The reality is if you re a registered voter in this state and we have 7.9 million of them you re able to vote in this state whether you vote in the election or not. the state of georgia is fascinating politically. you flipped the senate democrats two years ago and democrat rafael warnock received 35,000 votes more votes than herschel walker in the mid-terms. what have you seen on the ground how this reliably red state has turned purple in some respects? well, paula, i have gray hair and i ve been in the state for long time. what people don t realize we re not exactly the most reliably red state. georgia was the last state in the union to elect a republican governor. it was in 2002. so some historical perspective on this i came up politically in the 80s and 90s and we had our teeth kicked in by democrats constantly. so this is going back to a competitive state. but it is surprising to me from outside looking in. it should be surprising president biden won the state by ....
Prisoner exchange. that is my intention. my intention is to get her home. do you really think there s any chance that putin would be willing to play ball this time? well, what i learned from that comment is that the russians haven t been serious up until now in their conversations with the administration to the extent they ve been occurring at all about brittney griner. unfortunately, as i have, you know, said from the beginning of this she s a hostage. she s a hostage of the putin government because she s the most high profile one they have, not one to be let go of lightly. and i think the fact they just transferred her to russian penal colony this week is obviously grim news and doesn t suggest any kind of release is going to be happening anytime soon. agreed. susan glasser, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. the wave turned into a trickle, but former president ....
Longer than other leaders to actually assess each other face-to-face, something that president biden, you know, of course values very much. he s still a believer in personal diplomacy. the floor that s about as low as it gets in terms of setting expectations, but back home it s been a successful mid-term for democrats now that they re projected to hold the senate. does that matter abroad? does this help bolster biden s standing on the world stage? well, i think it does to a certain extent. first of all of course it increases biden s own confidence headed into the g20 meeting. that is undoubtedly the case. it s also the case the world has been undergoing i would say a big case of, you know, super power shock the last few years. it s become clear that the extent of america s internal political problems and also affecting its ability to lead on the world stage. and i think, you know, for many people one of the big questions when you meet with president biden is, you know, well, what s ....
Administration come in like that of donald trump that s going to throw out agreements that the united states had made? and so i think one of those questions that world leaders have is america you know, does it have a national foreign policy or just a partisan foreign policy? so that helps. i also think the other issue on the agenda here is ukraine, and i think that s something president biden is going to bring up with xi if only to point out the u.s. sticks by its friends and russia has not done very well with its territorial war of aggression. speak of russia one world leader that won t be at the g20 summit is of course vladimir putin. earlier this week biden spoke about negotiating brittney griner s release with the russian leader. let s take a listen to what he said. my guess is, my hope is that now that the election is over that mr. putin will be able to discuss with us and be willing to talk more seriously about ....
Yesterday when he was overseas on an extremely important trip. and they said what does it mean this georgia seat, and he said it means more committee assignments. and what that means is more power within the united states senate for democrats as a whole. but it just goes to show you that joe biden, president, vice president, he s really an institutionalist. he really is a senator more than anything. so as we re trying to move forward, as republicans are trying to, you know, get their act together on the hill, can joe biden go in and cut deals with mitch mcconnell, other republicans in this final two years because that s the only way he s going to get anything does is his ability to try to come to the center. and on the committee power you re talking about it also means subpoena power where right, which democrats don t have right now in that 50-50 senate. if there s a house republican and then house republicans in power dueling with senate democrats in terms of investigations, that s ....
