House, i mean how much will their internal squabbling, their infighting matter in terms of actually getting anything done? does it matter if you have the majority if you re fighting amongst yourselves? i think we all are watching this in realtime. kevin mccarthy sounds like the freedom caucus is going to make his life hard from go. look at john boehner, our speaker john boehner and what he had to deal with. less so paul ryan. it seems as the margin shrinks the more you have to pay attention to every section of your conference. i mean i know laura s covered this as well it has been we re already seeing these challenges form, and they re not going to make his life any easier. that s for sure. they have no incentive to. no incentive at all. and clearly control of the senate is very important. and going into these races, though, a lot of people thought president biden was really a liability for the candidates, but how much credit does he deserve for the senate control? ....
Democratic vote and then also when you re thinking about confirmation of judges. president biden being able to move his appointees through, that helps as well. but also i think it s important for the state of georgia. you know, senator warnock and herschel walker have been running their campaigns very differently. they re very different candidates. and really key to senator warnock s re-election argument is that he is willing to work with republicans, right? we are living in a very polarizing time, and we don t hear that a lot. we don t hear candidates center as core to their re-election argument that they want to work with the other party. and so does this work? is he successful? is he able to peel off independents and moderates with this election argument? i think that is a big test. what s interesting too if you really want to get great insight into joe biden, what does joe biden think, who is joe biden, he was asked this question ....
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 ....
