vote for trump because a policy specifics. there were broad themes whether it had to do obviously with the wall, with a government government, training a swamp. now people know donald trump by his record, but what has been pretty extraordinary so far as he has spent so much more time talk about 2020 and has about 2024. interestingly enough last week i interviewed ronna mcdaniel the chair of the republican national party, that was a key point she made, that people don't want to relitigate the past. what they are concerned with is their future and what you are going to do for them. and at least so far we've heard precious little from donald trump about that. what is plans would be for a second term. >> very true. chris standby, we have a lot more to talk about. developing right now, a massive
>> i would like to know how you can save us from the co 2 pipeline. >> you know we're working on that. you know we had a plan to totally, it's such a ridiculous situation, isn't it? we had a plan. and we would have instituted that plan and it was all ready. we will get it. if we win, that will be taken care of. that will be one of the easy things we do. >> i mean, that's not really an answer to the question. but that is reminiscent of 2016, isn't it? >> yeah. first of all, people didn't vote for trump because of policy specifics. they were broad themes. whether it had to do with the wall, with big government, with draining the swamp. and of course, people now know, donald trump by his record. what has been pretty extraordinary so far is he has spent so much more time talking
one of those senators joins us to explain why. but first, let's get to the reporting and the policy. joining me now is nbc news senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake with the president in hiroshima, nbc news chief white house correspondent kristen welker, and semafor's washington bureau chief, bengie sarland, garrett, i want to start with the negotiations themselves. where do they stand today? >> reporter: the negotiators have been meeting for hours in a room just below me in the capitol. what we're getting mostly is vaguely positive platitudes from the negotiators themselves and from the speaker. everybody agrees that it's the right people in the room now to negotiate a deal that could both pass a republican-controlled house, find its way through the senate and get signed by president biden. but where they are on the policy specifics is a bit of a mystery by design, you know, on the deals like this, we say it so many times, it's a total cliche, but it is true. you don't have a deal on
republican party still searching for a winning message, especially in general elections, on the abortion issue. nikki haley atoad saying she just might have one. the presidential candidate is in virginia making a policy speech more about tone than policy specifics. haley, the only woman in the race right now, makes this personal peel in the suburbs. >> it's a sensitive topic that deserves our attention. it's one that too many politicians either demagogue or hide from. i won't demagogue or hide from it. >> kylie atwood joins us live from arlington, virginia. an interesting message the. the biggest challenge is to gain traction this the republican primary, but she's trying to speak? a general election mode here. >> reporter: that's exactly right. she called for a constructive
am i naive to think that's at all possible? >> i think about it differently. you're hearing as you pointed out from democrats about this, what are the things you would like to talk to biden about? what are the policy specifics, what does a democratic agenda around the issues look like beyond the dreamers legislation, et cetera. i think for a time they let that be an issue that they can demonize republicans on, we know the history, it's one of the most thankless political efforts to deal with immigration in a comprehensive way and i feel in some ways congress has wanted to stay away from it for that reason. >> any way, call the republicans bluff, do you want the issue or a deal? >> they tried in the bush years, the obama years. they probably could if there were scope for compromise but that's not the signal we're getting from the republican side. >> polite way to put it. listen to the podcast "the assignment" with audie cornish. it's available whenever you get

one-page document. "the post" says it is purposely short on policy specifics, so it is kind of a sub of pan flip but there's discussion of inflation which as we reported has been a problem for the biden administration, and protecting freedom. the specifics if they went beyond the page might be bad politics because much of the gop is running on things that are unpopular, from health care and drug price issues to the backlash, you have also a secret item that was accidentally published. this was a version of the gop blueprint. interesting here they note that the document in that material goes after prescription drug reform and would open the door to something that many oppose, including in the middle and on some of the right, especially among seniors, which is cutting social security and medicare. the new blueprint also does not mention what one of the most prominent trump defenders have been pushing, national abortion ban. that's what lindsey graham has
fit. >> i've talked to the president, he said not being a boss, i've always been an individual whose what i think needs to have it, whether it's viewers of my show, my patients and he agrees with that. >> we asked for specifics, he didn't cite any policy specifics. does david mccormick, former treasury official and hedge fund ceo. he's had the backing of senator ted cruz and former secretary of state mike pompeo. as unexpected as burnet surge has been, there have been surprises in the democratic senate primary as well. connor plan running as a centrist who could win like pennsylvania, lieutenant governor john by double digits in recent polls. >> you have to win independent and moderate republican's, that's not a luxury, it's something you have to be successful. i'm the only candidate in the

than the actual policy specifics. we know critical race theory has not been taught in schools. that's something youngkin has been campaigning on. that's something we have seen glenn youngkin do very well. he's kept him at arm's length though trump has inserted himself in the race many times. youngkin and his team intentionally have not had donald trump show up physically in virginia. >> it's election day, that means this culmination of the campaign, donors. what impact can it have on the future's domestic policies?
