prison and keeps from going broke. but lucky for trump, manipulating the legal system is something he has a lifetime of experience doing. as politico points out, he s mastered the ability to grind down the legal system to his advantage and now to his political advantage. quote, he has routinely turned what s obviously peril into what s actively fuel. effectively fuel. taki lg rosters of losses and willing them into somhing like wins. if not in a court of law, then in that of public opinion. it has worked and it continues to work. trump, after l, was at one of his weakest points politically until the first of his four arraignments last spring. ever since, his leg jeopardy and his politic viability have done little but go up together. deny, delay, and attack always ayhe victim, never stop undermining the system. he s not fighting the system. it seems sometimes so much as he s using it. he s fund-raising off it, he s
audience. who are they? it varies. i m 45 years old now. we have been number one 18 to 34 the last few months. but we have also been number two, 25 to 54. i think my audience is a diverse group of people. black, white, brown, like i don t think it s just the youth, like some people may think. angela, there is this whole conversation, are black people pulling away from the democratic party. ages 18 to 34 overall, biden not doing so well. he s in the low 40s. trump at 46. black voters. it s still 69/20. i m not sure these numbers are accurate this far oum fraught an election. women voters of color, you can see the numbers there, two-thirds pretty much still support democrats. kamala harris more popular obviously with black voters than he is with voters overall. do you as a political strategist, you have been in this business, been in the political game. are these numbers meaningful or is there a genuine problem
spamburger and then another person on the january 6 committee. we ll get to see the returns early. then, you know, you look at a state like florida, for example, that ends up counting the ballots really quickly. if democrats like val demings in that race against rubio is running well by 9:00, 10:00 in the evening, then democrats are actually having a good night. democrats are not favored in that. but they re making it competitive. that s going to be a good signal for democrats. on the other hand, if you have marco rubio blowing them out, the wind is at the republicans back in the early states. as you mentioned, we re counting for a long, long time. we may get early returns on the east coast. as we start getting to the midwest and to the west of the country, you might take us a few days. they count slowly out there. thank you for this primer. i m sure we ll be talking in the days ahead. donald trump meanwhile and ron

many of these places. if you look at republicans, so say republicans win in every single district that biden, or excuse me, that former president trump had won by 5 points or less, they wouldn t have the majority. but if they had won all of the places that president biden won in five points or less, they would only have a majority of about 11 seats. a very uncomfortable scenario for house republican majority. that means essentially they have to try to go into a territory where biden won by double digits in order to call this a success this year, and that s what the congressional leadership fund that s aligned with house minority leader kevin mccarthy told us, success looks like going into territory biden won with double digits. parties in power tend to lose seats at the midterms. his margin was so slim to begin
