Is a swing district that went for trump. when you see the desantis campaign, do you see him running to appeal to those voters who are the kind of voters he needs to win in a general election or do you think by running to trumps right hes helping biden? >> its an odd strategy. normally what happens in a case like this is someone challenging a sitting president. hell say i can win. this person lost. i can win. theyll run to the middle. talking about how they can win some voters who were pushed bac...

I mean the implication, is there not a price to pay for that among conservatives out in the country, swing voters in the country, independents in america? >> its a four seat majority. five seat majority. there have been moderates pushing back, what are we doing? this is crazy stuff. its not helping me to get reelected. thats not the culture of the house republican conference. the culture is to worry about feeding the base all the time. and they dont care about their swing district. people that p...

That. i think the upper has no close. and if we need to have republicans say that. after the primary, i guarantee you the other party is going to be saying this and will cost us the november election. i dont see it as a sham indictment. what he did, i think, assuming all the allegations are true here, i dont think he can deny it. i think i stand on the truth and i still think republicans will win in the long run. people are fearful of the base, fearful of, you know, president trump attacking the...

Reaction to the reaction from the republicans on capitol hill with don bacon, congressman in that swing district in nebraska, republican, an outlier in the house. >> yeah. its not surprising. i watched lindsey graham over the weekend stain himself on national television trying to equate what hillary clinton did and what donald trump did, and he so knows better. you all have covered this very well this morning about the differences between the cases. i think its time we realize that donald trump ...
