Would you put a national Abortion Ban on the floor for Majority Leader i politics, the best reporting from inside the quarters of power starts now good morning. Welcome Inside Politics sunday, im manu raja, The Middle East is on edge this morning following israels killing of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah on friday deepening fears that a wider war could engulf the region and it all comes with just 37 days left until Election Day here in the u. S. Vice president s Vice President ial debate is this tuesday. And with polls showing the race still deadlocked and a candidates spending the weekend in key Battleground States. Now reacting to the news from overseas Vice President harris saying in a statement, Quote Todays hezbollah victims have a measure of justice, but adding diplomacy remains the best path forward now, Trump Wasnt Wisconsin Yesterday where he did not mention the killing of the Hezbollah Leader, but he did paint the dark picture of a Harris Presidency over, over the border. And he criticized her by saying this kamala is mentally impaired shes incompetent. Shes not a smart person. If kamala is reelected your town and every town just like it all across wisconsin and all across our country. The heart blend the coast. It doesnt matter, will be transformed into a third World Hellhole they say, no, no, these are migrants. These migrants, they dont commit crimes like no, no, they make our criminals look like babies. These are stone cold killers. Theres a fly. Oh, i wonder whether fly came from years ago. I wouldnt have had a Fly Up here all right. A lot to unpack this morning with a great panel on this consequential weekend, including Susan Page with usa today, Astead Herndon with the New York Times, Jasmine Wright would notice and Dan Balz of the Washington Post Warning to you all. Thank you all for being here. A lot to get through. Of course. Theres new from overseas. Well see give it impacts the president ial race. Typically Foreign Policy issues dont this year or maybe its different if things escalate, but lets talk about where things are right now in this race and theres just a furious effort ongoing to try to convince that small number of persuadable voters, people who have not made up their mind yet about whether they could vote look for harris or trump, or maybe they could vote minds can change the recent poll. Here shows where thats at a battleground. Voters say 10 of Battleground Voters say that their minds could change. Then you look at independence, that number from a Fox News Poll nationally, likely voters 30 of independent voters say their minds could change Dan Balz, youve ever veteran of many president ial campaigns where do the haley campaigns view . There . This moment and their strategies were trying to pick off those voters who are still saying maybe they can change her mind. I think the number of people who are truly undecided is very, very small. I think that the more important Group Voters are the people who think they think they know who they would probably vote for, but may not vote. And i think thats the big test for both of these campaigns and particularly for Vice President Harris Campaigns shes lagging among man, among younger men in particular, and they know that, they know that they have to do to a better job of getting them out. But i think right now were into a real battle on turnout. And i think thats, thats, thats where the race is moving. Its really remarkable just how tight this race is. I mean, youll get poll after Poll Battleground after bagram. Things are just unbelievably close cnn has done an average of the most recent Battleground State polls. And youre seeing right there, she does have a slightly harris does in michigan, according to Cnn Poll of polls, but just deadlocked in wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, all within the margin of error, no clear leader in any of those similarly in arizona, in north carolina, susan you youve covered so many president ial races. Your view of is this. Have you seen a race . Theres type of war. Does this remind you of any race in how do the campaigns get any distance from their opponent . You know, i dont think weve never had a president ial race and so close at this point in time, but they face really different challenges because americans have made up their minds about Donald Trump. There are no persuadable voters are almost no left when it comes up, when it comes to Donald Trump. But they havent made up their minds yet about Kamala Harris. And so thats the task of the next, next few weeks on both sides to define Kamala Harris personal way that is appealing if youre a democrat and that is not appealing if, if youre a republican the concern for the Harris Campaign is about that very issue defining her. And a more favorable, favorable light and about some of the issues that voters care the most about, like the economy is, lets look into what some of the issues that she is not doing as well as trump needs to do better if youre a Democrat Look at the New York Times Sienna Poll just coming out over the weekend. Trump, have impact on candidates policies what kind of impact is a sound thats the question voters from michigan, wisconsin, and ohio, but trumps policies, 46 say that helped Donald Trumps policies have helped them 30, 43 say, heres his policies would hurt them. Thats you talked to the Harris Campaign quite frequently. Jasmine, if you look at also this number on the Economy Harris is down to trump when his asked, who do you trust more to handle the economy . Trump 52 to 45 . In september. Thats pretty much unchanged from august. So what level of concern are you hearing from there . Harris campaign about that . I mean, i think those numbers are why you continue to hear the Harris Campaign in harris herself, call herself the underdog. Theyre really trying to change as its interesting, because for the last two weeks or so i was asking that campaign whether or not we would hear the Vice President rollout more policy and it was really