rematch ceatalie stevenson and dwiint eisenhower in 132 years that sees a incumbents grover cleveland and harrison in 1 polls beforehursday we saw the polls neck and neck we saw former president trump leaning narrowly among registered biden leading narrowly among likely voters. to my esteemed panelist we had popular with airbases and extraordinarily unpopular withmblematic of the political times we stand right need too to win over the few undecided voters still left in the middle while shepherding their bases to the polls in this i'm going to start with donna and then turn to you what would joe biden need d do. >> that's a very easy answer return to the common.

kicked up some states in the sun belt mainly arizona come down to six or sevenit depends on if i'm having bourbon or wine, if i have wine it's an everyday variety normally a cabaret calm and we can touch the blue wall and nephews because they may be the problem i saying. i went home for being louisiana and w afford seats and scott can give you that in a minute i went home and i said i'll do some b shrimp jambalaya and invite my knee for nieces and nephews over and i'm not serving mine because i'm not giving my gd wine they'd understand it they have it risen from boone farm at my and i put many of these young people at least i help them those who cannot help themselves and i said after they had their chinos with theit cranberry mixture okay i'll see later.joe biden right

and they looked at and i said maybe i need to turn my hearing aid but i don't have a hearing aid and i sa biden kamala harris and they said maybe every election season and i've seen before some of the new voters especially young voters perhaps the minority, not all but sor dance partner right now joe biden has to make sure he can reclaim the unquote great lake states, michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania and at least be competitive in the west nevada, arizona and my beloved self. this is going to be a close't know how close but the beta you one thing 99.5% shot you're in the game and the shot. we0j about less than 6 million voters out of the 244 million who t are eligible double actually decide the selection whether we saw in 2016 wh blue wall and of course the coalition

as well. >> same question to you how fall become glover cleveland and not stevenson. >> before i same network so i don't to spend much time withwi my pane the south and aspiring television pundit, this is somebody you look up to forr candor and their good humor in discourse i want to say it's an honor to be and we look up to. >> same hhink trump is currently winning thef the election were held today he i would win. i look at map into chunks, the sun beltve north carolina and i look at the northern wall and when i look at the sun belt state i see trump ahead and all of them and rfk junior getting on the ballot and mostly hurting biden i think it's 4 3 - 2 but the dynamics in the sun belt

avail. what does he have to win? he is doing pit savanna michigan and look at two of the three and i think trump is ahead in two of the three when i analymap today i think trump is ahead ahead. i'm not yet fully absorbed what i thiean other to say it's likely only to be a impact. if trump command center in wo senior citizens who are stuck in 20 more than with him, yet strength with seniors the ones mosik be offended by a felony conviction or some of the details of the casend also low information voters w little news and may have only seen a headline convicted they may not know what the casew was about or anyth that. if i were trump i would watch the two groups very closely and i believe there was a cohort of voters that would not vote for felon but i'm not sure were good to be able to see that washout in the polling j yet. so my view is

simply that the american peoplelle joe biden, he stuck below 40% has been for months underwater s when we pulled out of afghanistan. he's never been water in his personal approval since au21. they are stuck in the mud and the month is an enormous opportunity to shake the conviction at the beginning and the end of the . poles today and really because if after this consequential month nothing has changed, if i were in the biden headquarou think there's panic today ask me in a month and if headquarterstrumpheadquarters i would be thinking about how. [laughter] how do i prevent themmhey appear to be in. my current view is,ays focused on the reasons joe biden's job approval is below 40 he will win. if the election is about anything else on turn out butt my entire career the presidential campaign with george w. bush, the paradigm and

the republican party has been democrats. our view has always beenn everybody else and that will be good for them. it's the opposite throw out everything you thought youurnout. low turnout helps abide in it. look at why midterms, off year special elections. the highest propensity voters tend to put people with college degrees voters tended to beat so if you have a high turnout in this election it likelytrump was able to successfully bring out a bunch of ink and or register a bunch of new people and change the composition of the electorate. one thing looking for is can they build an infrastructure that as high as possible? because if they do they will insight from you both on the overall election for the skino important with the audience as well enjoy leaders country. both presumptive nominees see some fissures wit parties the respective parties on foreign policy. mcpherson tott with you on

this one. scott as we all s consideration of theas e package there are serious party on aid to ukraine. and another number establishmt longli serving some new ivals opposing support to ukraine certainly moree skeptical on leadership role that around the world. given how doocy donald trump m the world come on foreign policy the summer and fall again? >> i think one of the ways to be a successful as you have america be viewed as a world. both of these candidate i don't believe trump is an isolationist on the ordereople are true isolationist in the republican party. it is very conceg actually. don't think he actually is better left to see how the

administration shakes wins. i think it's important what's is equally if not more important here vote on the foreign aid packet was overwhelming bipartisan and whelmingly showed people willing to touch base when these debates wasn't close of the united states to be. friends and people one senatepeakere johnson anonymous amount of credit will stand up in a zone conference i took great satisfaction and heart and the force that will happen election mitch unleashed and a senior member of the great asset who b
