growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter.

porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. this morning we're learning new details of what happened behind the scenes at the white house after the special counsel's report that brings president biden's age and memory to the center of the 2024 race, with some republican lawmakers now calling for him to be removed from office under the 25th amendment. and have you seen this man?

a manhunt under way as police search for a suspect who killed a deputy and injured another. new details on the traffic stop that turned deadly. plus, we're in las vegas ahead of the big game on sunday. there it is. super bowl, with the 49ers flipping the script and beat the chiefs in this rematch? the countdown to kickoff starts now. kate bolduan out for a bit. i'm sara sidner with john berman. this is cnn news central. president biden emotional, defiant, and angry after a scathing report paints him as a forgetful elderly man with frequent memory lapses. the special counsel investigating the president's handling of classified documents questions his recollection of dates including claiming that he forgot when his son beau died. and this morning, we're getting

new details on what happened behind the scenes at biden's private meeting with democrats in virginia just a few hours later. this is how he addressed it to the american public. >> i know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events. there's even reference that i don't remember when my son died. how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly, when i was asked the question, i thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business. >> cnn's mj lee joining us from the white house. mj, one of the big things about the report is he was not criminally charged. but that is all lost in what has been put into the report about his mental acuity. can you give me some idea of more of the president's response last night. that was an extremely emotional moment we saw just there. >> reporter: yeah, it was clear to those of us in the room and

i'm sure for everybody watching that the president was quite angry. he was forcefully pushing back on the way that this investigation was handled and the suggestion in the report that he was an elderly man with a poor memory. you know, you saw in the clip that you just played one line of questioning from robert herr in particular, very much angered the president. questions about the president's son's death, beau's death, and the suggestion that he didn't remember when exactly his son had died. we're learning this morning that in private at that private democrats retreat in virginia yesterday that he erupted into anger, allegedly saying, quote, how would i f'ing forget that? now, the issue just about his age and alleged memory issues is not just about the fact that some of these details the white house and his allies find unflattering and gratuitous. it's that they speak to a broader issue that we have seen

expressed by voters, concerns about his age, about his mental ac acuity. i want you to look at other ways in which the president fielded some of the questions he got last night. >> i'm well meaning. i'm an elderly man, and i know what the hell i'm doing. >> how is your memory and can you continue as president? >> my memory is so bad i let you speak. >> do you feel your memory has gotten worse? >> look, i'm the most qualified person in the country to be the president of the united states and finish the job i started. >> one white house official i spoke with yesterday after the report did acknowledge that he was understandably distracted the weekend of the robert herr interview. remember, this was the weekend that the israel/hamas war broke out. and another thing just worth noting from the president's response. he very much leaned into and highlighted the distinctions

robert herr made between how he handled the classified documents versus former president donald trump, saying he immediately turned in the documents. he allowed for multiple searches, that he sat down for a multi-hour interview. but clearly, sara, this is a white house that is fuming about the fact that almost 400 pages were released when at the end of the day, there were no criminal charges. >> yeah, mj lee, i know the story has legs. we'll be talking a lot about this. thank you for all of your reporting. white house in full damage control mode this morning. also this morning, donald trump is the proud winner of republican caucuses in nevada and the u.s. virgin islands and the supreme court appears to be leaning his way in his fight to stay on colorado's ballot. cnn's kristen holmes is in harrisburg, pennsylvania, where trump is scheduled to speak later today. kristen, any word yet if trump plans to lean in to biden's issues when he takes the stage

later? >> reporter: well, it's been so notable that in response to robert herr's report, which was a political gift to donald trump, is even though republicans, democrats, the president himself are focused on these lines about age and mental acuity, donald trump has not weighed in. instead, he's used this as an opportunity to do what he does, blur the lines between his case, jack smith's handling of classified documents, and biden's case, saying it's a two-tiered justice system, that jack smith should drop the charges, that he was more cooperative than biden, which we know is not true given the fbi had to issue a search warrant to retrieve his documents. so far, he has not touched on the mental fitness, the age lines from the document. one thing to point out is while donald trump has alluded to biden's age, often called him incompetent, he never brings up his age. for two reason. one, because donald trump himself is an older man. two, because donald trump's

