jen palmieri, thank you so much. alex, stick around we. have more of your interview with california governor gavin newsom. after the break we'll hear what the border state governor has to say about republican legislatures might have about deciding it might not be important to legislate or do whatever, not if it hurts donald trump's campaign. that's next. it hurts donald trump's campaign that's next. you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned we could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax a

. >> jen palmieri, didn't chris christie prove there's no appetite among republican voters for an anti-trumpdidate? >> yeah, but there is among general election voters, right? i think that is what -- if haley sitting -- coming out of iowa, going into new hampshire, people are going to be going after him. that is -- and presumably for the next eight weeks. i don't know that that's going to hurt him. that could soften him up for the general election. it also shows you what kind of messages are working with people. 60% of the republican party is solidly behind donald trump right now. presumably that means 40% is not. republicans are loyal voters. most of those people will go home and vote for him. some measure of them will not. i think the biden campaign is looking at that tranche of voters to see over the next eight weeks in particular how can they bring some of those to his side. >> marc, basically, are you surprised that mike pence whom you worked with so closely had this sprawling evangelical base that trump is getting the evangelical vote in iowa? >> i think that is surprising. even in 201

jen palmieri, who service commission director for president barack obama and hillary clinton's 2016 campaign against donald trump. they both join me now. i was struck by that electability number because i know from the perspective of democratic voters when it's a democratic party on the out, so i think by the primary in four against w. bush and the primary in 2020, that 14 number is like 65, right, am i wrong? i feel like that is the thing. that's every discussion is who's going to be the person to beat george w. bush? who's going to be the person to beat trump? >> and democratic voters decided in 2017 that person with joe biden, and they never wavered from that. >> you're saying in that polling? >> and that polite, national polling -- even as biden lost in iowa and new hampshire, he still lead the national polls. we always say we don't have national primers, we've got to have national primaries, now. so i think that -- what i've experienced in talking to trump voters is that they insist on a much deeper thing for them. it's about vindication, retribution, revenge for their guy who gets thei

this are david plouffe, who served this campaign manager of president obama 2008 campaign and -- jen palmierin in 2016 presidential run against donald trump. they both join me. now i was struck about that electability number, because i know from the perspective of democratic voters, when it's a democratic party on the out, so i think about the primary against and for w. bush, and the primary in 2020, that number is like 65. right, am i wrong? that is the thing. every discussion is, who will be the person to be bush, who will beat trump? >> and democratic voters decided in 2017 that that person was joe biden, and they never wavered from that. >> in that polling? >> in that polling, yeah. even as biden lost in iowa and new hampshire, he's still that eight national polls. we always say, we don't have national primaries, but we got to have national primaries now. what i have experienced in talking to trump voters is not day -- it's just a much deeper thing for them, but it is about vindication, retribution, revenge for their guy who gets at their life so clearly. >> electability is like two steps

. >> jen palmieri, you've run these campaigns. you had to tell these stories to an american public.tory be for joe biden? the one he's come up with so far, things have gotten better. we got you through covid. the economy is improving. also, the stakes of this election could not be higher, in that the democracy they may slip away from us if he is not re-elected. that's the case they're making. >> the contrast is always going to be, i mean, given the threat, the contrast is always the most important thing, the most probably convincing thing. but i think the point of the discussion has been going on, what's missing is something inspiring about what's going right in your life. donald trump does a great job identifying with everything that's going wrong in people's lives. i think what the white house could do is instead of talking about, you know, i did this or i did that, this is what america did. this is what you did. we got through this together. you worked really hard during the pandemic to protect your family and keep your family going. now, we, together, have built a new foundation

. >> jen palmieri, with all your experience at the highest level of presidential campaigns, what doesep praying independent voters and possible republican voters away from donald trump? or do they want a clear shot at donald trump right now, the longer they get to go one on one with donald trump the better? >> they won both things, lawrence. i think that's what they were telling us tonight. it was very interesting they put out that statement that said that if donald trump was going to be the nominee. i think the campaign has been operating, and the white house, is if the general election on january 5th. that was the valley forge speech. you see that even there cutting pretty troll and what they're saying about donald trump on the campaign's ex account. you see them, and i think i feel like they're getting some traction. they're getting some traction -- good economic news stands to take hold. and they're getting some action on training for foreign trump. i think they're telling us, don't take your eye off the ball. he's going to be the nominee. but it's also true that as, you know, jus
