eclipse, how solar eclipses have captivated washington over the years >> it'll be night. >> birds will chirp cricket will crick is fantastic >> inside politics. best reporting from inside the corridors of power starts now good morning >> welcome inside politics sunday, i'm on a raja. today marks six months is hamas carried out its brutal attacks against israel, taking hundreds of hostages and now after six months of war, a humanitarian crisis in gaza and a turning point for president biden back home. the war has blown a hole in biden's coalition, threatening to tank his chances at reelection this november. and now after tens of thousands of palestinian debts and israel's airstrike this past week, they killed seven world central asia kitchen aid workers, biden is ramping up the pressure on israel, like never before. but in this critical election year, will that be enough to satisfy the

thousands of democratic voters who cast protest votes in the primary in states that will determine november's election. or are biden's actions or too little too late for that and today, we're watching whether israel opens up a key crossing into northern gaza. that's the erez crossing you see they're allowing humanitarian aid shipments directly into the territory. and this comes just days after biden demand and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu improve the humanitarian in situation. and back in immediate ceasefire. the white house says, us policy on gaza hinges on what israel does now. but as the war grinds on, biden remains under significant political pressure at home, as does netanyahu in israel how cnn's nic robertson is live in southern israel near the gaza border. and nic, there have been developments in the war over the weekend. is that an indication at all that this pressure campaign on netanyahu is working yeah, it's certainly some indications. in some ways, look, we were expecting the

erez border crossing to open for aid to go into the northern part of gaza. very significant. that's where the biggest level of starvation is among palestinians, 300,000 of them estimated their prime minister's office at indicated that that border crossing would lead a through. today. we're not seeing any indication that something entirely different, but perhaps even more significant in terms of the signaling of israel to change its footing in terms of the war inside of gaza, the 98th division, which at one time was the biggest division ever in israel's history fighting in khan yunis in the center of the center of gaza since december. the idf has just announced they have pulled out those ground forces. you're looking behind me here, plasma tias can zoom in a little bit and see those tanks were just been taken a look at them. there are dozens scores of tanks, an armored fighting vehicles. they literally pulled out of khan yunis overnight or assign and what the idf is saying is this

effectively marking an end of ground operations in gaza in their current form? the caveat there. listen, it's just the machine gun face. we're not far from gaza right now. the caveat there is that significant forces still remain in the north of gaza. the hundred and 62nd division is there then that whole brigade is there. and this net seen corridor that people talk about that separates the north of gaza from the south of gaza. the idf has created the one that so much of hamas is focused on in the negotiations right now to get people displaced from the south back to the law that is remains intact for the idf huge explosion there and the distance detonation bomb possibly. inside gaza, not clear, but i think the message here is that the idf has made a significant pull back from khan yunis. it doesn't mean

operations are over in gaza by any stretch. and really they're keeping a big force in the north here. the jet hi there overhead now. so the question would be, what about their planned ground operation in rafah? no word on that from the idf. but when you consider this weekend, you have the side sitting down to negotiate about the ceasefire. this dynamic, your width, witnessing behind me, that that changes what's what's on the table right now? >> nic robertson, israel near the erez crossing. thank you. stay safe. thank you for reporting on the ground. we are grateful >> all right. let's break this all down with cnn's melanie zanona zolan kanno-youngs of the new york times, and the washington post. leigh ann caldwell. good morning to you all. thanks for being here >> obviously, we have seen this shift in tone from the president. the question is, how much of the town impacting things and how his party will deal with it? and this is a real challenge for him he had this message to netanyahu and they had that phone call thursday called overall humanitarian situation

