they're voting democratic. they're not quite identifying with the democratic party. they certainly don't like the republican party, that's for sure. but this is the most progressive generation in the history of the country. >> the part that concerns me the most about it -- right? -- is, when you ask millennials whether they believe it's essential to live in a democracy, something like 30% of them will agree with that statement. does that trouble you? >> well, look, i'm all -- i'm for democracy, straight up. but, you know, it's one of the reasons why i'm concerned about trump. he's increasingly moving us in a more authoritarian direction, trying to divide the country up, like, pick at the sort of internal fractures in our culture and our society. so i think that's very dangerous. look, i think if you look at young people, young people, you know, issues of racism, sexism, and homophobia and other things, much less among the millennial generation, much more comfortable with people who are different than they are. i think that's a very positive thing and, i think, bodes

the democratic party is likely to retake the house. democrats ought to be cheerful and confident. instead they look like this. >> you're supporting nazis. do you understand that? yeah, i [bleep] am. >> don't pour your coffee on me. >> [bleep] you, i will. [bleep] you. do you understand that fascism is here? do y'all understand that nazis are here? i hope y'all realize that you're normalizing and enabling nazis. do you really care? do you? >> yeah. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> tucker: the video you just saw was shot at florida state university, but it could have been at any college campus. f'ing nazis. if the left had a slogan right now, that would be it. it's a scream of rage. it's not aimed at actual nazis either. the group progressives are yelling at, the real enemy, is america's middle class, which they consider disgusting and immoral. >> you have racism and sexism driving this president's base. >> i think there's a bigger racist part of this country. we're seeing it. we're living it. >> he does have to take some responsibility for the type of racist bioclimate that we fi

party under the bus, it's also democrats. listen to an ad from democrat claire mccaskill. >> clair is not afraid to stand up against her own party and she is not one of those crazy democrats, she works right in the middle and find compromise. speak it right, so claire mccaskill has been running this ad is saying she's not onet it turns out, tucker, that she actually voted with two of those crazy democrats, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders 60% of the time. she's not the only one doing this. joe donnelly in indiana is also saying he's not one of those socialist democrats, one of those radical democrats that want government run health care or want to abolish i.c.e. you've also got jon tester in montana who says the democratic party botched the kavanaugh supreme court confirmation, which is something we all know but apparently he just snapped the party on that. it's interesting to see with the democrats. there is another interesting story about joe donnelly. remember last night when we talked about north dakota and how the dem

movements began to take over the democratic party. to some extent, they felt pushed away from the democratic party. i go back to ronald reagan's old statement -- i didn't leave the democratic party. it left me. many of them did not feel comfortable in the democratic party anymore. one of the gray statistics i have been able to find in one little history book out of indiana, that a large number of people who voted for robert kennedy in the primary voted for george wallace in the november election. in effect, what happened was these folks felt pushed from the democratic party, and i think finally, donald trump pulled them in completely. he made them identify as republicans. he said you are not on the margins. you are the identity of the republican party, and that's how i'm going to frame my candidacy and the republican party from here on in. i think we have now seen the complete conversion of those sort of former reagan democrats and hardhats and folks from the 1960's. they are the republican party right now. they are the traditionalist

the democratic party and abortion and practicing catholics? elizabeth: on the democratic party and abortion, that is a question you are certainly not alone in asking. there's a small number of candidates who were more careful about that line and more willing to make that public declaration, even though it goes completely against the party, despite the fact that nancy pelosi has said the party needs to be more welcoming to pro-life voters. structurally that has been very difficult to carry out. i think it has been complicated for democrats, this cycle especially, because of the year of the woman and that has mostly been the year of the democratic woman. the way that abortion rights is tied to the women's rights movement and how things have played out with kavanaugh -- it is a very complicated web. i can tell you on the ground when i talk to voters, they say goodness, if there was only a democratic candidate who was much more vocally opposed to abortion, i would be there. you would have my support and i would bring these people with me. it seems

