Things we were texting. this is a wake-up call for democrats. what joe biden did with the mandates, you think it helped him. but also they saw the polling and what was happening with gavin newsom out in california and they possibly realized that they needed to be stronger with the mandates for masks and for vaccines as well. so this is a message or something that maybe democrats should be repeating around the country that they ve learned from california. i agree with harry that you can t replicate the exact same policies in every state, obviously there s a different baseline but in general one of the clear messages of this is that everywhere democrats can lean into a tougher response to the virus than republicans are offering in whatever state. like in texas you might not argue for a statewide mandate. you would certainly argue against a statewide prohibition on local governments requiring vaccinations or masks. i think what happened here was that as the year began the
Are really starting to lay down those markers. look, it s degrading i think by the day, the trump effect. but of course it hasn t gone away. but nights like tonight hopefully continue to degrade it. for the sake of the country, absolutely. but as a republican hopefully it degrades it so we can get back to opportunities to advance forward and win and broaden our coalition of voters in this country. yeah. you know, the dynamic, though, is the one that you can t win unless you get nominated and republicans in most places can t get nominated if they re seen as anti-trump. that s right. and that is the fundamental problem that they face. jeff is right. i agreed with the comment of the last democrat he mentioned. this was more a warning sign for republicans than necessarily, you know, a sign of great encouragement for democrats. there are these historical barriers and it s a redistricting year in which republicans are going to benefit from redistricting. democrats really start behind i
Specifically latino men. and we see that here too as a warning sign or a to-do item for democrats to work on because gavin newsom had won latino men three years ago in his governor s race by 22 points. that s now down to six points in the exit poll. so it is something to be aware of, especially when you re looking at that battle for control of the house and where that vote may play so critically in some key house races. so there are items here to pay attention to, even in a big democratic victory for democrats moving forward as well. very interesting. david chalian, thank you so much. anderson? yeah, jake, i want to talk to jeff zeleny after hearing from david chalian about how this may impact the midterms. i m wondering what you ve been hearing. anderson, talking to a variety of democrats as we have been for the last several minutes and all evening from the white house to the house and senate committees, there certainly is a sense of confidence and quite frankly a sense of relie
Tough measures on covid wins. it is a good message for democrats going forward. there you have it. he knows all. what does chris call you again? the wizard of odds, my friend. not a good name. better than harry. standby. we have a panel of experts here we will get to them in just minutes on cnn. there is breaking news. cnn is projecting that governor gavin newsom is defeating the attempt to remove him from office. much more straight ahead on cnn s continuing coverage of the recall election. when technology is easier to use. barriers don t stand a chance. that s why we ll stop at nothing to deliver our technology as-a-service.
Middle. that even in a state like california the fact they couldn t find some other candidate or coalesce around another candidate, that trump went full in for elder, that also before the election results even came in they started to go with the big lie again saying that the election was rigged and that elder was saying that if he loses that this means it wasn t a legitimate election, it portends for future elections down the road which is this is going to become the norm now where they constantly say that every election is stolen falsely. she said there was no moderation, bakari, but have they just hitched their wagon to him and they don t know what to do? so the answer is yes. this is donald trump s party. it s going to be donald trump s party. there s no question about that. but i m hesitant about taking these i know we want to jump on tv and take these themes away and what democrats should do and the messaging for democrats, just a month ago people were telling me that eric a