unacceptable and said that there needs to be changes because us policy, we're only dictate how israel acts going forward. but the us is still supplying arms to israel. have we really seen any change inside the white house in his hand in its policy towards israel, or what is happening right now behind the scenes it seems limited to rhetoric thus far. for the most part, i mean, look going back to the state of the union, you remember what? and the president was caught on that hot mic moment and he was saying indicating, look, there could be a come to jesus moment between him and netanyahu from all of our reporting that call that they had earlier this week, was a bit more tense. it comes after months where this relationship was steadily getting even more contentious as you had the number of civilian deaths in gaza continued to rise as there were challenges in getting humanitarian aid into gaza, despite the present binds please, to netanyahu to ensure that that aid came in. but

you're right. look, at this point, rhetoric only goes so far i mean, there's they're going to face challenges and actually convincing the party that he's doing enough policy-wise when you are still sending not just day, but to be clear weapons to israel for this campaign. so we'll have to see if the actions follow-up to match the tense rhetoric that in your hearing, the frustration on the left about just that as rhetoric so far and that's clearly not enough for major influential voices, including senator bernie sanders one day, i'm angry >> the >> president is angry at netanyahu. the next is very angry. the next is very, very angry. >> so what you cannot >> continue to talk about your worries about humanitarian situation in gaza and then give net, you know, that $10 billion or more bombs, you cannot do that. that is hypocritical and this is why it matters

politically for the president. do we talk about democratic primary results as a dane county, wisconsin 83% of part southern part of wisconsin, madison, the greatest college down as part of that >> within dane county >> 83% voted for biden in this past weeks, democratic primary, 15% voted on instructed by needs to do much better there to carry that stayed come november and it also it was in michigan. also michigan and wisconsin >> both of them >> both states, real concerns over his coalition and his handling of this. how do you see that? brian >> yeah. so there's a faction of this uninstructed of the organization to not vote for biden in the primaries that are intent on making sure that biden does not win in november, we'll see if that changes when it's just biden versus trump and how this policy, where the war stands at that point and how the policies play out. >> but this is

>> a huge challenge for biden also because dane county, this is the biden base >> and what >> biden needs to do at the very least, if he wants to win, is turnout. his base. and if you don't, if you have a base problem, he has a major problem and so he has a lot of work to do his campaign, insists that over the course of the month, when it becomes a binary choice between biden and trump that those people will come back home and will not stay at home. and we'll go out and vote >> but >> we'll see yeah, i look inviting his heading to madison this week to talk about student loans and loan forgiveness, trying to win back those college voters, young voters, which we seem paul's really shift towards trump in recent as we'll see that actually happens in november. that's obviously the warning sign. here's another interesting data point that has come up about how voters view trump versus biden in the handling of the israel-hamas war this is in

swing-state, so wall street journal poll that came out this past week biden is losing to trump across the board in all these states about who could handle this situation better. that is among registered voters in these critical swing states. and the question is, how is trump? what is trump's strategy? >> this is what he said on the hugh hewitt show this past week >> they're losing the pr war. they're losing it big. but they've got to finish what they started and they've got to finish it fast. and we have to get on with life >> trump as an arctic, ice has not articulated a policy, right? >> and that might be what we're seeing reflected in the polls is that he really has not taken a position or articulated what he's proposal would be for handling of the war handling the hostage situation, and for trump is an interesting situation because he has been an ally of netanyahu hello, throughout his presidency, but he's also taken this really anti-war america first stance on the campaign trail. but for

now, i think he is content to be able to sit back and not have to take a position and just blame biden for the turmoil in the middle east. >> this seems to also be a little bit of you're gonna blame the person who was in office at this point. there always a bit of an advantage to pretty much not be in the white house and criticized the current policy without articulating actually what you would do, which we're seeing play out here in terms of the political implications as well for biden, just moving forward, look, we also still have negotiations going on on a temporary safe ceasefire-for-ho stages, but haven't seen a deal that yet. and now what happens even with this tense rhetoric that we're seeing from the white house, what happens if there is an on-the-ground invasion into rafah? well, that could completely changed the dynamic. here is one of the big questions is what will happen to aid to israel. this has been stalled for months in congress over the back-and-forth over how to move ahead. and there has been a real shift among democrats about conditions, whether the place conditions on israel which could make it even more difficult. and you're seeing even some of biden's allies call for conditions and

