your current speed through the xfinity app today. 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. coming up on aim, in the final and i don't know what the heck you're talking about. 48. where the senate runoff is already breaking records. plus, decembers aside. the january six committee has one last trick up its sleeve

before it gets disbanded. and mallory mcmorrow goes to washington, the michigan state senator takes on the famous gridiron dinner and discusses her plan to have a bigger role in the 2024 election cycle. i am ayman, let's get started. tonight we begin in georgia where polls will close in less than 48 hours in the senate runoff election, the final race to be decided in the 2022 midterms. twice this week, georgia set a new one day record for one day voting, more than 150,000 georgians have cast their ballot that was just on friday alone in this early voting period according to nbc news more than 76 georgians who did not turn up for the general election have voted early in the runoff election here's senator raphael warnock just moments ago and one of his final campaign events. >> over the last few years, especially, we've been going

through a bit of a contraction, and there are folks who are trying to divide us. but because of young people like you, i really do believe that our best days are not behind us, our best days are in front of us. >> let's go to nbc news -- on the ground for us in atlanta. >> huge early vote in georgia sets the stage for a dramatic election day contest between democratic senator raphael warnock and his republican challenger, herschel walker. early vote in georgia is expected to top 1. 9 million with the early voting electorate appearing disproportionately female and divorce, disproportionately democratic leading, and skewing older. older even than the older voting electorate and the midterm election. we're seeing 76,000 new voters who sat at a midterm election in november and i voted early

so far and the georgia senate runoff. those constituencies -- seen the most significant jumps from sitting out in november and voting now are voters under 30, hispanic voters, and asian american voters, all of which are democratic-leaning constituencies. this portends well for the democratic candidate, raphael warnock. there's some good news for herschel walker as well, the fact that electorate skews older. about 70% of the early voting electorate is 50 years or up. walker has an advantage with that group. as the candidates barnstorm the state of georgia to make their closing pitches to have days ahead of election day, the big question is, on tuesday, can herschel walker win big enough to make up for the -- as a result of the big early vote, which favors democrats? that question will be answered on tuesday, when georgia votes. atlanta, nbc news. back to you. >> thanks for that report. senator warnock and herschel

walker are taking very different approaches and his final stretch of the election. as you just saw there, the senator has been on the ground -- retail politics. he's been speaking with voters, meeting with union groups, campaigning with former president obama. herschel walker on the other hand, he has been in a near constant state of damage control and making last minute fundraising appeals. -- a donor member obtained by nbc news, quote, simply put, we are being outspent 3 to 1 by warnock, and were being at spent nearly 2 to 1 from outside groups. we need help. last week, the daily beast published a devastating account from one of herschel's former girlfriends who went on the record to detail her tumultuous five-year relationship with walker during the 2000s. charles says she injured cheating, lying, violence, and multiple personalities during the romance, and according to the daily beast, quote, provided a detailed account of a 2005 incident that turned

violent after she caught walker with another woman at his dallas condo. she said walker grew enraged, put his hands on her chest and neck, swung his fist at her, i thought he was going to beat me, she recalled, and flood in fear. it's the first time in a camping that a woman has gone on the record with accusations against walker. new tonight, charles spoke on camera about those allegations to nbc. take a look at vaughn's report. >> he told me, you want to see a man? i'll show you a man. and he was pressing his forehead against mine. i had was against the wall. he was speaking with such force that his saliva was all over my face, and he and his hand on my throat and my chest, and then, he leaned back to throw a punch, and luckily, i was able to avoid that. and the punch landed on the

wall instead of me. >> nbc news spoke with three individuals whom she told of this incident in the past before he was running for the senate. a story, not the first allegation of domestic abuse against the former football star. his ex-wife, sydney grossman. spoke out in 2008. >> he got a gun, and you put it to my temple. >> but it right here temple? and what did he say? >> i'm gonna blow your effing brains out. >> just two months ago, walker 's son, tweeting that his father had previously, quote, threatened to kill us. walker has previously a suffering from mental illness during the period of these allegations. even wrote a book about it, saying he had dissociative identity disorder. i condition in which a individual has various distinct personalities. >> a texas woman is alleging that you physically attacked? >> so, please stop. >> would you like to respond to these allegations? >> walker and his campaign have not responded to these allegations. >> i never really thought that i would be in the situation today. who would never thought he

