all right now on fox news sunday. logan from fox news in washington. you are looking live for democrats about working through the night to drive their election-year economic package for the final passage been ordered to do so taking a series of rapidfire amendment votes called it's been underway for more than it will likely advice president kamala harris to cast the time working vote is in the package the house of representatives. in the bible's book of democratic senator ben cardin. let's first turn to chat on capitol hill with the latest. >> good morning. democrats will meet all 50 of their senators to pass the bill. so far they have the boat that includes bernie sanders of vermont for he vote yes but sanders will do so grudgingly.

>> i want to take a moment to say a few words about the so-called inflation reduction act that we are debating this evening. when i say so-called by the way because according to cbo, and other economic organizations who have studied this bill, it will in fact have a minimal impact on inflation. >> sanders said the bill includes of the biggest investments ever in clean energy. but he admonishes his colleagues for helping the fossil fuel industry. centers have cast 25 boats throughout the night. most vote-a-rama have 30 or 48 votes and run 15 hours republicans have weapon ice votes against democrats and the voting marathon. the hope is to get democrats on the record taking votes. the hope later today kamala harris will have a tight rigging vote 293rd tie-breaking vote

from vice president in american history. harris' 25th tiebreaker, mike. mike: a chatty party from capitol how many thanks for journeys out democratic senator ben cardin of maryland, thunder welcome back to fox news sunday regards mike good to be with you, thank you. >> sent a rare sunday session in the united states senate. how do you feel about where things stand? >> i'm very optimistic we are going to pass this inflation reduction act that will lower the costs of healthcare prescription drugs for americans. it will help us tilth and bring down the cost of energy and deal with climate issues. i'm very confident have seen discipline over these votes work democrats are stuck together. i am optimistic or have a 50 votes. and with the vice president 51 to pass in the next few hours. mike: for days the entire political class in washington was watching senator's manchin and sinema for moments like this

one, on the senate floor to see if manchin could convince her to get to yes. sinema ultimately asked to kill a key tax provision hears leader chuck schumer on that. >> i believe strongly in the loophole i voted for, i pushed forward i pushed for it to be in this bill. senator sinema said she would not vote for the bill not even move to proceed unless we took it out. so we had no choice. mike: what he say to progress and sync manchin and sinema have too much clout do not reflect the rest of the parties priorities? >> first i would tell them, gives under schumer a lot of credit and the democrats who were able to get 50 of us together on this bill which is the largest investment ever in climate that deals with the affordability of healthcare deals with an energy policy that makes sense for this country. and we did it, paying for it through corporations that have escaped taxation through at her collection of taxes on high income people. reduce the deficit at the same

time. that is quite an accomplishment. yes there are things i would have liked to have seen done that weren't done including in the tax code. but this is a great bill for progressives but the great bill for america. it is a great bill for american families. mike: what about senator manchin's side of our pipeline, is not going to divide democrats? >> it is a compromise. what is done he will be able to get some of the projects that have previously been online to be completed. it is provisions i would prefer not to be in the bill. but when you are making compromises you have to agree on certain things to get of the things accomplished. this is a win for our environment and a win for america clean energy. mike: critics say and even senator manchin once said a recession is wrong time to raise taxes. economists warrant new spending could further aggravate supply chain issues that a benefactor for more than a year, any concerns about that? >> we are not raising taxes and vector reduce the deficit peru

taking money out of the economy. that is good news for the inflation. weird thing with with the cost centers typical families are facing in healthcare and energy costs. so this should be helpful to american families and should be helpful for our economy. it will help instill the inflation. mike: the deal also includes $80 billion to ramp up enforcement at the irs print senate gop mitch mcconnell. >> american families do not want tens of thousands more irs agents. what they would like are more border patrol and iced agents for. >> and i are working hard at improving this very unpopular agency. but center, richer people have accountants and high-powered attorneys. do you worry that ramped up enforcement only end up hurting the middle and working-class americans? >> that you are right i have worked with republicans and democrats to try to modernize the irs. most americans pay their taxes but most americans have their

