the deck of her minivan. this is a residential area where we president. there was another man who was a soccer player at udc. he said he knew it was shots and he just hit the floor until they've stopped. wolf, back to you. >> i suspect we'll get more information, thanks very much to our viewers. thanks for watching, aaron burnett "out front" starts right now. [ music playing ] remembers every. "kout front" next breaking news, the breast taking details of kiev. russia says it wants to control all of the south a. dubious death toll of the prized war ship that sank. plus, ukraine's prosecutor general saying there are huge numbers of mass graves and evidence of gen side in mariupol. marjorie taylor greene testifying under oath. tonight she still insists donald trump won the election.

let's go "out front." good evening, everyone, i'm kate baldwin in for erin burnett. this new drone video revealing the starting scale of putin's war. this is all that is left of a village north of the capital kiev, home after home leveled. the roofs blown off other buildings. this village was vital to stopping putin's march towards the capitol and why he pulled back and redoubled his efforts to the east. it is in the eastern part of the country russians are attacking with increasing intensity tonight. these images show apartments on fire, businesses gutted. tonight the pentagon warns putin is not letting up. >> what we dough k know is they putting more enablers in there, in the last 24 hours. what we do know is they are conducting operations in the donbas. certainly, they continue to

bombard mariupol. >> now, one of putin's large commanders say russia's am ambitions go far beyond the east. that would give them a massive land to stretch russia's border to the black sea. there are questions whether russia could accomplish that, given the number of setbacks, putin suffered, including the sink of his prize warship. this shows it tilting to one side as black smoke rises above the vessel, yet, russia is claiming tonight only one crew member died and 27 are still missing. they released video this week of the commander meeting with surviving members. you can see clearly far fewer than the 396 crew members that russia is now saying survived. much more on that? just a moment. first, i want to go to sam kylie in ukraine live with us tonight. what is the latest on the ground there? >> reporter: okay. i think the most significant thing is in the last couple days, both ukrainians and the

russian agree the russian second phase is under way. it's under way in terms of an increased use of artillery and long-range missiles against targets all over the east of the country. but particularly, kate, around towns that are near krematorsk. it's in lossenger territory. they are held by separatist clients back if 2014. now, on top of that, of course, we have now heard from the major general in charge the of the central region of the russian armed forces saying he believed the russian target was now to capture all of the -- not only the azov sea coast which is held up fighting around mariupol, but also all the way around as far as odesa and onto the borders

with moldova. there is an enclave there. they may be farfetched. already they are being held up in mykolaiv. what they are trying to do is get ukrainians to spread their military operations in preparation for a potential attack there, whilst it will be very much in the east and drive towards where i am here or a little further east of here, try and cut off ukrainian forces in that enclave around krematorsk and annihilate them there. it's a russian plan they are aware of and prepared for, kate. >> sam, thank you so much for that. i want to go to alex marco out front in washington. russia says only one crew member was killed on that ship that sank last week. what are you learning about that? >> reporter: remember, russia said it sank because of fire on

board, whereas ukrainians, of course, said they fired two missiles at it. that's why it sunk. that's the version the u.s. agrees with. the russians are not changing their story there. but they are filling out some of the details. they are giving us numbers in terms of the survivors, the lone survivor, the missing, and the evacuees. the lone person who was killed and the evacuees of which they say there were around 400. we have seen some video as you mentioned of those people that got you've the ship. it appeared in that video there were only about 100 of them. there could be quite a few wounded who wouldn't appear there. they are telling a story about this one sailor who was killed. they say that thanks to him, that hundreds of people survived. that he went down to the boil tore try to shut it down and in doing so, he rescued hundreds of sailors. but he, himself, died. they are telling us a heroic story. this all comes from russian state media. at the very least, we have to take it with a huge grain of

salt, of course, they have been telling huge lies throughout this conflict. then when it comes to the 27 who are missing, this ship went down on april 14th. so these almost 30 sailors have been missing for a week now. so their prospects do appear to be quite grim. we have heard from a number of families of the sailors who were getting increasingly angry. one father wrote, when the initial story came out, that all of the sailors have been evacuated. he called that a cynic ally. we seen him posting in the wake of this new story from russia. he's talking about these mission sailors writing, now, we'll have to look into the matter as to how long this gone missing in the open sea can continue. so, kate, this one father still very skeptical of the government's story. as you and i were talking the other night, there is a hope that as it becomes clear to russian parents, how many of their sons are not coming home, there might be some protest movement that rises up, we have