unclear because i think they were deciding whether or not it was better for them for her to be and businesses and Pennsylvania And Georgia versus her to be on that big policy stage. But then they rolled out that Colomy Speech that really tied her personality and her person to how she would be as present on the economy. And then we of course, saw her on the border on over the weekend as they try to bridge that gap between the numbers that they see between her and trump on the economy and immigration. Its actually something that they feel competent so that they can at least minimize going into november if not kind of so up all the way, but that is why were seeing her on those policies stages because they are trying to get to those americans who dont necessarily trust on the economy, trying to get to those americans who dont necessarily believe that she would be as tough on the border as they would want her yeah. I mean, speaking of the border, i said you were just down in el paso. You look in the numbers on the border. Also, she is still trailing trump on the issue of immigration. Perhaps one reason why she went down to the border on Friday Night and she has changed her messaging really from 2020 when she ran for president. This is from a 2019 debate and look what she said on friday compared to what she said back then if youd be so kind, raise your hand if you think it should be as civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation can we keep their hands up so we could see them i will do more to secure our border to reduce illegal border crossings. If someone does not make an Asylum Request at a legal point of entry. And instead crosses our border unlawfully they will be barred from receiving asylum said what do you make of that . Then its quite a turnaround in messaging. And what were you hearing on the ground . Its a 1e80 and i think its emblematic of the democratic party thats really come to shift on this issue. If we think back to 2019, democrats were racing against each other, the kind of owl progressive one another so if you break leaving, looking back at that stage, its interesting that bidens the one going back and forth because he really benefited from standing aside from a lot of the progressive Litmus Test that were going on at the time harris was doing the opposite. She was trying to win those voters over. And that was i think the aberration from our career, the harris me here on friday sounds a lot like the Attorney General one sounds a lot like the Law Enforcement Official who was with Border Agents even Coming Up before she came to washington, she turned from that when she was running for president in the political incentive. But i think its added a burden right now for her to explain who she is and what she believes to the voters. Now the campaign has tried to make a pitch to that our values havent changed. They can roll out individual policy, but i think there youre still Coming Up against a public that does not have a firm sense of her ideology Joe Biden was a familiar figure to the people so much so Theres Policy was really going in the opposite direction. He was laying out for Progressive Agenda to actually combat the idea that you wouldnt be someone who wouldnt change things going forward. I think harris has a kind of Opposite Problem where people perceive her for asked progressive maybe because of how she was introduced in 2019 until the burden is coming from the center and the opposite side. And i think when were talking about defining her, that is where were really talking about is where from people. The question is not progressive enough, but ishi to progress you know, its not just on the issue of the border on what she made a 1e80 are major shift from a position in the 2019 primary campaign and its a problem for her. And i think she has failed to so far effectively address why the shift and also where she stands now on things like the border and the green new deal and other issues. In speaking of how she wants to find herself in the eyes of voters, of course, Cut Jumping into this lace rate, this race late really has changed. Of course the dynamics of everything. Whats been remarkable is look at the tv ad spending, of course has been so much money, hundreds of millions of dollars spent on air. Our Colleague David Wright broke down the numbers here about democrats versus republicans and how they are spending the as trump allies versus harris allies, 238 Million cars democrats are spending a little bit more, but positive ads, 38 of that have been positive ads from the democratic side on the republican side virtually none have been positive heads for trump. Only 75,000 of 200 212 Million in positive virtually all of them have been negative Dan Balz Negative Campaigning does work though is this strategic mistake in any way for the Harris Campaign to not be going more negative against trump, at least on the airwaves well, i mean, shes playing a lot of defense because theyre playing Offense And Theyve they have as weve been saying, theyre trying to paint her as a dangerous Liberal And Everything trump says comes out of his mouth on that, focuses in that direction both in what she did when going to the border this weekend in the economic speech was designed as weve said, Two Ameliorate that problem. I mean, when she did her economic speech, she described herself as a capitalist as a Free Market protect man, as a person who is pragmatic and a person who is not talking hi there any particular ideology that is a totally different portrait than the Trump Campaign is doing and they know the Harris Campaign that these ads can have an impact and that she has to do something to try to negate the negative impact of those ads. Yeah, its so interesting, well see ultimately i assess how this race turns out whether that was the right move for her. You look at the ad in Battleground States, youll see those ads from harris. Lot of them are very positive. The ads from trump, not so much, but well see which one is a more effective strategy.

