u. s. senator, she needs to project that and just going back for a moment. what willie brown had to say. that's why resigning the presidency, which is not going to happen at this point, but something to give her the chance to have that gravitas. you know, the east room press conferences that the photo ops she has to project somehow that she's able to be commander in chief and i'm reminded of that. i watched that clip of her right just now how the life she can be as a human being. but for most americans to take your her seriously as a commander in chief she needs to project authority and she's going to have to work >liz>on that. all right, marc sandalow, thank you so much. a lot of tech titans and silicon valley threw their support behind former president trump. so would kamala. harris. >>>>i'm excited for kamala. i'm sad for biden. i i think he you know. did a great job. he, you know, gave five decades of his life for camilla in terms of like the opportunity to have a first female president. it will give some incentive too. the general population but also es

u. s. senate hearing many countries are supposedly eager to interfere on the american elections in november. in china, russia, iran had been north, 3 others have been designated as corn adversaries. the truth is, we're 48 days away from an election. and the final point i want to make clear is that we need to do all we can before the election. but i also think it's not like at the end of the election night, critically assuming how close this election will be and that this will be over my, one of my greatest concerns is that the level of this information, just information that may come from our adversaries. after the polls close, could actually be a significant is anything that happens up to closing of the polls on election night . we're stuck with human and labor rights lawyer done because of all like who says american officials are afraid of the truth coming out. the us narratives on issues like ukraine, guys are falling apart and not because of russian. a legend russian propaganda book . because because the facts on the ground contradict what the u. s. is claiming about those conflicts. wh

u. s. senate has already passed a $60000000000.00 military aid package for ukraine, but it has been held up in the house of representatives. that's because far right, republicans don't support the measure. and they apparently have threatened to mike johnson with the speakership. if he brings the senate version of that spending package to the house floor for a vote, a house democrats for their part or tried to use a parliamentary mover to try to force a vote on the measure. but there's no guarantees that will work. so unless, until mike johnson decides to allow the members with the house of representatives to vote on the $60000000000.00 package, there won't be any additional funding for ukraine, at least not coming from washington any time soon. rosalind jordan elders era washington joe biden and donald trump both have one enough delegates to secure their parties. presidential nominations for november, so 5, and passed the threshold after winning the primary and the state of georgia. while donald trump secured the republican nomination after winning the primary in washington state's polic
