Do not believe this. >> so i think its much more likely that we have a full-blown national crisis in 2024. >> the crisis is unfolding right now. with republicans passing new laws. >> the bill passes. >> that tighten their grip on how elections are run and who counts the votes. they have also been removing, replacing, or demoting election officials who would not endorse donald trumps false allegations of fraud. a dozen states enacted 17 laws last year that paved the way for future election subver...

Pass those voting bills. earlier today, bidens on the hill, making an appeal to the full senate, democratic caucus, during closed-door lunch. biden emerged, sounded confident about the legislations faith. >> i hope we can get this done but, im not sure. one thing for certain, one thing for certain, like every other major civil rights bill that came along, if we missed the first time, we can come back and try a second time. the state legislative bodies continue to change the law, not of who can v...

Two senate democrats but also with the white house. they feel like the white house took too long to go all in on this effort. they havent put enough behind this effort. but white house officials have been abundantly clear now for months. they knew where the senators stood on the filibuster. they knew despite all 50 democrats supporting these sweeping voting rights bills that they did not have the votes to actually advance them in the senate. what they may have is bipartisan votes in the senate t...

Par mill la jayapal (. thank you so much. there is a lot to talk about here. as we mentioned, this week a group of bipartisan senators plan to meet to discuss an overhaul bill, including changes to the electoral count act. would you support a scaled back piece of legislation like that? do you think that is the right approach right now given no movement on joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. >> ayman, it is great to see you. thanks for having me on. i dont think you can begin to think any changes we ...
