Time and on cutrys history bits in sad in many way. But i think its going to be inspiring because were going to coo something that frankly nobodys been able to do for a long time. Donald trump opening his Super Tuesday Victory Speech with some words. Well have much more analysis for youoon the former president s wins in several states and what the results could mean for the future of nikki haleys campaign. Plus, well take a deep look at some of the major congressional races across the country that are now set for november. And well show you President Joe Bidens latest comments on the ceasefire negotiations between israel and hamas. They come as the u. S. Airdrops more desperately needed aid to gaza. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this wednesday, march 6th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for beginning your day with us. And we will start with some of the biggest takeaways from Super Tuesday as millions of americans took to the polls across 16 states and one territory. As expect
they re clearing the house from room to room, that was pretty funny. it was great to be with you. not just house republicans i can t get their act together. senate republicans are a hot mess as well. republicans in both the house and senate in what can be called disarray. after failing the actions. projecting americans strength around the world. joe manchin is here. one day away from the first real case before the supreme court. trying to keep his name on election ballots across country. his actions are coming into question ahead. this critical moment for his legal team trying to keep the court out of politics. four months to the day since the terrorist it talks on the cease-fire proposal that contains crazy demands from hamas. there was a showdown on the senate floor today as republicans failed yet again to agree on a border bill. with what republicans themselves have been demanding. this is one of the most remarkable turns in political history. last fall, senate r
here s the deal. take the debt limit, pass it like you did three, four times, when trump was president, and he increased the whole national debt by 40%. republicans would argue that donald trump, at the very least, they d say, played ball. you re not willing to play ball. play ball? play ball. he ballooned the debt, he created unemployment look, when i came to office, we had incredibly high unemployment. we were in a situation where we had very little movement on anything going on. look, look at the employment right now. just today, 250,000 new jobs. highest participation in 75 years of women in the job market. lowest unemployment rate for african americans. things are moving. as i said, you have a good economic recovery story. this is a very volatile congress. there were members of congress that might be okay with a stifel dane, because they think it could hurt you more politically given that, are you prepared to invoke the 14th amendment and blow through the debt ce

good evening from new york. welcome back to all in. i m chris hayes. in four days the republican majority will be sworn in, and that includes george santos, the freshman congressman-elect from new york, a man who flipped a democratic seat in a biden plus eight district and has subsequently been caught fabricating much of his resume. from his past claims of jewish heritage to his job history, education, reporters are now scrutinizing everything about santos, understandably. especially his apparent sudden wealth. how he went from earning $55,000 in 2020 to loaning his campaign over $700,000 just two years later. and how he spent that campaign money. new york times reporting today that santos spent an unusually high amount on hotels and trips across the country especially for a candidate relatively new to politics. $30,000 on hotels, $40,000 on air fare, $14,000 on car services. government affairs lobbyists telling the times, quote, usually a congressional candidates tries s
