senator warnock. >> i'll take the reverend and thesenator . let us be clear. the single most important day the congress and president can do is to pass voting rights. i know that we have debates on a range of issues that are critically important. some issues like climate change represent a real access essential threat. we are concerned about health care, education, a whole range of issues. but we americans live in a house that democracy built. and right now that house is on fire. so we've got to have federal standards that push against what we are seeing in texas and what we are seeing in georgia. this is a shameless, unabashed assault on people's voting rights. and voting rights is not just a political issue. this is a moral issue because the vote in essence is really aboutyour voice . and your voice is about your humanity. so i want to thank these texas legislators for coming up because in a real sense they are fighting for our humanity. they are trying to make sure the voices of the people aren't squeezed out of their own democracy. the only reason anyone o

warnock: thank you so much. sen. brown: i understand the chair cannot comment on the importance of the child's tax credit that i can come and i thank senator were not for bringing it up even in his first six months in the senate on an issue that will make difference to 39 million families, 92% of children in my state will benefit from it. we do not quite have everybody getting checks today or direct posits today. we encourage people to go to taxcredit.gov, people that have not been eligible -- 92% of children in my state. senator warner, thank you for my work -- thank you for your work on that. chair powell, thank you for being a witness and providing testimony for senators who wished to summit questions for the record, this questions are due one week from today, thursday, july 22. chair powell, u of 45 days to respond to any questions. with that -- you have 45 days respond any questions. with that the hearing is adjourned. chair powell: thank you. alix: you been listening to fed chair jay powell testifying before th

warnock: thank you so much. >> thank you, senator warnock. i understand the comment on the immense support of child tax credits, but i think senator warnock for bringing it up and thank him for his leadership even in the first six months in the senate on an issue that will make a huge difference to 39 million families, 52 million children. we don't quite have everybody getting checks today or direct deposits today, tomorrow and saturday, we encourage people to go to taxcredit.gov for people that are eligible. as i said, 92% of the children in my state. senator warnock, thank you for that. chair powell, thank you for being witness in providing testimony for senators who wish to submit questions to the record. those questions are due one week from today. on thursday, july 22. you have 45 days to respond to questions. thank you. with that, the hearing is adjourned.

warnock will tell you, in georgia, that this will -- that this is going on all over the country to the point that since the beginning of the year, we have 22 laws to restrict voting that have been enacted in 14 states with the texas senate passage of sb1 yesterday, a total of 32 bills to rollback the right to vote have passed at least one chamber of the legislature. when people ask us why we have put forward the for the people act which is the first bill to be introduced in the senate authored by senator merkley and supported strongly by the rules committee, why we lead with this bill. it is because we could see this coming. most political parties in the past, when they lose an election, they want to reach out to more voters and how to they change their party and change their candidates. they are wondering how we can change the votaries -- change the voters. we know the history of texas which are about to hear but this was a state, my best examples with that they had one ballot dropbox in harris county. one dropbox in a county of over 5 billion people. the analogy in my state would be

warnock will tell you, in georgia. that this is going on all over the country, to the point that we now have since the beginning of the year, the two laws to restrict voting that have been enacted in 14 states, with the texas senate passage of sb one yesterday, a total of 32 bills to roll back the right to vote have passed at least one chamber of the legislature. so when people ask us why we have put forward the for the people act, which is the first bill to be introduced in the senate, authored by senator markley and supported by the senate rules committee, why we lead with this bill. it's because we could see this coming. most political parties in the past, when they lose an election, what do they do? they think how can i change my policies, how can i change my candidate? what did they do? they said how can we stop people from voting who voted before. we all know the history of texas, which you are about to hear, but this was a state -- one of my best examples as they had one valid dropbox in tarrant county of -- a c

used to be nine weeks when ossoff and warnock won. reduced to 28 days. and guess what, rachel, you can register to vote 29 days. so no new voter can register, and you cannot vote on weekends in the runoff, but you can in the general. everything is done to sow confusion. limited hours for the ballot drop boxes. less ballot drop boxes. limited restrictions when it comes to mail-in balloting. it's one thing after another. and you brought up one of the most egregious things, and senator warnock has a bill to fix it, that basically takes the power that was instilled in the local officials and the local election boards and then basically says, hey, state election board, we're going to throw off 2/3 of your members, we're going to replace them with our own so it's a republican legislature and then if we find a few technical violations we're going to get rid of your local election officials. this is a pure smackdown of voting rights, and it's why we went there and it's why the solution is the for the people act. basic national -- >> the for the people act obviou

