if you talk to people around the world, talk to people in europe, they're astonished and panicked and anxiety written about the fact that the money that is going to be spent to purchase these weapons for ukraine is spent in the united states. it is money for our defense industrial base. we send the money to u.s. states to build the kind of shells and a munitions needed by the ukrainians and ship it over there, so we're cutting the ukrainians loose and cutting the cord on funding that actually supports u.s. jobs and industry, albeit in the defense industry, for what? so that we can align ourselves with putin. not only does it have the u.s. retreating from his role in the world and standing up for democracy like ukraine that are under threat, it also, again, signaling a choice. the united states is moving into this other column. the putin column. it's not just isolationism, it's making a choice about which side we're on in this continued balance and struggle between democracy and

autocracy. that has people around the world much more exercised than in washington, where it seems like this is just another political game. it's another government shutdown, or another fight over the debt ceiling. know, if we don't deliver this money to ukraine, they will lose territory. they will lose people. they will lose momentum on the front line of the biggest war in europe since world war ii. and our politics can't seem to process that. >> it's a real statement of priorities on behalf of the united states of america. thank you so much for your time and thoughts tonight, really appreciate it. that is our show for the evening, now it's time for last word with lauren, good evening, lawrence. >> at evening, alex. i was listening to discussion and i have some concerns about the way we use the word strongman, because i fear it can sound just too good to too many voters who think, well isn't the president of the united states supposed to be a strong man? it's a term we've been using for decades in a way that

everyone using it collectively understood, i'm not sure, i'm not sure it communicates what we would like it to communicate. >> you are so right, we should call it fascist fan boys. that's the essence of what's happening. >> i don't have a suggestion, i'm feeling awkward about that term, that's all. that's where i am on it. >> duly noted, thank you for the feedback, have a great show. >> thank you. between now and tuesday, november 5th, the two most important stories we will be covering at this hour are the multiple prosecutions of criminal defendant donald trump, and the presidential election. there are, of course, obviously hugely important stories going on at the same time around the world, in ukraine, in gaza and israel, and elsewhere around the world, in africa and asia, south america. but, the presidential election is the most important of all of those stories, because what

happens in all of those other stories around the world after november 5th largely depends on who wins the election. if donald trump wins the election, the israeli government and the israeli military will be free to, as donald trump puts it, finish the job in gaza. those are trumps words. finish the job. he means kill as many people as you want to. donald trump will not try to achieve a cease-fire the way president biden has been working to achieve a cease- fire. and in ukraine, if donald trump wins the election, vladimir putin will be free to continue to kill ukrainians in his imperialistic march to take over ukraine without any resistance at all from the american president. and if donald trump is elected president, the story of criminal defendant trump in effect disappears. donald trump would be able to end both federal prosecutions

against him by special prosecutor jack smith, who would be instantly fired by donald trump, and the two state prosecutions against him in new york and georgia would be forced into at least a four year delay until donald trump is no longer president. if donald trump wins, then justice loses. if donald trump wins, human decency loses. if donald trump wins, then all is lost. and as of tonight, most american voters know that. joe biden is going to win millions more votes than donald trump, but this is the country where you can come in second with the voters and still become president. still win. thanks to the perversion of democracy the founders called the electoral college. and as of tonight, not enough people in a handful of so- called battleground states who will decide this election

understand the stakes of this election. not enough people in those few states yet understand what they will lose if donald trump wins. and so, we begin tonight with what is now the most important of those stories that we will be covering this year, because it will determine the outcome of the rest of those stories. we begin with the presidential election. last night's presidential primaries, joe biden was the first to win enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination for president. hours later, trump won enough delegates to secure the republican nomination for president. and today, president biden continued his campaigning in battleground states, appearing at the opening of the biden/harris wisconsin coordinated campaign headquarters in milwaukee. the milwaukee journal sentinel notes, it's the first milwaukee

