so in that case, kennedy could win, but then the national democrats say those delegates might not counts a lot of questions that need to be answered how powerful he is in new hampshire. neil: you know what's interesting, too, eliza. you think about it, apples and oranges, his father benefitted from, you know, an opponent who surprised lyndon johnson in new hampshire, didn't win it, but wounded the president enough at the time that lbj would not seek reelection, and along robert kennedy came along to enter the race. i'm just wondering if bigger players come to the fore here if it looks like, you know, an rfk, jr. is resonating, and that there are alternatives out there and that this could trigger bigger bold-face party names to come forward and give it a run themselves? >> a question that biden has some significant weakness. there are democratic voters, they say they're not excited about another run by biden, but that's different than voters excited about kennedy and what we hear when we talk to voters, when we talk to strategists is just because democratic voters aren't excited doesn't

the united states and the united nations strove to establish an independent, democratic republic two years ago at seoul capital of korea, a united nations commission supervised free elections south of the 38th parallel and the republic of korea, a sovereign, democratic nation, was born. its president was syngman rhee. in may 1950. the citizens of this young republic went to the polls again to exercise their democratic rights, to choose their government under their democratic constitution, even as the citizens of the korean republic voted in pre elections, the north korean communist leaders were boasting of their intention to unify the country by force force. and this was their target, apparently a mountainous peninsula. and the 20 million peace loving citizens of the republic of korea. the attack by the north korean communists came suddenly and without warning, the heroic republican army faced by a superior forces with all the advantages of deception and surprise, rallying to the defense of the republic, improvising quickly to meet the unprovoked aggression. korean republic troops wer

what's the drc, the national democratic redistricting committee formed january of 2017. um, we decided that if you looked at the redistricting process, redistricting occurs usually a year after the census. so every ten years and if you look at what happened in 2011 democrats got we got our clocks cleaned you know they had republicans had a thing called project map where they really focused redistricting and. we did not. and as a result, they put in place a whole bunch of gerrymanders in 2011 that really have lasted for the course of a decade and, were hard to unwind. some still exist. one, as i said in in wisconsin. and so we decided all right for cycle let's form up an organization that will make sure that the redistricting process has done enough way a fair way not to gerrymander for democrats. my belief that if the system is fair, democrats will do just fine. now, a partizan democrat. but i think you i think we've got better candidates. i we have policies that are more in line with the desires of the people. if we are organized, you know, we'll do just fine. and if we

democratic 3 next. that'd be the most in success. let's see what's out there on those. well, also saying, well, this is not the way for us to go as a nation. you know, we shouldn't be a democratic national, but, you know, opinion i go, you know, and just to do those few hours, they do that. he's the name is, let's see how the people would move forward. and how did she will now be kind of, you know, as far as lead a trunk plate, they're going to present in terms of come up to date with the life of mary, in these areas tearing. now, princes, president to man. and while the column has threatened to impose sanctions, all new share is this likely to impress the qu, leaders is, i mean, that's not unexpected. terry, you know, in terms of stock shows, and that's also a lot to say that we must see some more time shows in the future. and that's how it's always been in the past. and also, you know, during cool we essentially, but again, i'm not particular with also the bus is going to detect. and even though they have said initially, you know, once we don't need any international names of veterans. but again, hearing them asking for technical suppor

leaders of the national governor's association republican spencer cox of utah and democrat jared polisthank you so much, gentlemen, for joining me. governor cox, i want to start with a question about the reality that you're facing here. how are you going to take this message and grow it and get people to actually adopt it? >> yeah, well it is a great question, dana. and something that we've been -- we've been thinking about ourselves. we're working with universities trying to understand the science behind depolarization, and we know politics is downstream of culture so this is not something that will change overnight but we do believe it is critical, the good news is that there are some numbers out there, some polling numbers that show there is a growing majority of americans that are tired of the toxic disagreement, the divisiveness of the tearing each other down, that they're looking for something better. governors are uniquely positioned to take this on. in that we actually have to get stuff done. we work together, we learn from each other, we are the laboratories of democracy and s

off financial and security aid to niger, days after a military coup ousted the west african nation's democratically madoa is monitoring situation from nairobi. >> reporter: the eu is hitting niger where it hurts the most, where there's a democratically elected president or coup leaders declaring themselves in charge, they badly need aid. that budgetary support from the european union, from the u.s. and other international partners keeps the country on the move, and now the european union saying this. president mohammad bazoum is democratically elected. he is and remains the only legitimate president of niger. he must be released immediately and without delay. the eu hold the coup leaders responsible for his safety and that have his family. and that money question is something the u.s. has touched on. antony plinken has become the first u.s. secretary of state to visit in march and he's been talking about this traveling in australia. >> we are united in condemning the actions that have taken place in niger, calling for the immediate release of president bazoum, calling for the immediate restoration