taxes taken out from their payroll there is never a question of their fair share of taxes. but, for those who have complicated incomes, those who have high incomes, they are the ones escaping brightman estimated $1 trillion leakage in tax collections every year. i think most americans want a level paying playing field they want to pay their taxes without everyone else paying their taxes but this is a fair situation of the irs desperately needs help this build is in the help they need to quickly follow up there. can you understand how 87000 new irs agents would scare dhec out of millions of americans? >> millions of americans are not going to be impacted by that other than getting better service in the irs. their telephone answer, given the questions they need to comply with their tax laws. the auditing is going to be focused with those on high income the large corporations et cetera. there is no reason to be fearful. if you paid your taxes and comply with our laws, you should

want to make sure everyone else does that. mike: made all senate republicans worry about retaliation for this democrat only package. senator lindsey graham tweeting the following, word of advice to those who support this reconciliation deal, if you expect the crt the continuing resolution to deliver a political payoff with 60 votes you might want to rethink. the dissenter schumer just blow all of his capitol? >> let me say this dealing all these bills by reconciliation is not the right way to do it. republicans in 2000 on the tax bill. we are obligated to use this process because we cannot get republicans to work with us on fundamental issues such as energy climate. and healthcare costs. it would be much better if we can have a process where we work together and have the richness of every member participating in the process, bipartisan process. that is what i do in legislation i'd worked at the republicans get to the finish line. that is we did in regards to the

nato session with finland and sweden but that's what we did in regards our veterans. that is we did in regards to the infrastructure bill but that is what we did in regards to the chips and science bill. we have a good record of working together. let's work together for the american people. let's not threaten are going to shut down government or do things that are wrong. let's figure out ways to work together. mike: is a member of the senate foreign relations committee i want you to weigh in on speaker pelosi's trip to taiwan. the president appears to have been on the sidelines here. he basically tried to allow the speaker to make her own decision but said the military did not want her to go. she ends up going than the president takes a lot of heat from the chinese president on a phone call. question is who is driving policy here? >> look, taiwan is an entity we are free to visit at any time. they have that type of autonomy. members of congress have been there many times. speaker pelosi was fully within her right to visit taiwan.

we recognize china and the united states have a different view as to taiwan. but we both should agree that has to be resolved peacefully. china should not use military force against taiwan. >> the white house also reportedly lobbing senators to push back work on a bill democrat bob menendez sponsored that would designate taiwan a major non- nato ally print here's how senator graham responded. >> are trying to water down the bill i've written a senator menendez that would provide more economic aid, more military aid. would create sanctions against china if they cyber attack the democracy in taiwan. so, to me what they are doing is just appeasing and making more aggression likely by being weak. >> says the biden administration need to be more forceful with beijing? >> might, i bitten the senate now for 16 years. i have had a legislation passed both democrat and republican

administrations would have preferred congress not to intercede. we need to provide taiwan with the military support too. we need to make it clear to china that if they use military force there will be severe sanctions. i am and supportive of this legislation. i think at the end of the day were going to pass legislation to strengthen our ties with taiwan. mike: hundred thank you for coming on after all-nighter, we really appreciate it. >> good to be with you mike stay well. mike: was a former un ambassador nikki haley with the buy demonstration to deal with the growing threat with china and keep an eye on the center forward democrats are pushing towards a passage of their long-awaited agenda. that little leaf brought this old photo to life, i can finally put some names to those faces... it's like i'm back there at 39 elmhurst with all these folks.

ancestry can guide you to family discoveries in the 1950 census.

mike: speaker nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan left the biden administration big headache over china as it tries to manage ties with the nation's biggest rival and growing global threat for joining us now former ambassador to the united nations nikki haley, ambassador haley welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thanks for having me, michael. >> let's start with losey's trip to taiwan here's what she had to say. >> now more than ever, america's solidarity with taiwan is crucial. and that is the message we are bringing here today. mike: china has responded aggressively in the days since her visit. too that you said this week quote america needs to show that we will not let beijing's temper tantrum dictate our foreign