campaign base for a democratic presidential nominee in at least 20 years. the biden/harris campaign is opening 43 other campaign offices in wisconsin, all over the state. hears president biden speaking at the wisconsin campaign headquarters in milwaukee today. >> our freedoms are at stake. they really are at stake, not a joke. the right to choose, the right to be able to determine whether you're going to get the vote, how we vote. it's all in your hands. and folks like you all across the country, because this is how i won the first time i ran, this is how we're going to win again. a lot of you helped me in 2020 going and we make sure he was a loser. and he is a loser. and we're going to make sure that happens again, right? >> at a campaign event in milwaukee, the president

explained what his infrastructure bill means for daily life. >> wider sidewalks for children's walking to school, safer bike lanes for residents and visitors. dedicated bus lanes to get to work faster. new trees to provide shade, modern infrastructure to prevent sewage from flowing into the milwaukee river and lake michigan. these are life-changing improvements. we're going to make it easier to restore black communities in the north and latino communities in the south to access the job, school, entertainment. opportunities in the city, a central hub from watching the milwaukee bucks to play to attending milwaukee area technical college. my present his or talked about infrastructure week for four years and didn't get a single thing done, not one. ron johnson, every republican in congress voted against the inflation reduction act which is helping fund these problems projects, and he wants to repeal it. >> president biden explained some of what is at stake on the presidential ballot.

>> just this week, donald trump said cuts to social security and medicare are on the table. instead of cutting social security and medicare to give tax breaks to the super wealthy i'm going to protect and strengthen to make the wealthy begin to pay their fair share. >> keep this number in mind. joe biden won georgia by just 11,779 votes. in 2020. and on election day, yesterday in georgia, nikki haley won almost 20,000 votes, all of those voters knew that nikki haley had already dropped out of the presidential campaign, but still, yesterday on election day, 20,000 voters went to the polls in georgia to vote in the presidential primary for nikki haley against donald trump. that is a sign of potential weakness for donald trump in november.

nikki haley's total vote in georgia was 77,000, which includes early votes cast before nikki haley dropped out of the presidential campaign. today, the biden/harris campaign released this statement. haley's voters continue to make it crystal clear that donald trump is not building a coalition that can win in november. suburban, moderate, and independent voters are rejecting trumps divisive rhetoric and extreme policies, and it's no surprise. donald trump is running on the same extreme agenda that has cost republicans election after election, threatening democracy, overturning roe, passing a national abortion ban, repealing the affordable care act, and cutting medicare and social security. meeting of our discussion tonight is quentin forks, principal deputy campaign manager for the biden/harris re- election campaign. he was the winning campaign manager for democratic senator raphael warnock in georgia.

thank you very much for joining us tonight from biden/harris campaign headquarters. in wilmington. i want to start with what we just identified in georgia, since you are the highest level expert we can possibly engage on winning the state of georgia. that 20,000 votes cast on election day, on the actual election day for a candidate, nikki haley, who the voters know is no longer running for president, where the winning margin in that state was just over 11,000 votes, how do you interpret that haley vote? >> first of all, thank you for having me again, it's always great to be with you. look him about last night in georgia bears out exec and without campaign has been saying this entire republican primary, is that donald trump is failing to consolidate his base and win over swing and independent moderate voters.

these voters are protesting donald trump and saying to the republican party that they won't vote for him because of the extremism, and he continues to double down on it, and our campaign is making sure that we communicate with these voters and letting them know that anybody that cares about donald trump's extreme agenda on women's reproductive freedoms, on the affordable care act, on gutting social security and medicare, that they have a home and that they can be involved in this campaign. it's, again, a continuation of the story that we have been pointing out for a very long time, that donald trump simply does not have the consolidated base to win in a general election. >> i want to listen to what representative elana omar said yesterday to those voters who are casting the uncommitted votes in the democratic presidential primary. let's listen to this. >> democracy is on the line. we are facing down fascism, and i personally know what my life felt like, having trump as the president of this country, and i know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people

