General election campaign. it is general election campaign. it is interesting general election campaign. it 3 interesting because you are voting to elect people to go to westminster yet there is the performance of the devolved assembly which is really at the forefront of motor mines. we have the worst health waiting lists anywhere in the uk, the budget is really stretched. a lot of departments are facing cuts and that is feeding in or bleeding into voter decisions when they come and vote and we also have the hangover from brexit. the hardline tuv are running on a number of constituencies hoping to almost give the dup are bloody nose for the brexiteer which they are opposed to. we talked about scotland and independence. every election in northern ireland been seen as a pre run to any future border poll where people take the votes, the percentage of votes, devey them up and see how many unionists and nationalists voted and how that might be in a future referendum. we also have a growing
Respect before she goes about trying to be like but they have are out here was interesting on the verdict by another choice lean into the verdict or stay at she went further than her boss talking about the cheater biden mostly said was at a fundraiser and days ago the first pole we have credible pole since the verdict was out trump is still winning georgia by 5 points and independence are more likely to vote for him rather than less some bad news for trump voters are saying we are leaning into trump not to you. america loves the outlaw that s why i hold onto my traps. i m looking at you. your not supposed to hold onto them that pot stuff myspace you off actually for that not to come up at all it s a comedy supposed to be a fun vibe you
That op ed piece is a former law clerk for samuel alito. she writes justice alito may or may not be biased in favor of the former president. but the flag flying upside down in his home in the past unequivocally telegraphs reasonable questions about his impartiality in cases involving trump. these questions separate and apart from the crisis in confidence that such conduct may raise. the gravity of the implications of justice alito s refusal to recuse himself cannot be understated. at stake is not only the independence of the court itself, but also its credibility and its role as a protecter of our constitutional democracy. joining us now is susan sullivan. an assistant professor of political science at temple

The process of in exchanging information with the trump campaign so they can be vetted before potentially for the nomination. steve contorno. thank you so much for the reporting. john all right, with us now, former arkansas governor, former republican presidential candidate esa hutchinson, governor, thanks so much for being with us. you spent a sizable chunk of your adult life as a prosecutor. if i m not mistaken. so what is it like for you to hear? a republican presidential candidate, the nominee basically running or not running away from the notion of getting elected to prosecute your political foes well it s something very unusual for me to hear as a former prosecutor. i served in the justice department and anybody who s been a part of the justice department family values the independence values, the fact that you go after wrongdoing and not based upon partisan policy but ticks. and so this is foreign to our system of justice. and you re seeing it
Being border security is trying to shore it up. but it s about policy, it s about the right direction for our country and the highly regulatory environment that he is creating. president biden is creating is problematic for growth in our country obviously, i have challenges with donald trump now being a convicted felon, but also the character that i think is important. the white house, i don t see in him, so i represent many americans. it s in a quandary. so just what would be the most persuasive argument not for you personally, but you think for some of these haley republicans from president biden well, i think that s where you get to the vice presidential selection. you need to have a vp match with donald trump that will expand his base, that will reach out and appeal to independence. i don t know that he s going to do that, but that i do believe the vp selection can make a difference to the haley supporters and republicans and then secondly, it s a calmness. it s it s are we
Which covers is, regardless of which way it came down and veterans of government service also accepted this as did independence and local conservative figures. and national democrats. it is a long tradition, including the leaders here across two parties on your screen to respect the role of awe and verdicts. before i even report on something you may have heard about, how the d.c. republicans are melting down, also trying to burn down this process. trying to shred this tradition, i want to begin not with that freak out but with the context of this nonpartisan tradition itself the prosecution and the defense made their arguments. the juries were properly instructed and they rendered a verdict. once the jury has spoken, that is how our system works. the jury made the decision. although, you know, there may
Convention. this past weekend and i saw delegates from all over the commonwealth come together and universally put down differences and, start working together to win elections. and i think that s what s happening all across the nation i also believe that there are large numbers of independence who will in fact choose donald trump over joe biden. and then finally, and i think this is really important in virginia. we have seen real success from common sense policies literally growing jobs and standing up for law enforcement and standing for excellence in education. and we re seeing just tremendous results. and virginians are now saying, wait a minute, common sense has a place. i like, i like strong leadership and i m gonna vote for donald trump and i think this is what we re going to see all during the fall, particularly as the records of the two administrations are placed right next door to one another. and we can t, we can t forget the fact that trump did build a
Trump s conviction, not what republicans are doing. this is one way in which democrats often do not rise to the same communications challenge that republicans do and i think there are a lot of reasons for that. fragmented coalition and an unwillingness to lie shamelessly, but there does need to be an effort to make sure this sticks to voters right now. one of the reasons to be charitable and i think it is important, something we wrestled with, too. there is an asymmetry because you don t want to just view the entire judicial system as a partisan cudgel. you want to invest in the idea of its independence and respecting the process. i really liked your column, because i really feel like i am losing my mind. we were all here in 2016 with the chance of lock her up. when the form president
Americans that the rule of law is not fair and that is permanently damaging to our democracy and probably the worst thing he has done. for people who don t understand, it is worth articulating assorted independence of them attorney general. to insinuate he s pulling the strings in full county and manhattan and for people to understand how it functions, can you explain the relationship or lack thereof between someone like fani willis and merrick garland? merrick garland is the highest law enforcement agent in the federal system. he s the attorney general of the u.s. and part of the executive branch. we have state systems and state laws. he makes sure that federal laws are enforced. what trump was charged with in new york are state laws not