Tim walz got to learn how to lie with a straight face and that was House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who has been standing in for fellow minnesotan tim Walz And Debate prep with j. D. Vance, the Headtohead Matchup is now just two days away. Now, sources tell Cnn Vance is reviewing footage of walzs previous speeches in studying his past policies meanwhile, walz is spending the weekend in michigan, hunker down its socalled debate camp. Were Trust Transportation Secretary pete buttigieg, playing the role of vance in mock debates. And according to new reporting from my colleague, isaac dovere, walz has been telling people hes nervous to face off against vance now, while vp debates are not known for having much impact on the ultimate outcome of president ial races. They can certainly bring some memorable moments ohtani, lower tax rates, increased growth. Ronald reagan, how youre Jack Kennedy The Men And Women who served in Law Enforcement it really started to didnt tuesday. That special Event Susan you moderated 22 to the Fly Moment where it was sitting right on Vice President pences had him it realize it. We know and really realized it. But just to remind viewers of just what the debate is to, what to expect here at the debate on the vp rules, therell be no audience. Mics will be muted once will be unmuted, which is different than the president ial debate. Its cbs news, which is hosting the debate can turn off those candidate microphones. But susan, you went you look back at 2020 debate, did it move the needle then . Do we expect this could move the needle now, the fact that what we remember most about that debate was that i got land and then by, the way stayed there. It seems like hes stayed there he or she i guess i dont know what really no adult Social Media picked it up. Yeah. I think i think people watch it on tv right away. The fact that thats what we remember from the last debate tells you how crucial these debates are. You know, its there. They should keep our expectations low, but there are coming for reasons to think that this debate on tuesday is going to be worth watching. One is what we heard Tom Emmer say, lie with a straight face that indicates that j. D. Vance is coming into this as the Attack Dog, a Role And Governor walz has very little experience. I think facing off in this kind of forum against the kind of assault that that we think vance will will will pursue in the race that is as close as this one if it sways just a few thousand votes in pennsylvania or another one of the very important Swing States that could make a difference, or one more thing if it entirely this is Donald Trump do think he wants to do another debate then that could be really significant leading the last word, Advance And Walz is really different than any past, present Vice President s debate. Typically its in the middle, tucked in into the middle of the president ial debates. But you look at how voters view walz versus vance, right now, Walzs Scene is favourability Creep Up just a little bit really within the margin of error, really not a whole lot, still a lot of voters just simply dont know either of the two candidates thats the 33 25 say that theyre not familiar with walz as of now, viewed j. D. Vance, there has been been unfavorability that has increased since he has jumped into the national stage here as the Vp Candidate, about 48 to 57 . Now view him unfavorably which ticket you think that has more to gain or lose on tuesday . I would say that democrats have more to game because the unrealized as undefined nature of both of their candidates is also a ceiling is also a possibility if walzs able to actualize on the interests that is there for democrats in the same way that its true for harris. I think they grow a Vote Share in the way they have to do before november. I mean, j. D. Vance is introduction to this race has not been a particularly pleasant one, right . Picking fights with Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift is not exactly how i would go about introducing myself to america. But these obviously made it kinda a specific place, not just i think to be the Attack Dog for Donald Trump, but to be a kind of cultural warrior for him to j. D. Vance, is a reflection of a Maga Go System thats not just a reflection of Donald Trumps policies, but the ethos of him, and i think thats what also vance represents. I think were going to see kind of two different versions of a Masculinity Fight happening on that stage on tuesday was has presented himself as such a cheerful warrior for harris. And i think who represents a pivot from what democrats have typically we done to defend issues that he has done. So as governor and on the Ticket And Vance is going to try to exploit that. I think were going to see kind of two