again, i think it says we have our priorities wrong. republicans have had huge successes with cutting taxes, limiting government, creating opportunities in schools, supporting parents, making sure kids those are our wins and america s wins and those are wins from republicans, independent, even some conservative democrats. that is what we have to focus on as a party i was in new hampshire the day you announced you wouldn t run for senate, there covering congresswoman liz cheney who is facing an uncertain political future, intense criticism from her party over her position on january 6th. do you think there is room for liz cheney in the republican party and specifically, you re in new hampshire, in the 2024 primary process? i think there is room for everybody in the republican party whether independent or democrat. we got room for everybody to come on board and i think that is what you ll see over the next year. it can t be about one particular issue. that is kind of the social m
republicans have had huge successes with cutting taxes, limiting government, creating opportunities in schools, supporting parents, making sure kids those are our wins and those are america s wins and wins from not republicans and independents and even some of the conservative democrats and that s what we have to focus on as a party. governor, i was in new hampshire the date that awe you announced you wouldn t run for senate, i was covering congresswoman liz cheney who is facing an uncertain political future and intense criticism from her party over her position on january 6th. do you think there s room for liz cheney in the republican party and specifically, you re in new hampshire, in the 2024 primary process? i think there s room for everybody in the republican party. i really do. whether you re independent or democrat, we ve got room for everybody to come on board and i think that s what you re going to see over the next year. it can t be about one particular issue. that s ki
like to see donald trump run for president in 2024 or not. among republicans, 78% say yes. they would like to see the former president run again. what goes through your mind when you see that? i wish everybody would focus on what is happening right now in this country. because 2024 is a mile away. if we don t start focusing on how distracted we are, the goal should be number 1 are virginia, new jersey s governors races next week. then 22. if we don t win 22, 24 doesn t matter. we have to be focused. we have to be prioritized. the fun thing is to talk about the spinning wheel. we don t have that luxury. we have to stop the bleeding of what biden is doing and then figure that part out. on the spinning wheel of 2024. indulge me. vice president pence has indicated that he wouldn t rule out running if president trump does run. you said you wouldn t run if he ran. does that leave open a door for you to be on a ticket with the former president?
what s happening now, alex, is democrats trying to figure out, okay, if we can t get what we wanted in the way that we wanted it, is there some other way that we can get to essentially the same place? so, if we can t have the clean energy program that was initially envisioned, can we instead take that $150 billion and add it into clean energy tax incentives to get the climate change effects that we would want. if we can t get increase on the tax rates because of opposition from senator sinema, can we instead do a billionaire s tax that would still bring in revenue from the wealthiest in our society but wouldn t run into the same hurdles from those senators who are objecting to it. and congresswoman jayapal, who we heard from just a second ago, the head of the progressive caucus, she says, look, if it takes one more week to get a deal, it s worth it, alex. okay. certainly they re trying to look for all the options to push this through. can i just ask you about something, though, that
that this was, that nikki haley would end up any other place than where she currently is. that is, exhibited, in, there was a period of time people thought maybe she would signal a break from trumpism or be able to take s republican party back to a pre-trump era. that s clear for i think a couple years now that with her announcement she wouldn t run, if trump ran with her, various comments over the past year essentially where she s aligned herself with trump and made the decision as awe republicans have at this point, even though he s off the field, down in mar-a-lago, no power whatsoever. real power, to get anything done. donald trump remains the king of the republican party and everyone must kiss the ring and take a knee in front of donald trump. that s what you see. her prospects, i don t know. but she s in the mainstream of donald trump. that s still the basic line for