would be running for senate? and i would feel compelled to come forward. but, it was the women. it was for me, because i lived in silence for so long, carrying the shame of what i allowed. >> joining me now, -- director of the black voters -- and kendra -- action fund. great to have you both with us. kendra, first off, your reaction to these allegations from cheryl? >> thank you for having me on. i'm happy to be here, especially alongside cliff. i'm sure this will be a fun conversation. it's shocking to hear those allegations. it's actually very sad. i'm a wife, i'm a mother, i have cousins. no one wants to hear of a woman being abused. and the fact that herschel

walker is a candidate for senate and is refusing to even, you know, comment as to trying to refute even what has been asserted in those allegations, is really disqualifying, if you ask me. i can't understand how the campaign thinks they can just stave off giving any type of response for the next 48 hours, but i really do hope that these georgians who have not made it to the polls and, you know, cast their ballots yet, give some real thought and consider the character of this individual that's on the ballot. >> cliff, same question to you, your reaction to cheryl parcels interview on nbc news, both on a human level and what this woman had to endure, but also on the impact it can have on those georgian voters that have not yet cast a ballot? is it likely to make a difference this late in the game? >> yeah. thanks, ayman. good evening to you, and good evening to my good friend kendra.

i agree with what -- when a personal level, it's deeply troubling for any woman to be in that situation. right? but i think beyond the issue of character, you know, we always have to remember, all these scandals that herschel has been a part of and just matters of character and personality. right? and individual conflict. it's also a matter of policy. at a time when we're having a debate about red flag laws and a connection between domestic violence and gun violence, i, the recent mass shooter had a previous incident with domestic violence. if you're having a debate on -- millions of americans. this isn't just a matter of his personal life. this is a matter of policy, the same way his personal stances and -- that's a matter of policy. we can go up and down. what he says about health care, when he says about insulin, that you don't need insulin because it doesn't work, that's

a danger. herschel walker isn't just a embarassment, particularly to black voters, but he's a clear and present danger when it comes to our health and our safety and our economic well being. >> kendra, let's talk about the ground game for a second. as i mentioned there in that set up, more than 76,000 georgians who did not turn out in the general election last month, they've voted early and the runoff election. and i think most people are surprised by that number, given the fact that republicans have lost control of the senate already. but that's a substantial number of turnout. when you make of that? >> well, i can give a little anecdote personally. i've got a 21-year-old who is a senior at harvard and boston. i think it's a mischaracterization to say that these folks spat out the election. she never received her absentee ballot, so she couldn't vote. we have to understand about the voter suppression bill, and what it did with a runoff

timeline, and truncating that timeline, we lost about four weeks to where we could actually get folks out to. so we told folks not to even -- that's why you're seeing such a large early turnout number, in person turnout number. because the counties couldn't get it together in time. i live in cobb county. cobb county right now is an absolute cluster of a mess with a cluster of absentee ballots. people are talking about litigation. it's problematic. when we had to see, and i say we, the votes in the progressive ecosystem, had to sue to try to get the state to allow the weekend voting, we personally, my family, we changed our daughters flight from saturday to sunday so she could take advantage of that and actually log her vote. we knew she wouldn't receive about for the runoff either. >> that's how important this runoff is. so i'm glad your daughter is carrying out her civic duties and coming to vote. cliff, talk to me about how your group has been organizing

on the ground, especially since the early voting, as we just heard there, the early voting window was so much shorter for the runoff, and as we've been hearing anecdotally, for all these hiccups, if not outright problems in the way it has been run so far? >> yeah, they've been all kinds of problems. we could talk for days about the connection between that and -- voter suppression bill. what we know is there really crafted that bill with surgical precision. it's not a coincidence that we've been setting records, right? i said earlier today in a press conference, the fact that where -- it's a function of two things. both good and bad. and the good side is the work of organizations like ours -- like kendra's. we've been able to overcome some of this voter suppression. but we have to keep in mind, if you're trying to get what is usually three weeks of early votes into just one week of early voting, and yeah, you pretty much have to set a record every day just to be able to get what you usually do.