. - you could see the mcgovern campaign as the binning of a shift the democratic party. it becomes a more socially liberal party. it becomes less and less the old party of harhats, the party of the neweal, and gary hart tries to accelerate that shift. - so how in the world did you go from campaign manager of a losing campaign to 24 months later, you're the young senator from colorado, previously a republican seat. it wassy. i had to survive a six-person democratic primary to even become the candidate. - what are your intentions regarding dominick's seat? what might the issues be? - the overriding concern in the country of returning honesty to government and somehow sending representatives to washington and to our state capitols who will clean up politics. - i defeated a wealthy two-term incumbent republican senator almost 60-40. watergs breaking, that helped, and we certainly focused a lot on that. - people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. well, i'm not a crook. - gary hart in the senate was a leader of the progressive communi. when i say progr

the democratic party in the south. - well, you rtow, at the time, we s late. we didn't have the resources, we didn't have the organizational skills, but you know we had? we had what money could never y in a campaign. we have passion. - when i win, peace wins. when i win, ean environment wins. when i win, college youth win. when i wins, justice wins. surely you know we can win! [applause] [upbeat music] - he brought in not only african-americans, but latinos and arabs and jews, and he reached out to the farmers, who were being treated very badly. their properties and their farms were being taken away from them, and jesse went out there and he stood up for them. - we went to columbia, missouri, and it's maybe a two hour ride in the car, and looked out and saw about 2,000 whites, and they're with mask on. te. [laughs] "white farmers with sacks over their heads? ? "is this the k i'm a little hesitant to go in," you know. - they were afraid if the farm agricultural extension services saw them there, they could lose their subsidy. so they were there looking like kla

it was a very party, democrat. i like it very much. but now i see the problem with democrats, it is going to much to the left. i think they do it because they think it is the only way they can win. what a terrible mistake. they could be winning elections without going far to the left. if anybody who knows about nobody canstory, who wantsw communists this great country in the world to become communist. also, at registration time, if they were found in florida, the lots by illegal people who were illegal, that means whoever registered those people were committing the fraud. that anybody who registered, no matter what, they say within florida, new york, california, wherever, they should be going where they are checking that these people who registered in florida cannot register in new york at the same time. votelso, there has to be a to register to. prove citizenship as well as to vote to proves to they are who they are asking to be. from let's go to shelton: freeport, louisiana. good morning. caller: good morning. i just wanted to raise

a record number of minorities to run mostly for the democratic party well joining us now from kansas city in missouri is state representative barbara in washington she got into politics last year and is on the ballot again on tuesday barbara welcome to the program so a record number of women and also minorities are running in the midterms but let me ask you briefly why did you decide to run what motivated you. i wanted to run because i felt like as an african-american woman who's college educated activist speak for the total community african-american women have always been the backbone of the democratic party way back to fan fannie lou hamer who just went around organizing making sure people knew what to vote knew what the issues will were to someone as great as shirley chisholm who was the first african-american woman to run for president in america so working with that bag i wanted to be a part of that force that made a difference in our community because those who are representing us now are not doing that and observers say it's not just the number of women running for office

if you are frustrated with the democratic party because they went with the congressional democratic agenda in 2018, that will change in 2019, because now it is not schumer and pelosi who are taking the reins of the democratic measures. it will be a battle royale for the democratic nomination and there will be a real fight to make 2020 a referendum on issues like immigration, rather than just putting it on the shelf. john: ok. we have lots of people and a little time. let's take three questions at once. >> i am an undergraduate student at the school of foreign service here. thank you so much for your time. you have spoken at length about the cross-section between democratic voters and catholic voters on the issue of abortion. i would like to ask you a question on the cross-section between democratic politicians who are also pro-choice. it has been almost 40 years since famously the congressman from massachusetts said he was morally opposed to abortion but he was legally pro-choice. i am wondering why 40 years on, that seems to be a radical stance for democratic politicians to take. john: ok