policy buried the taiwanese are free people who must not be trampled by the chinese communists. so do you endorse the speaker's trip? what should u.s. policy with china be going forward? >> you know, i do think nancy pelosi was right to go to taiwan. it's a shame biden try to put a wrench of us in military did not want her to go. you know, china's trying to bully us the same way they try to bully their own people. we should not have it. taiwan is an island of 23 million people who have managed to be free for 70 plus years. we should always have the backs of our allies and we should always hold our enemies to account. they are a huge force when it comes to our economy and waited to make sure taiwan knows we are going to be there for them. and so yes i think nancy pelosi should go there and i think we should continue to strengthen taiwan every chance we get. mike: or some expressing concern this is to provocative former senator who is also the ambassador to china under president obama, had this to

say. >> she is speaker, she's not just an ordinary member of congress. what this is doing is pushing the support of democracy a little closer to crossing a line into independence. that is the real problem here. mike: does he have a point as you have any concerns? >> i have watch and try to have a temper tantrum multiple times when things don't go their way paid what you're saying is the congress is going to be meeting soon and present she wants to show his strength. so he is a bullying taiwan. he is trying to pretend there's going to be a war. he's trying to scare them. america should never respond to fear. we should always focus on preventing wars. the way prevent wards as you do not shy away from having the backs of your allies. and let you enemies know what we expect of them for these temper tantrums are childish and they are dangerous and that should not be doing them. the last thing we need to do is run from that. >> if you were in office right now what would you do to help taiwan? ask right now we should send in

the defense equipment that they need. we should give them any training that they need. i wish left the rest of the world know taiwan has been free and they fought communist china for a long time. in trying to infiltrate in there we should stand strongly with them. i think we have to get our allies, india, south korea, japan, all this other countries who believe the same thing, they need to be with us. as long as we do that, china will relay city to back off of. mike: even critical of president biden on china. here he is from may. >> are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? >> yes because you are? >> that is the commitment we have made. >> is that still too soft? >> well, i think first of all taiwan is not asking us to get involved militarily for their asking us to help them with the equipment and asking us to help them defend their's are the cells. look at the world in which we live in but here you have russia sitting there trying to take

over ukraine. they are taking american hostages we got china is trying to bully taiwan and scare the rest of the world into in any way defending taiwan pretty got afghanistan now harboring terrorists that are trying to kill americans by allowing al qaeda back into afghanistan for its been a total mess. what we have seen is biden is run scared from his shadow. we have got start showing strength and preventing wars. we've got to start taking the world back toward an avenue of peace one that runs from any enemy that seems to shout louder but that is we watch biden dupre thanks a terrible mistake and we have to snap out of it pickwick summit follow up on afghanistan the president says this week the u.s. has killed 911 plotter ayman al-zawahri. is that like a cockroach you kill one thousands more ready step into that position? >> you can bet on it. trento was a great when for the

intelligence and biden administration we should always let these tears know we do not forget. you killed thousands of our americans, we are going to hunt you down and make sure we find you. i think that is great. but what this is very telling as if you are standing comfortable and free on a balcony, you can bet there other terrorists all over afghanistan. mark my words, had we never had that blender in afghanistan we would not be having the war you are seeing in ukraine. we would not have al qaeda terrorist sitting there running free in afghanistan. we would not have china showing the arrogance that they are showing over taiwan. this all happened because how america showed weakness. now we have to find our strength and we better get to work and we better get to work soon. mike: this week the senate voted nearly unanimously to vote for nato expansion to include finland and sweden. only one center voted no. here is why he says he voted no.

>> in years past, nato was a bulwark against an imperial soviet union. today, the world's greatest imperial threat is in asia. mike: you've called native the strongest alliance in history was center holly wrong to vote no? >> you know, this is what i will tell you. you have to be able to balance multiple balls at the same time buried what you are looking out with nato, it has been with the strongest alliances in history. and what i want to share with americans is, you are looking at an alliance that has been incredibly strong. finland and sweden make that alliance even stronger. finland is very strong militarily. but think about this, we have never had to defend a nato country in the history of its alliance. the only time they have ever had to use their defense forces was after 911 when we asked them too. and all of nato went to afghanistan in defense of us. so there is a reason that when you look at who russia has invaded in the past, they have

