This report, I believe, does need to be released. Ordinarily when a member of Congress resigns because of a scandal, they usually go away quietly.
I mean, this is a gobsmackingly bad nomination. I mean, I would be less surprised, in the words of Chevy Chase if my face was stapled to the floor. I mean, this is really a bad nomination. I can't imagine any circumstance under which Matt…
There's no path to victory for Kamala Harris without Pennsylvania, and Josh Shapiro, I think adds more value because he was very strong, particularly in the Philadelphia market.
It's unclear whether that message will work. It might. It worked for say, Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania against Doug Mastriano, where Shapiro talked about democracy and threats, the peaceful transfers of power, rule of law, the…
It's clear that Joe Biden is trying to appeal. I think to what he might see as persuadable voters. But it's important to remember that many persuadable voters are somewhat transactional.
They need to move away from that and get serious about negotiating more barriers, more beds, more immigration judges, technology, as Maria said drones.
This asylum system is broken. Most of these people come across the border are economic migrants. They are not legitimate asylum cases.

But, Joe Biden, he ran for president, on being competent. This looks like he was careless, and reckless, or his people were.
I think Speaker McCarthy must put the institutional interests ahead of the partisan interests.
I think it's really terrible that the former President is trying to play, in a House leadership election, or any president.
What did we learn from this midterm election? That Donald Trump's endorsement was problematic, to so many candidates, who lost races that should have been won by Republicans.
The President of the United States and especially former Presidents of the United States should not be involved in that selection process.
I mean, again, why would Kevin McCarthy hand the rope to his opponents with which they could hang him? That's really what he is doing.
I think most Republicans are to the point now, even those who support him who think they need to just turn the page go forward, new face, time to move on, but I don't think Donald Trump is capable of moving on.
Well, look, this midterm really it's about, if you're a Republican, your argument is real simple. You want to put a check and balance on the party in power.
They want Donald Trump to simply shut up and go into hiding between now and the midterm. They want the midterm to be about Joe Biden and the Democrats.
For the former President to go out there and say that all Americans are under attack. Well, that's absurd, because they're not under attack.
Just remember Donald Trump is going to announce for one reason, he wants to freeze the GOP Republican field for 2024.