different versions of what kind of male politicians are right now. And i think thats going to be interesting on a cultural class even more so than the Policy Stuff were going to see on state. Thats so interesting to to point that out. And yes, there will be of course, those attacks as policy attacks, maybe personal attacks as well, just we looked at some of the, what weve been hearing on the Campaign Trail by what how democrats are likely to go after vance, i was likely go after vance here, of course, is false so claims unsubstantiated claims about haitian migrants in ohio eating pets. Im sure well hear about that. Vance has not walked away from that comment. Is childless cat ladies comments as astead was just alluding to as past criticism of trump, also something that can be rife for, something that perhaps walz will bring up. And then what walz, what will vance whole vasco after walz his past remarks about his Military Service republicans have been all over things that he said that didnt quite line up with the record comments about his Familys Fertility Treatment and of course, some of his things hes done as the governor of minnesota. So you talked to the Harris Campaign how they House Walz preparing for that line of attack well, i heard him this weeke. Hes at debate camp. I think that this is particularly on his military record. This is something that he prepped the Harris Campaign for and whether or not they responded to it as well as they could have after he was announces, the Running Mate is one thing, but they knew that those attacks were coming sources told me at the time, this is something that hes faced regularly as hes run for office. But i think the attacks both on his policy is something that as susan pointed out, he is not ready for particularly because a one source told notice that vance was preparing to cut down whilst his fake moderate branding to expose him as a leftist. This probably something that wasnt ever faced in minnesota its going to come really fierce, flee from j. D. Vance because we know that he likes to operate in that zone. I think one thing about vances prep is although theyre attack there prepping Attack Lines on trying to expose him as a leftist walz his, his military record, whats unclear is whether or not hes trying to come off as more relatable particularly when you look at those unfavorables because i think what weve seen in these recent debates is not just policy is important, but also personality is important. Trying to get more people to understand who vances as a person. And its unclear whether or not theyre focused on that, but that is something that the Walz Campaign is focused on being a folksy relatable person which candidate . It would Vp Candidate is, how are they helping or hurting their ticket as walz helping harris as she is making that much of a difference, is hurting her in some ways. What about vance for trump . Well, i mean, you you look at those numbers and you would say that vance is probably hurting trump just because of his unpopularity. But i mean, i think we know from history that Vp Candidates in The End dont make that much difference on the race. I think theres a lot of focus on what vance will do to try to attack walton. What walz will do. I tried to do to attack fans, but theyre there as surrogates for the main candidates. And i think the bigger task is not simply scoring points on one another, but scoring points on the the opposite nominee and those are, those are the key things in a Vice President ial debate. Again, as susan said, we remember almost nothing from these debates, but other than susans a Fabulous Martin but the degree to which they can outline the attack against the other side they may be more success. It feels like the real linchpin here might just be not an electoral impact that this could have impacted the kind of normal versus weird debate. Theyve been having between each other. I think its the point about Vance Landing those attacks he also needs to introduce himself as something more than the comments hes become associated with. And i think what the kind of significance of this might be. A last brand of who gets more of an edge of relating to people as the more normal personable. And i think also in the last three weeks, weve heard a lot from vance of all the kind of conspiracies as its been smoking, its been stoking up, but we havent really heard from governor walz. And so this will be a time for him and thats fine. That is a great point because he has not been across the airways. Vance has sometimes he is got a little further than trump on some issues. Well see how they reintroduce themselves to the american public. And of course, watch tuesday night, the special event, Vice President ial debate simulcast, hosted by cvs, cbs news, but live here at 9 00 p. M.