invaded georgia for they have invaded more adobo. they have invaded ukraine the countries outside of nato that's what they go after countries a weakness for this alliance is strong. this alliance need to stay strong. that is white russia staying away from it. we have to also remember we never take our eyes off of china for china's writer trying to gavel up as much agricultural land as they can, look at what they are doing. they are putting cables in rural areas they just bought land near north dakota strong air force base at the big military drone technology hub that's we have more of her military communications globally. we have to start being smart and be able to handle multiple threats at the same time not take one at a time for quick thoughts talk russia by the u.s. has offered a substantial proposal to free basketball star brittney griner and businessman was at a flawed approach the u.s. showing its hand to early? >> well, the idea at russia's taking american hostages is

something we need to take seriously. and certainly we want to make sure we get those two home. it's important. but what i will tell you this is the wrong way to go about doing it. when you start to get into prisoner swaps, this is not a russian hockey player we are talking about they want to swap. this is a russian arms dealer that was given terrorist weapons to kill americans. make no mistake, that is dangerous. and if you do this prisoner swap, this is letting russia now and every enemy we have no get as many american hostages as you can because that is how will get over terrorists back home. that is not the way to do it but we need to get these two americans home, but you do not do with prisoner swaps of people that are trying to kill americans. mike: . 202040 but asked before whether you will run for president. if former president trump does not, here's what you had to say it last year. >> i would not run if president trump ran. and i would talk to him about it for that something we will have a conversation about at some

point if that decision is something that has to be made. mike: given revelations that generate six hearing this summer that president trump still encourage the crowd to go to the capitol generally six, even though he knew some of them were armed, the fake elect doors plan was illegal and he still put pressure on vice president pence at the time. does that give you any cause for concern? should he not rented 2024? >> well, think president trump will decide for himself if he wants to run again. the generate six has been a biased committee from the start without anyone pushing back on any of the information they have. it is very hard for americans to trust it. what i will tell you is look, there's a place for me, i look at the craziness in the world, look at what is happening with this will cultures in our schools when your kids to decide their gender by look at the fact we've got men playing women's sports by look at the fact we have got our military focused on gender pronoun classes, what i will tell you is we need to snap

out of it. this is absolute craziness proof that entered enemies trying to come after us in america has been naïve. it has been a week and has been asleep at the wheel. i am just saying sometimes it takes a woman and margaret factor said if you want something said, ask a man. if you want something done ask a woman. we should not take her eyes off of 2022 but if we do not win in 2022 there will not be a 2024. we need to stay humble, disciplined and a win that. and if there's a place for me i've never lost a race i'm not going to start now but we'll see what happens a go forward. we need to get america strong again. we need to start focusing on our foreign policy and away we haven't done any while. we're going to need to focus on for the next 20 years. we need to bring sanity back toward domestic policies. we need to start fighting for americans again fighting for their wallets, fighting for their children's education but fighting for opportunities and making sure we get back on track but i will do whatever i can to make that happen. mike: sound like there's a chance in 2024.

have you spoke to your donors about this potential plans? >> we have spoken to our donors about helping win in 2022. we were in georgia for herschel walker. we were in wisconsin for ron johnson and rebecca clay fish. we're going back for brian cap purdy going to be in pennsylvania. we have endorsed over 50 candidates. we are campaigning, we are fundraising fit over for a half million dollars into their campaign accounts. we're going to fight to win paid but let me remind you an americans, mike, winning is half the battle. proving they deserve to be there when they went as the other half of the battle. we expect every person that is elected in november, they should fight on their first day but they should not wait until 2024. we need to see congress putting bills on joe biden's desk. he cannot veto everything but a sin of jumping on tv biting and showing rhetoric moved to start seeing congress get something done. the american people are tired of seeing what's happening at the border. they are tired of seeing crime on our streets for they are tired of seeing an economy and runaway spending for let's get to work we've got to do that for

americans right now. mike: ambassador haley thank you for your time today. >> thanks so much, mike baker expected the action capitol holes to watch latest on the democrats deal and how it could impact inflation. we will ask our sunday group with all the presidents to policy victories, the party still faces doubts.

