A source close to the white house tells cnn that president trumps advisers are tracking republican senators who potentially could challenge the Election Results saying, and im quoting, i think youd be surprised by how many are willing to actually back the president s efforts. Lets discuss with a former ohio governor, a republican. Cnns senior commentate ovr john kasich. Governor, are you surprised by members of your own party who are still supporting president trumps fight against the results of this election, certified now, approved, authorized by the u. S. Electoral college, 306 electoral votes for biden, 232 for trump . Are you surprised that some republican senators are willing to challenge that . Yeah. I think, wolf, were all kind of surprised. Youve seen mcconnell turn the corner, though, and thats a big deal. And maybe now were even going to get this help for the pandemic to people and to communities. I think hes about had enough of this. My sense is that he has kind of turned the corner and what hes going to do, and what theyre fishing around for is somebody in the senate who may sign on to this procedural move to be coordinated with somebody in the u. S. House on the 6th of january when they count the electoral votes to try to create trouble and question them. And that would force both houses into a separate discussion. Ive never this is something i read the other day. This is not even anything that appeared in the history books. But i think mcconnells probably going to lay down the law. Could a senator decide they wanted to get behind that effort . I suppose its possible. Wheres it going to go . Its going to go nowhere. And all it does is no, its its going to cause a little ruckus but in the end nothings going to happen. 35 days from now biden and harris will be sworn in as president and vice president. Absolutely. Of the united states. But what do you say to Republican House leaders like the minority leader kevin mccarthy, the minority whip steve scalise, who have not yet acknowledged what is a fundamental fact that biden is president elect right now . Well, look, i think theyre damaging the Republican Party clearly but theyre also damaging the country. Weve talked about this many times. We cant have a chunk of the American Public saying the election was stolen, it was not legitimate. And ill tell you one of the effects of this that i found today in a conversation, wolf. And that was when other countries take a look at this fighting many of them say we dont want to be like the united states. It can have a profound effect on the way that the world looks at us. And they always looked at us, as reagan used to say, as a shining city on the hill and now they look inside the congress and everybodys fighting. This has a negative effect on the worlds perception of us. And thats the reality of that. One other thing, wolf, that i think needs to be mentioned and that is were spending so much time focusing on washington. You and i over the years know and have learned that real change comes from where we live to the top. And so we need to start focusing on the local Community Actions that can actually unite republicans and democrats locally to solve a local problem. I mean, there is a reason to be optimistic about 2021. Theres a reason to be optimistic that people can understand that they can be a center of justice, that they can be a help and when they are meeting a vexing problem in a community it can bring them together and end all this fighting. Thats what im going to be pushing for. I have done this for years, but this is what i think our focus ought to be in 2021. Washington . Okay, go do your stuff. But you at home, do something. Do something to make somebody elses life better. Thats how were going to fix america and get back to the shine of this great country, that shining city on a hill. Governor kasich, as usual, thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. Just ahead were going live to moscow for the latest on clarissa wards exclusive investigation into the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader aleksei navalny. Well be right back. Fighting cancer doesnt start here. Not in tubes or bags. Not in scans or scribbles. Fighting cancer doesnt even start in a lab. The truth is, fighting cancer starts with you. Covid has devastated our funding for lifesaving research. Help us help patients. Donate today. Were following up on an exclusive cnn investigation by the Investigative Group together with cnn that uncovered evidence that russias security service, the fsb, formed an elite team specializing in nerve agents that followed Opposition LeaderAlexei Navalny for years. Navalny was poisoned with the toxin novichok in august and very, very nearly died. Our chief International Correspondent clarissa wards in moscow for us with more on the investigation. Clarissa, i understand putin is expected to hold his annual News Conference tomorrow, but there is some official russian reaction to your exclusive reporting that came out today. Tell us what theyre saying. Reporter well, its extraordinary, wolf. It was more than 48 hours of radio silence, and i mean, not a peep, not on russian media, not from the kremlin, not from the fsb. Then finally, we heard today a Little Something from the foreign minister, sergey lavrov. He said about our report, it was funny to him. He said that he had come to expect such things from the west, that it was proof of a lack of ethics, that he also thought it was in contravention of International Legal norms. Not clear exactly what he meant there. And he also said that one should not mistake moscows silence on this issue for any kind of an admission of guilt. What he didnt say, though, wolf, is the question Everyone Wants to know, which is, what is the kremlins position about this team of operatives, and what role did these operatives play in the poisoning of Alexei Navalny . That we havent gotten an answer from. The question is will we hear it tomorrow . Putin will be giving his National Press conference. It can go anywhere from three to five hours on occasion, but the questions are curated in advance and they are heavily cherrypicked. Sadly, i will not be allowed to ask a question. And so, were very much hoping that our colleagues, both russian and western journalists, will make sure that president putin is forced to comment on this story and on these allegations once and for all, wolf. We hope he will be, forced to answer some serious questions. Amazing reporting by you and your team, clarissa. The u. S. Government what about the u. S. Government reaction to your extraordinary reporting . Update us on that. Reporter so, we did hear something, finally, from secretary of state mike pompeo, who said that the u. S. And the white house were some of the first to call out russia for its maligned activity, that theyve demanded an investigation, that they havent seen the results of that yet. But the reality is that the u. S. Has not given a robust response to this, unlike the uk and the eu, which immediately called out this as an assassination attempt, which has levied sanctions against officials in the kremlin and in the fsb. We havent seen that kind of a reaction from the u. S. Yet. We have heard from congressman mike mccall. He came out and said, this is disturbing reporting, we need more answers, we need that investigation to take place in a meaningful and substantive way so that the u. S. Can be on the right side of history, as Alexei Navalny said, he would like to see the u. S. On the right side of history, coming down against chemical weapons and punishing those who participate in this kind of behavior, wolf. That would be really important. I suspect were not going to hear any reaction from president trump, but we shall see. Clarissa, great reporting. Thank you so much for doing all this amazing work for us.