so it's not -- that's not a recipe for something we want to repeat in the past. but to overcome -- 159 counties, urban areas as well as the southwest and middle georgia rural communities, educating voters about this, and preparing voters we -- and hopefully, for what we won't have to face on tuesday. but when it got a keep in mind that the voter suppression bill that with early voting, but it also dealt with same-day elections. so we have to be vigilant about some of the shenanigans that would be going on on tuesday. >> that's a great point. glad you mentioned it. it didn't occurred to me that you're squeezing a big number of voters in a shorter period of time, so you're going to see a spike in those daily turnout numbers. and that's, perhaps, an explanation as to why georgia is breaking the single day voting records. kendra, the nbc news reported this week that under georgia law -- can use student i. d. to vote, but those private schools, and

seven out of ten hbcus, are private in the state of georgia. they cannot. do you believe that was deliberate step taken to make it harder for hbcu students to vote -- given the precision of what georgia is trying to do and suppressing one group of voters over the other? >> go i kind of think this is a rhetorical question. >> it is a little bit. but i want you to explain to our viewers who may not know why i was posing it to you that way. >> yes. yes. so, as cliff already asserted, there was a nefarious intent. people have to understand, the voter suppression bill, when they see all the lines, and they say, oh, all these people are voting in georgia is breaking records. the intent of the bill was not to keep masses of georgians from voting. the intent of the bill, and like, what is manifested, it's a margins game. people need to recognize, in 2020, biden carried georgia by

a little less than 12,000 votes. right? so if you can, with precision, whittle away folks who might be more progressively leaning and there, you know, in their ideology, then we can make it a little more difficult for them to actually cast their ballot, then you're gonna up your chances of being successful and on election. you couple that with the reduction in the timeframe, with the snafus, is with sending out these absentee bots are not sending them out. you couple that with the idea that you can just -- go up and challenge somebody's validity week, and that person has to prove that they actually -- are they actually live here in georgia, it's odd by design to ensure that those currently have power remain in power. >> kendra, cliff, thank you to both of you for the work you're doing, and thanks for coming on

tonight and talking about this. we'll see what happens in the next 48 hours. greatly appreciate your time. richard louis is here with the headlines, hey, richard. >> we stories we're watching the summer, 27 year old man has been arrested in the killing of an elderly massachusetts couple, putting an end to a days long man hunt. police apprehending him in miami beach after the couple was found dead on tuesday night. north carolina officials are investigating widespread power outages as an intentional criminal act. the more county sheriff's office says gunfire appears to have damaged to electric substations. about 45,000 people remain without power as of sunday afternoon. and taylor swift fans are suing live nation entertainment. the parent company of ticketmaster, following a presale debacle for her music to her. according to court documents reviewed by today, the plaintiffs alleged breach of contract, intentional mr., and

miracle? -- betty thompson says there's a good chance the committee's final report will be published by christmas. the panel wrapped up its investigated work this week, interviewing one last witness. republican house speaker -- now, they're turning to unfinished business, including determining whether to send criminal referrals to the justice department. speaking of the doj, this, week trump's advisor, stephen miller, testified to a federal grand jury in the departments generate six investigation, making him the first known witness since special counsel jack smith was appointed to oversee trump's and criminal investigations. -- msnbc criminal analyst --

and brad, ceo and president of api victory fund, former director and the white house office of -- funny or die. great to have you with us. how hopeful are you about this report from the january six committee? >> i'm hoping the amount of time, energy, and intention spent on making sure this was all the way right, which means it would take us all the way up the holiday break, we'll actually pay off for us. ultimately, this report, this committee's entire work, it's truly about prevention. it's not about revenge or vengeance. it's about ensuring that there is not another group, or another former president, who decides they want to get together and try to stage a coup and steal this government back from the people. i think it'll be incredibly important, especially as the doj takes over the house next

year, for them to remember that this is not their house. it's the government. it's the peoples government. and this continued effort towards accountability must continue to happen so they know that they can never ever do this again. i'm glad to see that outcomes like the one from the trial with the head of the oath keepers finally lead to sedition and conspiracy and said of individual culpability. i'm hoping to see that kind of conspiratorial clarity come at the highest levels and not just from those who are following orders. >> to brittani's point, how do you think the january six committee has been in convincing the public that donald trump was and is a threat to our democracy so that what happens over the next two years, whether it's, him or through the republican party, there's not another move that would overthrow our government? >> i think they've done a great job. look, this is serious work. everything brittani said is so important for folks to realize. we've got a hand the reins over