others not so sure you should have present condition any aid to israel going forward >> i am always concerned when we talk about conditioning aid, especially to an ally especially as an important ally, israel is, i just have to see what those conditions are. >> if benjamin netanyahu prime minister were to order the idf into rafah at scale and make no provision for civilians or for humanitarian aid that i would vote to condition aid to israel. i think what the president did in his >> conversation with the prime minister yesterday starts to move and israel did take actions, but we need to see a lot more. >> i mean, this is going to be the challenge as they tried to pass all this massive foreign aid package. now, democrats aren't there. were, they were six months ago >> absolutely when this passed the senate, it was just bernie sanders who voted against it because there weren't any conditions on aid as far as democrats are concerned now, this is still an open question in the house. you had a faction of the most progressive members

of the democratic caucus who had always been critical of the israel aid, but that is now growing. and this is presenting even greater challenges for passing this aid package with ukraine tied to it. maybe there could be, there could be some sort of coalition that moves this forward. but we also don't know what you're johnson is going to do, which i'm sure will talk about later in the show, but things are growing trickier and trickier. no question about it. >> all right. donald trump racked up tens of millions of dollars during the megadonor fundraising last night, but he still scrambling to catch up to biden's huge money. lee, what this means for his campaign? >> get your viewing glasses, readings is ready and experience so rare, it won't happen again for another two decades. joint c and for live coverage around the country of the spectacle in the skies. eclipse across america, live one on cnn. we're streaming on macs.

>> space shuttle columbia, the final flight premieres tonight at nine on cnn in just eight days, former president trump will make history, but not for a reason. he's happy about, he'll be a criminal defendant on trial first-time ever for a former president as he tries to fend off felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records to keep quiet, an an extramarital affair with an adult film actress ahead of the 2016 elections. but it's not something that has heard his support with deep-pocketed republicans, at least not yet. billionaires flocked to florida last night for a glitzy fundraiser to bolster trump's campaign coffers and perhaps even help with those legal fees. these were just some of the megadonors support in cash to help finance trump's campaign and pay for some of those legal fees. donors were invited to give upwards of $824,600 per person person. trump's campaign said it raised a whopping 50.5 million last night alone. now, know reporters were allowed and trump didn't take any

questions, but he did address the media before heading in. >> it's. going to be a very spectacular evening and people are just wanting rich people want people wanted everybody wants change so like trump isn't scrambling to catch up to biden his at a pretty aggressive money operations so far, just to show >> viewers on things, worse thing stands on the money chase, which is where this campaign, as at this moment, biden has significant advantage in terms of cash on hand that's a key number on your right. there are 192 million and for biden compared to $93 million for trump trump is going to close the gap, maybe not as much as biden. i mean, how much does that really going to matter? because there's gobs of money from outside groups and every single the airwaves going to be flooded in all these key battleground states, no matter what so we'll see how much it matters. but being having half as much money as biden is not a good thing, especially when some of the money that trump raises is

being diverted to his legal fees to pay off lawyers and defend himself in these criminal cases. but i was in nevada this week. first story and one thing that was evidenced is that biden has staffers in nevada. he has a campaign infrastructure in nevada and trump does not. yet they >> have some office space embedded with >> a nevada republican party, which is absolutely dysfunctional and that state right now and so the the money will matter if he cannot get a ground operation up and running by november. that's effective and that gets people out to vote. yeah. i mean, that's going to be the key question whether or not the organization really does matter. but as this is all going down, trump of course, but saif points get brings back the legal issues himself. i mean, he was on social media or we can railing against the judge who had eventually imposed a gag order on him in this hush money case, and he went on to explain that he is like, yes, nelson mandela. he compared them