How do we get there exception offers at your local audi dealer ner, and enjoy a Sp House for 19 i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn its hard to believe, but this week marks one year since Kevin Mccarthy was ousted as speaker of The House, throwing the chamber into disarray. You ever ultimately leading to the ascension of Mike Johnson to leave the chamber since then hes loved The House, but is still very much involved in republican politics. And today, hes back with me now to discuss the latest on the president ial race and republican news, mr. Speaker, thank you for being here. We both have an anniversary. Minds a little sad one year to the show thank you. Got a great job. I mean, it means a lot. Thank you so much. Would always write me with questions, but ill tell you what i admired you because you probably the hardest Working Reporter in The House and you do your research. Well, i appreciate won me over its nice to say. Thank you so much. I want to ask you about just about the president ial race. First and trump on the Campaign Trail yesterday, i want you to weigh in about this line of attack against Kamala Harris in your view of it . Listen Joe Biden became mentally impaired kamala was born that way never you think about it only a mentally disabled person . Could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this her mentally disabled person and questioned her intelligence effective line of attack, why should he focused on Something Else or should do and youre using one little clip there and you dont well, put what was said before, what was set after what he didnt say called her mentally disabled. Thats 100 true. But why is he what was he talking about . It had just come out that under this Biden Harris, remember the responsibility that harris had for the border . They have allowed more than 425,000 illegal aliens who are convicted of a crime. More than 13,000 who are convicted of homicide, murders, 15,000, a Sexual Assault or your childrens safer because of this, what hes trying to make the point here is his frustration that here they are rushing or intelligence hes been doing that consistently throughout well, i would question Anybodys Intelligence that would allow 13,000 murderers into our country and dont know where they are. So you a 15,000 sexual convicted of Sexual Assault in our country. Look i question this Administrations Idea to allow this border the way it is. But you know what . No one in america is safe. There is no city thats not a Border Community now. So youre okay if he goes out and starts Attack Case tried intelligence know what hes questioning here is mandated sample thats what he called well, do you think anybody would be mentally stable that would allow 13,000 murders into your own country, or 15,000 allow 30,000 no lets be honest about that, but your chi were okay with her saying mentally thats thats thats the Bottom Line yet no, the Bottom Line is the policy that allowed 13,000 murders in the country and 15,000 convicted of Sexual Assault that is the question. And i think every american would sit back and say, yeah, im going to say something i normally dont say because you just made my children less safe. You just made my community less safe . And weve seen it time and again in news reports, we have now watched massachusetts far from the sOuthern Border. Governor declare emergency about the sOuthern Border that weve now watch new York City declare that the Outhern Border is one of the greatest crisis. Weve watched his across every week we hear a new report of some illegal Person Somebody maybe maybe raping another child . Yes. If you are in congrats, i was my next thing i was going to point out, but this is the how the republicans who voted as you, how they did in their primaries, there were three who are not coming back to decided to resign or not seek reelection. Bob good lost Barely Trump came out against posed to him as well, but the rest of Them D did when includig your nemesis, who led the charged ours, do matt gates, you want my 45 in their primary, you helped his primary opponent. Did your efforts fall short . I think from our perspective, three are not coming back. I mean, the people get to make the final decision. I just think when it comes to matt gates, i just hope that young women get the justice they deserve. Thats the only thing i will always defend those, especially when theyre under age and youve youve watched whats come out recently. I think at The End of the day, you and i both know why he did what he did trying an under Age Girl and now you g look at the depositions that have recently come out. I think thats all vindicated. Well, he hes being investigated by The House Ethics Committee right now. Doj is now that was what it was all about. Sexual misconduct. Have their long long before i ever took the position is speaker him trying to influence me to stop it and im not going to fall to any pressure like that and im going to allow it to go forward. So he does that investigation is going on. He did send a letter to the Evidence Committee this week denying what you just charged in doing. He said that about whether he had engaged in any sexual activity with anyone under 18. He said the answer to this question is unequivocally. No. He also denied have you doing good using any quote, illicit drugs i mean, do you have any evidence to backup your client . Youre saying the opposite. Can i not making any claims . Im just saying somebody is sitting in jail for 11 years for that was with them. They just had depositions that came out days before were girl who is a junior in High School with drugs and sex, you have venmo payments from matt gates to there you have emails from Matt Gaetz requesting that young girl to come back to the next party to the individuals whos sitting in there. Ill let the courts and ethics decide that. But all the facts there layout, i think young women deserve justice and he denies that just to be clear, he denies all of that. I do want to ask very, very quickly Mike Johnson, the speaker, The House, if you if the republicans keep the majority, should he does he deserve to stay sps any speaker that is able to keep a majority deserves a safe space. And if he loses disease, should it be Republican Leader . Look my, my rule of thumb, if you are a speaker and you lose the majority youre no longer liter. I mean, thats normally have the only people that keep with that or the democrats. But ill tell you a better chance for us to win seats this cycle than the last two cycles. We shall say if that prediction goes through, mr. Speaker. Thank you for coming in, joining me this morning. I appreciate it. Yes well have you back again. Coming up. I spoke to two republicans who want to be the next senate Majority Leader. What and what they told me about how they deal with a president harris, a new details Coming Up Plus One former democrat independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema has stayed mum on whether she will endorsed harris it might if Kamala Harriss view on filibuster.