i know you went to get the word at ebenezer baptist church from reverend warnock before that. but of course, you'll be hearing from him again tomorrow, along with other georgia residents and experts in a rare senate rules committee hearing in atlanta on the voting restrictions recently enacted in that state. i was chair of the rules committee. what has happened in georgia for you to hold this hearing outside of washington? >> well, about 400 things have happened, al, and that's all the laws have been introduced people's freedom to vote. 28 of these bills have been signed into law. georgia is so egregious, because we've all heard about the lack of water for people in line, how you can't even give it out on a non-partisan basis. but they have done stuff like said okay, those ballot boxes, limited the hours, said you can only have them at early voting locations, made it harder to vote by mail, and then here's my favorite, the run-offs that they require here, they were nine weeks when ossoff and warnock ran. they reduced them to 28 days, because you have to register 29 days before

yamiche: sahil, you talked to senator warnock from georgia. talk to us about what he told you and overall where does voting rights legislation stand right now? sahil: the landscape for voting rights advocates is a tough one. the only way to get something major done on voting rights on capitol hill is to pierce through the filibusternd the reality is there are two democratic senators who are outspoken in defense of the filibuster that is west virginia's joe manchin and krirsen sinema. sinema is a co-sponsor of the for the people act she wants it to become law but doesn't believe it's worth getting rid of the 60 vote rule. i spoke to senator warnock, asked him what he told the president. he wouldn't say but he was emfa sittic that democrats can't give up. they need to try to get voting rights done. he said there's talk in congress about democrats doing a $4 trillion economic package, whether it's infa structure, the safety net families programs, in addition to the $1.9 trillion covid relief bill. a point to me is none of that would have happened

raphael warnock is up again in 2022. is it what you're calling the fuse urgency your calling for now lacking from the federal gornment? >> i'm fortunate, no. $25 million sound like a lot in my personal life that would be a lot, but in terms of democracy that is a drop in the bucket. let's talk about sherrilyn ifill and what the what else could do. it is a good time to talk about expanding the court and i would love to see someone li sherrilyn ifill and someone nominated to expanded supreme court. even if they pass the legislation, it is still going to have to pass the constitutiality test from a supreme urt that h already shown what it's taste is. so we need to expand the court. again, you asked about georgia. yes, senator warnock be up again ne year ands we said, we're not going to be able to just out organize this lel of voter suppression. the scary thing about the georgia bill, which is part of a trade we are seeing inther states, it has that piece in there that would make it easier for the state t overturn elections.

yesterday several senators including raphael warnock and joe manchin met inside senate majority leader schumer's office in washington as the washington post reports to hash out the details of the bill which is expected to at least partially incorporate a framework assembled by senator joe manchin. today, senator warnock said he is encouraged by that meeting with democrats focus on getting something passed to protect voting rights. >> passing voting rights in my view is the most important thing we can do in this congress. now i know that there are a lot of pressing issues but the american houses, the house is built by democracy, if we don't preserve our democracy, strengthen peoples access to it then we will not have done our job. >> the texas democrats are still in washington urging lawmakers to pass federal legislation on voting rights today. some of the texas democrats testified to a house oversight subcommittee. >> i'm here because this is the seat of democracy and my people who i represent have a right to be able to vote, unabridged, just like on a few. >> the manager target has mo

it's one thing after another and you brought a point of the most egregious things that senator warnock has a bill to fix it, that basically takes the power that was instilled in the local officials and their local election boards and then basically says the state election board, were gonna throw off two thirds of your members, were gonna replaced with their own and then if we find a few technical violations we're gonna get rid of your local election officials. this is a pure smackdown of voting rights and it's why we want their. and that's why the solution is the for the people act. basic national voting rights. >> the for the people act, obviously, is the subject of all sorts of activism and strategizing and worked and speech-ifying and we're seeing sort of pressure in all of the different ways that it comes including this increasingly dramatic direct action event. people engaging in peaceful civil disobedience. blocking traffic to include today in washington, dozens of women arrested, trying to do anything they can to move people's conscience to pass this thing. is there any movement

