isaac, this is something that president biden has run into before. he s overcome it. then he beat a sitting president. what are you finding? i spent part of last week in philadelphia. these are the state party chairs, the most involved democrats, and they are so satisfied, i guess is the word to use for it, they feel so good about what biden has done, they are happy with the results of the midterms, but they don t feel this overwhelming love and passion for joe biden. now, he would point out probably if the president were sitting
People out, and obama is coming on a thursday while early voting is happening, and this upcoming saturday there s no early voting. the clock is ticking on what the impact can be. i have a special on peacock about this starting tonight on demand, and we are deep diving into georgia and talk to the chair of the democratic party as well as the party chairs in places like dekalb county, and cobb county, and what they are saying on the ground and how they will turn people out. and you have covered the arizona returns, and one county failed to turn it in and the secretary of state office is now suing that county saying it disenfranchises voters. explain what is happening now
