Digits roast the deep south. Well tell you whats next from this wild weather coming up. And a new poll shows that half of all democratic voters dont want President Biden to be the nominee for 2024. Well explain why thats actually good news for the president. But we start in washington, d. C. , where a new chapter in american political history is waiting to be written if and when special Council Jack Smith decides to make his move. We know the grand jury investigating former President Trumps role in trying to overturn the 2020 election arrived at the d. C. Courthouse several hours ago. And if past is prologue, a decision on an indictment could come soon. In the classified documents investigation, trump was charged three days after his attorneys held a final meeting with jack smith. That same kind of meeting in this case was five days ago if that provides us any clues. We want to bring in nbcs Garrett Haake following this from washington. Ryan reilly is outside the u. S. District courtho
in the 2020 election, i was just stunned to learn some of these statistics. here president biden won 72% of the asian american vote. trump won just 28%. it was a crushing defeat. the turnout jumped, as you pointed, out from 49% in 20 in 2020. it was the largest jump of any racial or ethnic group when it comes to voter turnout. in battleground states, this is where the rubber meets the road. more than 350,000 was the jump of aapi voters. in an election where president trump, former president trump lost by 45,000 votes in key swing states. aapi voters made up the difference. think about that for a minute. without the asian american vote in 2020, donald trump is very likely still be president. just based on that, alone i think both parties have taken note about this community s ability to be a powerful force in crucial swing states. like georgia, like nevada, 10%
so, yeah, it is a national poll. i don t put a lot of stock in national polls, a year and a half out from a general election. but it is indicative, i think, in a lot of ways of an undercurrent that the media and the political class refuse to really wrap their heads around. and stop being shocked by the numbers when they see them. the true hard core trump supporter is not going to tell you i m with trump. but they will on election day. and that should be the thing that drives democratic voters and the democratic party at this point to shore up their ground game going into next year. remember, trump lost by 78,000 votes over three states at the end of the day. that was the electoral college vote count. so, the reality for him, both of those gentlemen, is there is an opportunity to win that poll
believe it. look at the totals. it is certainly plausible. there s nothing obviously there s nothing obviously skewed about the results. collectively republicans got 1.661 million votes. 51,000 more votes than trump got. trump lost by 20,000. trump got all of the republicans, voted for trump the way they he voted for assembly candidates, he would have won. he didn t get 51,000 votes that other republicans got. that s why he lost. luke, i always thought this was going to be where the rubber met the road. there s nothing wrong with the election, i m here, i m here, i won, they liked me. i always thought this moment would come when they would defend the integrity of the 2020 election on their line of the ballot, and there it was from none other than ron johnson. right. it is kind of a hard argument to make that we picked up seats in the house of representatives on the same fraudulent ballots that were supposedly shipped in from china or somewhere and gave the
