the white house. joe, what will we hear from the president tomorrow in this big labor day appearance? he s really kicking off the start to the mid-term cycle. reporter: you know one thing that is very clear and that is the president, jim, is definitely interested in getting out there and showing his stuff, as it were. he s going not only to wisconsin. he s also going to pittsburgh. and later in the week he s going to columbus, ohio. that, of course, is going to be essentially a groundbreaking for a microprocessor plant that he s been promoting. labor day, around labor day, is the time of year where campaigns really start bearing down. it s also a time, very important to say people start looking more closely at the candidates. of course joe biden s name is not on any ballots. just the fact he s getting out to the three major battleground states does tell you that the biden people are thinking carefully about the president and his posture. you know it was just a few weeks ago
Away with the senate. i suspect they will still walk away with the house. the senate and the caliber of the candidates that republicans have nominated in order to compete in these contests have been substandard in states like pennsylvania. you have a lot of swing voters, a lot of people who are predisposed to be the prototypical trump supporter, white, working class, a bit economically alienated that frankly the democratic nominee speaks to as well. there s a real contest in pennsylvania and nevada ohio. it is not a given the republicans are going to be worried. are we not paying enough attention to roe vs. wade being overturned as a pivotal issue in so many of these maybe not all of these races but so many of these races? i m going to cut john off because i will tell you, jim, when this happened, when roe v. wade was overturned, i talked to
Released a statement that says this. trump s announcement today is a death sentence for thousands of women in the united states. last night, some cable news critics immediately claimed the appointment of kavanaugh is really about the russia investigation. watch. speak of this man has spent a lot of his life pushing the position, brett kavanaugh, that presidents should not be bothered with litigation. that they should not be subject to litigation. and that is an awfully coincidental position for him to hold given what president trump could be heading into politically. it s as though he s writing the script for a president being above the law. this seems to be of all the people the most self-serving person he could choose in order to protect himself from this criminal investigation. harris: i want to get to the meat of where we really are with the roe vs. wade in anything potentially that can come down. we have had andrew mccarthy on yesterday, said there s all
Question will get to the supreme court. do these restrictions significantly impede the opportunity of a woman to have an abortion? the supreme court might have said that kennedy supreme court no, the brett kavanaugh supreme court might say no. so they will permit more state interferences. if marie: i don t want roe vs. wade to be repealed in its entirety either but i think the more concerning judicial question might be whether there s just so many restrictions and state levels that are now upheld by the supreme court unlike the casey decision where abortion effectively and 25 or 30 sites across the country becomes so restricted that it is illegal. harris: is is a smart issue for democrats to make it only about that? you ve got obamacare coming, other things. marie: they should broaden that out to be about women s health at large. pro-choice is not pro-abortion