how about raphael warnock? he would get as much as $25 million. call chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire, to make sure you want him to run for -- if he does, we will win. maggie hassan would get as much as $9 million. -- in nevada would get as much as $11 million. michael bennet could get up to $11 million. let's talk about chuck schumer. don't you just love the guy? he is not partisan at all. he says we have to pass this bill. we have to pass this to save democracy. no, he wants to pass it to save his skin. guess how much she would get? up to $45 million of your money to a run attack ads. it is corruption for the democrats out in the open. and it is based on a complete lie, there is no basis for this. we should all congratulate the arizona gop because they had an historic victory in the supreme court. [applause] think that her president trump and the supreme court who have upheld election security laws so that hopefully in 2022 we will have across the country a secure, free and fair election, which is all we expect. but the democrats are

georgia's ra fell warnock at a senate hearing in georgia. senate democrats today took their push for voting rights legislation to the state that was ground zero for voting restrictions inspired by donald trump's big lie of a stolen election, hearing from people affected by georgia's sweeping new voting law. as "the new york times" reports, their real aim is to sway a debate more than 500 miles away in washington where democrats are trying to revive a stalled elections overhaul in the senate to make it easier to vote and offset many of the changes republicans have pushed through in states like georgia. joining us now is blit cal reporter for the atlanta constitution. good to see you, greg. i will start with you. you were at the hearings today. what was the energy like in the room? i know republicans didn't even attend, but was it people mostly giving testimonials, was it people giving suggestions for improvement? what did we actually hear at the hearings today in atlanta? >> yeah, as you mentioned republicans essentially boycotted the hearing

group of as reverend warnock said on the senate floor -- he said, some people don't want some people to vote. i think what he meant was the -- americans that are very angry that joe biden is president. they know that american voters and other communities of color helped elect and may have been the decisive reason that joe biden is president. and that kamala harris is vice president. those same americans are angry that reverend warnock -- [ indiscernible ] they are angry because they know that black voters led us to victory. they are trying to suppress the votes of black americans. simple as that. i think anyone who denies that is denying reality. >> all right. senator bob casey, thank you for being with us. >>> coming up, "politics nation," frederick douglass once made a famous speech about the fourth of july. and we are still asking ourselves today, what, to the slave, is this holiday? i havein today's rise up. but first, today's other top news stories. joe. >> thanks rev. stories we are watching this hour. the pashlcally collapsed champlain towers complex in surfside florida could

i do think it's important to note you have raphael warnock, the senator from georgia, pushing the teen yiflt conversations not just with democrats but republicans. but all those photo use just put up, that's negotiation among democrats to try to get them on the same page, let alone trying to figure out if there's going to be any votes on the republican side. >> anna, very few have covered as closely the ins and outs of this drama as you. tell us where we are now. what do you expect? what sort of timetable are we looking at in particular on the republicans? a number of them ended up siding to advance this yesterday. but we're hearing obviously sharp criticism from former president trump on the bill. do we think these republicans will be able to resist caving in to the pressure applied by someone who still enjoys remarkable popularity among their voters? >> yeah. i mean i think it was a pretty stunning vote. 67 senators voted for this infrastructure package, alarmer number than a lot of folks thought, including fact you had senate minority leader mitch mcconnell sign on at the end and ot

how about raphael warnock in georgia, as much as $25 million of your tax dollars. new hampshire, maggie hassan, by the way, call chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire to make sure you want him to run for senate. if he does we will win. cortez masso in nevada as much as $11 million. in colorado michael bennett he'll get up to $11 million. or 16 million dollars. now let's talk about our good friend chuck schumer, now, chuck schumer, don't you just love the guy? so you know, he's not partisan at all. so he says we have to pass this bill, he's working on it really hard because we have to pass it to save democracy. no, he wants to pass it to save his skin. guess how much he would get? up to $45 million of your money to run attack ads. it's corruption for the democrats right out in the open and it's based on a complete, complete lie. there's no basis for this. now, first off, we all should congratulate the arizona g.o.p., they had a historic victory in the supreme court, right? [applause] >> so thank god for president trump's picks for the supreme court, they uphel

part of the ad that goes after warnock you just mentioned. >> mid-summer classic, the all-star game, $100 million boost to georgia's economy until the radical left woke crowd took it all away. forcing the mlb to boycott georgia. even stacy abram opposed it. warnock refused to oppose it. >> bill: texas lock in early voting in this legislation for times and days and hours that the state of delaware has never seen in terms of early voting. >> well it is calling into question why joe biden suddenly decided to call this jim crow 2.0, a quote from him. when he has represented delaware in the senate for decades and never said anything about their restrictive voting policies. i do think, bill, if you think about it, herschel walker is rumored to be one of the top contenders. the most popular entity in the state of georgia isn't republicans or democrats, it is the atlanta braves. if you combine that with the georgia bulldogs and herschel walker i think sports could be a significant litmus test for a lot of voters in georgia. warnock will have a difficult time trying to explain to georgia spor