transitional government, following wednesday's coup d'etat which deposed the west african nation's democratically-elected president, mohamed bazoum. on friday, general abdourahaman tchiani said on state-run television the coup was necessary to prevent the "gradual and inevitable demise" of niger. over the weekend, a block of 15 west african nations slapped sanctions on leaders of the coup and threatened to expel them by force unless the cede power within a week. on sunday, thousands of supporters of the junta attempted to storm the french embassy in the capital niamey, burning french flags and chanting slogans against niger's former colonial ruler. they were turned away by soldiers firing tear gas. many are rejecting the interference of foreign actors following the coup. >> the international community that says it is here for us, we don't want it. it is no longer credible in the eyes of africans. we cannot understand why the support of coup d'etat in chad but oppose them in other places. it is an internal problem that only concerns nigerians. we don't want their moral lessons. amy: in ken yeah, the presi

of course, chris, the concern from national democrats is they harken back to the year of 2000.ralph nader, the third-party candidate then, and in 2016, jill stein and gary johnson, took about 6% of the national electorate in a race that came down to very narrow margins that could have potentially been the difference for hillary clinton and the concern this go around, if joe manchin were to get in the race would more moderate democrats peel away from joe biden and spoil the election, and hand donald trump the white house again, chris? >> vaughn hillyard, thank you, we'll be looking for your reporting tomorrow after the event tonight. >>> the biden campaign has more than just third party and outside threats to worry about. according to "the new york times," quote, the small dollar online money spigot that helped mr. biden smash fundraising efforts has not yet turned on and there are ample signs that it may be months before it does. joining me now is the times reporter behind that story, reed epstein. good to see you. how did democrats or the biden campaign explain the lack of sma

the question when you talk to national democratic operatives, they say it's the name, it's the generalt's what's driving it, not necessarily the issues. the issues have gotten him a very significant varying online group of followers. whether or not that everlaps with the democrats and the primary is another question. but this is a reality. the real question becomes is it ever something that the president and his team feels like they need to address? my sense is no, at this point in time. there are other things they are worried about. but those are real numbers. >> i'm gong to move on to the republican field, unless either of you is dying to talk about it. is that mean? >> to your point, there's a very kind of masculinity above all else reach of the internet and social media. and it kind of pours into politics, people like elon musk and joe rogan. to me, robert kennedy jr. falls within them, but that means he does have power because those folks have platforms. they are elevating him. >> that's such an interesting take. i didn't think of it that way. that's very smart. let's talk about t

nations. this campaign message of the route to get me seems to be working. for j bite and yes, that's the norm is headline some of $72000000.00 raised, but $52000000.00 of that was on the democratic national committee. only 19 point. $9000000.00 directly to the budget comp time. that's less that at this point because of 2020 election campaign way less and brock obama was getting at this point in the campaign and he's not getting the small data is he should be, it's stored. it's mainly a 1000000000 as the 1000000 as an corporations that doesn't bode well for enthusiasm and try them out. going into the general electric she ever time see algebra. washington was full now and there is a new king of center cold call us across between novak joke eviction, an epic men's tennis final windows in an exciting encounter. it was the 20 road from spain who eventually lifted the trophy lawrence smith's rounds of the ex in the world, number one with the world that these things after finals live long in the memory. i know this looking, al cortes was swept aside in the things that are the 7. so i'm champion. but if you look research in the 2nd set leveling the match on the type, right. the guilty b

in that case, president biden, the total with the joint fund committee and the democratic national committeemillion. that is not as much or trump had. problems with apples and oranges and all of the comparisons. yes, the biden campaign is leaning incredibly on the democratic national committee. they are fundraising everything they are doing is being done in lockstep and in coronation. it really, more than former president obama, it really is one campaign. the only campaign style rallies he has done so far in this campaign were put on by outside groups and the democratic national committee. the biden campaign did not put on those events. it did not come from the line item of the democratic -- from president biden's campaign geoff: looking at these numbers, robert f. kennedy, jr., his presidential campaign included donors who typically contribute to republicans. that was clear in the campaign finance filings. he is someone who constantly courts controversy. is latest con -- comments about a conspiracy theory of covid are fueling -- here is part of what he said. >> covid-19 is targeted to attac