something's partisan hack wants me to put in the clink for speaking, the avi opening obvious truth, that part of nag of course, is the judge in the case. i will gladly become a modern date. nelson mandela, it will be my grade >> honore your reaction >> quite the comparison to somebody that you know, them to tell us mendell there, i think it's it's emblematic of how trump has tried to basically use these cases in term the courtroom basically effectively into his own trump rallies to galvanize as bayes to attack democrats and ease each of these cases for what we've seen for years now saying that it's a witch on same system as against him in a way making a comparison to two international civil rights leaders like nelson mandela. i don't know how effective that will be for that cause. i do think it's interesting that on the other side, two you are we're seeing the biden campaign's store to use rhetoric that i honestly didn't expect them to use, say

a year ago when there was a bit more distancing from trump's cases. now, you're starting to see the president himself poking at is trump's debt problems, his financial woes here is legal fees going back to the grid darned i've seen him on the campaign trail also talking even add student loan debt relief events saying, hey, i do know somebody that's suffering from some debt issues right now. so you're starting to see also on the flip side, democrats and the biden campaign start to attack him over some of these cases. >> and look, this all comes is that trump has been the nominee for several weeks. the presumptive nominee for several weeks, but he is still having problems in ese primaries because these nikki haley voters, even after trump haley, haley's dropped out are still voting for her in these key swing states. look just arizona. and wisconsin. it is will be central to the next presidency than this race here, 18% voted d for haley. nerves ae 13% in wisconsin. i mean, we talked about biden's problems

in the last segment. >> trump >> has his own issues in the base. >> yeah, as a problem, he has a massive problem with independence and there is this stubborn block of voters who have state after state been voting for nikki haley even after she dropped out of the race? there's a question though, of if and how trump is going to try to reach out to those voters. he has made no effort to reconcile with nikki haley. his team feels like the party is unified and lining up behind him. so perhaps he isn't going to try to reach out to those types of voters, but they do that at their own risk. because when you break down those numbers, they're coming from very critical demographic picks and swing blocks that will determine who has the naacp president. >> it of course one of the big issues, of course, will be abortion. trump teased a big announcement this week when we make it on abortion, you sort of set it in an i've with reporters were asking about is that there's going to be something coming. he's sorted all over the place on this issue just take a listen on how trump has kinda gone back and forth on the issue of abortion since during the campaign >> i mean, just shanked is

willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban. you support that. you think that what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. >> now i happen to be >> for the exceptions, like ronald reagan with the life of the mother rape, incest with you talk five or six weeks, a lot of women don't know if they're pregnant in five or six weeks, the number of weeks now, people are agreeing on 15. and i'm thinking in terms of that, and it'll come out to something that's very reasonable. but people are really given hard-liners are agreeing seems to be 15 weeks, seems to be a number that people are agreeing at, but i'll make that announcement at the appropriate time. >> and this is one of the one >> issue that voters given biden an advantage over trump on, will it make a difference in november? >> and biden is out with a new ad attacking trump for his position and blaming trump for the abortion rights being taken away from it. millions of women across the country. we're going to see this is going to be a theme over and over again on

behalf of biden democrats heading into the election. and they sense trump's and republicans vulnerability. >> i mean, there's look before and pass election cycles will work again. we'll say all right, up next exclusive details on the intense planning underway by democrats to take back the house and there are $186 million for investment >> we need four seats to win back the majority. every single one of those is gonna be trench warfare >> my fellow citizens you need to be better when new, not normal, it makes me want you to be dead. so be better at being normal >> good streaming exclusively on macs >> i'll be honest by the end of the day, i floors. >> but who has the time to clean? >> that's why i love my swiffer wet jet. it's a quick and easy way to get my force clean, wet jet absorbs and logs ghraieb deep inside. look at that swiffer wet yet so would