to the republicans here. the fact that this report is coming out right before that happens, we know that kevin mccarthy's already said he's going to investigate the investigation. which is so fascinating. look, i didn't do this committee report, i'm not a lawyer, but donald trump pretty much said, hey, y'all, come to the capitol on january 6th, were storming the capitol. right? not just get plain here, but that happened. what we're gonna have happened now is, you know -- we i think they said the word of the year in 2022 was gaslighting. >> gaslighting. >> gaslighting was the word of the. and that's what republicans are going to attempt to do. they're going to intend to gaslight the country and believing that this just didn't happen. you know? it's like, abracadabra. he merrick garland has appointed a special prosecutor. we're not gonna allow gaslighting to happen. these recommendations, they're

gonna be some criminal recommendations. jamie raskin has confirmed that. this will be a beautiful christmas gift to america. we're not gonna allow gaslighting to be the word of the year in 2023. >> let me shift gears for a moment to trump's call for termination of the constitution, but the 2020 election results be overturned. brittani, what he may think of this? the fact that in this day in age, it happened. he says it. it barely makes any noise among republican party officials. no one is really coming out and condemning it. and this is a guy who is running for office. it's not a guy who's retired interest opining about things from the countryside. he's gonna be the front runner, if not -- at least, the standup -- republican party in 2024. >> i mean, the late maya angelou told us, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. he showed himself consistently

to be a sun -- bend them to his well, and is well only. this is par for the course. i also think that it's important that we don't view donald trump as the sole villain in the republican party. it's very easy for the mitch mcconnells of the world and others like him to try to distance themselves from trump, or be silent about trump, and try to make sure that the american public can ignore the fact that the gop has been wiping their behinds with the constitution for a long time. we can look back at your last segment and look at what the gop did at the state level in georgia, what they've been doing all across the country with voting, as a singular example of just how little they care about the rule of law, as they say, just how little they care about democracy. certainly, they don't care about a multi racial democracy. i think it's really important that we hold trump accountable, but that we also hold all the folks that let him get this powerful accountable as well. because they're up to a lot of the same things. they just don't see the quiet

part out that. >> that's a good point. brad, what do you make of trump's attack on the constitution? >> i mean, what did we expect? first off, -- so spot on. we have to say the quiet part out loud. president trump just dined with an nazi enthusiast and then when -- the republican party was very complicit here. they're like, oh, you, know you probably shouldn't have done that. i don't even know what it takes at this point for america to wake up and realize how much of a threat this charlatan's to who we are as a country. it's embarrassing. we do need to say the quiet part out loud. think of all the hours and the time that we spend when my man is already announcing it to the world every single day on his platform. now, he's back on twitter. you can look at his various platforms. it's such a disgrace, and we

have to call that. i agree with britney. we have to call out this complicit republican party. it's infuriating. >> panel, please stick around. don't go anywhere. we've got a lot more to discuss after the break. we're gonna discuss the dramatic changes to democrats presidential calendar, breaking with centuries of precedent. what it means for the race in 2024. the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk? wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪things are getting clearer♪ ♪i feel free to bare my skin♪ ♪yeah, that's all me♪ ♪nothing and me go hand in hand♪ ♪nothing on my skin♪ ♪that's my new plan♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ achieve clearer skin with skyrizi.

out, relegated to a much later date in the process. and a letter to dnc members of biden said quote, we must ensure voters of color have a voice in choosing our nominee much earlier in the process and throughout the entire early window. late this week, a dnc panel approve this proposal. but it's not set in stone just yet. the plan will still need to be fully approved by the entire dnc membership at a meeting early next year. elevating states that have more diverse populations could finally give much-needed representation and clout to historically marginalized communities. but most of the states are much larger than iowa. so, as axios notes we might be seeing the end of retail politics as we know. at quote, damn candidates will need big money and big connections to succeed with this map. not a whole lot of room for scrappy underdogs. my panel is back with me to describe discuss. britney, your thoughts. this new proposal comes after months of negotiations with states that have been vying for

top spots in the calendar. give me what you're thinking here on what the reordering of the calendar could mean for minority communities and the role they play into society a, or setting the pace for the nominations throughout the process. >> wow, i think it's frankly high time that we had a shake up to the primary calendar. especially when it comes to elevating the voices of marginalized voters. and especially for some of those states, i'm thinking of the always -- relevant three stats andre 3000 who said the south has something to say. we know south carolina was critically important to joe biden's ability to clinch the nomination. and of course, there's a thank you in order. we know there's a special relationship there between him and congressman clyburn. let's look deeper, let's think about the important role that georgia played in 2020. the way they completely defied all of the odds. odds that even someone like axios might not have, people

