clyburn. it s an honor, always to have you here. thank you so much for your perspective this morning. pretty significant. thank you very much for having me. it is and look. one of the issues here is that to some extent donald trump broke the way that people talk about the electoral process here and what he tried to basically the question existence of truth period. anin legitimacy of elections. so president biden is being compared to something that it s almost impossible to compare to when he s asked will the elections be legitimate? you want your president to say the elections is legitimate. he nsomehow is trying to threada needle and suggest without these voting rights laws and also with the likely election of people who are running on lies about elections, that he doesn t know, he doesn t know. will they warp the election process. but the language that s being
it almost seems crickontradicto that he s calling for unity, and going full throttle on the attack side against donald trump. in some ways he s channeling the theory that s out there, and finding the passion that s in the base? he s thread a needle and the needle is this. it s around that childish behavior idea. it s around the idea that there are republicans, independents, democrats who may like trump on the economy, who may like the tougher stands on china, but they are sick and tired of the endless tweeting and name calling, you know, frankly dog whistling, racist behavior that can come out of this white house and this president. they are tired of that. the impact is interesting that we have showed. biden is up 11 points on trump in pennsylvania, but a majority of the voters in that poll said that they thought that the economy was excellent or good. the majority of those voters those are the kind of numbers that usually benefit an incumbent president like
president hasn t changed his position. if anything the president questions, it s the media s reporting on that accuracy. as for when the tape originally surfaced, trump did not deny it was authentic. i ve said and done things i regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. anyone who knows me knows these words don t reflect who i am. i said it, i was wrong and i apologize. joined by former democratic senator from california, barbara boxer, pac for change, focused on defeating republicans in next midterms. good to see you, appreciate the time. thanks ari. look at where this is with donald trump, seems to be trying to do something that republicans in washington have refused to do, thread a needle, making air quotes if you can t see me,