job. >> now that stock x.com >> i'm caitlin paul lands in washington and this is cnn house democrats are aiming for just four more seats in the chamber to reclaim the majority next year. and they're high-spending. super pac is preparared to spend the most it ever has to pick those up in a

cnn exclusive, the main house democratic super pac called the house majority pac, gave me a first look at what its leaders see. is our path back to power in the house there are enormous spending plan to pull it off. the longeing $186 million tv and digital ad by nearly 60 media markets with a major focus on the currently republican-held districts were joe biden won in 2020 democrats are also defending a number of open seats, as well as five districts. trump carried in the last election. >> but the race galli, that both parties acknowledged, there are so few competitive districts because of gerrymandering. so the next majority could very well be razor thin, no matter who is in charge. and as a house majority pac president mike smith told me this past week, that means the battle for the house will be an absolutely bruising affair. >> we are laying down the ground. lingnan, the marker today. we're announcing $186 million in tv digital reservations are largest ever nearly double what we did in the past across about 40 to 50

districts spread out around the country. it's laying on the marker, it's focused on everything from our incumbents, but it's incredibly offensive, knowing that we have to pick up seats to win back the house, their 16 districts right now that president biden, one that both can certainly have theirs only five the trouble and the democrats currently have. that's kind of the marker. >> the >> majority of those 16 or focus in two states, new york and california. i think what you'll see a lot will be focused on reproductive freedom we've seen it runs successfully in blue districts, blue states, red states, the kentucky governor 24 seats to win back the majority. that's it. it's >> very, it's a very tough four seats. every single one of those is gonna be trench warfare. we're going to do invest a lot of money, hence the, uh, hundred and 86 million, but there's a clear path to doing it. >> and the fight for the houses out a knife and a nice edge. just look at the cook political reports 2024, house ratings. the way that this they ranked as 22 toss-up states and republicans, the moment slightly favorite according to cook. and we'll see if the ads make a difference. look at the targets, the targets of ad spending lot of these are in

biden held districts across the country are seeing from everywhere from california to new york, some of these that are an asterix on your screen there represent democrats are defending democrats in those same districts, but there are possible, there's some other ones as well. they're looking at ryan zinke in montana believing the senate race there could help them then there's the fats are understood to spent a lot of money to defend democratic held seats in these trump districts everywhere from alaska, they plan to spend later. they have not spent yet there but also in, in washington state isn't ohio, michig, virginia. it open seat there. >> this is going to be quite a battle, melanie, you're on the hill every single day along with leanne and me. how do you see this playing out in kindred republicans even hold on despite all of this money that's been important. >> it's going to be a knife fight. i think both parties are going into this with the expectation that it can go either way, republicans feel good, but they also know that it only takes a few seats for democrats to win. and democrats are going in hard this figure,

this number that you cited, it's even more impressive given the fact that there's eliminated number of seats because of gerrymandering and redistricting that are actually in play. so there's gonna be a ton of money coming in. there's going to be campaigns about abortion gen. they're going to, democrats are going to try to tie everything to what's happening nationally with donald trump. so it's going to be a really, really tough fight. yeah. and you mentioned abortion. this is there are a ballot initiatives. some of these states where there are major fights that are happening right now for the house and democrats told them well, juice, the turnout, you're also in the halls. i mean, how confident are democrats that they can take back? now let's look, it's possible, given as melanie was saying that this is given there so few districts that republicans could stay in control here. and of course, a lot of his will be dictated by the presidential race. >> yeah, there's a lot of things that are going to come into play. portion the ballot initiatives, the presidential, the states that have senate races as well. but one thing that republicans are excited