politicking on larry king the twenty eight hundred midterms are now behind us the democratic party has recaptured the house of representatives republicans retain the senate a deeply divided nation now has a deeply divided congress what does this mean for the immediate future of the country and the next two years of it from presidency will stop there with read dickens former white house assistant press secretary secretary under president george w. bush co-founder of maroon boards and e.q. jane and he joins us in studio in washington. what's your read on the shape of the american political system right this minute i think the big story is that the democrats now have the gavel and i think the trump team in general is woefully underprepared so for get president trump's performance of the press conference i think the team doesn't have the depth of the experience to understand what's coming their way with a wave of subpoenas i look at it like a pac twelve team playing alabama they may have a few exciting players that are fun to watch but they don't have the depth to handle what's about to co

there were some good moments for the democratic party. they picked up two congressional seats in a somewhat surprise, some would say. that has also helped them pick up control of the house of representatives in washington, dc. in many ways, though, florida reflects a change in america. what we have seen here in this very tight races is just how polarised this state and america indeed is. the democratic mayor of tallahassee, andrew gillum, who was hoping to be the first ever african—american governor in the state's history, told supporters he'd conceded to his republican rival ron de santis. i want you to know that in spite of oui’ i want you to know that in spite of our congratulating him on his victory this evening, nothing that we believe in is compromised. i still believe that we ought to pay teachers what they are worth. i still believe that. i still believe that we ought to clean up our environment, our air and water quality, our beaches. i still believe that we ought to have the kind of economy where people are able to work one

should you splinter the democratic party overall? no. it is a fool's errand, a disastrous idea and will help , the right-wing win. >> are you saying you don't pick -- think it should happen, but you are talking about civil war. cenk: no, i think there will be healthy and sometimes not healthy fight over ideas. we're not going to bow our heads. when they say let's take donor money and keep spending for defense contractors our answer is no, hard no. what you want to do? this is democracy, so we debate. but it doesn't mean you leave the party. and if anybody is going to leave the party it should be them, not , us. >> it would still result in splintering, right? cenk: if they want to join the republicans and celebrate donors, they are welcome to it. >> are you supporting bernie sanders for 2020? do you think -- cenk: so, i supported bernie sanders in 2016 based on the field. the field is not set yet, so no, right now i have an open mind and i want to see who the candidates are and what their positions are going to be. >> who are some of the

party, by the democratic party i mean what people are voting for and what people are polling on. i think ultimately had the party moved to the left it's much easier to discipline joe manchin when he's in office. joe manchin will definitely be somewhat problematic if the democrats take over, but the idea is that you've got to have enough ballast so that joe manchin becomes irrelevant. >> i think when you think long-term my whole point can be summed down to this. in the long-term we can get a richard ojetta in joe manchin's seat, we get a living wage, we get health care for all, and end the wars. >> and what you don't need-- those two things are not at odds. >> i disagree. >> so, we've got to end it here, folks. i don't know, can we-- do we have like 60 seconds for each person if they want it. 60 seconds and if you want to start. >> i'm going to give up my 60 seconds, i really want to get to a debate. so-- >> so okay. >> don't let the right confuse you about socialism versus social democracy. this is something that they're doing now to confuse and divide and conflate. understand th

democrats will tell you they are a party against racism, and they love al sharpton. and that's a national action network event, and they watch . >> that's why you have leaders like the reverend al sharpton who will not give up and will not give in and will never let it go. >> it seems that whenever there is a crisis, al sharpton and many of you are there. >> reverend sharpton, thank you for saving america. >> tucker: whenever there's a crisis, al sharpton is there. while that's for sure, that's the understatement of the year. thank you for saving america. did they decide that before or after they decided to shoot at freddy's fashion mart? save that tape for the next time some liberal calls you a racist. hilarious. east coast opening columnist may routinely denigrate them but americans remain a caring and generous people. the most caring and generous people in the world by far and unfortunately some people take advantage of that. one year ago, mark d'amico and kate mcclure raised $100,000 on the go fund me site. they did it allegedly for the man named johnny bobbitt.

