Supporter. i mean look at what s happening to other local election offices across this country, in hood county, texas election administrator michelle peru was pushed out of her job after an extensive campaign against for failing over in philadelphia, i ll schmidt formally the lone republican on the city s election board, he resigned after drawing trump s ire for debunking the stop the steal conspiracy theory. know there are trump purity test happening local and in statewide election offices all across the country. i want to make one point clear here, the problem is much bigger than donald trump, because republicans spread toxic disinformation about voter fraud long before trump ever came onto the scene. and sadly, even republicans who said the trump lost the 2020, have still worked to undermine americans voting rights. this week in georgia, trump s ....

Barrett became the supreme court justice nominee. it was seated so i think that democrats could ve been a lot more strategic frankly with the timing of, this as opposed to an entire summer going by and it s having several months until midterms. congresswoman the washington post reported this month that conflicts between committee members and how much focus should be on the former president and the role he played in all this. on one hand, democratic congressman stephanie murphy wanted to dedicate more time to the security and intelligence failures that led to the capital breach, congresswoman liz cheney wanted to make the case that trump was ultimately responsible, your thoughts on that divide? look, i think the committee s responsibility is to provide every piece of information that they have in front of them to the american public. and let s not be naive, we ve made a mistake here waiting so long to have these hearings actually and that s why the ....
But who turned to president biden after the trauma and tumult of president trump, hoping that there would be some return to normalcy. now democrats are running into the big headwind with inflation. there s just no question about that. whether they re culpable for it is a much more difficult question, but the historical trend is that the presidents party struggles in the first midterm elections. going into those midterm elections with an inflation of a percent, that is a very tough climb, regardless of ideology. when we come back then out to republicans for a moment. former all boma advisor dan 54 pointed out in his substack last week, we obsess over trump s role in the party we are in danger of diluting ourselves into thinking that the threat of trumpism will go away when he does. what do you think about that, i think the republican party now ....