not seen that yet, of course, it's very difficult to get information in russia right now and very dangerous to go out and protest. kate. >> excellent point, it's good to see you, thank you very much. retired army brigadier former secretary of state for political military affairs and a former deputy and national intelligence officer for russia and eurasia. we've heard today from the british prime minister boris johnson. he said that in hess view, it is a realistic possibility that vladimir putin my win this war. now, the united states disagrees with that assessment. do you think there is a realistic policy putin can win? >> well, i think it's the definition of when. if putin now is convincing his population that a win is to seize and fold the donbas, now we have a path from russia through crimea and mariupol. that's his definition of

winning. it includes the south and goes to odesa, that's his definition of win. but because he's trying to control the narrative, he gets to define what win is. >> andrea, what do you think? >> i think i definitely disagree with prime minister boris johnson. i think it's a little unfortunate he said it, because the uk have been such a strong supporter with ukraine and military assistance and announced opening their embassy. but if you step back and look what's happening, i think this is absolutely going to be a strategic defeat for putin. he set out to subjugate ukraine, that's not happening. he is hardening ukraine's desire to immigrate with the west. outside of the west, we should see fin land joining nato. nato is revitalized. nato continues to move equipment closer to russia's border, which russia long not to avoid. the russian economy is at that

time tatterred. it's prestige is severely punished. i don't see how this can be a strategic defeat for vladimir putin. >> general, you talk about win. we have a definition of what the goal is now. a russian military commander says moscow's goal is to quote/unquote a full control over donbas and southern ukraine. they even have their sights on moldova. how bad is that for ukraine, if that happens and it may be a big if? >> well, first of all, let me go back to my colleague's point. you actually are right. this is a strategic defeat for putin in the eyes of the west, but the way he is going to spin the narrative is that this is going to be success. now, as to the south, there are some concerns that he would, in fact, as alex said, not only take the south but continue onto the area inside moldova.

i don't think he's got that capability. but if he is able to take odesa, what he has essentially done is made ukraine a land-locked country. and ukraine is so dependent upon its agricultural exports through the sea to feed their treasury. but that would be a strategic loss in the long run for ukraine. >> a very big one. i want to ask you about the russian warship, alex marco was giving us an update on. one died, 27 missing, the remaining 396 were evacuated and rescued. one, do you believe it? and, two, why is putin putting this out there? >> i absolutely do not believe it, as alex says, the kremlin lies all the time, particularly throughout this war. i think for putin, this is his effort to control the narrative. this is a part of his plop began da machine. he is trying to convince onlook countries outside of russia, the

global sides, latin america, that putin is still a competent leader and russia is still a great power. he is trying to create a narrative that doesn't tarnish russia's image in that sense. it's especially targeted at his own domestic public. there is a huge, vocal constituency inside russia that now have very high expectations for what putin should be able to accomplish in russia. so i think putin is concerned that as this quote unquote special operation drags on two months now and adds images of thinking in the black sea come back to russia, that that risks targeting his possession as a competent leader. so he is fighting tooth and nail to control the environment in order to maintain his grip on power and his image as a competent leader of russia. >> in the meantime, he is lying, potentially lying of the most sacred of things, the lives lost

of his own sailors that not there. good to see you, thank you very much. "out front" next, a thousand bodies recovered. that's just around kiev, mass graves discovered outside mariupol. those are not all the atrocities ukraine is uncovering, of course. the country's prosecutor general is next. marjorie taylor greene fighting for her office despite the january 6th. this is defiant and defensive under oath. >> you sound like you have as many conspiracy theories as qanon at this point. >> from taxes to trains to planes, a reporter travels to see first hand just how confusing the country's mask policies are tonight. if you're not oozing, then you're losing.. tater totting, cold or hotting. mealin', feelin', pie-ing, trying. color your spread. upgradade your bread. pair it. share it. kraft singles. square it. bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldt find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark pla.

book today at aspendental.com, walk in, or call 1-800-aspendental. now, ukrainian officials say the bodies of more than 100,000 ukrainians killed in this war have been examined by investigators. that count is just from kiev. the head of kiev region police say this, quote, those are civilians who had nothing to do with territorial defense or other military formations. just as president zelenskyy vows to get justice for any victims of war crimes in this country. phil black is out front for us live in kiev. a warning, some of the video images are you about to see, they are graphic. phil, what's happening there? >> reporter: yeah, kate, the work continues, because that figure, 1084 is by no means final. as we see, bodies are still being pulled from debris and exhumed from temporary graves.