Republicans take the senate and Kamala Harris wins the presidency. So what would that mean for harris . His agenda especially if theres one or more Supreme Court vacancies i spoke to the two leading candidates for senate Republican Leader. And heres what Senate Gop Whip John Thune told me about his plans you put a national Abortion Ban on the floor for Majority Leader. I dont think theres any any abortion proposal. They get 60 votes on the floor of the united states. Could you see yourself allowing the Supreme Court now, many for harris to be confirmed . Well, i mean, obviously well cross originally come to you know, probably dependent its something that is and thats the advantage of having republican senate in. Your view, would not change the filibuster charged majority on any issue under the Protection Majority of the texas senator john cornyn, also said he didnt think an Abortion Ban could get 60 votes, and that he would absolutely preserve the filibuster and when i asked him if he would allow a Confirmation Vote on a harris supreme Court Nominee Senator cornyn said, quote, it depends. I think it would also depend on who the president nominates and that he wouldnt quote schedule a vote on some wild ride radical nominee, which i know she would love to nominate. My panel is back. I mean, this is significant because this is a scenario that could happen. Republican senate, maybe democratic president will see what happens here and Supreme Court vacancies, just look at the ages of the Supreme Court justices right now, three of them are 70 or older. And theres a lot of rumors about potential retirement as well. This is obviously much different than the way things used to be where the president would get his nominee confirmed no matter if its the senate was controlled by the opposite party you know, motto, its very interesting if harris wins the presidency and republicans hold the senate, she would be the first democratic president in more than 100 years, who would have a republican senate coming into office. And that has employed occasions, not just for the Supreme Court, which is obviously a big ball game, but for all kinds of issues, all of her nominees for cabinet and other judgeships legislative issues that we dont know what she would be able to do working with a Republican Leader in a republican senate. We dont know what her history is. You would have a better idea than anybody about the degree to which she has relationships across the aisle. But its not clear that she had as any yeah. So i think that were we would she would be in for a very difficult time and would be very quickly moving to Executive Orders to try to implement the things that she had talked about in the campaign . Yeah. No question about it. And lets just take a look at where things are in that race for the senate, the competitive senate race. If you look at the 2024 map up here, theres just too republic to states in which democrats have a chance for pickup. Texas and florida and so many states across the board democrats are struggling to hang on those seats. They did get some good news out of ohio. That is central to the fight for the majority here. Theres New York Times Sienna Poll out this morning this weekend saying that sherrod brown, the incumbent democratic senator up for points there. But still, if brown holds on, republicans because were probably still the majority because theyre going to take back West Virginia and well see about montana. Jon tester is struggling. There could be all they needed to pick up his one more thats right. Whats virginia has gone democrats cannot lose another seat. They hold in the senate and hold the senate. Thats one reason you see them now investing in texas, which is frankly kind of a longshot florida, maybe a little more realistic. Rick scott has never won by very much. Their abortion is on the ballot that could be helpful to democrats, but you know, theyve got some new problems through theres some concern among some democrats about maryland. Larry hogan, a pretty its a very blue state, but hes a pretty popular republican there. So democrats have a world of trouble when you look at the u. S. Senate what are you hearing . I mean, i think that thats a correct landscape of the of the of the race. You have to crowds on the defense and the senate. Its almost with a lot of people have kind of given it up. I mean, theyve done pretty well down valid are considering there are some pretty good feelings about their ability to hold a retain The House or take over The House, i think the Open Question becomes, what will happen in the senate. I think for harris, then that shifts what you can do on the agenda front. I think this is part of the reason you see her laying out agenda that may not be as robust, that sub might expect that i think deals with the realities of divided government. And i think this is why were having to seeing them project that they will govern from the center, not just because thats where she might be ideologically, but thatd be reflects the likelihood of whether congressional may also think that that is a reason why you see all these republicans coming out for the Vice President because theyre relying on her to face a bipartisan government because it limits what she can do instead of being able to go so far left, she has to say in the middle yeah, checks and balances always an argument sometimes effective during a campaign and a note on a claim you just heard from former speaker Kevin Mccarthy. But undocumented migrants in the u. S. Have been convicted of crimes. Donald trump made a similar false claim friday and saturday, claiming that statistics are specifically about criminal offenders who enter the u. S. During the Biden Harris administration. But in reality, the figures about offenders who enter the u. S. Over multiple decades including during the trump administration, and some of those individuals are still serving jail in Prison Sentences for their crimes are Coming Up. An incredible milestone.