around this country and around the world. we have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again. the uncommitted have been very clear. they want a change in policy, and we've seen that within three days, you had the vice president using the word cease- fire. we now have the president saying there is a redline. >> as you know, congresswoman omar is talking about a kind of progress that can feel too small and too gradual especially to relatively new voters. who've never really had this issue, in mind at presidential, on presidential ballots, when she's talking about, now we've gotten the biden administration talking cease-fire, we've got them talking redlines. how do you want to present the case to those voters for voting to joe biden over donald trump? >> there really is no

comparison, here. one thing i want to thank for her comments, because we know how deeply this issue is and personal this issue is to a lot of voters. the president has tried to put his administration in a position to talk to these voters and listen, our campaign has tried to talk to these voters and engage these voters, but there is no comparison that the threat that donald trump poses to democracy. the president wants the same thing as a lot of these individuals who are casting uncommitted votes. he wants long and lasting peace in the middle east for both israel and gaza, and our campaign is going to continue to communicate that. a lot of the diplomatic work to get there is done behind the scenes, and that starkly a difference between president biden and donald trump as well is that of rear leader knows that it takes tact and skill to lead america through a time like this, and that's what president biden is doing. but there is a litany of things that we can talk about when it comes to why donald trump is

not prepared to be president of the united states. look at nato saying we should pull out of nato and let do what he wants to do, he's calling to dictators and hanging out with them because he wants to be one. he's pledging to gut social security, medicare, aca, women's reproductive freedoms, bragging about his. there's no comparison but our campaign is not taking any voters for granted and we will put in the work to make sure everybody knows that donald trump is a threat to democracy and that they have a place to call home in this campaign. >> on social security and medicare, donald trump very easily and comfortably said when asked about cutting them, in order to help the deficit issue, donald trump said, absolutely, there's a lot you can do. that campaign is running away from that now, saying he doesn't want to do that. he's certainly supported by a party that has historically always wanted to and attempted to cut social security and medicare. there's never been a republican congress or a republican president who wasn't aimed at

that. >> he's saying the quiet part out loud, and he absolutely meant it regardless of what his campaign is trying to do to walk it back, and it is time that we strengthen social security and medicare and make sure the wealthy are paying their fair share as president biden is pledging to do. donald trump is only in this race for himself. is in this race to get out of trouble, he's in his race to enact revenge on his political enemies and retribution. he said so himself, he says he wants to be a dictator on day one. we have to continue to pointing these things out but it is reckless, donald trump is not concerned about americans. donald trump is concerned about himself and that's starkly the contrast that our campaign is going to continue to work diligently to make over the next several months. >> biden/harris deputy campaign manager, thank you very much for joining us tonight. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. joining us now is ben winkler, chairman of the democratic party in wisconsin. he was with president biden today, and when ben talks

wisconsin, i just listen. tell me what we need to know about this historic and important democratic campaign investment in wisconsin. >> president biden was in wisconsin, i think it was his sixth visit today. and kamala harris has been here five times, we are a constant focus because wisconsin is the tipping point state. it's the state that tipped for trump, the presidential election in 2016, for biden in 2020. four of the last six presidential campaigns emerged as a victory here came down to less than one percentage point. the biden/harris administration knows this, and they are investing with their presence, with campaign resources and ensuring that this presidency and administration delivers for wisconsin voters. as they are doing nationwide. today, president biden was here announcing a $35 million investment in the six street corridor in milwaukee to ensure

that where an interest rate cut through and divided communities decades ago, they're now going to rebuild in a way that brings communities together. then he came over to the campaign headquarters, and opened up and connected with dozens of cheering volunteers and supporters, had conversations, took selfies with them, the office that will be the heart of the statewide operation to make sure we both turn out and persuade every possible biden/harris voter, every voter who doesn't want a trump dictatorship starting in 2025. the center for this campaign is in milwaukee, because republicans have targeted milwaukee for voter suppression. they've bragged about it, and we're going to fight back. >> as you know, there is a tension around this campaign. i remember in press presidential campaigns in the pre-trump era, people would say to me what's going to happen? as if i knew that i would tell them i don't know. and now, what i hear from