once recovered, they are taken to seven morgues, scattered across the kiev region. where they are examined, autopsies are constructed. they try to establish the cause of death. where samples can be taken useful for identification purposes down the track. these are facilities not built to deal with this, to operate at this scale. so large mobile refrigerators have been brought in just to store the victims of russia's occupation. the kiev region police chief says of the bodies examined so far, between 50 and 75% died as a result of small arms fire. we spoke to a forensics medicine expert who said that based on what he is seeing, he thinks of those who were killed, by gunfire, between 30 and 40% were clearly shot deliberately. that is murdered. that is a determination naid made by the fact they were clearly shot and killed as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.

he thinks others may have been killed deliberately as well. they also experienced other injuries. so the determination isn't as straight forward. other causes of death, common causes of death, generally as a result of that artillery fire. that is being hit and crashed by debris or bodies absorbing the force of the blast. essentially what we have been told is the bodies tell the story in the community. the communities russia were clearly in control, clearly the occupying force, that is where you are more likely to see close range gunshot wounds in communities where they were contested. the fighting was intense, people died as a result of injuries through russia's indiscriminate bombardment of residential buildings. kate. >> phil, thank you. out front now, these new satellite images we are seeing,

though show rows of apparent mass graves ten miles west of mariupol. an ad advisor to the mayor says russian forces are digging these graves that are 100 feet long. we know access to mariupol is nearly impossible. what do you know about this? >> now we understand this we have for a huge number of massive graves, but actually, we don't understand and we don't having a says to these graves. now i can't say who inside city lines all militaries that were against the aggression. it's a huge difficulty for us. it's very possible to investigate. because we are still in the war and we don't having a says to the occupied territories the. >> do you believe that russian forces are trying to cover up or get rid of evidence that could help your investigation? >> i am sure that they try to hide everything that they try to

make information in different way and, of course, they want us to say something else. now we see this, they have done huge prop dependant da in the russian federation and actually the information is absolutely different and it is not objective. that's why it's real ordinary stress in here. >> you've said that you expect to find evidence of gen side in mariupol. how confident are you that vladimir putin is not only committing war crimes in the country but gen side as well? >> what we see exactly in moldova, it is the departure of children. we see so much as several criminal cases and we understand that the huge number of our adult population and children were departed from the territory of mariupol.

of course, we, if we will having a says to the city, i am sure that we will find on them characters of genocide. actually, we started to prosecute people who called about gen side. they spoke about this ukrainians state should be destroyed. ukrainians should be killed as a nation, but we should find all evidence of this. that's when we will do our job and find all possibilities. >> huge deaths have taken place in all occupied ukraine. are you seeing it in every population, men, women, even children, that are becoming victims to these sexual crimes? >> even all women, when i was involved, i tried to be on such place by myself and stick with policemen and prosecutors on the ground as witnesses and when i

was down there, it was the same day when they started a case about rape in the old home. that's where, yes, unfortunately, we have such information. i speak about when i speak about the other side, i can speak about information. we should check it. when we will find actually the victim, because it's very sensitive question. it's a so sensitive information. victims don't want to be like a statistic. they understand that it will be a difficult way for them. this way we, again, have this information from friends, from neighbors, from their relatives, but not always from victims. we are starting cases, but we are waiting when the victims will be ready to dom and speak

with us. >> prosecutor general, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you very much.

. marjorie taylor greene in court and on the stand today, defending herself and her right to run for re-election, which is facing a direct challenge from a group of georgia voters. they say her actions around the january 6th riot should qualify her from holding office. under oath, she defended herself and still insists donald trump won the 2020 election. amara walker is "out front." >> reporter: an extraordinary day in court as georgia representative marjorie taylor greene took the stand. in a hearing to determine if the republican law maker is constitutionally disqualified from running for re-election because of any role she may have played in the january 6th ieps. greene still pushing the big lie. >> you believed that joe biden had lost the election to mr. trump, correct? >> yes, we saw a number of --

