2017, former president obama, you might have forgotten this. the new york post remembered. they shipped 30 million pages of sensitive and possibly classified materials to chicago. all right. and now trump and his advisers have yet a new excuse for why trump kept classified documents. plus, arizona used to give us republicans like john mccain. well, now the fringe is firmly in control of the party there with election deniers and extremists rising to the top. also tonight, an important victory in sali berisha for reproductive rights, but across the country more young girls are being forced to give birth. and fresh off her defeat in the wyoming primary, liz cheney is blasting kevin mccarthy and had some thoughts on the possibility that he could potentially be the next speaker. good evening, everyone. i m tiffany cross in tonight for joy reid and we begin with the ever-evolving excuses from donald trump and his team over why classified documents, including some classi
is leading incumbent marco rubio by four. another trump acolyte and there s currently no black women in the senate. the hits just keep on coming for the republicans in the year they thought would benefit them. politico declared the senate a tossup and moved the race between john fetterman and mehmet oz leaning democratic and in pennsylvania, the outlook is so bad according to rolling stone even the former president thinks that dr. oz will f ing lose. we might f ing lose this if that doesn t happen. joining me is tank, woodbury a democratic pollster and the host of the dean obeidallah show and rp my longtime pal. happy to see you. let s start out, there s really interesting races that i want to start with, terrance. i do want to start with wisconsin and mandela barnes and ron johnson.
retention of political party by threats of violence or violence. there s a cbs poll recently nearly 60% of republicans, nearly 60, don t view january 6th at terrorism. they view it as an act defending freedom. you ve got donald trump the leading of the republican party imposing their religious beliefs to oppress women. the taliban should sue them for trademark infringement and you ve got the banning of books and the list goes on and on. democrats, talk about your accomplishments, they are real but amplify the gop extremism. it s very real and right in our face. it s frightening. dean makes a good point there, terrance. when you think about the idea and the consthaept kevin mccarthy who have completely lost his spine, completely given in to trump, despite their little exchange around january 6th where he actually said to him allegedly, reportedly, who the eff do you think you re talking about and trump told him maybe people care more about the election than you do. all that went out t