as a small group of senators work on scaled down legislation spearheaded by georgia senator raphael warnock. >> i think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. we have to work on the physical infrastructure of our country and the infrastructure of our democracy. it is the responsibility of congress to provide baseline federal standards for voting. >> senate democrats hope to unveil a new bill in the coming days. >>> joining us now, author of the "washington post's" early morning news letter "power up," jacqueline alemany. good morning. thank you for being here. walk us through the new proposal by democrats around is it possible it could sideline the voting that is in the works that seems to have stalled? >> yeah, jon. a small group of senators met on the hill to talk about the back-and-forth of the bipartisan deal revised on thursday. this revised legislation is bill around a framework that senator joe manchin had provided and released earlier this year after he came out against for the people act, which has fallen into the legislative graveyard in the senate after it was unable to get t

they just had a big turnout and two democrats, warnock and all self won that senate race. and then joe biden won the presidential race before that. so what's the answer? as reverent warnock likes to say on the senate floor some, people just don't want some people to vote. and it's to limit the number of voters. so that is why we are bringing the rules committee. we're gonna have some witnesses. we announced today with the state legislator for a long time advocating on voting rights as well as a voter. and hear from other voters as well over the weekend about what happened to him and their own individual stories. because when people hear the stories of the long lines, and seniors waiting in lines. hot. when you hear those stories, you know that there's only one pass to go and that is the path towards the righteous democracy and allowing people to vote. >> senate rules committee chairwoman amy klobuchar, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thanks lawrence. >> thank you. and coming up, supporters of donald trump interrupted a town hall for families held this weeken

those same americans are angry that reverend warnock -- -- has not made it possible for us to get to the majority like jon ossoff. they are angry because they know that black voters led us to victory. they are trying to suppress the votes of black americans. simple as that. i think anyone who denies that is denying reality. >> all right. senator bob casey, thank you for being with us. >>> coming up, "politics nation," frederick douglass once made a famous speech about the fourth of july. and we are still asking ourselves today, what, to the slave, is this holiday? i have more in today's rise up. but first, today's other top news stories. joe. >> thanks, rev. stories we are watching this hour. the partially collapsed champlain towers complex in surfside florida could come down later tonight. that's according to two sources close to the search and rescue efforts. crews are making preparations for the demolition and monitoring the potential impact of tropical storm elsa, which is tracking toward the area. 24 people are confirmed dead. and 121 are still missing as a result of the buildin

that is where senator warnock and senator ossoff became great senators as they are. they produced the time for that runoff to only 20 days. there is no time after the general election. they reduced it, and, wait they can't replace a law that you cannot register as a new voter you have to do it 29 days before, pretty obvious. >> we did see the astonishing thing in the runoff senate campaigns in georgia and that was that they were able to get more voters in that senate election for the second round of the senate election. >> exactly. and the ballot boxes, the jump up boxes, so important. i'm sure a lot of your viewers use. that they said you have to use less of them, you could only use them at the early voting locations and, only during those hours. a bit redundant. it's just a measure after measure. i'm looking forward to working with our two great senators in georgia, member of the rules committee. the day before i will be seeing the great stacey abrams. we think it's really important for these senators to go to georgia and see exactly what is going on and hear direc

so there's still a lot of questions about who will emerge as the challenger as warnock in the midterms, former football star, walker, teased a run of some sort. the former president trump and former auburn coach tommy tuberville make leap from sports to washington. a senator from alabama. is there an appetite in georgia for a former athlete such as herschel walker to be in office? >> i think there's such an appetite that the republican field is pretty frozen right now, many big name republicans are waiting to see what he will do and former president donald trump is openly encouraged him to run. he likely entered with donald trump's endorsement with republican politics in georgia is still very influential and that left former senator loeffler and buddy carter and others waiting to see what herschel will do until they decide that the complicated factor is herschel walker lives in texas. so move back to georgia and put together a campaign apparatus and let voters and grassroots organizers and the media know where he stands on key positions because he's never run for public office before a