. >> reporter: right, this is the concern of a lot of national democrats because their convention is not until next april in dallas here, and when we're talking about gaining ballot access, it is very difficult to get off the ballot. once you have a ticket, no label says then it's up to those candidates to run their campaign. at that point, no labels can say, hey, we're stepping back. we don't actually want this to happen. once there are candidates associated with the group and their names are on the ballot, it's tough to walk back from that. that's where a lot of concern is. when you look at the democratic party and the republican party electorates, a greater share of democratic voters consider themselves to be moderate voters compared to republican voters, and when you look at voters who voted for third-party candidates, gary johnson or jill stein, by a nearly 40% margin, those voters said they voted for joe biden as opposed to donald trump. so many data points suggest if joe manchin were to get ouch the race, it would siphon off votes from joe biden. as manchin says, we don't know

national democrats very excited about your campaign.er, former actor who has come in. what's your sense of the race right now now that hill harper came in this month? >> well, there's lots of people in the race. to be fair to everybody, there are five other candidates. this is our system. we're a democracy. and so everybody gets to compete. six years ago today i was just starting out and running for the first time. never had thought about running. so i don't have a problem with anybody deciding to run. and the voters will get to decide. that's our system. >> all right. thank you so much. appreciate your time. >>> all right. the white house is slamming republican senator tommy tubervillle for holding up military promotions. but how are his constituents in alabama reacting? we'll take you there next. >> i'm pro life, i'm a conservative, but i really don't believe that he should hold up military promotions. >> i'm certain he would not compromise nor do i think he should. ♪ >>> a cascading effect of delayed promotions threatens to brain dra

former attorney general of the united states under president obama, now the chairman of the national democraticedistricting committee. mr. holder, thank you for joining me tonight. here we have yet another story about strange financial transactions involving clear clarence thomas, no one at the supreme court willing to say word about it. clarence thomas's staff not saying a word about it. >> there clearly need to be hearings to determine exactly what has happened here with regard to justice thomas, with regard to justice alito. there's a need for a code of ethics, which the court, for some unfathomable reason, seems to be opposing. i think we need to also think about other kinds of reforms in the court. the supreme court has the lowest approval rating it has ever had. and it is not only the function of decisions that they have made their unpopular, it's also because people are losing faith in the court, based on the conduct of the justices. i would hope that the people on the judiciary committee in the senate will conduct appropriate hearings, call the witnesses who need to be called, subpoena

we go to the nation's capital, democrats line. caller: hello. good morning c-span. i just want -- i'm a little speechless because there is a lot of american business that is not being dealt with under this congress. this congress reminds me of -- it is almost like you are watching a reality tv show. i think that if more people like jason lee or those bloggers actually investigated political parties, this country will blow up. the same way they investigated athletes and entertainers. they need to start going after politicians. i'm so sick and tired of knickknack patty wack give the republican a bone and the democrat a bone. i have not heard one positive thing going on in our nations capital since this morning. i'm so sick and tired of it. what is going on in texas, with the school system is a hot mess. you guys need to start investigating -- stop investigating things like biden. look into the $2 billion that trump's son-in-law got from -- you know what i'm talking about. host: several things there. guest: she is raising a point that democrats often raise, which is th

him i think at one, but it didn't seem to be enough and then this is something that on the national level democratsm to be needing to make more in roads and that is something that i think is a big platform for you, but a democrat hasn't actually one, democratic candidate hasn't won a since obama. so this is basically a lot of things are falling on your shoulders and i want to talk about how you're advising the campaign and what are some of the things you are doing in north carolina to really make abled of the voters feel the democratic party is listening to them. >> that is a great question. joe biden lost north carolina by 74,000 votes and a lot of people look at it as though that's the opportunity state this year and i agree with them. i think we have a huge opportunity to really reach out to democrats that didn't turn out in 2020 and again in 22 because they haven't really felt energized were motivated by what's happening on the ground right now. and so part of what i think these biden harris administration and campaign this year really needs to do is show up in north carolina more than they eve

scene at the democratic national convention. progressives, many from coolidge, his family party, the republicans, unleashed a single stinging backlash against the conservatism. president grover cleveland, the progressive populist from nebraska. william jennings bryan, stampeded the democratic convention and with his famous cross of gold speech. in fact, while it cool while at college, coolidge had actually debated gold, it was a big issue at that time. brown articulated progressive impulse for citizens to band together, strengthen government, and confront big business. capitalism was the problem, and government was the answer. william mckinley defended conservative ism, and as a republican twice defeated bryan. mckinley was killed by an assassin making a near unknown the president and leader of coolidge's party. theodore roosevelt. when tr won on his own in 19 four, or coolidge's party the gop had become ed become the progressive party. the election of 1912, when coolidge was running for state offices. progressivism led by the go