>> continuing to deny prior knowledge of what happened january 6th. >> you were aware that people were going to make noise outside the capitol as a means to disrupt the proceedings inside the capitol, is that fair? >> now, i have no idea what you are talking about. >> prior to january 6th, 2021, have you heard people were planning to enter the capitol building illegally to disrupt the process? >> no, absolutely not. >> reporter: greene also unable to recall her conversation with other lawmakers. >> you didn't talk to anybody in government about the fact there going to be large protests in washington on january 6th? >> i don't remember. >> you spoke to representative biggs or his staff about that fact, didn't you? >> i do not remember. >> reporter: how about representative cosar? >> sorry. i don't remember. >> using the same defense when asked about her controversial social media posts. >> did you like a post that said, it's quicker that a bullet

to the head would be a quicker way to remove nancy pelosi from the -- in i have had many people manage my social media account over the years, i have no idea who writes that. >> reporter: green 73 frequently objected to the questioning. >> you seem you have many an pier is race theories. >> she says it was political free speech, not advocating violence. >> you used the term 17? ics to describe in response to a question from the newsmax broadcaster, right? >> i was speaking about objecting. >> well, he asked you, what is your plan, what are you prepared to have go down tomorrow on january 6th? and your response was, tomorrow is our 1776 moment. >> i was talking about the courage to object. >> greene's attorneys focusing on her own fears that day. >> were you at the attack? >> yes, i was.

i was in the house chamber be when it happened. >> she said some were patriots. >> some are veterans, some definitely are patriots. >> >> reporter: at the core of the case, a provision baring american individuals from future office if found aiding or abetting in an insurrection. >> this is not politics. this is not theater. this is a serious case. >> reporter: the outset could phase a precedent for others role's in the insurrection. >> we're going to the capital. >> reporter: including former president trump if he runs again in 2024. now, the judge is expected to make a decision early next month on whether or not marjorie taylor greene should be disqualified, he will make his recommendation to the georgia secretary of state. now, kate, keep in mind this insurrection disqualification clause in the 14th amendment is

from the civil war era. that mean this is provision has never been tested in mod tern history. that will make it likely an uphill battle for the challenger. kate. >> thank you very much for that. joining us right now davideren berg, state attorney for florida. good to see you. >> thank you. >> how strong a case do you think this is? am ra put it all together very well? >> i think it will be an uphill battle because no one, including marjorie taylor greene has been charged with a crime of insurrection stemming from january 6th. there is a reason for that, the department of justice convened it's easier to prove in a proceeding and you get more years in prison, using that statute. so don't expect anyone to be charged with insurrection. that makes it harder to prevail here. also, her testimony today didn't quite establish that she planned violence or coordinated which are otters of january 6th.

although there is requirement for marjorie taylor greene to be charged or found to be guilty of this offense here in this administrative hearing and thrown off the ballot, it's up to a state court to korea it this new precedent. because as was said, this is uncharted territory and state court journals don't like to be the first ones to creating in new especially when it comes to bouncing a sitting measure of cong congress out of her job. >> listen to this. >> do you think that speaker pelosi is a traitor to the country, right? >> your comment in that question is speculation. >> you've said that, haven't you, miss greene, she is a traitor to her country? >> no, i haven't said that. >> could you please advise, please. now, i believe that upholding securing the border that that violates

her oath of office. >> one example how it played out on the stand. do you think greene helped herself in her defense on the stand? >> well, if she's ultimately bounced from the ballot or charged with perjury. she lied i think throughout this hearing. yes, she would have hurt herself. proving perjury, she kept saying i don't recall, she talked to a lawyer and is trying to avoid a perjury trap. if she hurt herself in the court of public opinion. her detractors will continue to despise her and her supporters will continue to love her. one thing, she seemed to backtrack and be a little hess tavent. th hesitant and that could hurt some crazy believers who think everything is a conspiracy and all democrats are pedophiles. if she was asked if nancy pelosi is a traitor, she backtracked on

that, that could hurt her standings amongst her hard core supports that think she is a traitor. this could cost her votes and campaign contributions. >> she got an applause from her supporters this morning intent e intering the courtroom. house minority leader kevin mccarthy caught on tape saying he believed donald trump should deny that very thing. the reporter who has the tapes is my guest next. and to mask or not. travelers are confused by mask policies that really are all over the map. >> i'm about to go down the jetway with another broken policy. bath fitter doesn't just fit your bath. we fit your life. when you're tired of looking at your tired old bath, we fit your style, with hundreds of design options. when a normal day is anything

