trump hates doing campaigning with the former vice-president held in quiet until now. trump s an plusity, or not endorsing kemp or not endorsing january 6th or both is out in the open. a statement he put out from his spokesman about the former vice-president, quote, mike pence was set to lose the governor s race in 2016 before he was plucked up and political career salvaged, now desperate to not lose relevant, pair chuting into races, the reality is president trump is already 82-3 with his endorsements and nothing stopping him from saving america in 2022 in beyond. the former president has done in a number of states including georgia, when he first endorsed purdue to run against kemp in the primary, governor would not help the president overturn the vote in his state which the president narrowly won and that predictably, earned the governor this. your rhino governor bryan kemp who has been a complete disaster. he sold you out. this guy s a disaster. a complete and tot ....
Then telling people this race is still winnable unless you re unable to read polls, it s clearly not winnable for purdue. it s not likely to force a run-off and it is a reflection on trump no matter what he says, i was struck by the number you read in that statement about 82-3 is his endorsement record, that s not his endorsement record, i don t know what that number is supposed to be but a number of other races he endorsed and candidate lost starting last year and they keep trying to rewrielt the number. trump has this huge wad of money he raszed through donations. has he been spending that for these candidates? almost on except for purdue, coworker reported this week i think it was 2 million overall to purdue, that was a rarity. in general the complaint has been trump is hoarding the money and not doing a lot to help other republicans. so david urban, is it wise, if you re a trump supporter, is it wise for the former president to be getting involved in these races? to be endo ....
You know, you re talking about resources, anderson, i think the president has $180 million i think in the super pac, somewhere in that number, maggie probably knows better but $2 million gets ah week of tv in georgia, it s an expensive media market so if he was all in for david purdue would have burned some of that cash if he was serious about it. you know, it s, put your money where your mouth is i think in that instance. appreciate it, david urban mentioned the pennsylvania primary, get the latest on that specifically, yet undecided republican senate race, dr. mehmet oz who the former president is backing, still holding on to a slim, david mccormick as the votes are being counted. joning us from state capitol, harrisburg, how likely the race head to see a recount? oh, anderson, almost certainly. recount would be automatically triggered if the race is within half a percentage point and the margins here continue to be razor thin, currently dr. oz ....
no, no he, if the president, if he would listen to me or anybody, he would husband those endorsements right, and not really hand them out as freely as he does. they listen, endorsements really matter in these close races like you saw in ohio and in some congressional races, they really can swing a district pretty easily. some races, you know, the president should just sit out like in pennsylvania, i think the president injured his brand in pennsylvania by going in making endorsement, made a lot of people unhappy in the senate race, a lot unhappy in the gocgochb governor s race, for what, you get maybe one person with dr. oz if he does get elected, only need 70% of the republican base in the state of pennsylvania so at what cost? i don t think the juice is worth the squeeze on it some of these. david, if purdue loses, do you think the former president would say the race was rigged? i don t think he ll say the race was rigged, he ll say david purdue ran a bad race. ....
Course, it was around january 6th, in 2021 in really stark terms. i think part of what trump is reacting to is not just what pence is doing in georgia but the fact that pence told my colleague jonathan martin he was not ruling out running in 2024 and i think that s the big thing trump is reacting to. i also want to bring in two political cnn commentators, former obama senior adviser and david urban, former trump campaign strategist. do you think this is the last we ll hear from the former president against trump? against mike pence? excuse me, against mike pence, yeah, sorry. yeah, listen, anderson, it s predictable, look, mike pence got in georgia, i think if the president really wanted to irk him just ignore him. that would be the biggest insult, no insult for president donald trump like him ignoring you. that s what when you know you really ignored him this is ....
