. >> exactly one year ago today we note senator perdue skipped a debate with jon ossoff, also skippedection, attended a trump rally instead. does perdue debate stacey abrams or is this a broader strategy? >> that is a very good question. you're right, that was a year ago. he was under a lot of pressure to show up, to at least, you know, waive the standard, give republicans something to cheer about. but many of own advisers pushed back internally on that decision. so he also skipped some major campaign rallies, did more of under the radar campaign push. i'll tell you this, governor kemp is a worker. so governor kemp will be out there going around the campaign trail, holding many, many events. and david perdue will be under the gun to do the same thing, to be out there and be very visible in grass roots organizations, something he started do before this announcement but something that he will have to accelerate as next year nears. >> big lie lives on in parts of georgia at least. greg, thanks so much. >>> a u.s. diplomatic boycott of the beijing olympics is expected to be announced this

perdue lost a senate re-election bid to senator jon ossoff in a key runoff race in january.omes to the heated abortion debate in america, there's only one thing republicans and democrats agree on, roe versus wade is in danger right now. right now the supreme court is considering whether to uphold mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, and based on arguments last night it appears the conservative majority is prepared to do so. justice brett kavanaugh, for instance, who's called roe versus wade settle law may be the best thing for the courts to remain neutral. mississippi's republican governor told cnn if this happens his state will immediately ban abortion except in cases of rape or in the case to save the mother's life. and here to discuss it this subject with us is democratic congressman of new york. great to have you with us. we appreciate your time. what do you think the supreme court is going to do, and with democrats in control of congress and the white house, what should your party be prepared to do in response if roe is overturned? >> well, i'm optimistic and hopeful tha

we saw the election of joe biden in 2020 and the election of jon ossoff and raphael warnock in 2021.ve voters activated and energized and ready to turn out. number three, most importantly, we have a failed leader in the governor's mansion. that means that people not only have a reason to show up, they got a reason to show out. because georgia is facing terrible times. we have got some successes for some, but not for everyone. there is real pain in this state. there is real need. half a million georgians do not have access to health insurance because of the callousness of one man. and if we can solve those problems, if we can show there is a brighter future ahead, i believe that we can win, and that's why i'm in this race because i believe we can win it. >> we did just learn that 52% of absentee ballot applications were rejected under this new georgia law. we're talking about more than half of them because voters missed a deadline. do you think that hurts republicans? what do you think? >> i think it hurts georgia. and that's, again, the point. voter suppression may target certain com

. >> and it'll be really interesting to see a campaign in georgia next year when jon ossoff and raphael warnock are the senators there. they've got a republican legislature, this very, very conservative republican governor who wants to run for re-election, but he's got the whole trump wing of the party against him. the dynamics are nutty even just internally within the republican party. but you add in these interesting democratic politicians up and down the line, too, it's going to be the best possible race in the country and going to spend tons of time covering it. >> and senator warnock is going to be running for re-election. so you have right now the two most high profile races of the year both in georgia. >> yeah, with these two unbelievably talented, charismatic black leaders who happen to be from the same state, who happen to be from the same generation, who happen to be on the ballot at the same time. but both raphael warnock and stacey abrams are democratic leaders of national stature, and they're going to be running in that same fishbowl, hopefully running campaigns that are co

to democratic senator jon ossoff.clearly over the party's interests once again? >> oh, of course i do. gloria's analysis was spot on. to suggest that governor kemp and brad raffensberger who refused to -- who refused to violate the oaths of their office did the right thing in certifying the vote. that's not the reason that donald trump lost -- that perdue lost. perdue lost because donald trump said the system was rigged. that you couldn't trust the vote. he suppressed the republican vote and that cost him two republican seats. it seems to me that david perdue is doing this, running, because he wants to be governor and wants the trump endorsement and trump does have an outsized influence in republican primaries. and this primary fight will accrue to the benefit of the democrats. this is a year when republicans should do well, wind is at their back. it's a midterm. the election is about the democrats far more than the republicans but it's a sad state of affairs. >> we learned that devin nunes, the republican congressman

senate seat to the democrat jon ossoff. david perdue is now running for governor of that state. he's running for governor because president trump asked him to. he's his preferred candidate and it's easy to see why given the things he's saying. he's building this campaign for governor on the debunked claims of voter fraud in that state. shortly after launching his gubernatorial bid this week david perdue said he wouldn't have allowed biden's victory in georgia to be certified if he had been serving as governor at the time. he's also calling for a special legislative session to delve into all of trump's conspiracy theories of what happened in 2020. and now today david perdue filed a lawsuit pushing those baseless conspiracy theories. georgia public radio summed it up with this rather blunt headline. quote, david perdue files election lawsuit with recycled, already disproven claims of fraud. the lawsuit he filed today claimed fraudulent ballots were counted in fulton county, georgia, even though that is bull and has been thoroughly refuted by investigators, thoroughly investigated,

david perdue lost his senate seat by an even bigger margin to jon ossoff.ounted them multiple times and that's why georgia went blue. there's no evidence of widespread fraud in georgia. multiple independent investigations proved that the ballots were even counted three times there and that suitcase thing is a conspiracy theory that's been disproved. there's that today, and then some separate news about this notorious phone call now that happened right after the 2020 election. not the phone call between then-president trump and georgia's secretary of state that you have heard about, but another one that reuters is reporting today. including the person who reps this guy, rapper kanye west, usually responsible for dealing with paparazzi, or keeping a divorce out of the tabloids, but this publicist used her job to try to interfere with the 2020 election results. she called an election worker and threatened her, and told her to lie, and say she tampered with the election results, the ones that show joe biden won and said if she did not, she would be arrested. we

he lost to jon ossoff but was with one-term u.s.ald trump's endorsement. at that very same rally, donald trump begged david perdue to run. this infighting is far from over in georgia. >> we can't assume that it will be an abrams kemp remachl. latosha, something interesting about the state where i grew up. you and i talked about this a lot. black voters are the base vote there. black voters represent nearly half of the vote in georgia. however, latino and asian americans have been key demographics in georgia's registered voter since 2016. this multiethnic coalition of voters there will be quite powerful. will that be enough to leapfrog over the voter suppression schemes, and what kind of activity are you seeing bubbling up right now? >> listen, i have to be honest and say part of the reason why organizations and people like myself and others have been pushing congress to pass federal legislation to protect the right to vote is because we're in an uphill battle that what we're seeing in the state of georgia, the republicans are using

the moment that rafael warnock and jon ossoff got into the senate, we have known.s known. so the ideas that we're now discussing, should we have a carveout for the filibuster, just says to me that there is not enough urgency on the part of the administration. i'm not even going to do 50/50 hindsight as to whether build back better, infrastructure, whatever. i don't see any evidence that joe manchin or kyrsten sinema is willing to do it. they'll do it for the debt ceiling and judges but they do not care enough about voting rights because they do not seem to understand the threat to our democracy that we're facing. so, you know, i'll believe it when i see it and i don't see anything that suggests that anything is going to change any time soon. >> claire? >> i actually think that this is a smart move on schumer's part and i think the letter he sent is really important, what he said. and this is what i think we ought -- the drum that ought to be beat over and over and over again. the state legislatures are using their majorities to suppress votes, so what is wrong with
