opportunity to hear testimony about the events leading up to the insurrection, and donald trump s possible role in fomenting and pushing known election lies. known because even his family members and top republican aides were learning were adamant there simply was no there there. now, trump is not on any of these ballots. but the connective tissue is a platform that echoes his sentiments. but as much as the committee has tried to convey that what we saw on january 6th is a continued threat, the question is whether these hearings impact the voters at all. perhaps giving them any pause about electing a trump-backed candidate, assuming of course they even watched these hearings. and even still, the 2020 lies are casting a very big shadow over many of these 2022 races. particularly in south carolina, where the polls have now closed but votes are still being counted. so here s where that revenge part comes in again. you have two incumbent republican members of congress in this dee
hello, everyone, thanks so much for joining me. i m fredricka whitfield in atlanta. in wisconsin a deadly shooting left a former judge dead and sources tell cnn the gunman was planning to target several other high-ranking government officials. former juneau county circuit court judge john roemer was gunned down in his home friday. police say the shooter then shot himself. sources say the gunman was also planning attacks on wisconsin governor tony evers and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. we have details now. what more are investigators sharing. reporter: sources tell cnn the suspect had a list of targets, a long list of targets. officials say this was somehow related to the justice system. was it one case, several cases? that is simply not clear. what i can tell you this began friday morning when someone ran out of judge roemer s home, called 911 and told police someone had broken inside and shot two rounds inside that home. when police tried to negotiate with the s
if people are feeling bad about the direction the country is going in, if they are feeling bad about how much their paycheck can get them, how expensive gas prices are, you can talk to them all day long about the war in ukraine, about supply side shortages, about china. you can talk to them about whatever. the president is going to take the hit for it. the reality is democrats were wrong about inflation. janet yellen acknowledged as much just a few days ago. she said yeah, they insisted it was going to be transitory. it probably wasn t going to be that big of a deal and that was incorrect. i think voters saw that happen. they know who s running the government, and they re going to take it out on the people in charge. it doesn t really matter who else might be the blame. that s the main strategy going into a midterm is to say the other guy would be a lot worse, but it s not that effective. there s also a time when sometimes if you re a flip-flopper or not acknowledging you got somet