supporters are also older. he's trying to not risk alienating some of those people as well, and drawing attention to his own age. so will he bring attention to the mental acuity? likely. will he bring attention to the age? likely not. now, the one thing i want to note is it is undeniable, yesterday is arguably one of the best days for donald trump in the time since he has actually announced that he was going to run for office in november of 2022. including with those supreme court arguments. he watched them, he thought they went very well. this is what he said at a rally yesterday about them. >> our supreme court hopefully will be doing something in terms of helping our country and preserving democracy. we have to preserve our democracy. and i think they had a very, very interesting day, and a very beautiful day, perhaps. i think it was really a very beautiful sight to watch. >> reporter: and the other thing to note here is the win in

nevada is also a big win for a number of reasons. one being the republican party there has become the party of donald trump, something we saw in the primary there as well. >> swept up the caucuses. kristen holmes in pennsylvania, keep us posted with all your new reporting. thank you. here to discuss further is p political analyst john avlon and paul begala. thank you both for being here. look, the special counsel put some very clear language in there about the president's mental acuity. and you know, the headline would have been no charges for president biden in this case. headline has completely changed. how much is this damaging president biden's potential re-election? >> look, i think you need to keep these things in context. the headline should be the president's exonerated. his justice department appointed a special counsel, a republican special counsel. to show independence. and that's the way the system is

supposed to work. those details that were added in by the special counsel, legal experts have argued that they're a little optional, a little spin on the ball from their perspective. it's also true, of course, it doubles down on joe biden's greatest negative when it comes to the american people. and the right way to answer it is to go out and show you're crisp and vigorous and take and answer questions. i don't think we should fall into the trap of saying his exoneration is a political negative. but there's no question to the extent it deepens the narrative that his campaign and he have to address, because time moves in one direction. that's a bad day. i will say, defending yourself, you shouldn't be disqualified because you participated in an insurrection, even if it seems the court case is going in your direction, is also let's not put too much lipstick on that particular pig. >> paul, david axelrod was quoting saying something, the

worst thing that is happen to you in politics is when you play into one of the preconceived notions about you. you have tried to fix a lot of things in your career doing political strategy. how do you fix this? you can't make him younger. >> no, you can't. you know, people thought clinton was too liberal so he pivoted to the center. joe can't pivot to being 45 again. what you do is attack. change the subject. you can't unring the bell. and john points to this. i'm not sure why the white house isn't pointing this out. this republican counsel was a trump appointee to the u.s. attorney for maryland. he before that had clerked for a right-wing judge in california, the ninth circuit, who resigned being accused of sexual harassment. then he clerked for chief justice william rehnquist, who joe biden voted against confirmation. this guy has donated to republicans.

he's a partisan, and the only job he had was to indict or not indict. and to add all this, the only thing he didn't add is the legal disclaimer this is a political ad in support of donald trump. it was a total cheap shot. i think biden made it worse, no question about it, and axelrod is right, it plays into the master narrative, the negative narrative of joe biden, but i think people have to stop for a minute and say what kind of hell appointment was this by merrick garland to put a partisan trumper in charge of this and what was this guy doing editorializing way out of his league, way out of his depth, way out of his purview or job, and picking the most damaging political attack he could wage on joe biden. i think it smells. >> all right, i wanted to ask you, john. in hearing this from paul, you look at this, and you have got a former president who is facing 91 criminal charges against him. but you have a current president who is facing this issue of

people thinking that his memory isn't good, this is a problem. will the folks that are voting for him or the folks thinking about voting for him say this is just political, as paul sort of laid out for people. or like they have done for donald trump, or will this really stick and especially with those, like the independents who are wavering, who don't want to vote for either candidate but are leaning towards -- >> a long time till november. i think we're headed for something that looks a lot more like a parliamentary election. it may not be about the person at the top of the ticket but the policies and the party and what they're trying to bring. also, the relative merits or demerits of each candidate. with donald trump, you're getting someone who is campaigning on a frankly authoritarian platform. someone who has unspooled in public on a regular basis, lies all the time, and has 91 counts and tried to overthrow democracy the last time. joe biden, you have someone who is old. someone who is seen as decent

