i m katy tur. the midterms did not go so well, for the gop, instead of a red wave, it was a trickle, one that could look more like a single drip if the pressure on george santos wins out. stay tuned on him for a moment. why did republicans don t so poorly? candidate quality was surely in play. denying the election was not exactly a winning strategy. and showing some controversy fatigue. all of the trump daum weighed the party down. but one of the biggest reasons republicans massively underperformed was arguably abortion. the overturning of roe v. wade, a gop dream for decades, was more of a nightmare for the general election. the party paid the price. instead of backing away from what was proven to be a wildly unpopular position, house republicans are running right toward it. today, the first two votes, speaker kevin mccarthy will bring to the floor will be on abortion. the first, protecting so-called pregnancy centers, and the second, protecting babies born alive after late

month, the trial is not until october, and ultimately, he is going to be suffering from a lot of isolation, and i mean not really being able to do anything about it, so what he is doing right mow is trying to look forward, he is doing a lot of writing about what happened over the last couple of months, but not to like relitigate, you know this happened with ftx, this happened with ftx, he is a strategist fundamentally, and i m not saying as a complement, he thinks very strategically about next step, and ultimately he wants to win, and i think he thinks there is a way in which he can win, so when i say gamely, i mean that, you know, he understands that he s in the, he will need a few mer cals the next nine months before this trial kicks off and he is thinking about how do i win wednesday? how do i win thursday? and in a very strategist-ish gamely sort of way. that s a lot of money, for a lot of people, lost a lot of
supporters from warren came over to their side. over across the room from them are the bernie sanders supporters. they are visually it seems clearly the largest group in the room, and they seem to have the most supporters here. and the other two candidates who got any support, warren, has six people, all of those supporters had to realign and steyer had three, and his supporters had to realign as well. what they re going to be doing right mow is recounting the final numbers is to figure out how many bernie got and how many biden got. bernie versus biden at that precinct. we will see what happens and we ll get back to you, lucy. david, dana, i want to alert viewers, these are very early and small numbers and it is indicative of what is going on. it is representing what is happening in that one room. we shouldn t draw any kind of extrapolation as to what is happening statewide. but what is so interesting is
