Alleged victims like dr. ford. its talked about like you have to be in one way or the other. sometimes you can drive down the center, i think, with your position. i want to ask morgan, really quickly -- what gets you to the polls more, do you think? anger, gratitude, joy? if? pure energy? is it like an energizer bunny commercial? you talk about what drives the people actually to the polls. in the polling booth. >> morgan: you are right, the motivators for the midterm are very different from the ...

Anything clear, it is that you have to stand up to the mob. imagine if brett kavanaugh just walked through that crowd, what they would have done? they would have ripped him from limb to limb. if you dont stand up to the mob they will walk all over you. my next guest says that the left continues with his tactics, that you saw in the video, they may not get their big blue wave that they are hoping for come november. joining me now with reaction, mark penn along with monica crowley from the london ...

Politics that a lot of people share, which is that losers vote more than winners. grievance outweighs gratitude. so i wanted to test that theory a little bit, and i can tell you, you know, it seemed impossible that democrats could be more energized for this midterm, but its possible. it turns out its possible. one woman who runs a group out in michigan, fem for dems, told me this was a supersonic burst for her group. she saw is hundreds of people calling up, signing up, getting out there and wan...

For someone who is -- >> do republicans pick up senate seats? >> probably maybe one. because of the structure. >> but it is still an unusual thing. 40 feels like -- i buy it at 20 to 30 that republicans could thin wi then win. bruh w but 40 feels like -- >> there are coattails. and if somebody is really energized to vote say for a woman house candidate, they might be more likely to vote for the democratic candidate for senate. >> you are talking about a wave that will affect every race. remember...

Republican side for the republican narrative to voters right now? >> in that first midterm of a sitting president, the party in power usually loses on average 30 seats. barack obama lost 63 because the party becomes complacent. they think we won back the white house, we dont need to get out and about. these hearings have woken up our voters. they now recognize whats at stake. they are seeing two very clear choices. republicans who are delivering results for the american people, jobs, higher wage...

>> harris: what would you say about rod rosensteins relationship with the president going forward? would be talked about that maybe he would be fired. it is a position where you give the president the information he would need to make that kind of decision, perhaps after the midterm? >> we have to do our due diligence and i think we transmit the information to the president, he has to make that call. i know there is impeachment motion out there. and i think the frustration for congress is as he ...

I mean, it couldnt in some ways be better timing because thou there are 29 days to focus on everyones energy to turning up to vote. and as you know in mid-term elections, there are plenty of votes to win. its just getting the folks out. >> its hard to get people animated, hard to get them to feel theres some stakes in a mid-term, and thats why this kind of confirmation really provides that. >> absolutely. and i feel like even if it was going to sort of go away or settle down the president seems ...

Bringing violence and fear to us. >> this observation, jason. its a striking interview any n which the gop governs is only interested in 47% of the country in which point the structural advantages could a lou to it have supermajorities in congress, and theyre also bank thong enthusiasm gap they relied on midterm after midterm and the existential question for the majority coalition and opposition is whether that materializes on election day. >> right. at this point, chris, it does not appear that...

>> this is about 2024? or more immediately, as julie was saying, is this about the presidential party getting shellacked in the midterm? >> obviously, some of us and myself expected that the party will at least on the house side get shellacked in the midterms. but no one is going to blame the u.n. ambassador for anything that happens politically in any given congressional district. especially given that nikki haley has been such a star for this administration, with so many white house and admini...