because that's true. someone who has been an effective and consequential president. you need to balance those two things and take into account what's in the national interest ultimately. for a lot of people this will be an agonizing decision. if you look at character, if you look at policies, and think about this as a broader election about a direction for the nation, and not so much about the personalities at the top, i think that may be where people start coming down, particularly swing voters. >> how much democratic bed wetting do you think there will be, and i bring up the term, a term that is used. >> a political term of art. >> it's used in democratic big "d" politics, what people say about democrats. it's not offensive to paul's delicate ears. how much of that will there be, and if you are the white house, how do you assuage said bed wetting? >> oh, yeah. look, i'm a biden supporter.

and i slept like a baby last night. i woke up every two hours and wet the bed. this is terrible for democrats. and anybody with a functioning brain knows that. but here's what you do. instead of calling a press conference and saying i really am sharp, you attack the other guy. you know, joe biden gave the strategy in 2012. i remember, he was vice president. and he said don't compare us to the almighty, compare us to the alternative. everything with biden has to be not i'm great but the other guy is really damaging, dangerous, a threat. john is right, this is going to be a really rough, ugly, unpleasant campaign. look at years ago, david duke was running for governor. edwin won the campaign with a bumper sticker that said vote for the crook. it's important. they have to tell democrats, support the old guy. it's important. >> you think they blew it last night, just to be clear?

you think last night was a mistake to have him out there? >> well, no, i want to see more joe biden, and the gaffes are built in, but instead of simply saying i'm okay, he just simply -- he needs to be on the attack 24/7 for the next 269 days. >> uplifting. uplifting message from paul right there. >> i appreciate the edwin edwards reference. the best defense is a good offense. he does need to address people's concerns by how he presents, showing vigor and clarity and crispness and saying here's what i have done. is the country better off than three or four years ago. a strong case to be made it is. and the implication of what's happening also isn't just about america alone. it's about autocracy versus democracy, and ukraine, and whether you turn it over to putin. it's what the republicans have done refusing to fix the border, to score political points. those are in some ways the deeper issues. and i think that will be the

ground this election is fought on. >> paul, our thanks to you. john avlon, thanks so much to you. no one cares more about the business or america or about teaching america about what's important than you. thank you for that. all right, tucker carlson, big fan of vladimir putin, apparently. gets two hours with him. hear how the russian leader dealt with tucker carlson. a tornado touches down in wisconsin for the first time ever in the month of february. wait until you see the damage. and taylor swift. she has one more show in tokyo. i feel like we need a permanent tracker on her. taylor swift just had breakfast. we'll tell you what she ate and she's going to the super bowl in case you didn't know. we'll tell you how the nfl commissioner is dealing with taylor swift's breakfast. >> i don't think i'm that good a scripter or anybody on our staff.

what may be donald trump's best day of 2024 is under his belt after winning the nevada republican caucus and signs he could possibly fend off a blockbuster challenge to his ability on the colorado ballot. the supreme court justices appear poised to side with him in his historic case, potentially by a wide margin. >> why should a single state have the ability to make this determination, not only for their own citizens but for the rest of the nation. >> these are difficult questions and you look right at section 5 of the 14th amendment as the chief justice said, and that tells you congress has the primary role here. >> so if there's an ambiguity, why would we construe it to, as

justice kavanaugh pointed out, against democracy. >> now comes the hard part. settling debate over state's power and the 14th amendment, and how soon can they do it. super tuesday, less than a month away. and primaries of course as you know have already begun. cnn senior supreme court analyst joan biskupic is joining us with her analysis of all this. how soon could this ruling come out? i know it usually takes quite some time, but there is a ticking deadline here. >> good to see you. yes, you know, look, often we'll have cases argued in october and won't see them until june. this is different. the justices themselves put it on an expedited schedule and you saw chief justice has a majority if not a unanimous court to outright reverse the colorado supreme court. and that court was a bench that said that donald trump should not be on the state ballot

