listen, character is something that's extremely important, and this herschel walker character, we want to have a national ban -- but apparently, it seems like you paid for multiple abortions, or you've been accused of such by people. we're talking about character in terms of issues. pride is not a big deal, we had a lot of notice going into the election last week, but right now we've been looking for the issue, when that can motivate people. especially if the appeal is heard by the judge sometimes in. >> all, right fred, thank you very much. we appreciate it. that is all in on this -- good evening, ali. >> that is "all in on this wednesday night. "alex wagner is up >> thank you for joining us for the next hour. alex has the night off tonight nbc news is projecting

that republicans will take control of the house of representatives next year. nbc news now projects that when all the votes are counted, republicans will hold 221 seats in the next congress with a margin of error of mr minus two this will translate into a single digit of majority. no one expected the election would be this close. or that the republican majority would be so slime in a year wh forecastersa predicted much larger republican gains. and part of the reason for this slimhi majority was an unexpect number of endangered house democrats whong beat back republican challenges and democrats who won races in unexpected place. to understand how and why this happened, we have to go back to last year, g specifically the d before valentine's day last year. it was a sunday. but congress was still in session. because that was the day that househa impeachment managers we

concluding the case against donald trump for inciting a violentit insurrection that too place five weeks earlier on january 6. it looked like they were about to be finished when -- in fact, it w looked like all the argumes were done. going to move on to the final senate vote over whether or not to convict donald trump when jamie raskin dropped this bombshell. >> last night congresswoman jamieni herrera butler of washington state issued a statement confirming that in the middle of the insurrection when house minority leader kevin mccarthy called the president to beg for help, president trump responded, and i quote, well, kevin, q i guess these people a more upset about the election than you are. we would like the opportunity to subpoena congresswoman herrera regarding her communications with house minority leader kevin mccarthy and subpoena her

contemporaneous notes she made regarding what president trump told kevin mccarthy in the middle of the insurrection. >> the house impeachment managers wanted to call her to be ana witness in their case against donald trump.ai congresswoman herrera-butler is one of the ten republican members of the house who had voted to impeach donald trump just a few weeks earlier. she sh good reason. to as you heard, congressman raskin say, there herrera-butler was a witness to donald trump siding with the capitol rioters over kevin mccarthy while the attack was still underway. in the end, the house impeachment manager didn't call herrera-butler to be a witness. they entered into the written statement describing what she heard donald trump say. and later this same day, donald trump wasr acquitted in the senate and the impeachment trial ended. it wasal not over for republica congresswoman jamie herrera-butler.

about a income her home districe in washington state, local republicans voted to censure her for having the audacity to tell the truth about what she heard that day. and former president trump made it his mission to make sure that herrera-butler did not stay in congress. trump opposed her in her republican primary and endorsed this guy joe kent. joe kent. election denier. he claimed the january 6 attack looked like an intelligence operation. he called the january 6 rioters political prisoners. he vowed if elected to congress that he would investigate and defund both the fbi and the justice department. here's something interesting. many democrats decided to pounce on this opportunity. they thought kent was a vulnerable opponent. some made the decision to vote for kent in washington's jumbled primary system. to help elevate an election

denier to a top two finish in the hopes of later defeating him in the general election.en as a result, democratic candidate marie perez and joe kent advanced to the midterm elections ending jamie herrera-butler's six term run in congress. joe kent later lost the election in that district to perez, an auto shop owner. as the seattle times wrote, where kent rewrote the history of thero january 6 attack on th capitol, perez talked about apprenticeship and job training. kent wanted to prosecute anthony fauci, kent wanted a national abortion ben, perez said she wanted to protect abortion rights and gun rights. the polling data website gave her just a 2% chance of winning

that election. now perez is headed to congress. we saw similar thing happen in michigan's third district. peter t meyer lost the primary race to a trump back election denier. that trump backed election denier won to the democrat. if there is any question that donald trump played in those victories, look at what happened in california. this is another republican that voted to impeachr trump over january 6 but unlike many of the others congressman valday yoe did not lose the primary race. and nbc news has yet to call that race. right now with half the votes in, valadao is leading his democratic opponent by five points n district after district, trump backed challengers lost their races to democratic candidates who defied expectations with smart campaigns. even when the polls and the