net negative for the republican party's image in the national poll, net positive for the democratic party image. what did that tell you? >> i'm going to do something amazing, todd, i'm going to agree with tom perez. i think it's hard to look at exit polls when sloetevoters ar voting. i have a hard time looking at them when many voters voted absentee. let's get voters get out and vote. if you haven't voted, get out and vote and we will look at the results when they come in. >> i'm curious, i want to get your reaction to something the president said in an interview earlier today but what he could do perhaps differently going forward. take a listen. i want to get your reaction. >> i would like to have a much softer tone. i feel to a certain extent i have no choice, but maybe i do and maybe i could have been softer from that standpoint. but i want to get things done. >> do you think the tone -- are you concerned that the tone was a little harsh at the end and it may have turned off some s suburban republican voters? >> you know, i'm not. the rnc has been so focused on our ground game and comm

party for years and found a very loud megaphone with bernie sanders one of the democratic presidential contenders during the two thousand and sixteen election so now we have what could end up being a snowball effect with these more very left progressive voices like alexandria as in power margaret zirin thanks so much for that. let's get some international perspective now on the results for that i'm joined by nicole rembert from the german council on foreign relations good morning thanks so much for being with us what are some of your initial reactions to these results where the picture is very mixed if you look at the success of the democrats the democrats retaking the house it's a big positive sign that the democrats provided seem to provide the right answers to very complex questions and that many of the issues which were. on the agenda of the of the trump team didn't really succeed. and on the ballot and therefore it's it's interesting that the democrats and a lot of the media in germany sees it as a big success for the democrats on the other hand. it is very obvious that succeeded

brian kemp accusing the state's democratic party of hacking the head of the georgia democratic party will be here to respond. well you remember what happened last year. you can't bring a backup thanksgiving to my sister's house. it's not like we're going to walk in with it. we'll bring it in as we need it. ...phase it in. phase it in? yeah, phase it in. phase it in? at t-mobile, forty bucks gets you an unlimited plan and a new samsung galaxy s9 included for every line. this is what you get with your $40 plan at verizon. recap! with t-mobile, you get this: four lines four phones for forty bucks. with verizon, you get this... the choice just got a whole lot more obvious. get more because you deserve it. only at t-mobile. whoa! presenting the iwhat's he doing? come on, let's check it out! nice. he's pretty good at this. hm! it's like a game! (gasps) woo-hoo! got it! which car should we get? all of 'em! ooh, yeah! that one! this one looks nice. yes, and yes. i like this game. i think we're winning! delivery? where? (doorbell rings) (man) it's here! what? (announcer) buy your next car fro

as the poll shows, the democratic party is very divided about who they want. undecided is almost as popular as the top candidate as is joe biden who has universal name recognition. who is the candidate that blows the doors off? i think it's the candidate who can prove themselves exciting to people. >> okay, beto o'rourke. >> i think beto o'rourke will be in iowa as much and as often as possible in the early months of 2020. >> do you think he wired this, that he would run even if he lost, that he was planning ahead? >> i don't know if he was planning ahead but the best outcome of him to run for president was to lose by a small margin. if he won the senate seat, i don't think it would have gone well for him to go from austin to des moines. >> why don't you be the trump whisperer here? who is he rooting for? when he does things with elizabeth warren, who people have mixed views about, as do all the candidates, some think she's a winner some don't think so. does trump think heshe's the on he wants, he keeps doing this nickname thing with her. >> i think he thinks