like axios might not have predicted. but i'm also thinking about the way that the south could rise and be a new south. especially given that nearly 60% of black americans lived in the south. with the proper investments from the party apparatus, some hoping that as the media, political class continues to think about what's possible for the future of the south, if they don't look at black voters in the south as a monolith. i'm thinking of older voters, i'm thinking about radically pragmatic voters, i'm thinking about young progressive leaders, like -- and mare -- who's a freshman congresswoman from texas. i'm thinking about black college students, radical black organizers, that i've been there for generations. and i've been trying to make sure that black voters, that marginalized voters take their proper role. in a party that they've held together for a very long time. these are voices that need to be heard from. i'm hoping that what we'll see in the future, or in the near

future, is a real deep headstrong investment across the south. so, we start seeing those states that we can claim, and make sure that the grassroots voices, and marginalize, voices black voices that have been levy -- receive their credit due. >> in some of the criticism has been that places like south carolina, some are wondering is that the best choice to be first given that republicans dominate state government. it was part of the criticism of iowa, that it was too right leaning generally as a state after 20 -- 2012. does that carry any water you think we're not? >> it's a tough one for me, to be honest. first off, i agree with everything brittani says. this is so much better. the fact that we get to hear from voters of color and some of these first couple of states, how have, how was it taken this long for us to do this. that's number one. here is the thing, there's something to be said about the fact that if not for iowa,

there would be no obama. let's just be clear, if there was not an iowa, hillary clinton -- would've been the democratic nominee in that year. in 2008. why? barack obama organized that, to your point, very white state. sometimes we take a state -- it's right leaning. barack obama came out of nowhere. and again, this is not something that happened very often. but the way that this map, this calendar structure, you need to have a lot of money. you have to have a lot of money. >> let me just push back on that quickly, let me push back on the barack obama thing. i agree with you, isn't the argument that we are a very different america, in 2022 than barack obama's in 2008. that's the argument people are making. you can't behold into what it

just because a state has certain demographics, we also need to think about policies, we need to think about the depth and brett and the differing upended -- democratic party. and just because a, asian americans, filipinos in nevada are very different than south asians. in georgia. when it comes to policies and things they care about. so, i love to see a smaller state there. how about this, i'm from the great state of new jersey. let's throw this out there. new jersey is the fourth most diverse state in the country. behind california, texas, hawaii. we know those states will be thrown in there. new jersey's also the most densely populated state in the country. so, people can get to a lot of places and you gotta have a little bit a grit in new jersey. you gotta keep it real in new jersey. so, why not throw the garden state in the mix.

after that dinner, -- came down with covid. and matt gates got the clap. and he wasn't even at the dinner. i wish i could take credit for that, but credit where credit is due. that was some michigan state senator, mallory mcmorrow. who was at the democratic headliner, at the event last night. a few politicians are asked to speak, even a few state senators are actually asked to speak at the gridiron. in fact, the last state senator to address the gridiron club was dunnellon a state senator, barack obama, in 2004. and as mick moreau said last night, quote, i'm worried about what's happening next. some enterprising reporters going to dig up my birth certificate. and discover i was born in new jersey. jokes aside, it's a clear sign that of mcmorrow's rising star within democratic circles. earlier this year, she became the poster child for the importance of winning state legislative races. and spearheaded a six-month campaign that started with a

viral speech when she confronted republican attacks on the lgbtq community in her state. >> we cannot let hateful people tell you otherwise, to skate bone defects in the fact that they are not doing anything to fix the real issues that impact peoples lives. and i know, that hate will only win if people like me standby and let it happen. we will not let hate win. >> since that moment, since that viral speech, mallory mcmorrow has raised more than $2 million build a national network of supporters that in part, -- control of the state senate for the first time in nearly 40 years. and mcmorrow of course is already looking towards 2024, telling politico, she plans to have michigan play quote, a key role in the next presidential cycle. after the break, valerie mcmorrow will join me to