parties had all been counted them out. those newly elected democrats charted a path for others to follow now that trump announced candidacy. joining us now is congresswoman elect perez. thank you for being here. were you surprised? i was here in this very room with steve kornacki when we called theck race for you. it was described as an upset. it was an unexpected win. was it unexpected to you? >> i would not describe it as unexpected. i know the district. i live here. i'm a fifth generation washingtonian. this is a district that has a proud history of sending independents to congress. in our poll shows that many democrats voted the primary with

jamie herrera-butler to support her impeachment vote. i underperformed actually in the primary substantially. in our district, we had many americans who are standing up for the middle of the road. that's what we're known for in southwest fowashington. and that's part of what made joe kent's race so improbable and so miscalculated. >> this is interesting. you hiunderperformed and a lot democrats vote ford jamie herrera-butler. your path to victory, that article i quoted from describes, is kind of like an escape room. you had lots of little clues to tell you how to campaign and how to succeed. when you say you're not surprised, it's on the basis of a bunch of little things you saw that joe kent was improbable. that jamie herrera-butler did appeal to independence and some democrats. and that you knew that the issues that you would campaign onu would be appealing to your constituents. >> that's right. i mean, i think we're all hungry

for a congress that looks more like america and people that want to fix things in our country. build bridges, not burn them down. and, you know, i really respect the principled stance congressman herrera-butler took in her vote. i got in the race to stand up against the political extremes. and that's why i'm so proud to have seen the district, you know, we were outspent 40-1 in the primary. that is part of the equation here. so manyqu moderate independents and democrats really got behind us and propelled us to the front of the race. >> i know you didn'tro mean it a cliche. you actually fix things. that's right. we're an independent auto shop. we fix cars of middle america.id people just trying to get to work.

whose emergency funds are going to be wiped out by petty crime. this is what, you know, frankly, a hot ofkn america looks like right now. >> so you had an opponent that was a conspiracy -- an election denier. one thing that republicans used against democrats in this past election, two things really, inflation issue and culture wars. you know one of them very well. obviously inflation is something you deal w you're a small business owner. nobody environment gertsbu a bi forbo repairing their car that they think is the right amount or not twice or three times as much as they want. you didn't get drawn into culture wars. tell me howwn you skirted these issues. >> just talking about what matters to lkpeople. i think we're all really tired of the political agenda being setge by twitter. we want good schools. we want to have the cops show up when we call them. i had my building broken in four times this year.me that gets expensive. he can't afford to keep going

down this road of polarization. our kid need an america that has a level playing field for small businesses, for public schools and homeownership. all that stuff deeply matters for a d long term economic heal andec health of our democracy.ou >> tell me about the issues now. you are not going to be part of thein majority. but you come there with a deep understanding ofit the issues. innation and thehe economy continue to be the top issue fot people. you deal with both of them. you deal with the fact that we have low unemployment. rising wages. it's part of the reason people repair cars that otherwise they would get rid of or do something else. what do you want to seer done that you got -- you stand a stronger chance and democrats stand a stronger chance versus republicans in the house in 2024? >> i'm here to be advocate for middle america. one of the bleeding edge of that is something is right to repair

laws. laws that give consumers an shops like mine people that own iphones, home medical equipment, the ability to fix their own stuff, people that work in the trades to have a level playing field. avoid electronic elwaste. those are critical issues. and part of that is ensuring we support career and technical education. i'm part of the generation where the best trade schools got turned into computer programming schools. i don't know how many computer programmers you hired last week. i bet many on the wait list for a electrician, carpenter, plumber swreshgs to do the work it takes in the long term to bring back the trades in america. >> so do you think you can -- you can get these discussions prioritized in this polarized world where decisions are made open twitter and things are culture wars? everything you're saying should

be music to every american's ears regardless of where they are on the political spectrum, right? these are the things that are going to solve our economic problems. do you know enough about the process to a think that you cou prioritize these things in your caucus? >> yeah. listen, i didn't run for congress assuming i would't be the majority. i mean, i was clear that it takesea bipartisanship to be effective in congress. and it ought to. so i think the sort of binary thinking of like are they in control, we have to walk away from that. we have to walk away from being cheerleaders for our party and being advocates for our district. that's why i'm vohere. that's why people sent me and not a better funded candidate to congress. it's about finding people that are working in swing districts and not stand behind party leadership. >> what happens when republicans get the message that came