look at the democratic party, there's two undercurrents. the me too movement and the progressive wing of the democratic party. a lot of democrats think about these people, they are moderate has-beens that reek of sexual harassment and the loss to a trump. the grassroots doesn't feel them anymore. they don't have the clinton foundation. all of that money has dried up. the private jets, the global throne kissing. it's not happening anymore. they are downsizing to these north american kind of standard tours and i just think this is their last act. >> jedidiah: juan, you said you didn't think she was going to run. if she's not going to run, why do it? is it just to make money? >> greg: what! how dare you? >> jedidiah: doing this otherwise. if you're not trying to launch a political career. it's not like she is stumping for candidates. >> juan: i don't think it's about money because i think they have a ton of money. i think it's about the fact that she's an elder statesman in the democratic party and despite the kind of caricature and blame game

bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ >> tucker: for about 100 years, the democratic party was a party of the working class, but not anymore. now the democratic party is the party of the merciless corporate power of google, facebook, and the rest and they will punish you if you get in their way. two of the bluest parts of the country showered promises and billions and billions of taxpayer breaks on jeff bezos. he runs amazon. in return, both those states are getting a new amazon headquarters, which is a great deal for jeff bezos, not that he needs it. he's already the richest man on planet earth. but what about taxpayers? eric scheffer joins us tonight. thanks for coming out. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: it's not clear to me. why would new york, and virginia is in on this, but why would they need to pay that much in taxpayer dollars to the richest man in the world for the privilege of having the company moved to new york? >> i came on because the state representative there, cortez, made a statement and made comments basically saying that she didn't want to take amazon's jobs in new york because

i'm howard dean, and i'm here to regesent the democratic win of the democratic party. [cheerapplause] the eembership was going-- ring on--and all the tablishment candidates were just stone-faced. this party needs to be about changing america, because only by changing america will we win back the white house. [cheers and applause] - and i got a call from a good friend of mine, joe trippi. trippi was his media consultant, and he called me and said, "heyisgovernor dean hinking about "running for president. coul you set up some meetings in" i said, "sure. president of what?" - we had, like, 431 people who had signed up to support his campaign1 people in the entire country. i'm not sure his mother was on that list. ad no money, and there were three other people, kerry, gephardt, and john edwards in the race that had all the institutional donor base of the party all sewn up. that had all the institutional donor base - it was clear that this guy was gutsy enough as a candidate to take on the democratic establishment. so trippi and others were arguing that we ght to give that

party should gain that momentum and should be smart about that but the question is will the democratic party be smart about it ok are they matthew what do you think will they regroup looking at what happened what do you see the democrats doing moving forward well i think we're going to see more of the same they're going to continue to pour money i think into these areas where they think they have a chance our home state of arizona for example these states that appear to be shifting a little bit from the conservative camp towards the democrats some people call them purple states and you're seeing a very interesting phenomenon in these places where the urban areas are clearly moving towards the democrats and in many cases are already pretty solidly blue whereas the rural areas remain red remain republican and i think this is going to be the challenge in two years because it doesn't matter how many votes you get at the end of the day in a lot of places it matters you know what you get in the electoral college and so this means that the rural areas is their electoral college is very import

why would you vote -- the democratic party espouses. host: youth engagement is what we are talking about. what you think about the youth vote? caller: i think a lot are energized. a lot of people are going to do the right thing. everybody has a right to vote for whatever party that shares their values. what i have seen is, based on everything in the last two years in this country, definitely more youth are engaging as far as gun regulations or whatever their concerns. a lot of them are definitely voting democrat this year. people are energized. that i see for sure. host: the american psychological association did a survey of people who plan to vote in this election cycle. when it comes to that survey, when it comes to those who describe themselves as older , andcans, 87% were booms the next list at 76% was gen x 'ers. gen z, 54%. millennials, 68%. we had a guest from the organization to talk about stress and america, particularly things politically that we are seeing nowadays that might be causing stress among younger voters. mitigating

not the democratic party, but the socialists that have taken over the democratic party that used to be for the working man. i want to stop the hate that is coming from mainly the left and some of it from the right, perhaps, but we need to get together as a country and unite behind someone who likes the idea of jobs and like the old saying, jobs, not mobs. it bothers me when the people holler usa, usa, i hated that. in the 1980's with reagan because i was a socialist in the 1980's. and frederickwin engels and karl marx and i was a true believer in marxism. 17 or 18 yearsbe old and so how much taxes were being taken out of my check to pay for these ideals, and that is when i became a libertarian. as i say, i voted republican for the first time in my life two years ago. host: thanks for the call. andocrats, 202-748-8920 republicans 202-748-8921. 435 house seats are on the ballot, there are 35 senate races, 36 governor's races in the results on a website at c-span.org. and carried live on c-span radio. into the morning we will open up our phone lines to get your reaction. dan and virginia.