attorney general eric holder who is now head of the national democratic redistricting committee, whicholved in two election-related cases before that court. good morning to you. you know, i'm sure there are a lot of things to talk about in regard to what you don't agree with the court on but you did have two victories here, sir. the state of alabama will now have to redraw its congressional map to include a second majority black district as a result of this 5-4 ruling that the state discriminated against black voters. what's the political and legal impact of this ruling? >> well, first of all, i think it's an affirmation by the court that there is still a need for a vibe broepts voting rights act, section 2, what the republican legislature did in alabama was inconsistent with precedent and the way in which the voting rights act had been interpreted. alabama has about 27% of its inhabitants who are african american, and yet if you look at the math they only got about 7% or 14% of the congressional seats. that decision will have an impact beyond the state of alabama. if you look at georg

some of $72000000.00 raised, but $52000000.00 of that was on the democratic national committee. only 19 point. $9000000.00 directly to the buyers and comp time. that's less that at this point because of 2020 election campaign way less. and brock obama was getting at this point in the campaign and he's not getting the small data is he should be, it's stored. it's mainly the 1000000 as the 1000000 of incorporations that doesn't bode well for enthusiasm in china. going into the general electric. she ever time see algebra, washington. this is in mexico city, are giving it prison inmates a chance for personal and professional growth through sport tournaments was held over the weekend. the teams made up entirely by prisoners organize the say. the competitions goal is to make it easy for them to re integrates into society. my o rapper, that reports from mexico city. this is not your average american football match. the players are actually inmates and the playing field is mexico cities inside this north penitentiary. this is the final match of a 2 week tournament between inmates from 8

>> reporter: this is something that ron desantis likes to do, tussle with national democrats over thees, and a lot of times he starts those conversations. that's what we saw yesterday. before we heard from vice president harris he called her a liar in a tweet, basically saying she was misleading the country about what exactly is in these new standards in the state of florida. and then afterwards when talking to reporters, he expanded more on exactly how he thought that slaves would perhaps get a positive benefit out of slavery. take a listen. >> i think what they're doing is i think that they're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into doing things later in life. >> reporter: now, one thing here is interesting, is not only, of course, the vice president's remarks later on, on friday we saw her say people who are leaders are really pushing around -- who want to be considered leaders are pushing around propaganda, but it is this increasing intensity on the biden administration and the campaign's part of really engaging ron desa

this is something that on a national level democrats seem to be needing to make more inroads. i know that is a big hot form for you. but a democratic candidate for president has not won since obama. so, this is basically a lot of things falling on your shoulders. i want to talk about how you are advising the campaign in north carolina to make voters feel that the democratic party is listening to them. >> great question. joe biden lost north carolina in 2020 by 74,000 votes. a look -- a lot of people look at it as if that is the opportunity state this year. i agree. i think we have a huge opportunity to reach out to democrats that did not turn out in 2020 and did not turn out again in 2020 cheri beasley because they have not felt energized or motivated by what is happening on the ground now. part of what i think the biden harris administration and their campaign needs to do is to show up in north carolina more than ever before. the idea right now is the democratic party has a messaging problem. i don't believe that. i believe we have a showing up problem because the democratic

but if you look at national democrats, , people gettingei tr information from different frames, they do have some commonalities around trusting their local health care provider, clinician, pharmacist, trusting in their community who could betn outside, who could partner. we are talking about like ag extension like that before but that's a different threat, strategy for not only describing hey, this has been approved but for helping people get the right practical information for them from a a trusted source aboutt it means for them. i don't think we solved that problem yet either. >> we had an end of the cdc had come we had huge partner network of all these different patient consumer organizations and all kinds of organizations, and we had weekly phone calls within and we gaveem them materials and we gave them talking points and answered their questions and everything. it was still very difficult to get the sort of reliable and valid information out everybody's hands and haven't heard. that might have been for other reasons w but i think there's a big effort to bring in the local comm

and the democratic national committee have raised a combined $72000000.00 for his re election campaign. in the past 10 weeks. he announced his 2024 candidacy in april war and this will bring into advertising see, to break down the figures for us to help. so the election is more than a year away. what should we make of these figures and his balance sheets? and that sort of becomes interesting. so i mean, the headline number of 72000000 isn't homeless, but when you, once you break down the numbers, the headlight volume is he's not doing as well as he should be among his base. and we'll get into that in a moment. and then on the republican side realm, desantis is the main challenge to donald trump. isn't real, real trouble? saturday was the deadline for all the candidates to reveal that fundraising and expenditures for the 2nd quarter of yes sir. rhonda sound is $19700000.00 raise on the face of it. that's a very respectable, respectable amount. but then you think about what, what did he get for that money? the 2nd quote is when rhonda started is actually launched as campaign. he spent $8