>> now that our meetings parliamentarian have largely concluded, we have the bill before second when the support of all 50 democrats. mike: senate majority leader chuck schumer price in effect all members of his party agreed to massive spending bill after more than a year quibbling about it. at the debate continues on the senate floor it's time now for our sunday group white house correspondent for usa today francesca chambersburg former dnc communications director, former rnc communication directors, doug and correspondent, welcome to all of you. so let's start with your day job, capitol hill. big day on the hill part what is

a state of play? >> day job i was not up all night, thanks to chad and mcculloch staying up all night letting me go to sleep. we are watching this vote-a-rama go on pretty started at 11:00 p.m. tonight last night. we are expecting a final vote in the next hour or so. and look, republicans are trying to not only slowed on the process is much as they can. think lindsey graham said make this for democrats. do not be fooled, they're not going to walk away and empty-handed. they are getting as much midterm ammo as possible but putting democrats -- having them taking uncomfortable votes. the democrats, i think obviously they do passes which they will as expected, this will be a win. but my question is i think francesca can speak to this is how big of a win? did they go far enough? does it make the base happy? particularly progressives.

and on top of that i would go further and ask, did this process this year end half long process do more harm to the party than it did good? at the end of the day we saw a lot of interparty fighting for a lot of name-calling publicly on twitter, on the steps of the capitol, on tv. and we sought the president, the leader of this party someone who has many years of senate experience, some it is supposed to be the dealmaker who even called him your piece this morning. and he did not turn out to be that. this is not happening because of him. i think several people in the democratic party feel a little let down, looking for leadership in the present did not really get it. >> oh francesca i've done some reporting on this thing democrats up a point on the board in the recent weeks anybody would say. it sounds like the progressives, a lot are not happy where it stands for. >> democrats to say the president is on a hot streak with this. but when you talk to activists, boaters, progressive lawmakers,

they do want to see more from president biden for they really want to see him test the limits of his executive authority and the way his predecessors have it when it comes to issues like immigration, the former president, president donald trump, he was repeatedly using executive power on immigration read president obama, he e-cigs executive power to greet the doctor program. what progressives would like to present biden dualistic action hot issues and more such as abortion rights for abortion is the number one issue for democrats heading into the election going to wait us usa today polling. one thing they like to see them do for the president order public health emergency on abortion for the white house said that would not unlock additional federal authority or something progressives have been pushing aggressively for the president to do. quicksort doug is our resident republican but how will the gop respond? >> there should be, should focus everyday on inflation.

any data, any issue that's not what people are paying at the pump, the gas station, grocery stores and restaurants, was a missed opportunity for them for it but we have seen in kansas is democrats being able to reframe the conversation a little bit talk about what they went to different politics you want to talk about your issue and have your opponent talk about your issue. you do not want talk about your opponents issue that's what republicans seem to be any time there talk anything other than inflation may be rising crime immigration, they are losing the battle. arthel: this comes the white house a fallout with speaker pelosi's trip to taiwan what about that? >> been following this i would call bizarre turn of events happening on live tv. we went from the president on camera after strip telling reporters the military did not believe this was a good idea. did not get a follow-up answer as to who in the military hue in the dod told him that. and speaker pelosi feeling a little taken aback when she was asked about the president's

comments and said she never really heard from the president directly. i think that was a fair question to ask senator cardin who is leading on foreign policy or because were not getting even today after she's gone to taiwan and left, we do not know yet if the white house and the president support that. if they really felt like that was a good idea. arthel: aren't let's bring moe in here. despite some democratic when some veteran democrats do not sound happy. here's congressman carolyn maloney this week. >> should present biden run again in 2024? >> i don't believe is running for reelection. >> in here is how she tried to cleanup on aisle three. >> mr. president, i apologize but i want you to run i happen to think you won't be running but when you run or if you run, i will be there one 100%. you have deserved it, you are a great president. >> what went on behind the scenes? >> this is not hard.