through your election and don't put up joe kent or jamie herrera-butler. you are confident you would have that race? >> i didn't get in this race to beat jamie herrera-butler, i will tell you that much.uc my real hope in running this race is that it's not about me as an individual candidate. but it's as clear message to both parties, frankly, to stop going out and finding candidates that can self fund and find candidates who work for a w living. you know, work in the trades that have grease under their finger nails and worry about making mortgage payments and are not out buying new cars all theh time. people that really want to fix stuff. it's going to take grassroots work from both political parties to do that work. >> i want to ask you one thing. you use twitter judiciously. you're not looking for at which time twitter fate. you said we need to take a real

hard look at politics now. >> we had a lot of timber issues that i think alienated democrats in rural communities. i'm a fifth generation -- come from five generation of loggers inra washington state. and my sense is that so many democrats come into rural communities with post graduate degrees and try to explain stuff to us. that gets really old really quick. in rural communities, we know stuff thatom those folks don't. and i think it takes listening and not assuming you know how to fix our problems with without understanding what the realms problems are. i actually get my internet from a radio tower. i'm surera i'm the only member congress that doesn't have broadband internet at home. i'm tired of having people try to fix my problems without listening to me about what my problems really are. >> congresswoman elect, thank you for joining us tonight. thank you for telling us about your roadk to victory. the congresswoman elect from

washington's third congressional district. thank you for making time. >> we have much more to come. next, elizabeth warren joins us to discuss the bipartisan vote by the senate that puts the country closer to codifying same-sex marriage. and the response to donald trump's announcement was so lackluster his own followers were desperate to leave the room but they were not allowed to. we'll have details ahead. e not o we'll have details ahead we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell

all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! come on, guys! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com.

well, we fell in love through gaming. but now the internet lags and it throws the whole thing off. when did you first discover this lag? i signed us up for t-mobile home internet. ugh! but, we found other interests. i guess we have. [both] finch! let's go! oh yeah! it's not the same. what could you do to solve the problem? we could get xfinity? that's actually super adult of you to suggest. i can't wait to squad up. i love it when you talk nerdy to me. guy, guys, guys, we're still in session. and i don't know what the heck you're talking about.

three fifths of the senators sworn voting in the affirmative, the motion is agreed to. >> the motion is agreed to. today the united states senate moved one step closer to passing the respect for marriage act. it's a land mark bill that would provide federal protection for same sex marriages. a procedural vote. the fact that bill cleared this initial hurdle shows that it's got a good chance of becoming a law. 62-37. senate democrats needed ten of their republican colleagues to vote with them to break a filibuster. and begin debate on the bill. in the end, 12 republicans joined them. refreshing and dare say inspiring to see this level of bipartisanship in washington. republicans voting with democrats in the house and now senate to get something like

this done. it should be celebrated. beyond that, this is a big deal for civil rights and equality in this country. hugely relevant in the wake of the supreme court's june decision to overturn roe v. wade. a precedent that most americans believed was safe until it collapsed. since the collapse of roe, we have seen a steady erosion of abortion rights with full bans in 13 states and major restrictions in four others. and justice clarence thomas in his opinion on roe was not bashful when he suggested that the court could, quote, reconsider the rulings on a number precedence including same-sex marriage. it's a major step to move the needle forward. joining us is senator elizabeth warren. thank you for being with us tonight. >> thank you. it's good to be with you.

>> senator, let's talk about this. 62-37. it is a procedural vote. it doesn't always go the same way in the final vote. but this now looks like it is actually on its way to becoming a law. tell me your thoughts on this. this is not exactly codifying same sex marriage. it basically says the federal government has to respect marriage that was performed in the state it was performed in. >> that's right. now we built a safety net xas the extremist supreme court decides to overrule the laws that say that case law that say that we're going to respect marriage whoever you love. but another thing that this does that really is terrific is it gets rid of an old federal law, i say old, 20 years old, called the defense of marriage act.

it says marriage is between one man and one woman. and so a nice piece of this is to say we're putting that behind us. and we're building a net towards respecting all people whoever you love we're goingto respect your marriage. >> does it say anything to you about bipartisanship that were republicans involved but as co-sponsors to this bill. is this just because of the specific issue? or does this -- should this be a harbinger? is this a canary in a very good coal mine that something may happen in the senate? >> as you know, a single incident does not make a trend line. i would love to see it repeated again and again. but i really do feel like on this one there is something very special about it. and that americans across this country have lived with equal