it's people like senator warnock, reverend warnock, who i'm about to see at his church. jon tester in montana. i think joe manchin listens and i'm not giving up. i'll leave it at that. i'm not giving up. >> new topic, senator. i want you to hear what president biden said about social media giants and misinformation this week. >> they're killing people. i mean, it really -- look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. and they're kill ing people. >> do you think facebook should face consequences and should pacebook be broken up? >> social media has greatly contributed to this misinformation. there's no doubt. look at the numbers from the kaiser foundation. two-thirds of the people who have not gotten vaccinated say because they've gotten something off social media. come on. so i really appreciate president biden calling this out. and for months now, i've been taking on the dirty dozen, 12 people responsible for something like 60% of this misinformation. some of them have been taken off of their account. but there's more to do. i think we should also look at

so i completely agree with senator reverend warnock that it is congress' responsibility to act on this and i do hope the white house steps up to the plate and backs it all the way. as they're talking about this revised language, the number one thing in my mind, chris, is there all of a sudden support for stopping the filibuster? what is the pathway to get this to biden's desk? i'm not looking too far ahead here, i just want to know and make sure because advocates are going to asking it, they're going to be asking it of the white house, of senators and members of congress. they better have an answer for that when they roll out this revised language. >> let me read you to from eugene robinson's latest column in "the washington post." he writes, hooray that we have a bipartisan compromise on infrastructure. but to make biden's pronouncement that democracy can function true, the right to vote has to be protected, and i don't see how that happens as long as the filibuster survives. a congress that can barely touch its meat isn't likely to eight its vegetables. what do you think about that,

this is a concerted effort at people like reverend warnock. and he is someone who in his own words, he decided to devote his maiden speech on the floor to voting rights. as he summed it up better than i've said in this interview, some people don't want some people to vote. that's what this is about. >> senator amy klobuchar, chair of the senate rules committee, thank you for joining us once again tonight. we always appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> coming up, man bombers for trump. two men were accused in federal court today of plotting to bomb democratic headquarters in the hope of starting a war for donald trump. that's next. there's an america we build and one we explore. one that's been paved and one that's forever wild. but freedom means you don't have to choose just one adventure. you get both. introducing the wildly civilized all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l (piano playing) here we go. ♪♪ [john legend's i can see clearly now] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ make your reunion happen with vrbo. your together awaits. vrb

i don't care if it's senator ossoff, senators warnock, you need to call them. the other side is mobilizing go to stop jim crow 2.0.com to learn more. this monday, this fight is not over, craig, let's be clear just like congresswoman beatty said. senator klobuchar are doing a field hearing for the for the people act. they're going to be in atlanta on monday hearing from voters and advocates about voter suppression and let's also remember that if we had re-authorized the voting rights act in the beginning of the year or last year, the horrible bill that passed in georgia would likely not have been able to go into law because it would have been reviewed by the department of justice. the john lewis voting rights act is critical to shoring up voting rights in the south and across the country, and it's got to be married for the for the people act, and we have republicans from texas to new hampshire trying to make it harder to vote all inspired by the big lie. it is time for congress to act. they have a constitutional duty in the 14th and 15th amendment to protect bla

several senators including raphael warnock, amy klobuchar and joe manchin are huddled in senate leader chuck schumer's office to discuss the legislation and the momentum is building. the new york times and nbc news both report that the president will meet with speaker nancy pelosi, and leader schumer tomorrow to discuss voting rights legislation. the need for action could not be more pressing. today texas state democrats who fled their states to block a restrictive voting bill testified before congress about the desperate need for federal action to block voter suppression efforts at home. vote >> this is a practical implication that is going to disenfranchise hundreds and thousands of votes of texans. and so that is why we're here. we try to work with our counterparts but every amendment that we presented was declined. >> where was that, in committee? >> yes sir. in committee. on the 23 hour there were amendments that were presented, even during the regular session when we presented amendments they would not always admit it. and so we have tried, we've used every tool in our tool box t

i am very grateful for senator raphael warnock of georgia who i think has been instrumental in bringing the party together, including senator manchin. it's really good news. it's a sign of progress. frankly, it's a sign that would bishop barber the poor people campaign and others who are willing to take direct nonviolent action across the country, what they're doing is actually working it's bringing the parties to the table, they're feeling the pressure and they know that they need to move forward. i would argue, and agree fully with bishop barber, that as important as the physical infrastructure of our country is, if we do not save the infrastructure of our democracy, protect the right to vote and guaranteed field for elections going forward we will lose it forever and nothing else is possible. raising the minimum wage. expanding access to health care, confronting climate change, legalizing illegal immigrants in this country. all these things only become when we bring people in the voting places, so that their voices are heard. i hope that senator warnock and others who believe in this