this should be the easiest thing. look, joe biden has said is running for reelection there's no reason to believe he doesn't mean that. things might change but there's no reason to believe they will. democrats have a democratic president and the white house. the president who is on a bit of a hot streak. president is getting things done. and, a president who is consistent. he is for the center of gravity is within the democratic party. he may be inconsistent with the center of gravity with the twitter activist in some of the most progressive activists. but he is where the majority of the actual party is. so all of this hemming and hawing, it makes no sense to me. receipt the dnc punted on the early 2024 primary calendar, obviously recent cycles it is been iowa, the new hampshire. what does the president want?

what does the white house what do they want to lead off with delaware? >> full disclosure i sit on the rules and bylaws committee at the dnc where we are. we are take a look at the calendar i have not heard anything from the white house publicly on what they would like to see with the calendar. but the committee set out at the beginning of the cycle to say hey look, we are not going to stand on tradition were not going to stand on the way things have always been done for the sort things we would like to see in the early primary window. we like to see more diversity. we would like to see more inclusiveness. would like to see more battleground states in the process. so they just threw the doors open to any state who wanted to apply. i think you're going to see some changes a democratic cyber republicans look like they're going to stick with a count the way they've always had it. i think you will see some changes on the democratic side and those decisions will be made right after the midterms. >> mo i think it is safe to say

des moines is on find one in manchester's online too? >> the case and prevents swag bags to committee members when they came in to do their pitches. and i appreciate them both. but we will see what happens. six okay thanks panel part will take a quick break here. cap next for president donald trump other possible or present contenders take the stage. as a victory for abortion rate in a red state suggests a change in the landscape

took place as we can in dallas prints one of the nation's gatherings of conservatives in the country.

the focus is on the message for midterms over 2024 candidates to land on the ballot. let's turn to jeff live in dallas, jeff byrd. >> my comment results of the straw poll are in. former president donald trump still the most favored person for potential 2024 presidential run. he had it by a wide margin well ahead of florida's governor ron desantis. voters turned dallas said that is not a surprise. >> i am thrilled to be back. >> this any lingering doubt regarding who controls favor among conservatives in the u.s., the pictures make crystal clear in dallas saturday night for. >> cert you won the straw poll is at a better damn when the straw poll parker conservatism runs are from president donald trump. voters went to arizona as proof or as clean sweep of republicans endorsed by trump primary content to go buy former tv

anchor cary lake who is running for governor. >> well, we wonder. >> doe establishment is like their act together liquid see 10,000 more pop up. as we near midterms key issues are taking shape. the overturning of roe the waitress let's wake voters in kansas voted to protect abortion rights. because i don't think the left has a monopoly of turning out bars on rove he waited in the right will turn out voters because of that too. ask the nurse what happened on january 6 and the hearings that followed, could that spell trouble for conservative voters? >> we have kind of had enough. i think that was a bad day in history. but we have moved past it records many voters say it comes down to one issue though, the economy. >> got these big social issues. we sought to put food on the table for kids. lexi straw poll also asked attendees about their most

important issues, number one, election integrity followed by immigration, and then energy independence, mike. six jeff paul reporting from dallas, many thanks are back out there panel. doug is resident republican. with a president mean the headliner pretty one the straw poll. who is see pacs audience at this point? >> the niche within the party. some of the broad republican party. trump us to the alpha dog of the party but some of the endorsed win some don't. we are seeing is a diminishment but a small one small erosion for that is what ron and nikki haley who sure was not coy about what she might want to do in the coming months, starting to step up and do more and more vocal. mike: pro-life advocacy a major theme but pro-choice win and your home state of kansas this week, how big of a deal?