marriage for a long time now. i come from massachusetts where we were the first state in the union to recognize equal marriage. across the political spectrum, people saying what is right, it's right. two people that love each other can get mayor aid and be treated with respect. i love this moment. >> is there a modelling here for abortion? we've seen abortion questions, ballot measures now in several states. they have succeeded regardless who have put them on and how they were worded. that leads some people to think that maybe there is a voter inspired set of protections for abortions. do you see a parallel or possibility there? >> i see one parallel. and that is the -- very large majority of americans believe in equal marriage and very large majority of americans believe in

access to abortion. the differences -- let's do one more. we have a supreme court that doesn't believe in either one of those. and a supreme court that says it is their opinion that should matter, not the opinions of the american people, not what it is that we want. legislatively, it is the case now that you could never -- i don't think, we can get an abortion ban in place. but, boy, there is an aggressive fight back. you saw that lindsey gram proposed a nationwide ban on abortion. so it seems to me that on abortion, it is still at this moment much more hotly contested notwithstanding the fact that the evidence from people across this country overwhelmingly says access to abortion should be a protected right. it is part of health care. it is part of economic self-determination.

it is part of having control over one's own life. boy, we're still getting a lot of push back from the republicans on that. >> it is note worthy that nobody got on lindsey graham's bus with that suggestion. republicans, someone described it to me as, you know, the fall of roe not being the dog that caught the car but the dog that slammed into the car. and it is not -- it does not turn out to be winning proposition for republicans. >> yeah. it is true. and i think a larger message here about doing the things that the american people would like to see us do. i think the access to abortion is one of those. i think the economic measures we take. i think when we voted for the inflation reduction act and we actually put in place $35 insulin cap or said that billionaire corporations are going to have to pay a minimum tax. those are also things that are

very, very popular. and that is one of the reasons that democrats did so much better in the midterms than any of the pundits and washington insiders and even pollsters predicted. >> let's talk about georgia. this thing is not over yet. >> yep. >> there were a lot of people who thought republicans would be less invested in particularly herschel walker if this was not about the balance of power in the senate. there are a lot of democrats who think they should be more invested in warnock at this moment in order to get some of the things you just talked about done because 50/50 senate does not give progressive priorities the priority that someone like you would hope that they would have. >> look, i very much hope that warnock wins his re-election. but the number one reason for that is because he is a good and decent man.

i sit near rafael in the senate. the i watch him day after day as he fights for the people of georgia. he fights for what is right. he's one of the people who led the battle to try to get a $35 cap on insulin costs for seniors. one of the people who led the battle to make sure that health insurance was more affordable and to get cuts in the cost of health insurance. rafael is a man who lives his values every single day. and he brings that to the united states senate. and so i'll just be honest, it is the number one reason that i hope he is re-elected. he is a good man. georgia will be well serve served. >> let's talk about donald trump. he declared he is running for president in 2024. he had a lackluster launch to

that campaign last night. apparently people at the exits trying to get out. there were conservative outlets that did not indicate their support for him. there was a competing network across the road that kept dipping out of the announcement, something that people would never do in the past. is it your analysis that donald trump is losing some of his luster and his hold on the remember party and the country? we beat him in 2020 and 2022 and we can beat him again in 2024 if he is the nominee. i have given up when republicans will finally turn away from donald trump. no, i mean that. shoot, i'm one of the people that backed when he said the things he said after charlottesville i thought republicans are at least going to start distancing themselves from him. i was wrong. i thought for sure that when all

that came out the first time he was impeached that there be would republicans who would distance themselves. i was wrong. this is surely the case that there is no republicans in elected positions and leadership who will still stand with donald trump. and, again, obviously that, was not the case. so, you know, he seems to keep coming back. there seems to be some on going love affair between donald trump and republican leadership that i genuinely do not understand. i just -- i just do not understand how this country can embrace a man like this. >> you and a lot of the country remain confused. thank you for being with us. >> good to see you. take care. >> democrat from massachusetts. >> all right. when we come back, the trump announcement that was supposed to be, we were just discussing, the most important day in american history. according to him.

only it wasn't. even the maga crowd tried to leave but couldn't. with the election over, the georgia prosecutors investigation of donald trump moves into high gear. we'll be talking about that when we come back as well. we'll be talking about that when we come back as well psst! psst! with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary. flonase sensimist provides non-drowsy, 24-hour relief. in a scent free, gentle mist. psst! psst! flonase. all good.

