Time last quarter? >> thats right. she is significantly behind where she was in the third quarter. she sent out another plea today. interesting the way she framed it, referring to her 2012 senate race when she was of course an underdog against scott brown and she tried to paint the picture as an underdog again today, telling voters that she needs to raise another couple of million dollars to reach their goal of $20 million for the end of the quarter. interesting to see whats going on. shes had a...

Us a real concern about the validity of our elections, and that is one of their great game plans. >> lets talk about the concern of that validity. thats the fifth element, i believe, which is a poll. how much confidence do you have that your vote in the 2020 presidential election will be counted accurately? when you look at republicans, 41%, democrats 16%, so we do see a difference between democrats and republicans here, daniel. and what might that say? >> i mean, look, it says that there is one...

Impeachment manager decision seems minuscule in comparison to the decision of how the trial is run and that seems to be squarely in the hands of mitch mcconnell and despite nancy pelosis refusal to transmit the articles so i think that will have a much more significant impact on what we see whenever this trial does begin. >> its becoming so clear that its really a statement theyre making more than a deal trying to strike here. daniel, over the weekend, we saw kevin mccarthy saying that he would ...

For impeachment. but we are still at a standoff here. mcconnell would like to see -- and republicans, excuse me, would like to see the articles of impeachment actually transmitted to the senate and right now we dont have a timeline for that actually happening. >> kristen, thank you so much. and lets discuss this now with the experts. we have alex little with us, daniel strauss and josh rogen. alex, the speaker seeming to suggest there are lots of democrats who want to be impeachment managers. ...

Of this among democrats in an election in the past few cycles ive covered. so for the president, he wants to be able to put some wins on the board and be able to say this impeachment trial was essentially just a political move meant to hurt his re-election prospects and, at the same time, really highlight accomplishments. so far, nothing that the president has done has buoyed him above 50% in major approval polls. so in the next 50 days he is going to need something to kaerp h -- carry him to re...
