that again last night. once a generation where labor goes so far left. it was interesting. this wasn t a vote about brexit. people are just sick of it. they wanted it done and i think the tories were effectively championing, just get it. so it was a vote against corbyn. but the outium was mo come was sided than people thought. you still will have a very compensated detail on the brexit between the british government and the eu, not clear how it turns out. and i think the country is still in doubt. scottish national vote is overwhelmingly pro depends. it s possible that you ll not only have brexit, but you ll have the unraveling the united kingdom. but, katty, the pick that s been so frustrating has been the indecision. even looking loving great britain as i do, looking from afar at the indecision where you re just like to do something. make it stay, leave, i don t
democrats made mention of the fact that republicans wanted to go to that planned white house christmas reception that started at 7:00 p.m. and so as a little bit of retribution, republicans offered a bunch of aemmendments and jamd up the process. so when it became clear that this panel was poised to vote on these articles of impeachment at midnight, potentially even 1:00 a.m., nadler tabled it and made the point that this is too important of a thing to have this vote in the dead of night. so he recessed and called a voice vote that will set up this committee vote on the two articles of impeachment at 10:00 a.m. so what do we expect today, jeff? so we expect that this committee will vote these articles of impeachment from the committee to the house floor. it will be a 23-17 split. it would normally be a 24-17
population of white voters, working-class white voters that they think they can persuade when it s a choice election. him versus somebody. they re praying it is bernie sanders or elizabeth warren because they think you could have a repeat of what happened over in britain. they think it s a better matchup. look at all the swing state polls. joe biden does do better, has routinely done better six months running. so they probably continue to fear him the most and probably should fear him the most, at least on the known knowns today. peter bake, he for you look at the wisconsin number that s about how president trump won the state of wisconsin in 2016. he won with 47% of the vote. he won by something like 22,000 votes over hillary clinton, barely squeaking out a victory. the state now is as tight as it was on election day in 2016 really with all of those candidates. and as jim says, it s a reflection of where the focus is of the white house, that the president is already going into place
we take these things that almost never happened and now we re like, oh, just another tool in the weaponry of political warfare. and that s what republicans are saying they would do to biden. so it s just another sort of another bad precedent for politics. let s go around quickly. willie i m curious what you think. do you think republicans or democrats should expand it or does it seem to make more sense for them to keep it tight? i think nancy pelosi thinks she s got what she s got, she s got an air tight case on the question of ukraine and she s worried about dragging it out longer. she has watched the polls that have showed it s basically frozen in this country about impeachment. 50/50, maybe ticking a little under that for democrats on the question of impeachment. i think she thinks the more this drags on, perhaps, the more the country begins to tune out and roll its eyes a little bit at the process. she wants a vote and move on. peter baker, what do you think? what do democr
but, i mean, johnson has a mandate to govern. but it seemed based on everything at least i ve heard, it was more of an anti-corbyn than pro johnson vote. yeah, you re quite right. boris johnson, there are question marks about boris johnson about whether he s trustworthy? does he lie on the trump? do people like him? he s seen as unpredictable and he kept a pretty low profile by boris johnson standards during the course of this election campaign. but they really couldn t stomach jeremy corbyn. and they didn t believe that jeremy corbyn was a viable leader for the labor party. so it was much about the labor party. britain is split 50/50. this was the conservative party s election to lose. if the labor party had had a leader who was more acceptable to more people in the united kingdom, then labor may well have won last night. they would have take then. because boris johnson is unpopular because the brexit issue splits the country 50/50.