>> democrats and republicans are telling me not to blow this out of proportion. was one state abortion was literally on the ballot the big ballot measure but that does not necessarily translate two wins in the cycle. both are some states look at ballot measures in michigan for instance you could see a portion on the ballot in michigan. there is a major gubernatorial race taking place thereto. it is something that could drive both parties voters to the ballot box. but overall, voters are most concerned about the economy. there very concerned about inflation. but abortion rights also in the top three issues. arthel: how does this change the calculus of republicans and the midterms? i really sure on the other side of the aisle but your thoughts on what this means? >> there's a reason might doug salih's partisan message guys in the republican party and earlier saying if republicans are laser like focus on inflation it should be a good year for them.

luckily for democrats, most republican canids are not listening to doug right now. [laughter] that is why you and i are on tv. >> exactly. the fact is more and more of the candidates were being nominated in these republican primaries are more focused on issues like election to nihilism. celebrating in the streets when the decision came down and said they were going to drive more restrictive measures on abortion whatever offices they want. they're focusing on the issues that you heard. you are not seeing a lot of panels on inflation but you are seeing on the 2020 election. whether it was stolen. you're not seeing big fat leaders speaking on delivering a conservative economic message so victor as the keynote. the base of the party right now, i agree with doug, is not

reflective of work most of the party is. the fact is, in kansas i don't know if you should read too much into it. but 20% of republicans voted with the democrats and the independence to protect abortion rights. there is a big centrist coalition out there but it feels like democrats are speaking more to them for the not speaking to the democratic phase there speaking more to them or us republicans are speaking to the crowd might end up being the ones a little bit more out of stepper. >> electorate is how that why think of kristine o'donnell, sharon ingle, richard murdock, todd a could wouldn't have in common? they win the nomination and lost they've left for seats on the table in the past ten or 12 years but mitch mcconnell is very fearful of some of republican candidates and gubernatorial candidates doing the same thing. mike: will be follow-up energy over abortion is that cost

republicans have house seats? senate seats or government entering governor races? >> governor races the when you start to look at the other whites it's hard to extrapolate kansas affecting a particular congressional race. but it is the larger conversation but as we have the trigger laws with other measures on the belt republicans if you are not talk but inflation, you are losing your message for. >> one thing i will say, the one thing you can look at kansas and really take note of wesley turnouts, right? you saw presidential level turnout in a primary where there was really no big at democratic primary going on. >> new voters. >> the energy has shifted a bit. >> no doubt in kansas you did see a conservative rural counties in some cases 40% of people voting no on that ballot measure pretty want to come back to the point you made, doug, about these untested candidates. the concern i'm hearing from actavis is when republicans are not prepared to talk about

abortion, but you could come into instances where you run into races that should have been safe seats or competitive seats republicans and then caddis make missteps they were not prepared to define their position on the issue. midterms will all be about president biden and inflation. let's play a clip from senator john kennedy and the great state of louisiana. >> i think the majority of americans right now are thinking to themselves, republicans are not perfect. but the other side is crazy. i think that we reflected in the elections. aishah he seems confident but are they behind closed doors? >> i don't think there confident publicly or privately review spoke to mitch mcconnell right here in this room, i don't think you hear confidence by think he is preparing everyone for that worst-case scenario. saying he wasn't sure they were going to be able to take back

the senate. i think it is a baffling when all you need is to flip one state for you for a flip of both states and your sink trump backed candidates not doing well. take pennsylvania for example, dr. oz is trailing behind fetterman when he had the entire space to campaign freely because fetterman was recovered from a stroke, did not take advantage of that. don't enjoy adducing the same thing with herschel walker trailing behind as well. i think republicans privately know what the problem is and they know it is these candidates. i think publicly they continue to endorse, to support and campaign for these candidates. at the end of the date the candidates cannot win you cannot just point the finger at trial. they're going to point the fingers at each other two. mike: may know that ron desantis governor of florida out with a pretty slick add, we are tight on time, doug. your thoughts on what this means about his 2024 ambitions? >> he's ready to go all he wants

to here's what donald trump's going to do or not do. donald trump makes a decision. if he announces the first person announces the first person and donald trump sites. i would not advise any republican to be that person. mike: right thanks panel, see you next sunday put up next on the road to the midterms in wyoming or stop by frontier days to find out what voters think about the uphill reelection battle for it lives at cheney. >> that is going to be a really interesting election right there for. >> at cheney at least has some ground to stand on for. >> i am all for new blood, new ideas requests i wouldn't vote for cheney sometimes you have to pick the lesser of the two