we get the can democratic party to understand this? to understand that it is more than just health care? during thedisappear campaign. thank you for your elegant appeal. identify yourself and ask a question. >> my name is brandon johnson. i'm a native of detroit. student in ther masters program here. i appreciate you for coming very much. i have two questions, both inspired by our panelist from research center, but if the journalist having interesting perspective, i would love to hear your opinions. first one, greg, you mentioned the polarization in catholics, white catholics leaning right and latino catholics leaning left. i am wondering, i am a young white catholic, i have lots of young white catholic friends and they do not tend to lean right. i am wondering if you could stratify that with age? ratesg about low turnout for hispanics, i am curious if there is lingual disenfranchisement and to what extent language is a bear to participation -- a. participation? take -- should i john: either one. gregory: let me point out a couple thin

does this say more about the president or the democratic party? >> one very little covered aspect of this is the youth movement in our party. i've long advocated that it's time for young people to take over the democratic party and that's what they did gains came from young candidates who i predicted are not as liberal as we are. the average millennial, i hate to use that term, first global, is very inclusive in the way they look at the world but in terms -- so socially liberal, if you will but conservative fiscally and there are a lot of moderate democrats elected all over the country. that's been an undercovered story. so i think this is the beginning of the remaking of the democratic party. trump is helping because he's branded the republicans as such a ghastly brand. 69% of people under 30 voted for ralph northam. that's bad news for the republican party. >> it is. >> do you think these millennials realize that to effectively govern you have to govern more from a centrist position? idealism is one thing, putting out the ideology that can be ve

that momentum and should be smart about that but the question is will the democratic party be smart about it. okay are they matthew what do you think will they regroup looking at what happened what do you see the democrats doing moving forward. well i think we're gonna see more of the same again continue to pour money i i think into these areas where they think they have a chance -- our home state of arizona for example these states that appear to be shifting a little bit from the conservative camp towards the democrats some people call them purple states. and you're seeing a very interesting phenomenon in these places where the urban areas are clearly moving towards the democrats and in many cases are already pretty solidly blue were as the rural areas -- we remain red remain republican and i think this is going to be the challenge in two years -- because it doesn't matter how many votes you get at the end of the day and a lot of places it matters you know what you get in the electoral college and so this means that the rural areas in the electoral college is very important support

he doesn't want to be a democrat. he was asked, are you part of the democratic party, he said no. jesse: look at his hair. he's not happy, he's too old. he's a socialist. jesse: let's go to elizabeth warren. i think she is toast. >> regional candidate at best. smart but i don't think by any chance she goes to middle america. the one that's interesting is kamala harris. she has to talk more. too quiet. jesse: i don't think she is likeable. there is something like you said o'rourke was charming. i don't see her as charming. >> we are only seeing the attack mode. the person that can beat truck. it won't be who can outtough trump. you don't go at him and point out the thing he does well. he doesn't like being the bully. if you don't let him avenge. he's got a good story, he turned around the economy, that's the combination that will keep the trump people down. he doesn't like punching first. jesse: he's a counter puncher. up next, diamond and silk on sneaky snipes and avenatti. today is the day you're going to get motivated... get stronger... get closer. start listening today to the w