about is that a lot of these these toss-up seats are in blue states california, oregon, new york, where they think that democratic policies are going to help there republican candidates, voters will push back against those democratic policies with a republican candidates in these blue states. i mean, this is going, it's like heading into 2022 where democratic source that i spoke to the day of the election said, look, a lot of these seats are going to be decided by a point or two. and we don't know which way it's going to go and it feels like this is going to be the same thing in 2024 and here, mike smith told me that the biden will be a value add. he believes to democrats here they'll have to run ahead of biden in these districts that outperformance that's the senate situation. the senate and the house. yeah, that's right. i mean, that's that's interesting because going back to the midterms, just this past mid-term cycle, i remember a lot of concern from democrats that actually the sagging approval ratings of president

biden would be detrimental. and some of these in some races as well. so that's what makes these investments even more important as well as the issues that they'll highlight. there's an overall concern house races often reflective of the top of the ticket as well. and what's going on with the presidential elections. so ads that are articulating in defending against attacks on immigration and biden's immigration status policies as well as highlighting abortion rights. that's going be important thinkers such as the immigration point what they told me it was that they believe that the decision by the republicans to scuttle that bipartisan border security deal will be part of their ad campaign going forward to attack republicans on their handling of i tried to turn the issue around. we'll see if that works, but there's also just the ongoing republican few, the paddling in the house. now speaker johnson is coming back to session. this week with having to make major decisions on how to move forward on aid to ukraine in facing the threat to his speakership. we don't know what marjorie taylor

greene is going to do. she could call for a vote seeking his ouster. we don't know what democrats will do. will they tried to save him? what are you hearing is the how? well whether johnson can hang on. >> yeah. there's gonna be a pivotal stretch for the speaker. he's going to try to find a way to fund ukraine that is a way that can also speak, save his speakership, which is a really difficult thing to do. the feeling right now though, is that there will be enough democrats and republicans who join hands and table or kill this motion if it does come up, but if you're johnson, you can't take anything for chance because he has a razor-thin majority green is just so unpredictable and yes, democrats say that if he does the right thing on ukraine, they'd be willing to save him, but that's really open for interpretation. and if he loads up the ukraine package with hardline border provisions or just something that's really partisan. they might not be there in the cme that is such a good point that's why he's got some major decisions. we'll be watching them very closely when they returned to washington all right. coming up, we hit the campaign trail in deep blue, maryland, which was once viewed as a cake walk for democrats how suddenly one of the most competitive races in the country, banks to a

could actually decide the next senate majority after all, president biden won that state by >> more than 30 points four years ago. but then former gop governor larry hogan made a last second decision to jump into that race, adding to the democrats already very difficult map steep climb to keep control of the senate. melanie zanona, who's here with me today, hit the campaign trail and maryland where democrats are engaged in an intense primary battle in scrambling to stave off a major defeat i'm going to the united states senate tried to knock some heads together and straighten things out. >> let's surprising senate battle brewing in deep blue maryland, the national party from leader schumer on down, everybody's taking this very, very serious estate president biden carried by over 30 points. now suddenly competitive with popular former republican governor three hogan jumping into the race and running as an anti-trump republican. >> i still don't have any burning desire to be a senator. i wasn't looking for a title i don't need a job, but i'm just

so frustrated with how broken our political system is. >> a democrats warn hogan could hand republicans in senate majority. they remain divided over from to pick in the may 14 primary congressman david trone, the founder of the beverage retailer total wine and more, is touting his business background and bipartisan record. he also has the backing of house democratic leadership, including leader hakeem jeffries, and a massive financial advantage. >> we're absolutely the front runner and i think we're going to be able to bring it home and then after that, take larry hogan down. >> but drone has come under scrutiny for what he says was the accidental use of a racial slur during a recent congressional hearing, we're talking talking about republican tax cuts. and use the word bugaboo drones as he accidentally mispronounced that term, resulting in one that was offensive. we apologized. he immediately once he went back and realize we had said that he's up against county executive angela also brooks, who is focused on turning out grassroots support securing a source mints for most of the maryland congressional