people is, tell me it's going to be okay, tell me it's going to be okay. it's very different from the feelings that you had on democrat versus republican presidential campaigns in the past. it's about, are we going to be okay, is the country going to be okay? which means, is donald trump going to lose? and, what do you say when people ask you that in a state where it's a 1% one way or the other outcome? >> i say that wisconsin, over and over, this is true in all the closest battleground states, it will come down to the margin of effort. in other words, the work that people do, volunteers who want to help us, you can sign up to volunteer or donate anywhere in the country and people in wisconsin knocking on doors, making those phone calls, chipping in will determine the outcome. it will come down to two or three votes per precinct around our state. the good thing about a small margin like that is that you

can make the difference yourself. watching this right now, you can play the role in flipping a precinct that helps flip the state that tips the entire electoral college. that is an extraordinary privilege, it's the power of being in a genuine democracy, and it's using or lose it. this is the moment. if you care about our democracy, fight for it. the polls say in wisconsin it is tied, this could absolutely come down to a minuscule margin that volunteers, after we win the election and joe biden wins another term and we can all exhale, volunteers in his election will be able to look in the mirror and say to themselves, i did this. that's what we want for everyone to feel in this race. >> thank you very much for giving us that guidance. i know there's a lot of voters out there in states like california, new york, massachusetts, other places where they are out of the electoral college game. they're actually absolutely going to joe biden and the only wish they could help some row in those states that have that burden in privilege and

responsibility in the end, of choosing a president. that guidance is very helpful beyond wisconsin, thank you very much. >> they can call, they can join our virtual phone banks. we welcome folks from out of state, you'll call democrats and remind them to vote. we don't want out-of-state voters doing persuasion, but we can absolutely use all the volunteers anywhere in the country, because there are 3.28 million votes in 2020, who knows how many we'll need this time. we want help from anyone who can help, because it's going to be all hands on deck to win this thing. >> thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. coming up today, georgia judge scott mcafee dismissed three of the 13 charges against donald trump on a technicality and invited the attorney to deliver a new indictment on those same charges that were dismissed. a new indictment that would comply with george's technical requirements eric andrew wiseman and former district

you can sa today, fulton county judge scott mcafee dismissed three of the 13 counts that donald trump is facing in district attorney election interference case against trump for his efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in georgia. one of the counts against donald trump that was dismissed involves his phone call urging georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger to find him the votes that he needed to win in georgia. in a nine page ruling today, judge mcafee said that the counts that he dismissed contain all the essential elements of the crimes, but failed to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, the underlying felony solicited. they do not give the defendants

enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the defendants could have violated the constitution's and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds of distinct ways. joining our discussion now is gwen keyes, former district attorney of dekalb county georgia, also alexander wiseman, former chief of the criminal he is the coauthor of the trump indictments, the historical charging documents with commentary. gwen, please guide us through this, and have you ever had a dismissal against you as a district attorney in georgia based on this kind of georgia technicality. i hate using that phrase, technicality since it's all technicalities, but, it certainly wasn't, the judge wasn't dismissing the charges

as unimportant, or not really alleging a crime, but it was this very technical thing that i'd love to get your expert reading of. >> first and foremost, i think one of the most important things to remember is that the ricoh count, count number one, survived, including the specific acts that were alleged to underlie the ricoh count, even as a relates to the six counts that the judge effectively dismissed, and they all related to the solicitation of violating one of the elected officials oaths of office, whether was the secretary of state, members of the georgia legislature, or the governor. but, what this does, and what a special demurrer does is basically say that the indictment does not give the defendants enough detail to know how to prepare their defense. and i think, here, the key thing for this judge was it was