before he gave his announcement speech. he declared it would be one of the most important days in the history of our country. last night though fox news appeared not to share that assessment. rather, they kept cutting away from it. over and over again. >> remember, i sent to -- do you remember ongala? nobody is remembering her now. >> if jur you're just joining us, president trump announcing his 2024 run. we'll go back to the speech in just a moment. >> president trump continues to speak. he spoke now almost for about 57 minutes or so. 2024 is off and running. we'll dip back in. >> billy the kid got almost done. jesse james, no. eric trump got more subpoena -- >> we'll go back to president

trump when news warrants. >> fox never did cut back to the former twice impeached insurrectionist former president. trump's announcement speech was so long that crowds started forming at the exits it in the back of the room. security had already told everyone that no one could leave before the president made his own exit. now that detail about folks trying to leave which was originally report bid abc news, that detail on its own would be one thing. but look who ran with it. conservative outlets like the washington examiner made headlines out of it, mocking the president they used to adore. it was shocking this morning to see how many conservative outlets dumped on and down played trump's speech. he was the front page of "the new york post" today, referring to trump's declaration he's running for president of the united states as just, quote, florida man makes announcement. a story buried deep in the paper on page 26. here's the editorial board response from the conservative national review.

the headline simply reads, no with a period after it. pretty amazing watch the same conservative media that fawned over trump's move turn on him. it's more mazing that they're not alone. today axiot reported the mega donor, one of the co-founders of the private equity firm blackstone ditched trump. quote, time for the republican party to turn to a new generation of leaders. and then tonight cnbc reported that another gop mega donor, ronald lauder, he, too, ditched trump. that makes three gop mega donors dropping trump in the past two weeks. as for the former president's support within the leadership of the republican party itself, today was a rough day for trump. >> it's a free country. he announced intentions when he desires. i honestly believe that we'll have better choices come 2024.

i don't think anybody -- >> better choice thanksgiving donald trump? >> i do. >> the way i'm going to go into this presidential primary is to stay out of it. i don't have a dog in that fight. >> i don't have dog in that fight. the leader of the republicans saying he doesn't have a dog in the fight of the leadership of his own party and endorsing hypothetical candidates that have not announced they're running overendorsing trump, the guy that chose him. as for the republican leader in the house, kevin mccarthy, reporters swarmed him asking for an announcement. so today has been brutal for the former president. you think without the conservative press on his side, without big money, gop donors on his side, without the leadership of the republican party on his side, you'd think he could at least turn to his own family, right? think again. this is the instagram story post bid ivanka after the speech. i love my father very much.

people's minds moving to 2024. donald trump announced his third run for president yesterday. likely to dpet ahead of any

potential candidate and part of a strategy to get ahead of the legal jeopardy he is facing over his actions in the aftermath of the 2020 race including in georgia where just yesterday the governor re-elected brian kemp testified before a special grand jury in fulton county. audio of a call between then president trump and the georgia secretary of state leaked to the public. and we learned that lame duck president asked the top elections official in that state to find 11,780 votes which would be just one more vote than the 11,779 margin he lost by. they have been conducting a criminal investigation since

2021 in that call and other efforted by the former president and allies to subvert the vote in georgia. investigation appeared to come to a halt but it moved into full swing this week in addition to hearing from brian kemp yesterday. the grand jury heard from hutchison today. after trying hard to avoid doing so, south carolina senator lindsey graham is slated to testify before the grand jury next week and former house newt gingrich the week after. lawyers indicated they're going to try to block that from happening. mark meadows has also been ordered by a court to testify at the end of the month but timing on that could change. how might the wrapping up of special grand jury proceedings in georgia affect the former president turned 2024 presidential candidate? about a year ago the brookings institution released a report with the known facts of the investigation in georgia,

gathered from publicly available evidence. they published a second edition of that this week saying that trump is at substantial risk of criminal prosecution in fulton county. joining us now is the author, one of the authors of that report. she is the former district attorney of decap county georgia next to fulton county. she has known the d.a. for years. thank you for joining us this evening. >> my pleasure. thank you for having me. >> so for we lay people that don't know anything about the grand juries and prosecutions, on the basis of everybody who testified so far, the information that we know publicly, how close do you think da willis is to completing her investigation? >> well, i think there is some reports that she's looking to make some final decisions by the end of the year. and when you think about the time left in this month or the special grand jury to be able to wrap up the witnesses that you just described, possibly publish