thank you, >> in national news, democrats are pushing for more stringent ethics code at the supreme court. and this follows recent reports of questionable ties between some of the justices and donors kron four's washington correspondent raquel martin has that story. >> democrats are advancing efforts to beef up oversight at the supreme court. this legislation will be crucial first step in restoring confidence in the court. democratic senator durbin says ethics reforms are needed. >> after reports revealed conservative justice clarence thomas and others failed to disclose gifts and dealings with donors. this cannot go on. democratic senator sheldon whitehouse says congress has an obligation to step in the highest court in the land. >> has the lowest standard of ethics anywhere in the federal government. >> the bill would require supreme court justices to adopt a code of conduct and create new methods to investigate alleged violations. the bill is not expected to go far because republicans are staunchly opposed and call it. >> a political weapon. this legislation is meant to be. a court kil

see much of, however, and public at least, is the work taking place behind the scenes of the democratic national committee, and a state parties across the country. the dnc is a major force behind democratic candidates up and down the ballots, and against campaigns. they communicate -- they serve as a legal backstop should the need for litigation arise after the 2024 election. those efforts are not just focus on the white house, they are also 11 governors mansions up for grabs in 2024. as well as control of the house of representatives, where the gop holds a narrow nine seats majority. then there are 33 races underway for the u.s. senate, which democrats control would just 51 seats. so there is a lot at stake, up and down the ballot. where the dnc invest their money, and spend their time, tells us a lot about what democrats think will work in 2024. there's no easy road ahead. the new york times is that with a new piece this week the touches on the predicament the dnc finds itself in as a faces resistance over its pro primary calendar that states the they border. criticism, which happens every yea

ukraine's future is in nato, they announced, but only after the nation makes democratic and securitytor reforms. >> this is a big step. >> reporter: zelenskyy called it absurd to place vague new conditions on ukraine without setting a membership timetable. but some nato allies worry that could draw them in to direct confrontation with russia. >> how soon would you like to see ukraine become a member of nato? >> i can't put a timetable on it for you. >> reporter: nato countries are making other promises. france is offering long-range missiles. germany, 65 tanks and armored vehicles. and 11 nations will start training ukrainian pilots to fly f-16s. >> how long is the training going to take? >> reporter: pentagon undersecretary colin kahl. >> we're talking about, you know, somewhere between 6 and 18 months depending on how well the ukrainian pilots do. >> reporter: not far to the east, russia is watching all of this unfold. a russian spokesperson saying today that a new agreement to allow sweden to join nato is clearly negative for russia. he vowed countermeasures though he didn't speci

i did race a lot of christopher munoz from the national democratic institute for international affairs. he's the regional direct so full central in west africa programs at the american and g o joins us now live from washington dc. good to have you with us of as well as felt with these suggestions or allegations of a french ministry operation. how likely is that right time. so somebody for having me. um, i would, i mean, if this was not a serious question, i would just laugh either way because no country that's credible or uh, that's uh experience with the whole meeting and to come down to the city of its country, being controlled by one to discuss how to take military action, so i would just, you know, it's true that differentiated become this trauma and in, in this i have a but i wouldn't put it in our stock on the i last meeting. we also know that sanctions amounting up on these. yeah. the you front pulse, so it's been suggested the us will be next. how is that going to impact the economic situation of the country? oh, i mean this session was out for rear and uh the new jam packed bo

audience in general clark is known for his work in the balkans and i've been working at the national democratic institute in kosovo the last couple of years. a lot similarities. and wes is, an extraordinary hero there for having saved millions of lives of the albanians as his uniform is actually in the museum. it's so fun to go and see it. but there's a lot of parallels between ireland and kosovo. they're both 20 years out of their war. there's no peace and reconciliation there still susceptible to, you know, sort of the demonization of the other tribe and things like that. so i think northern ireland stands as a. shining example of why things work. if you put women at the table and, if you do it right and it doesn't, to have the us as the broker between the two parties, i don't think he would have gotten the good friday agreement had it not been for the us involvement. the extraordinary of saint senator mitchell. five years of listening to people making the same arguments. but it's a real shining example to the world of of how how it works. i know in kosovo people want the irish to come and sa