others speak in one voice with the democratic party. the state run democratic party, despite false claims of impartiality, being fair and balanced, these people, they work on every single day, they want to destroy the presidency of donald trump at all costs. even, sadly, if it is going to hurt the people that are clearly benefiting in this country from his presidency. isn't it supposed to be out serving people? and today in a press conference, the president came out with a conciliatory tone. kind words or likely incoming speaker pelosi, the newly divided capitol hill, but guess what, people in the media, they wanted none of it. especially true of cnn's jim acosta. as he all but called the president a racist, tried to debate the president am i thinking oh, it is my tv so. physically strong-arming a female white house aide, angry the blue wave, as a network predicted, never materialized peered this conduct is beyond reprehensible. imagine anybody doing this to obama. take a look. >> mr. president, if i may ask a question, -- >> president

-- to the democratic party? republicans have held control of it for decades. and whether finally new york will get early voting procedure in place like many other states have? >> 37 states have early voting, but not york -- new york. farmers brought their crops to the market in the 1800s on tuesday. that is why we're in an 18th election system. alot of people can vote on tuesday. if you're out of town, working. a lot of people worked during the day and they cannot get off to vote. 15% of people who did not vote in the last election said they could not get off work or did not have time. early voting gets more people time to participate. governor cuomo says he supports only voting. maybe by his third term he will make this a priority. i think every time people go to vote in new york there some sort of problem, whether the machines are broken or there are long lines or was of last primary people are not on the voting rolls. people think new york is a loose day, progressive state. that is true to some extent, but ou

there is no longer a moderate wing of the democratic party. but they cheerfully will be voting for and with a very dark, deep hard left leadership. >> cortez does make herself irrelevant when she says any complaints against her are sexism. cortez gets basic economic definitions wrong. she says the jobless rate is low because they are working two jobs. there are 7 million multiple job holders. grover, people are saying the defense department got a $700 billion budget increase when that was the total defense spend for 2018. these aren't just rookie mistakes. there is something wrong with our university system in how they pump out these individuals and get basic stuff wrong and they become our leaders. >> the democratic party vetted letter. they said we want you. she didn't fall into this. it says something about the modern democratic party,ing as long as you get and scream loud enough and sound left wing, you are okay. they don't ask if you have any working knowledge of how economics works or how congress works. this will be a challenge for the

as you know, the democratic party is really looking for leaders now. because barack obama is a former president and he still really is the leader of the democratic party. he is one that can really turn out voters and if democrats turn out a lot, basically the more people to vote, the better news for democrats in the election. host: one note as you well know, tim kaine who is running for reelection, hillary clinton's running mate, was among the first senators to endorse barack obama when he was running back in 2007, 2008 before he got the nomination. >> that's right, that's right. obama mentioned that. they all remember who backed them early on, especially when it was brave to back politically speaking obama over hillary clinton, certainly as obama noted that tim kaine was probably advised you probably don't want to be one of the first to endorse obama. they go back a while and kaine is a heavy favorite to win his reelection campaign, as is jennifer what extent, who is looking to unseat barbara comstock. most independent handicappers have her winning th

kemp, the republican nominee for governor, has not provided evidence or said why the democratic party is being investigated so close to the election. >> cnn learned the accusation started when the voter reached out to the democratic party to say he discovered potential vulnerabilities in the registration system. the democrats, including the rival stacey abrams deny the claim. >> there were imperfections in the system. weaknesses. they were told about this on friday. instead of owning up to the failure, he decided to blame democrats. we are not responsible. we have nothing to do with this. i'm sad that instead of owning up to his responsibility and honoring his commitment as secretary of state, he is misleading georgia. >> groups say kemp is in a conflict of interest. >>> president trump claims he will reinstate protections for pre-existing conditions if the lawsuit successfully guts the affordable care act. right now, the justice department says it should cut down the pre-existing conditions. that could lead to lose of cover. republicans have never come up with the same plan. the pres