not alleged with sufficient specificity what portions of the georgia constitution and the u.s. constitution might have been violated. again, every officer, whether it's a secretary of state, members of the legislature or the governor all take an oath, and in that old they have to uphold the georgia constitution and the u.s. constitution, and the judge is basically saying that, in order to establish the solicitation of violation of an oath of office, the d.a. should have been more specific. this obviously is not good news for the d.a.s office, unfortunately it is something that happens to even the best prosecutors, but the judge outlined two different ways that the d.a. could proceed, whether to appeal, or to re-indict to cure these deficiencies. >> andrew, this turns on the specifics of georgia law, but it doesn't seem to change the general thrust of the

prosecution. there seems to be an available option, here, to just go forward with what you have because, for example, the evidence about the phone call to brad raffensperger will still be presented as incriminating evidence in the case. >> it's really worth noting just how small a decision this is. it sounds like the judge dismissed cases, but, he has a footnote where he's like, you could go forward as you said and go forward without these counts, you could appeal, or he says it's really simple to go back because it's more detail, and he makes an illusion to federal law that says, in the federal system, this would just be dealt with by giving a bill of particulars, meaning all you would do is the government would give more information to the defense, they wouldn't need to actually re-indict those particulars, and he says this is a really easy thing to do. so he, in his own words in a footnote says, this is a really

small issue, so the d.a. has three ways she can proceed. i would suspect in more of an expert at this, i would suspect i would want to go back and correct this and put in more details, because that way you give a jury a little bit more in terms of options, and it really shouldn't slow the case down, because these are the same allegations, as glenn has said, that are already in the case and are going to be going forward in the ricoh case. it's a really small decision in many ways, it just reads bigger than it seems. >> the decision everyone had been waiting for was this judges decision on whether district attorney funny willis can remain on the case after the hearing on the question of removing her from the case. are there any clues in the issuance of this decision that are an indicator of how the judge is leaning any other decision? >> it's always difficult to

prejudge what a judge may decide, but i think there are several folks out there who see this as a bellwether that the judge is not going to disqualify the district attorney's office. he's outlined very specifically as andrew indicated some of the options she may have to go forward. so there are several folks that may see this as a win some, lose some week whereas, while the d.a. may have not gotten the decision she wanted on these motions, that hopefully she'll still be able to retain the case overall, and not be disqualified. >> gwen keyes and andrew wiseman, thank you for engaging in what is so far the single most technical point we have had to get into, in the ongoing saga of defendant trump. coming up, donald trump's favorite federal judge, who he appointed, eileen mercedes

stomach tomorrow, donald trump's favorite judge, judge aileen mercedes cannon, appointed by donald trump, will hear arguments from special prosecutor jack smith steam and donald trump's terminal defense lawyers over donald trump's attempts to have the classified documents case dismissed. the trump lawyers filed their

dismissal requests last month based on the presidential records act, and what they call the unconstitutional vagueness in the espionage act, saying that the charges are built on undoubtedly the most confusing and complex of all the federal espionage statutes. special prosecutor jack smith responded in a series of filings last week, writing, trumps claims rest on three fundamental errors, all of which reflect his view that, as a former president, the nation's laws and principles of accountability that govern every other citizen do not apply to him. today, donald trump's criminal defense team filed their final reply to jack smith, arguing that the national archives referral of the case was politically motivated and driven by the biden administration as a political weapon against donald trump.