. tonight newly released audio getting at the heart of donald trump's role on january 6th. house minority leader kevin mccarthy talking about this very issue with fellow republicans days after the riot. these are calls obtained by two new york time's journalists for their bomb shell new book. >> let me be clear to all of you, i have been very clear with the president.

he does bear responsibilities for his words and actions. no if, ands or buts. i asked him personally today, does he hold responsibility for what happened? he told me he bears responsibility for what happened. but you need to acknowledge that. >> i've had it with this guy. what he did is unacceptable. nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it. >> so those tapes are emerging after another reported call was released proving that mccarthy lied when denying the report. he considered telling donald trump to resign. >> reporter: is there any chance you are hearing he might resign or that might happen? >> i've had a few discussions. my gut tells me no i'm seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. i haven't talked to him in a

couple of days. from what i know of him, i mean, you guys all know him, too, do you think he'd ever back away? the only discussion i will have with him is that i think this will pass and it would my recommendation you should resign. i mean, that would be my take, but i don't think he would take it. but i don't know. >> republican sources tell cnn mc car think is saying that trump called him about that leaked audio last night and the sources say mccarthy didn't seem worried and has said, quote, trump was fine. "out front" now jonathan martin one of the authors of this new book titled this will not pass, trump, biden a and the battle for america's future. good to see you. >> thank you. >> mccarthy says, according to sources that trump was fine and a top republican told cnn mccarthy didn't seem worried about his political future after this. do you think, do you sense that kevin mccarthy should be

worried? >> well, i would make two points, number one, president trump is famous for a sort of slow buildup and a number of past cases, he doesn't respond initially. but after he absorbs the coverage for a few day s -- we have a lot of conversations that were had in the days, weeks and months after january 6th. some of which we have not reported yet. in this book that's out may 3rd. so i think it may be premature to guess how president trump is going to fully respond to this book when he hasn't seen only but a couple of passages. >> good point. some of the loudest voices in trump world isn't going to step up and slam mccarthy.

one said, i was rallying wyoming against liz cheney, kevin mccarthy was defending liz cheney among house republicans and also letting to kevin mccarthy, you should have trusted my instinct, not your own. what do you think? i consider this kind of like an extra layer or two how the reaction to this book is playing out so far. all does not seem fine, though, when you see that? >> yes, he obviously has tractors and gains one of the louder once. gaetz reflects a hard right faction. they are loyal to trump. i think this is where mccarthy is a little nervous, overall, that he needs the trump loyalists like matt gaetz to stick with him. if he loses to many of them, you know, especially the ones not as critical as matt gaetz. that can create a massive

problem for him if he wants to be speaker of the house. >> what do you mean? this is like his entire goal in life right now. >> no, this is his right. everythingr everything he's driving towards is becoming speaker. this is why precisely the last year-and-a-half, he's run from his tone and posture and comments that you just played a minute ago there in those private conversations. he has been retentive, he has reembraced president trump, because he knows he needs trump's approval to keep the far right faction of his caucus placated. that goes to the heart of this book. what we write about in this book, which is the story of two political parties in this country who are facing existential challenges trying to keep their equilibrium. in the case of republicans, people like kevin mcdhar think is trying to walk this tightrope case of keeping the trump

faction happy and kind of the old guard who despise president trump at the same time and it's not easy. it's basically two parties in one. >> what i am also seeing, this is not a book of the past. it's about the present and absolute future what this all gets at. you mentioned more material to come, of course, for you and alex. i can't wait to see in the book. who else should be nervous, jonathan? >> we have spent hours and hours and hours interviewing top officials in both political parties in washington and in state capitals and city halls across the country. nearly every page has fresh reporting on it. so i think readers will learn a lot about the 2020 campaign. certainly the aftermath of the campaign, january 6th. they're also going to learn about the democrat challenges in 2021 and how president biden has struggled to keep his part together, too. so i hope your viewers can pre-order a copy tonight on amazon. >> got to get the plug in. it wouldn't be smart if we

didn't. >> it's out may 3rd, kate. >> what date? >> may 3rd. you are the best, thank you. >> "out front" next, maps required here -- masks required here, but not there. a reporter with many other americans in a feat of confusion, planes, trains, takes, all of it have different mask policies in different cities. plus the blame game. voters angry about some prices. some are pointing fingers at the president. >> ever since mr. biden took office, everything has been going up. >> > the air

[ marcia ] my dental health was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her that permanent solution.