because of his role in the january 6th, 2021, attack on the capitol. they cited a provision of the constitution that bars insurrectionists from holding future office. but the issue now is, what are their legal grounds? they can't just say, okay, we reverse. we're out of here. they need to come up with legal grounds. yesterday, sara, we heard a couple of different options being offered, picking up on the lawyer for donald trump. for example, to say that only congress has the authority to disqualify someone from the ballot. it shouldn't be up to individual states, but there were other issues having to do with the specific text of the 14th amendment section 3. for example, is the president even covered by language that refers to an officer of the united states? it sounds like a president would be, but in the terms of the constitution, as they were written at the time, there's

some ambiguity there. and another overriding consideration for this court are the practical consequences. several of the justices raised the whole idea of not just who decides but taking a candidate off the ballot and what it would do down the road. let me just read you from chief justice john roberts. he said if colorado's position is upheld, surely, there will be disqualification proceedings on the other side. i would expect that a goodly number of states will say whoever the democratic candidate is, you're off the ballot. and others for the republican candidate, you're off the ballot. so that gives you a sense of kind of their thinking. okay, then down to exact timing. they will meet in upcoming days in a private session to take a vote and begin hashing out the legal rationale. i would expect because they have expedited the schedule for this that they are mindful of super tuesday, a month from now, that they are going to try to do it fast. but sara, the justices are a lot

actually like us. the writing is hard. it takes many, many drafts. they go back and forth on their rationale, and i would think by early march we'll see something, though. thanks, sara. >> i'll take it. funny that colorado said i disagree and don't call me shirley. that's a different matter. with us now, legal analyst ellie williams and jim schultz. there's so much going on that requires legal expertise. yes, the supreme court. joan did a good job explaining where that stands. which seems likely to rule in trump's favor. so i want to go back, if i can, to this special counsel report from robert herr and why, and we haven't really touched on this yet, why in the last i guess 18 hours it hasn't been -- 24 yet, i have heard so many democratic lawmakers and strategists behind the scenes bring up the name

comey. why do they see this like a comey thing? explain. >> well, jim comey, as special counsel, released a report, it was about two weeks before the 2016 election. but also did a press conference laying out his reasons for not charging hillary clinton with a crime. and sort of laid out a parade of horribles of all the bad but not illegal or at least not chargeable things that she was accused to have done. now, here, something somewhat similar has happened here in that the report detailed a lot of conduct that would not be charged as a crime, but still looks bad for a political candidate for office. that's why i think you're seeing democratic politicians and others excoriating the report a bit. look, john, on the ride in this morning, i saw two different headlines specifically saying joe biden challenges report that questions his mental fitness and mental acuity. if that's the takeaway, then someone is failing at their job.

this was a declination report. it should have been a report in which prosecutors merely said why they were or weren't charging an individual. if the big takeaway is this is an old man with a bad memory, i think prosecutors went a little far in detailing information as to why they weren't bringing charges. >> is there any guidelines, any instruction manual that says you can and can't do this? anything that says don't do a jim comey? >> it's not, and that's an important question. the special counsel statute merely says a report detailing or identifying -- i don't want to get the language wrong -- the reason for declination. it's up for the special counsel to include the information he or she wants to put in. here it was that added extra because he's old that i think that democrats and other folks are pouncing on. >> jim, what was necessary in that report in your mind? and what was optional? >> so let's take a step back. there are some parallels. there's some differences but there are some parallels with

the trump case. the parallels are this. one, you had the president of the united states saying, those were my documents. and that's kind of -- that was the gist of the comments in the report from president biden. same kind of thing, that was donald trump's attitude was the same way. they knocked that down in the report. then you have this conversation with a person writing a memoir, giving away these classified information. same kind of thing happened with the trump discussion. giving away classified information for an author. same issues. so then, there are some differences in that joe biden turned over all the information. didn't say no to getting the boxes out of his garage. kind of made himself accessible, made his team accessible. i think that is an important distinction. but those other issues are important, too. those could lead to criminal charges, and the reasoning behind not charging one of the

major reasons was look, this guy is not going to be -- not going to stand up well at trial. he's not going to have a good memory. he didn't have a good memory during the questioning. and they probably picked key points in his life, when his son died, when he was vice president, all of those questions kind of to lay out and ask him questions about when he had the documents, what was going on in his life at the time. so all of that matters. especially when you're declining to prosecute once he leaves office, what will then be a former president of the united states. they need to justify that, and that report goes to congress. >> the main justification was the complete cooperation they got from president biden after those documents were in fact -- it was revealed he had them. elliot williams and jum schultz, thank you both for being with us today. armed and dangerous. a manhunt under way for the suspect in the fatal shooting of a sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop.