donald trump is expected to attend the hearing, which will begin tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. in fort pierce, florida. joining our discussion now is joyce vance, former u.s. attorney and professor at the university of alabama school of law. she is a co-host of the podcast hashtag sisters-in-law. and msnbc legal analyst andrew wiseman is still with us in our discussion. what are you expecting to hear tomorrow? >> i think we'll hear exactly what you're talking about, lawrence. this notion that trump has of the imperial presidency, that lasts not just while he's in office but afterwards, and would reach these really ridiculous results. for instance, the president could take the nations classified sequence and, purely through the magical device of saying that they're now his personal papers, would be able to walk away from the white house with them without facing any criminal consequences. that's the caliber of argument that we should be prepared for

tomorrow. >> andrew wiseman, of course, the most important voice in the room will be judge cannon. always on the edge of our seats, wondering what she's going to say, what position she's going to take next. >> yes. so, i am going to be listening for reversible error. this is a judge who has shown that she is not terribly experienced at these issues, and she has certainly made rulings that have gotten her into a heap of trouble in a circuit that joyce knows well from having practiced there for many years. i also am going to be listening for the irony that will be dripping from the fact that you're going to have the former president, who had said when he took office that he was going to be beefing up these laws, because he took national security and these kinds of documents so seriously, that was in the wake of having defeated hillary clinton, and

his lambasting her with having held onto these documents at her home and saying i'm going to really beef these up, but now when the shoe is on the other foot, he's going to be saying, these are two vague for me to actually be prosecuted under the same statutes that i was touting just a few years ago when i was president. >> joyce, will we get any indication tomorrow about the progress of the case? how quickly it might move forward from this point? >> quickly is not what i'm expecting to hear tomorrow. judge cannon is still sitting on a stack of motions that she needs to rule on. i noticed interestingly that yesterday, there was a docket entry, it's under seal that suggests that she has ruled on at least some of the issues involving the use of classified information at trial, so there's that piece. but the big issue here, lawrence, what we are all

waiting for is to see whether she will change her trial date. it's currently set for may, no one believes that she's going to trial in may, so the real issue is what sort of real estate she wants to occupy on the calendars that will call for scheduling of the various criminal trials. >> and andrew, how does the presidential immunity case before the argument before the supreme court affect this case? so much of the conduct, here, donald trump's conduct after he left the presidency. absolutely, i have analogized this to his argument on presidential immunity to a bank robber who is charged with robbing a bank with a gun saying, i can't be charged with that because i legally possessed the gun. his argument is that i was immune, and i could take the documents from the white house to mar-a-lago, but that's not

what he's charged with. he's charged with retaining them and then obstructing justice at mar-a-lago. the real issue is the one that joyce has put her finger on which is the lollygagging that's going on, and that she can easily just sit on these, and eat up time, and really never schedule this case for trial. before the election, which i really do think is her goal, is how to do that without actually committing reversible error. >> and joyce, it is unusual to read pleadings like this and important cases where literally one side just doesn't make any sense at all. the public should know that that's a very unusual situation. >> you know, i think that that's right. andrew will tell you this, too, there is no absolute right and wrong in these cases. that's why they end up in court, these issues are sophisticated, there are a lot of nuances, there are good arguments to be made on both

sides. what's so striking especially in these reply briefs that the trump lawyers filed today, is that there are not good arguments being made. they are briefs that are based on lots of specious assumptions, things like alleging that trump designated all of these classified materials as his personal records without reckoning that the fact that that really can happen. you can't just say, i'm the president so i'm walking out of here with the nuclear codes. and this is such a really frightening level of argumentation, but as you point out, the real issue here is how will judge cannon react, because she has taken specious arguments in the past that trump made very seriously, and it was only when they got to the 11th circuit that she was told, you can't do this. you have to follow the law. >> andrew, what, what's the appealability of any decision that the judge might make on

dismissal? >> if she dismisses, that is something that the government can appeal, and on immunity, as we've seen, that's not, she hasn't scheduled that yet, but that is one that we've seen in the d.c. case can be used to appeal. however, a frivolous immunity argument is one that, even if judge cannon rules in favor of donald trump, if the court of appeals says, you know what, this is a frivolous argument, they do not have to stay the case. but just to be clear, that takes time and the clock is ticking. >> andrew wiseman, joyce vance, thank you so much for joining our discussion. >> you're welcome. coming up, when joe biden be donald trump in the 2020 election and made him a loser, joe biden did that with a 24 point lead among young voters. some of those young voters are now running for office themselves. you'll meet some of them, next.

