Though. i am sure he voted for trump tonight. it is like ted cruz, someone that accepts abuse from trump but then still votes for him. it shows a lack of character. this is a situation where i am stepping up running against a indicted sitting senator as well as someone s first action in congress is to endorse a convicted felon. are you concerned that menendez could take votes away from the democratic nominee in the selection? this being my fourth race as a democrat that took the district twice, in 2020 i was one of seven in the country, outperforming biden by eight points that year. i do not take anything for granted. this is a difficult political climate. i will do everything i can to
Illegals. well, i m sure they do. a lot of lawyers in sacramento. i suspect this will come up and maybe they will find a work-around. why are they doing this in the first place? in an odd way, this is the camel s nose under the tent, trying to normalize criminal aliens. one thing i might note, we had the california republican state party convention and it was noted that republican registration was up in every single county and district in the state and up relative to democrats. as republicans gain ground, democrats are trying to find new group of voters possibly. todd: far left legislators see it is a slippery slope. that is what they want because first jobs, then voting, is that what you are saying, john? absolutely, what other state

Jersey since 1970 i believe that s before you were born. if menendez does run as an independent are you concerned that it could split the vote and give republicans an opportunity to win the seat senator menendez is in court right now because of allegations that he was putting his own personal benefit ahead of what s right for the country and that we re seeing it again. the senate majority is so important, it s what standing in the way of having republicans pushing for a national abortion ban or doing so many other damaging things to our country. including supreme court nominations. so that s something that he s playing with fire in that way. and so you ll look, i m going to do everything i can. i ve been a democrat. won a district, trump won twice in 2020. i was one of only seven democrats in the nation that wanted district trump won that year. so i ve shown that i can outperform the party, outperformed the president. so hopefully i ll be able to continue that again. and look

Cut down the threshold for asylum seekers in this executive order will reporting that its 2,500 a day. the new york times reported when this was going through congress that the level was actually set at 5,000 over excuse me, over the course of the week i seated 5,000 over the course of a week. so this number seems to be lower than that. this 220, 500 a week is my understanding. but this is already also getting criticism from the left and aoc alexandria ocasio-cortez. this at when we broke this news at cnn, she says doing trump impressions isn t how we beat trump. how is this going to be received on the left? i mean, you re already saying right. like you talked about earlier in your show about who s going to show up to the announcement of this executive order, right? even tough district democratic democratic senators are not going to show up because they both see as much as they need
Morning highlighting the difference of approach. now post-conviction between vulnerable, vulnerable republicans running in new york, vulnerable republicans running in california, republican representatives might garcia, michelle steel, david validate you. these are in california of stayed mom in the days since the verdict despite multiple requests to their campaigns for comment, yet mike lawler out of new york, who has kept an arm s distance from trump in some, in some respects for sure, saying this after the conviction, our elections should be decided at the ballot box, not by partisan prosecutors. what do you make of the different approaches? and maybe most importantly now how how hard is it for republicans to navigate that aren t named trump? well, let me give you an example from california with michelle steel who you just named. she s had an incredible grassroots ground game for years. her coming to congress was the result of many years of establishing goodwill in her district she s a prolific fundraiser. she s an example of somebody who understand. she s out on her own by herself, has to hang out there because donald trump s not going to
And jamaal bowman, i should say it s been among the most outspoken and he has definitely has a lot of support on some of the progressive side, but he has raised the ire of other democrats because he is using words like genocide. he was one of the first people to call for a ceasefire and he is now being challenged by somebody who is has the support of pro-israel democrats and republicans yeah. and you know, we can argue all we want about how much the israel-hamas this war is going to end up being a factor in the presidential election. but i think you look at a race that jamaal bowman is currently running and you see an example of a kind of district where that issue may actually end up being incredibly important. there s a ton of money pro-israel money that has already poured in to that race to poured his opponent and the fact that we are seeing this kind of fracture that s pretty unusual with his former