services channels. i believe an agreement can be reached. >> with us now, former cnn moscow bureau chief and adjunct professor jill dougherty. you of course know russia so well. know vladimir putin so well. what did putin get out of this? >> i'm judging by what his press secretary said this morning, which is what do you know, the entire world now wants an interview with vladimir putin, and essentially they're knocking on the door. i think, you know, this interview to me was not the interview per se, because almost everything that we heard from vladimir putin is the somthing we have heard literally for years. but it was about the interview. you know, the preparation. so i think putin had domestic u.s. audiences and domestic russian audiences in mind. number one, tucker carlson gets

an interview. there's a lot of press. tucker gets a lot of attention. and putin does too because he's willing to give this interview. at home in russia, which is really crucial, he gets to show that russia's no longer isolated. that the world respects vladimir putin. and now everybody wants to talk to him. i think ultimately, you know, putin got more out of it than tucker carlson, although i don't know financially we would have to look at that. >> so do you -- first, obviously, you're right. putin gives this history lesson any chance he gets and gives it at length, which is what tucker carlson experienced with his very first question. what about what some people are perceiving as an opening to negotiate over evan gershkovich. anything really there? >> i don't think it's anything new. i mean, the name of the russian which was not used by president putin but a lot of people know

that they are pushing to get a russian hitman who is currently being held in germany released for evan gershkovich. so that even was not particularly new. putin did say, you know, i would like city him return to his homeland too, but that's not really new. so i don't think it broke any new ground. putin, though, was trying to get in, i think, some talking points where he said, you know, doesn't the united states have anything better to do than to arm ukraine? i mean, you've got problems on the border. you've got problems with your budget. et cetera. why not just do a deal with russia? of course, ignoring the fact that there's another country, which is ukraine, which is the one that will make those decisions hopefully. >> jill dougherty, great to see you. great for us to see this interview through your trained eyes. thank you so much. so the super bowl is upon

us. who is to thank for an expected surge in viewership and does it item with smaylorlift?

. more than 110 million people are expected to watch the super bowl on sunday. and the nfl can thank taylor swift for some of those newfound football enthusiasts. sports anchor and all of a sudden chief taylor swift correspondent coy wire is in las vegas reporting on it all. coy, i mean, you're there in the middle of it. it's just a little different

than you're used to. >> reporter: it's incredible. yeah, i think i was today years old, john, when i realized there's a super bowl being played alongside this taylor swift event happening on sunday. i have never seen so much focus about something going on outside the lives of the most watched tv program in america has gotten even more hype and more intensity as these sports and entertainment worlds collide. >> shout out to the newest members of the chiefs kingdom, tay rr swift who has officially reached the super bowl in her rookie year. >> shout out to taylor. >> thanks for joining the team. >> the nfl and loads of fans are embracing this romance. one thing you can bet on is taylor swift is good for business. nfl viewership hitting all-time highs this post season. >> she's rewriting the history books herself. i told her i have to hold up my end of the bargain. >> if you're screaming at taylor swift, you're just a loser. >> why is everybody so mad about

it? >> this anger. it says nothing about taylor swift. it says everything about the men bothered by it. >> it's pretty clear that this has all been quite divisive. some supporting tay tay, but others -- >> we're boycotting any t. swift songs and it's hard because i have her on my running playlist and everything. if she pops up -- my oldest son max and i are big swifties. nope, she's dead to us this week. >> listen to this, taylor's favorite number is 13. >> this is my 13th grammy. which is my lucky number. i don't know if i have ever told you that. >> reporter: this is super bowl lviii. 5 plus 8 is 13. the game is being played on 2/11. 2 plus 11, 13. the chiefs opponent, the 49ers. 4 plus 9 is, you get it, but seriously, this will be taylor's 13th game this season leaving some conspiracy theorists to