delegation to people who have endorsed me have done so because they know both of us and they have decided that i have the best experience and the best track record delivered for maryland. >> she's just one of two black women who are now running to serve in the united states senate. positioning herself is a champion for change. i think it's important to >> america to have people of every gender and every race and every background. >> the race has become one of the most expensive in the country. largely fueled by trump's personal wealth as he plows 23 million of his own money into the race, we're going to spend what it takes a prospect that could make him more competitive in november. but one has democratic opponent has a sale. >> it goes against what we expect in terms of democracy. it's gross. and what i know is that money can't buy maryland. >> the challenge for hogan breaking with the leader of his party without alienating republican voters. >> i'm like 70% of the rest of the people on america that do not believe that joe biden nor donald trump or the best possible candidates who represented with abortion rights on the ballot in

maryland, this ball was rights in their hogan is facing questions about his record as governor. >> i'm still >> undecided, which includes vetoing a bill that would have expanded access to abortion in the state i shop at stepped it. >> thank goodness. so it's not a huge issue, however, i don't ever want that to be threaten, you know, so it does kind of way heavily hogan says he would not support a federal abortion ban, but dodge, when asked whether he'd vote to codify roe v. >> wade, i'm not going to talk about speculation over specific wording. i'm a specific bill, but we'll we'll talk about them. during the election. >> all is democrats vowed to nationalize the race and tie hogan to the most extreme elements of his party. >> so larry hogan >> thinks that he can run with some distance from donald trump because he's said he's not going to vote for him in november. luck with that melanie zero, that's not great report. thanks for that. it's such an interesting rates a contentious primary and dividing the democrats, chris

van hollen is supporting angela alsobrooks and hakeem jeffries supporting david trone. what was your biggest takeaway from this real well in talking to republicans, they thought larry hogan was the only republican who had any chance of winning maryland. and that is why you had mitch mcconnell republican leaders and even former president george w bush working on hogan for years they made direct sales pitches to get him to run in the race and he finally did. but look, he still views himself as the underdog. he recognizes that this is a huge challenge, needs to win pretty much all of republicans and independents and then 30% of democrats. so he knows this is an uphill climb, especially with trump at the top of the ticket but democrats know that this could actually get very competitive for them and they do not want have to spend money here. >> they will probably have to and look the question about the anti-trump vote and is interested in your piece, how he described he's not gonna vote for either biden or trump. that's a question that i've been to the top republican campaign committee chairman and some democrats, about how that could play out >> he's been >> crosswise with trump. is that going to be problem for trump? look, larry hogan

expresses so well the voice of maryland, he understands maryland he represents maryland's so well as governor and he'll represent maryland very well. me and i say sending it'd be the voice for maryland, not for any political party. >> do you think that his opposition >> to trump, it will help him with swing voters? would democratic voters? >> i don't think it's gonna make any difference at all because i think they recognize the fact that he organized with the republicans. so he'll be another voice for the republicans and allow the extreme agenda >> democrats are trying to nationalize the race >> the republicans >> not so much, it's gonna be tough in an election year not to nationalize them i didn't presidential legend >> absolutely. and democrats are going to say control of the senate could very well decide, determined, be determined by a maryland. we'll see if that argument works with voters. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. but this is a huge coup to get larry hogan to run in this race to act, to actually put this state on the map that could very easily determine control

>> i mean, larry hogan also had a quote in your piece saying that that he's frustrated with the current makeup of senate. i mean, you may be able to win. we'll see in maryland with an anti-trump message. but if he's frustrated now, even if he gets two senate, you imagine how frustrating good he's got. yeah, i mean, you do wonder, i mean, this race makes me think like the republican sort of identity that larry hogan says that he represents. that is a shrinking population, especially when it comes to congress. yeah, we look in the anti-trump republicans, there are fewer and fewer mitt romney is leaving well, there be anyone else coming forward, we'll see. >> thanks. >> melanie >> all right. next eclipse fever, fever, rubbing the country. how presidents have taken in the spectacular suppose solar events over the past year the greatest danger
