joining us now is political correspondent, highly prized bell. she broke the story. heidi, take a few reporting? >> nicole, all the way -- given that volume of letters, request that they've gotten from expected incoming gop chairman. they're setting the stage here to file off a subpoena canada. basically a spray of subpoenas early in the new year, which they told me would break with historical precedents, they're being a process for oversight whereby ect, germination you talk about what you're able to share. and negotiate relay, it hasn't taken place here it's just a couple members who are coming and, they'll be the chairman there not yet in the white house and basically what they're trying to do is head up a theater, kicking up a lot of smoke before they've had a chance to respond.
set by one donald trump during his standoff with house democrats during the first two years of his administration. so we wonder if this is a preview of the kind of standoffs would he can expect to see over the next two years. to answer that question for us, joining us now is "politico" correspondent who broke the story. heidi, take us through your reporting. >> the white house is really concerned that given the volume of letters and requests that they've already gotten from expected incoming gop chairmen, that they're really setting the stage here to fire off a subpoena cannon, basically, a spray of subpoenas, early in the new year, which they told me would really break with historical precedent, had there been a process for oversight, whereby you exchange information, you talk about what you're able to share, and negotiate, really, and that hasn't taken place here. this has just been a couple of members of, who are coming in, they're going to be the
>> there was actually applausele for that pronoun.r save lives.av that woman is a school superintendent for the entire state of wisconsin. dent forenow, one of the kids ao depressed, maybe dr. underlayr s and the educators like her l should get their heads out the ibram candy books and focus on first principals. parents of children strugglinge with mental health today are in such a binheald that they're trg to put their kids into specials education just to get the moreer resources for for heeir betterment during covid, heidi, whitney saw herle o daughter, a middle schooler, spiral. e went t i feel like because she wentpanc through the pandemic and she didn't experience a normal junior high, the normal middle numbon experience, she developed the anxiety, the deeps depression, and she didn't helearn she didn't learn how to become a social kid. >> everything got turned on its head. ultimately, of course, her h daughter was hospitalized in a psych wardpitalize, failed pry
yeah, once he gets more onto the stage and trump has a bite at him, it could really change. >> some of the polling in addition to what you just mentioned also indicates that compared to trump he might do better than trump at competing against biden. here is a marquette poll that shows biden would lead trump by ten points if the election were held today. biden versus desantis, that's an even race. that's what makes desanity feel good about his chances, perhaps. again, to heidi's point, very few people know him. at the end of the day, once you get out of the bubble and you're interacting with real people, that starts to affect things. >> without a doubt. he comes into this very strong in the sense that he had a very strong re-election, an incredible re-election in florida. yes, he has coalesced a lot of donors. we have no idea who the republican nominee will be or who the front-runners will be. he starts out in an amiable
president. he prefers to keep his ear buds in, his step away from the vehicle vibes are strong. ron desantis is quite the favorite of the political class in washington, the donor class, so on and so forth. heidi, the voters will decide and we really don't know whether this is going to translate on a national stage. >> right now these profiles also coincide with some polling from reputable republican firms that show that desantis is doing a good job in this very early stage of coalescing the trumpy side of the party along with the traditional, reagan republican side of the party. we all know and we all lived through 2016 when we saw that trump does a great job at brand, mostly branding his opponents. once desantis becomes more of a known quantity, really that's up in the air. right now a lot of these polls also show that people -- a lot of people don't even know who he is or what he's about.
they describe walker as an embarrass. but speaking to his supporters they say they think he is underestimates and the ground game in the state is underestimated. abby? >> thank you so much for the great work on the ground. let's discuss this and more with jeff zeleny, heidi, julie davis of "the new york times" and adam harris. in this race it is now kind of the basics really which is are voters go inch to default to the candidate who is in the opposition party running on this issue of the economy or are they going to focus on this? a cnn poll asks which candidate do you think is well qualified? warnock with a 25-point advantage. has good judgment.
>> this has been a painful year and a painful decade. climate change wreaking havoc on our planet with the most vulnerable suffering to all. our world is on fire. in this crisis will only grow unless our leaders lead. >> carley: emily, meghan markle got out of the suv and then boarded a private jet. she is the climate girl. >> emily: this is pete buttigieg getting the photo of his bike getting out of his suv, did you get the picture? but it strikes me especially in contrast with will and kate. remember that couple spidey, heidi and spencer? they were so thirsty for commercial coverage, so thirsty for likes and the popularity. they immerse themselves in procedures but also market themselves everywhere.
these couples will not be out the way they were the fab 4 at the funeral of the queen, which was very beautiful. look what she did for seven decades? that is not for these people at least look like they are going to be. i don't spend a lot of time thinking about it because, it doesn't affect my world that we have two more hypocrites on the climate change. >> carley: what do you think about that? >> pete: whatever happened to heidi and spencer? >> carley: they are still out there. >> harris: with all the work they do? >> pete: that is true, i don't know. they want to get to net zero by 2030? they have to stop opening their mouth. [laughter] >> carley: pollution. [laughter] >> pete: you know what i mean. and i want to like william and kate because of devotion to the tradition of the monarchy. they are a soft version of clas.
test completed has down syndrome. she says that is discriminatory, and she wanted the judges today to overturn a ruling of last year, which was in support of the government. the three judges did which was in support of the government. the threejudges did not do that. they dismissed her claim. at the heart of this human rights provisions, human rights and entitlements for both people like heidi, but also for women living in great britain, and in the end the judges said they did not believe that the human rights of heidi and others like her living with down syndrome had been contravened. this is not a case about the right to abortion in great britain, it�*s not abortion in great britain, it�*s not a case about the conditions under which a termination could go ahead, what is about is discrimination.
we heard her come out, she embraced her mum, she said, "we�*ve lost", and she cried, but then she gave a statement in which she said she was determined to go on, supporters around her said the fight goes on, and heidi said she felt like the anti—slavery campaigner william wilberforce. it is clear she is determined to continue with this battle, and her solicitor told us the next step for them may be in a year�*s time is the supreme court and if it doesn�*t go their way, the european court. i am very upset not to win again, but i will keep on fighting because we have already informed and changed hearts and minds and changed people�*s opinions about the law. i am very upset that babies with down�*s syndrome can be aborted up to birth. this tells me that i am not valued and of much less value than a person