you have certainly made a dent in the democratic party. now it seems like you're trying to make a real difference with a slate of candidates across the country for everything from the senate down to local elections. who are you most excited about in that crowd? >> well, we have great candidates. >> reporter: democratic randy bryce is running in wisconsin's first congressional district, the seat currently held by house speaker paul ryan. when you entered this race, i gather you were a bit of a sacrificial lamb, you were the long shot and suddenly you're the front runner. >> we've been able to put together something that hasn't been put together in the 20 years that paul ryan has been here. >> reporter: bryce is an iron worker by trade and a former volunteer on bernie's 2016 campaign. >> i've heard they call you iron stache. >> i've been called that. >> reporter: and i also read that your campaign not only supports unions but is unionized. >> we're the first in american politics to unionize, absolutely. >> with your help and with help from p

>> i think that the risk in the democratic party is not only the gender rift and the black women in the democratic party wanting somebody else, it's generational, she's 72 year's old, so there's a generational rift and the fact that they all ran, all the new members to have house ran on this idea of change, they represent sort of the establishment, just like the republicans had the same issue last week with the election of kevin mccarthy and jim jordan's challenge to kevin mccarthy, you the same thing going on in the democratic party. it would be short-sided for the democratic party to ignore the fact that nancy pelosi has been in power for she's long, she's part of the reason that they're in power now. for president trump to support her tells me that he wants another poster child for the next election to say this is what you're getting, he would rather have maxine waters speaker of the house but nancy pelosi is a nice second choice. jillian: we have to run, i want to give rochelle a couple seconds, if democrats can't come together on this, do you think it'll cause more problems? >> i t

democratic party. things are still far too early to give any sort of general view about what is good to happen here. but definitely i don't think that you are looking at a whitewash here or anything like that. that has been borne out in the polling as well in recent days. even though ted cruz has had a six or seven point lead pretty consistently over the last month. and whatever happens in texas, i mean, he has really lit up the democratic side of the campaign. he would be seen potentially as a 2020 candidate, wouldn't he?” he would be seen potentially as a 2020 candidate, wouldn't he? i think thatis 2020 candidate, wouldn't he? i think that is absolute right. this is one of the issues that parties in this country have got parties in opposition. had you create the next generation that recognisable on a national stage, you know, in the sense that you don't really have leaders of the opposition in the traditional way that you might have in britain and in other places in europe. so it is very difficult

they have to talk about impeachment. 80% of the democratic party wants it. there's a petition with 6 million signatures on it and the people going into the house want it. they will go down that road. it will look in some cases like overreach and that will hurt them in 2020. on the house side it's investigations. for the investigative branch, it probably means gridlock. i would not expect major move on legislation, and we are going to have a presidential campaign over all the top of it. >> bakari sellers, you are a democrat. >> yes, still. >> who do you want to see running the democratic caucus in the house? >> thank you for the loaded bomb question. this is my issue. my issue is that, for example, mcbath is on her way to tbing a congressman because of abrams and you have these personalities and progressive ideas and coattails that helped to create the majority, right? even though we could not vote for beto o'rourke, he created energy. they don't reflect that portion of the democratic party, so you have people like joe cunningham who vowed to vote against nan

. >> secretary of state launching a probe of the state's democratic party over what it describes as an attempt to a hack of the state's voter registration system. >> a desperate attempt on the part of my opponent. >>> a mayor from utah serving with the national guard in afghanistan was killed during an insider attack. major brent taylor was a father of seven. >> my heart bleeds for those kids. >> today the united states reimposed sanctions against iran that were lifted with the 2015 nuclear deal. >> and they'll be the toughest sanctions ever placed against islamic republic of iraq. >>> the trial of mexican drug lord el chapo is set to get under way. iggest drug cartel. f running >> she did it again, dominating new york city marathon. >>> and all that matters. >> i know he lost his eye in war, whatever. >> comedian pete davidson under fire for mocking a former navy s.e.a.l. who's running for congress. >> i want us to get away from this culture where we demand apologies every time someone makes a mistake. >>> russell wilson to the end zone and caught. touchdown. what a grab by jaron brow