michigan democrats win control of the state senate for the first time in nearly 40 years. she wants to make sure michigan is a key player in the 2024 election. i'm joined now by mallory mcmorrow, michigan state senator. senator, great to have you. on thank you for coming back on the show. let me start by talking to about this gridiron speech. how did it come about, there's no i delivered as well as you did. tell us about how it came about and were you surprised to get asked? >> i was really surprise. our high, and who's a longtime member of the gridiron club, i did a podcast with him and james carville, months ago. and then out of the blue we got an invitation in my email inbox. and one of my staff members asked what this was, if it was a big deal. and i said, yeah, it is. and we were thrilled to do it. >> it's like flagging it as spam. >> yeah, really. >> so, the grid iron dinner,

joking aside, is just one day to point your rising democratic politics. we've had you on the show before. we've been following you closely. you raise more than $2 million this year, talk about what you hope to do with that power and influence that you have accumulated. let's talk about that first on a state level, and what it means for your party regaining control in the state senate for the first time in 40 years? >> the gridiron's a perfect example of everything we've tried to do with the viral moment that i had back in april. that i never asked for. but recognizing that we could use this microphone, this moment to do something powerful. it's been a continued point of mine to get the message out about how important state legislators really are. we saw what happened with dobbs in the fall of row, we saw what happened for decades with gerrymandering, the fact that republicans took over two thirds of state legislatures. and gerrymander the maps to continue to take control. so, this is an opportunity to

bring the attention down to where all of this work actually happens. and do something huge. it was a long time coming, but in michigan we flipped the entire legislator blue for the first time in nearly 40 years. so, going into 2024, when you've got divided congress on the federal level now, and there's likely last that's gonna get done, kevin mccarthy already announcing he's gonna read the constitution, and hold investigations on hunter biden's laptop. you look at a state like michigan, with a democratic governor, and democratic legislature, we are gonna be the ones who are out there proving what it looks like when democrats are in charge. with michigan on the map as an early primary state, we're gonna be the ones proving it out, i'm excited about that opportunity for all of. this >> talk to me a bit about that. you've talked -- michigan a key player in 2024. as you mentioned, it's possibly in the early primary states if that does get approved by the fruit dnc membership. what do you have in mind for michigan and now that it is

fully controlled by democrats? what do you want to see done? >> we need to put into place everything that's building up for the past four decades. right off the bat, michigan voted overwhelmingly to codify roe, protect reproductive -- get our abortion ban off the books. we need to send a message to voters that we hear you. we need to amanda's civil rights -- exclude the -- we've seen just in the past few weeks, the rising rhetoric an attack on the lgbtq -- we have economic issues school funding, economic development that's not supporting small businesses. because this is of color. and improving that democrats are in charge, we create opportunities for everybody, especially in a state like michigan. >> yeah, speaking of the economy. this past week, at president biden in michigan talking about domestic manufacturing, semiconductors. talking about what it means to have the president come back to your state. in these important issues for michigan, is the economy gonna

be front and center now that the legislator isn't democratic hands, with a democratic governor? >> of course. it is a goes back to the old adage, it's the economy, stupid. it always. as michigan is the home of the great lakes, and the american automotive industry. we're both. it's about protecting clean water, it's about transitioning into the future of manufacturing, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, doing more manufacturing at home. and making sure that these are good union jobs. that these are jobs that are not just minimum wage jobs, that their careers. that were fulfilling the american dream the way that michigan always has. and it was really exciting to see him here again. and to be part of that transition into the future, where michigan, again, as we're looking for where things are getting done for the next two years. it's gonna be a state like ours. so, we can show what's gonna happen and why we should be

able to take the congress back, as well as reelecting a democratic president in 2024. are >> i need to ask you a personal question if i can. have you thought with all of this spotlight, and the national attention on you about your own future. how you can build on what you've done inside michigan. perhaps at a more national level, have you given that any thought, since we made the comparison to barack obama being the last state senator to address the gridiron. >> look, i just got reelected for another four years with about 79% of the vote. which i'm really excited about. i'm grateful to all of my voters for putting their faith in me again. and this was an opportunity we haven't had in michigan, in my entire lifetime. i'm someone who fundamentally believes that if we can do the work at home, and we can prove it out. then my futures pretty wide open. but i'm focused here, where it matters the. most >> and you have a wide open invitation to come back at anytime on this show. michigan state senator mallory mcmorrow, thank you so much as always. i really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> up next, the first ever documentary of civil rights icon, rosa parks.