and young voters will obviously be a crucial voting block again this november. one recent poll found 72% of young voters say they are likely to vote in the 2024 election, with 57% of them saying they are extremely likely to vote. in the last election, young voters helped elect covers ben maxwell frost, the youngest member of congress. gun safety advocate and parkland florida shooting survivor david hogg was active in the maxwell frost campaign. after that, david hogg founded an organization to support young candidates for office.'s organization, leaders we deserve, and endorses young candidates to achieve more diversity and greater representation in state legislatures, which remain majority male and majority white. organization has just recently endorsed. christine is a candidate for

state house representative in ohio's sixth district. and ashwan ramaswamy. david, let me begin with you and your choice in endorsing these two candidates. >> they are the best to bring the next generation into power. with ashwin's work to secure 2020. he is running against a fake elector for trump is significant because we have to show our generation, we are not just voting on the outside, but getting representation on the inside, too. people who understand the anxiety of what it's like going through a school shooter drill. unfortunately, biden has a bit of a youth voter problem and part of our hope is to show young people there are many people on the ballot that are

not just the president, but alle across the place. >> ohio can be a lonely place for a democrat to be campaigning. what made you decide moto run f the state house? >> yeahment thank you for having me. i am running to represent the west side of columbus. because i saw republicans try to take away voting rights and reproductive rights in ohio last year. this is out of touch with what ohioans and people in my community really need. the majority of ohio state legislators don't look like my community and don't have the the lived experiences of my community. it is unrealistic to expect people without lived experiences to ledge state in the best interest of ohioans. i know what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and with a disability. that is why i want to lead for t empathy and take concrete

action at the state house. >> and i had this discussion with david about focusing on state legislatures. all of this is happening with gun safety issues. and the national media attention is always on washington. it is always on the house of representatives. the state. what made you aim for the state senate in georgia? >> what i saw was that i really wanted to give back to my own community and what we see is the way to make larger systemic change is not to start at washington but actually start in your own communities and having the civic engagement immediated to do that kind of work. for me, as david mentioned i worked for the federal government on election security in 2020working with states to make shura elections are

secure. my state senator was indicted with trump for being a fake elector. i realized that someone needed to step up and really show that we are not going to stand for that and we want folks working on the issues that matter and not just overturning the will of the voters. >> christine, what do you think voters need to know about you and what you bring, what you would bring to the office? >> absolutely. i think it goes back to that empathy and being able to advocate for most vulnerable neighbors. most importantly, the primary election is on tuesday. i don't take corporate pac money and i rely on small dollar contributions. if anyone wants to learn more about me, you can do so at cockley for ohio.com. >> what should voters in georgia know about you, ashwin? >> i'm from johns creek where i

was born and raised. i went to public schools here. i want to make sure everyone has the opportunities i did and i would bring a new perspective to the legislature. i would be the first gen z, computer scientist and indian legislator in georgia. i hope to bridge these communities together. representative for everyone. and i want to make sure that we are bringing the energy, integrity and unity to make sure folks from all stripes can work together on the issues that matter for us. >> david, how many more candidates are you working with? >> we will be working with 30 across the country. a big reason for that is re because we want to show that we can't support every candidate unfortunately. but the ones we do, we want to support very heavily. we work on a day-to-day basis

with their campaigns. we financially support the campaigns as well because that is where the young people need the support. the reason we do this more than anything, i believe the greatest threat to american democracy is the hopelessness and apathy that has created people like donald trump. and my hope is that when young people look at candidates like christine or ashwin, they know not all hope is lost. >> david, christine, ashwan, thank you all very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. we'll be right back. . you we'll be right back. so when our windshield cracked, we trusted the experts. they focus on our safety... so we can focus on this little guy. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ ohhh crap. now we gotta get france something. wait! we can use etsy's new gift mode! alright. done. ♪♪ plateau de fromage!