[ marcia ] clearchoice dental implants gave me the ability to take on the world. i feel so much better, and i think that that is the key. planes, trains and masks. our pete munteen took just about every type of transportation, and what he found was a whole lot of confusion. >> reporter: we put the new nationwide patchwork of mask on transportation hubs.

going to union station, no mask required. most people here are still wearing masks like verna swan who was boarding our train to philadelphia. >> i just feel like i need to take more precautions than anyone else so -- >> reporter: you're just being careful. >> i am being careful. >> reporter: after monday's sudden end of the federal transportation mask mandate amtrak was among the first to announce that masks are now optional. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> reporter: conductor anthony tisdale tells me he is going maskless of months of wearing one on the job. >> i'm like, yay, took it right off. >> reporter: philly was one of the few major cities to have an indoor mask mandate, but it was just rescinded. it changes a lot so it has been confusing. >> i just feel like i should wear a mask. >> reporter: my trip continued

to the airport. masks were optional unlike the new york city subai system where masks are mandatory. the change happened so bankruptly the sign hasn't been changed yet. during my travels on thursday philadelphia's airport was one of the few requiring masks. >> i think it's confusing. we all need to be on the same pagech. >> reporter: but the airport mask's rule no longer applies the moment you board. >> i'm about to go down the jetway and another change in policy. now we're getting on the plane, the transportation mask mandate is over so i can take my mask off. >> reporter: once seated i did decide to wear a mask. the 32-minute flight back to d.c. was full. it is a new era for travel now governed by personal choice in a patchwork of rules. here at reagan international airport where we landed no masks are required. the point is it's getting harder

and harder to know the local mask rules as you're traveling. two examples, philadelphia international airport just told us the mask rules there are loosening up whereas lax the mask rules are tightening. you can still wear a mask while you're traveling. in fact, the cdc recommends it. kate? >> pete, thank you. out front next, stocks plummeting today as inflation hits home. and that has democrats on edge. s thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ririg from me.♪ this is vuity™, the first and only fda approved eye-drop that improves age-related blurry near vision. wait, what? it snded like you just said an eye drop that may help you see uplose. i did. it's an innovative way to... so, wait. i don't always have to wear reading glasses? yeah! vuity™ helps you see up close. so, i can see up close with just my eyes? uh-huh. with one drop in each eye, once daily.

maintain control over congress a sour mood is hanging over the economy. as inflation looms as a major issue in a national election for the first time since 1980. some blame president biden. >> ever since mr. biden took office everything's been going up. >> reporter: others do not. >> it's a number of things. i wouldn't just blame president biden solely. >> reporter: yet it's a problem he owns. and one of the biggest challenges facing the white house. at this barbecue the owner sees inflation everywhere. >> i love that. >> reporter: from paper goods to cost of meat to how often people are dining out. >> we're not seeing the same amount of traffic that we normally do, and i think that's just a fear of spending with the talk of inflation, inflation, inflation. customers are scared. >> reporter: and as a democrat she's scared of the consequences come november. >> if we can't get out and vote for the mid-terms then all the work we did in 2020 is not really going to matter because

then we're going to have a handicapped president. >> reporter: georgia is also a hot political battleground which biden won in 2020. this year it will help to decide if democrats hold the senate. >> what if i told you shipping container companies have been making record profits while prices have been skyrocketing on you. that's why i'm push to hold them accountable. >> reporter: that message is competing with loud republican criticism. a state senator who turned a suburban district from red to blue and now running for attorney general knows democrats face head winds, but she says republicans have not offered a positive alternative. >> we're still in the middle of a pandemic, right? and so what people do is they respond to how are they feeling, how are their lives, and they're always going to tag the president for that. but, look, we have got a million miles to goal before november. >> reporter: back at the beehive where we first met davis a year

ago she then urged people to give biden time. >> just be patient, like it's coming. everything doesn't happen overnight. folks know that. >> reporter: now she adds this caveat. >> patient but just frustrated. just would like to get the relief we need so we can start operating how we used to. >> reporter: jeff zeleny, cnn, atlanta. >> and thank you for joining us tonight. ac 360 starts now. good evening. in the capitol of kyiv today in ukraine residents were seen at markets buying food, preparing the easter holiday meals and bringing families and communities together. it's also a time to gather and celebrate the hope of salvation. >> translator: the 58th day of our defense is coming to an end. it ends on good friday, one of the most sorrowful day of the year for