think the nfl is scripted. >> i don't think i'm that good a scripter or anybody on our staff. >> has this first ever vegas super bowl matchup been taylor made? >> oh, look what they made me do, john. yeah, some online are saying the chiefs in the super bowl so swifties can boost ratings further was the nfl's plan all along. but i am going to give you a bit of reporter envy right now, john. i'm going to interview tom brady, your beloved tom brady, in just a bit. yes, i will ask him about this swift mania, and i will also ask him about the heck of the quarterback matchup we're about to see on super bowl sunday, football. >> a huge get, an interview with tom brady to ask about taylor swift. super bowl lviii is upon us. coy wire, thank you so much. great job. john could not be happier. he wishes he were there. all right, joining us now is former nfl wide receiver donte stallworth. thank you, sir, for coming on.

love the hair and the beard. you're killing it. can i just quickly ask you about this conspiracy thing? i know you are very familiar with the 49ers. is there anything to this numbers crunch, whatever, what do you think? >> i think it's always fun for especially around the super bowl for people to come up with all of these conspiracies and especially with travis kelce and taylor swift dating now. there's obviously more story line towards that. it's fun. but at the end of the day, it's not scripted but it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. obviously, the viewership has skyrocketed since taylor has been dating travis kelce and been going to the games. you have seen a big sur plus in young viewership among young women, young girls. and the nfl is going to welcome that viewership from everyone, and taylor swift obviously has a lot of star power and bringing a

lot of viewers to the game. >> she has a whole economy behind her. this has been the year of the woman in 2023, it is again in 2024, i would like to add and from now forward. she brings with her a huge amount of people who may not have been interested in the super bowl and suddenly are. so you're welcome, nfl. let's just talk about the other stars of this, of the super bowl. we have mahomes, six years as a starter. he's been selected to the pro bowl, as he should be in every year. he is a two-time mvp, and on sunday, he could become the fifth quarterback, just the fifth to win three super bowls. if mahomes and chiefs come out on top, where does that put him among the league's all time great quarterbacks? >> i think you have got to put him up there. he will actually be the youngest quarterback to start four games in the nfl's history, and he's only i believe 28 years old.

so he's got a long way to hopefully has a long career ahead of him. he mentioned it last year, that he wants -- he's chasing tom brady. so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. i think even without the super bowl, i think he's already mentioned among the all-time greats now. if he gets this win, you have got to start talking about him, you know, maybe not as good as brady, but definitely knocking on the door. >> the 49ers, i am well familiar, i used to live in the bay area, but they have whooped my rams' behind, but they have a chance to join the patriots and the steelers with the most super bowl wins of all time at six. there is a lot riding on this game for the head coach. he's fallen just short of hitting the mountain top in recent years. what do you think about their chances here and the pressure that is put on shanahan? >> i'm born and raised in sacramento, california, so i

also grew up a 49ers fan. and i played for kyle shanahan, both played for andy reid too. so you know, i love andy reid. i love the chiefs, i love mahomes and everything they have been able to build over there, this new dynasty they have, but i would like to see kyle shanahan get one. i think the chances are good. they're a team, they had injuries throughout the year, but they kind of persevered through all of that, and so have the chiefs. they persevered through an up and down season. now, the culmination of the super bowl, the two best teams and if i had to take a guess, if i'm a betting man, i'm going to go 49ers, with the home team by three points. . >> okay. dante said it live here at 6:49 pacific time, obviously, you're in las vegas. i think we can both agree, we've seen the niners play for a long time, ain't no one they're letting someone in. the fix is not in.

let's be clear. donte stallworth, thanks for waking up early for us this morning. appreciate you. >> appreciate it. >> john? we have new reporting this morning on a manhunt after a deputy was shot and killed during a traffic stop.

growing up, my parents wanted me to become

a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.