so hr-1 must be amended to include warnock's provisions and perhaps other ones. also, democrats need to go on offense on this and not just be playing defense. so my feeling is that when the human infrastructure bill comes to the floor, the one they're going to push through with 50 votes, and reconciliation, because election equipment has been declared critical infrastructure by the department of homeland security, they should have a provision that says that any state that wants any of that money for that critical infrastructure to upgrade their election systems must provide no excuses absentee ballots at a minimum so that they don't curtail people's right to vote by mail-in ballot if they choose. >> sorry, we're out of town on this segment. thank you very much for joining our discussion. really appreciate it. >>> coming up the latest trump friend to be indicted was released today on just $250 million bail. daniel alonzo joins us next. ba. daniel alonzo joins us next. moisturize with shea butter and she's wearing my robe. mom: ahem ahem ahem we're out. i don't jus

they just had a big turnout and two democrats, raphael warnock and jon ossoff, won the u.s. senate race. and before that, joe biden won the presidential race. and so, what's their answer? well, as reverend warnock likes to say on the senate floor, some people don't want some people to vote. and it's to limit the number of voters. so that's why we are bringing the rules committee. we are going to have some excellent witnesses we announced today of a state legislator, a longtime advocate on voting rights. um, as well as a voter. and hear from other voters, as well, over the weekend about what happened to them in their own, individual stories. because when people hear the stories of the long lines and seniors waiting in line, hot. when they hear those stories, they know that there's only one path to go and, that is, the path toward a righteous democracy and allowing people to vote. >> senate rules committee chair woman, amy klobuchar, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank, lawrence. >> thank you. >>> and coming up. supporters of donald trump interrupted a town ha

because it neighbors you're going to have senator war warnock trying to hold his seat in georgia. when you see in the states trump won, that saying the liberal stole the elections? no, that's not what happened. but critical race theory and that's the dog whistle of the race card in that ad. >> and in georgia you're going to have republicans trying again to label him as a radical, liberal socialist communist. but the republican field at least in georgia is kind of in disarray, because trump has tried to recruit former football star her shell walker. but he would have to move to georgia and decide he wants to run. it hasn't happened but it's allowed warnock to get a head start in what we think is a competitive race because georgia still is -- it's a battle ground, but georgia is used to electing republicans. >> it is. and a midterm election year, you would think the president's party normally suffers. a couple other great races. the democrats trying to hold arizona. that has been a tough state but it's been trending more to the blue. and democrats hope it's a long shot, but they hop

we all think that raphael warnock really summed it up in his maiden speech when he said you know what this is all about? this is about some people not wanting some people to vote. and what we're talking about here is republicans not wanting black americans, communities of color, poor americans, college students, native americans from voting. and they want to force people to vote on election day and then use all the shenanigans that are time tested. you take and you don't put enough staff in an election -- in a precinct. so they have a long line. and then you even say you can't even give water to people in that line. you put precinct locations in a different place every two years to confuse people. you proceed to put them where there's no parking. you proceed to put out false information about where those precinct places are. i mean, we understand the game being played here. and it's the same game that haunted our country for a century before the 1965 voting rights act. and it's unbelievable that our republican colleagues are going back to these racist tactics of the past in their sear

that voted for -- in macon, georgia, a voter that voted for joe biden and kamala harris and raphael warnock and jon ossoff, they're going to say, you know, my vote counted, this election really mattered. that's why we're going to win the midterms next year. but forget about that. we're going to show people that government can be on their side and government works and their lives are going to get better. it's going to change the way this country sees about the effectiveness of government, seeing it through the eyes of who's on my side. >> speaking of the midterms, so you've got an interesting race on the senate side. rob portman is leaving. you have a collection of republicans who are arguing over who can be the most ridiculous and detached and trumpian and you have tim ryan stepping into the race as well. talk about in a state that, look, quite frankly ohio used to lean purple and now it seems to be leaning red. what has a democrat like tim ryan or other democrats have to do to make sure they can be competitive and possibly win that senate seat in ohio next year? >> ryan is a good candidate
