John Kako News Today

>> well, its worth remembering that senator graham is kind of been sounding this tone for some time. he is one of the closest allies of the former president and that he has talked about just the sheer influence that trump has over the republican party right now. and its something that republicans really ignore at their peril right now. look, just in this past week congressman john kako, one of the ten who voted to impeach the former president said he would be retiring from office after this term...

Matter is this is a state, john and poppy, i dont need to tell you. john, i know you traveled there a lot as i did. that used to be very swingy. it used to go to republicans or democrats depending on the election. in recent times it has been much, much more republican, and now the question is whether or not if a very conservative republican is elected, whether or not that is going to tip the balance towards the democrats in the general election. can you hear that? >> construction. >> constructio...

Sorry, we digress. >> where were we? j.d. vance, thats going to be fascinating to watch. it is true, he diagnosed and explained who trump voters were. and the fact that he didnt think trump was the answer to it is note worthy, and that he deleted it. he realizes now in todays politics thats not an option for him if he wants to get the nomination. >> his story is so important, so compelling and so telling as john said. this is, as someone who talked, its a striking turn of events. dana, there w...