their final report between now and the end of december, that still gives the district attorney time in december to go before a regular criminal grand jury if the special grand jury decide that there is -- or makes the recommenation to bring charges. >> our lawyer experts on the shows always tell us don't assume an outcome. never assume what is going to happen. could you help me assume what is going to happen? do you think question expect an indictment of the former president? >> i think they would love to have that gift. there is no way to tell what these 23 or so residents are going to conclude in the special grand jury room. i think the district attorney was right to be able to get them to hear some of the evidence that she has. so this is actually a preview of what a ultimate jury if it goes

that far would think about her evidence. and so again, it's -- we don't have a crystal ball. we don't know what the recommendations are. the brookings report that we wrote which again just based on the publicly available evidence. so the da knows a lot more than we do. we've outlined a few crimes that we think could be based on the publicly known facts. that includes things like false statements, conspiracy to commit election fraud and possibly a rico indictment. >> listen to the -- we just talked about the people who we know, again, publicly have been subpoenaed. mark meadows, lindsey graham, newt gingrich. she's going to get testimony from all of them. some efforts to delay. is there anybody we haven't talked about who you think would be central to the investigation and maybe has not been subpoenaed yet? >> i think folks largely have been subpoenaed.

it's a question of whether they will actually testify. i'm specifically talking about some of the alleged fake electors that she has indicated she wanted to hear from. i think they would be very critical not only in outlining what their actions were in terms of signing the documents and ultimately being delivered to the national archives on january 6 to be counted in lieu of the actual votes from the biden electors. i think those folks again would not only be able to provide insight about their own actions, but also who if anybody asked them to participate in this scheme. and that may reach people higher up in the trump circle. but again, none of us know that at this point. only the special grand jury would have that information and the district attorney hopes to hear and gather more testimony. >> it is your sense that donald trump's announcement he is

running for president again in any way affects the investigation or what she plans to do? >> so the interesting thing is that prosecutors have brought charges against people who have been in elected office or form an elected individuals all the time. now obviously this is a special case in ermz it of reaching a former president. but bottom hin, every district attorney takes an oath to pursue evidence or pursue charges without fear, favor, or affection. and that means she'll go forward if she has the evidence without being fearful of the former president, his defense team or whoever else may be opposed to the prosecution. she is not doing it to gain favor. being a d.a. is -- has a high responsibility. has her job to be able to protect the integrity of the criminal justice system by following the evidence. the person i know will do

exactly that. leave no stone unternd. >> i know you he could authored a report based on public information. the rest of us who have that public information swront been able to do it without mind like yours. we appreciate you doing it and telling us how you interpret it. will thank you for being with us. thank you for your time this evening. >> thanks for having me. >> now with the election over, one republican governor's cruel stunt returns. that's next. r's cruel stunt returns. that's next. the first-ever all-electric chevy silverado rst. with a multi-flex midgate for extra storage. and an available 400 miles of range on a full charge. evs for everyone, everywhere. chevrolet

a bus pooled up to 30th street station in philadelphia. the passengers nearly 30 asylum seekers traveled for days from del rio, texas. one told the "philadelphia enquirer" that they had been given one small packaged meal. days of travel.

>> they would likely need food, clothing, shelter. that refusal to coordinate is the feature of abbott's month old stunt moving thousands of migrants across the country like pawns to own the libs. this time they used kid as pawns too. but philadelphia, the city of brotherly love was ready with food, clothing, transportation, to intake centers, medical screenings. the girl was dehydrated and fighting a high fever. she and her parents were taken to the emergency room for treatment. this is what happens when governors like greg abbott and ron desantis decide to use human beings as props to score political points. the increasing boarder crossings

is biden's fault and reinstate the policies he eliminated in order to fulfill his constitutional duty to enforce federal immigration laws and protect the states against invasion. because we have to secure our country from the dehydrated 10-year-olds innovating it. this notion that opportunity in this country is some zero sum game that, someone finding safety and freedom here takes something away from you or me, language we heard from several defeated republicans across the country leading up to last week's midterm elections. but it's just not true. it was misused to suppress for nearly three years. the policy allowed the biden administration to immediately expel migrants before they can request asylum.

in five weeks they'll process migrants seeking asylum at the border. experts expect a potential increase of migrants at the border once the expulsion policy ends next month. that will cause them to lie more claiming there is some kind of invasion. in reality, our immigration system has been dysfunctional for some time now under administrations of both parties. we need the kind of immigration reform that biden administration and congressional democrats ran on. not political stunts.
