and cnn correspondent audie cornish. and david, let me start with you. i want to play a little bit more of speaker pelosi's speech today. listen to this. >> when i came to the congress in 1987, there were 12 democratic women. now there are over 90, and we want more. >> when i entered leadership in 2002, there were eight of us. today there are 17. members of the leadership. when i first came to the floor at 6 years old, never would i have thought that someday i would go from homemaker to house speaker. >> so david, help us appreciate a little bit the historic moment that the country's going through right now. >> well, first of all, it's hard to remember a time that she wasn't the leader of the democrats in the house because 20 years ago this week she was elected leader of the house. obviously being the first woman to serve as speaker of the house. but i think -- and she nodded to this in her remarks today. consequential pieces of legislation through -- she only gave a nod to three of the four presidents that she was serving as speaker with. she obviously

. >>> joining me right now is cnn audi cornish. what do you think of the case slotkin is making? she's been in tough re-elections before and she made that before. and in a republican-leaning district but also the move that liz cheney is making campaigns for her and putting money in other races. >> it probably looks unusual, but if you're going to have cheney campaign, this is the kind of district you would do that. you heard in the slotkin clip, the term is moderate arepublicans in terms of people she wans to appeal to. and this is a district up for grabs. but who is the constituency that is the centrist voter. that is something that we'll have more of a question kind of underscored over the next few years. who is the constituency for liz cheney and for slotkin, somebody who is centrist democrat in the same way, it is becoming harder and harder to be in line with some of the other positions in the party and then still are to defend those come general election time. >>ing? of an early test of the path forward for liz cheney here as well. for sure. so then in pennsylvania, the fett

with me in studio to share the reporting and insights, cnn dana bash, cnn audi cornish, laura lopez andgy collins. i want to put up the numbers. 261,000 jobs added. the unemployment rate ticking up a bit. in some ways because of good news. more people are looking and getting off the sidelines saying it's a good time. the fundamentals, the bones of the economy are strong and yet there's the big but of inflation. >> that's right, john. one of the key takeaways for us was the economy is starting now to show signs of slowing. but not crashing, right, so that means a couple of things. the fed is going to keep jacking up interest rates in order to try to cool that inflation down, we did see that women's jobless rates climbed and really drove the unemployment rate going up to 3.7 so that is concerning but also did see a lot of jobs added in health care and needed that in the economy. >> so let's look across the sectors before we move on, health care, 53,000 new jobs, professional and technology jobs are up, leisure and hospitality jobs are up, manufacturing jobs are up again, again, the fundam

cnn anchor and correspondent audie cornish is here. >> good morning to you. >> he's being intentionallyobvious because he needs eyes, needs attention -- i mean, elon musk -- to twitter and part of the whole thing about restoring the former president, do a poll is a look at me. >> i'm glad you're saying this because there's a business for that. elon musk doesn't believe in advertising. tesla never really did advertising because he thinks good products sell on their own. problem is, you just bought a company that runs on 90% advertising. >> and doesn't sell cars. >> doesn't sell anything. so brand safety and how advertisers feel about what is on the site along with their ads is meaningful. and lots said they were going to hit pause when he first bought it and started talking about trump. >> i can't believe advertisers are fleeing given what he tweeted the last 24 hours, talking about trump wanting to get back on twitter. what i was confused about saturday night, elon musk said he was going to form a content moderation council no reinstatements would happen before then. then a twitter poll

joining us now is audi cornish. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> ron desantis is running and republicansresident for calling him out. do you think this is going to have any effect in florida? >> first of all, i mean, florida, desantis is doing really well right now. he's expected to win, because he wants to, because he won so n narrowly in 2020 and getting a nickname from trump is respect. and someone saying lay off. so he's aware. people are asking why is biden in new york, why is trump in florida? people are going where they wanted. i think trump got ahead of himself a little bit. >> it's obvious he's concerned about desantis. >> he's putting a poll up on the screen at his rally in florida which desantis was not invited to, i should note, they're holding separate rallies in the state. showing how much more popular trump is. >> while he's mired in defending himself in various legal battles and dealing with the january 6th committee fallout. desantis has been out there talking about education, culture war issues, and basically leading in a trump space without the trump baggage. >> you me

. >>> joining me now cnn correspondent manu raju and cnn correspondent audi cornish, the host of thest calls the assignment. manu, the new democratic house leadership, how do you -- how do you see this taking shape? we see who the lead candidates are of course. but with pelosi and others in charge for 20 years of the democratic party in the house, are people worried at all about, i don't know, a learning curve just as they head into a cl challenging period. >> they have an advantage because they have in the minority. it is a different situation if they are in the majority and had to put together a agenda and manage the floor and corral votes and that is different when you're the minority party. what you have to do is ensure t that you are lined up in opposition. you'll see republican bills that are designed to rile up their base and that they unite their party that will unite democrats in opposition. so in an opposition party is an easier task. and if there are situations in which some members of the democratic caucus, more moderates want to vote for republicans, that could be fine b

cnn's audie cornish, laura brown lopez of the pbs news hour. and julie hirshfeld davis of the "new york times." this is a big moment anyway because of the big transition here in washington, but it's also a big moment because nancy pelosi will be in the history books regardless of what she says right here. the first woman elected as a party leader in congress. the first woman elected speaker of the house. then back into the minority and then back as speaker. that she's presiding, is that a clue that she wants to be up in the rostrum one more time with the gavel? >> i mean, it certainly has the feel of a valedictory with all of her colleagues gathered on the floor, a standing ovation. there's clearly a celebratory sort of atmosphere in there. but again, it doesn't necessarily tell you whether that means she's exiting gracefully or she's going to stay and fight. she's kind of indicated a little bit of each in the last few weeks. but as you said, you know, she is the first woman speaker. no one will take that title away from her, that place in hist

joining us, jamie gangle, audie cornish and mark preston.ot for the democrats who are facing a lot of head winds as we all know right now? >> but it also speaks to the problem we're facing about election denial. look, the gop strategists i've been talking to say that we should expect them to fight in every battleground state. they have set the stage to muddy the waters with election denial. misinformation, disinformation, why? because they've seen it work. they've seen it work by saying there's election fraud when it's something very minor. so i'm told we should expect whatever the race is, if it's close, even if it's not so close, that this is going to be the gop playbook, muddy the waters, election denial and let's not forget how many of these candidates are running as election deniers. you know, the stage has been set. >> on that point in michigan, audie, governor whitmer's opponent tudor dixon claimed former president trump actually won the 2020 presidential election. do you think her stance on this conspiracy theory has actually helped

audie cornish, cnn anchor and correspondent and mark preston, cnn senior political analyst, mark, it'sdates lost some key races last night. what's your analysis? other trump-backed candidates are trailing even as we speak right now. what's your analysis of how bad a time this was for trump? >> i mean, it was terrible. we had this conversation about this time yesterday about would he take credit or would he take responsibility? and he's clearly not taking responsibility. in fact, what was telling last night, two tell, first tell was when he gave his speech down at mar-a-lago because he had a victory party even though he wasn't on the ballot but that's donald trump. but when he gave a victory speech, he turned to the alabama senate candidate who was going to win no matter what and used that as an exam many of somebody who he endorsed, you know, to, you know, win the seat in alabama which is like going to alaska and, you know, endorsing snow, right? i mean it's there. it is going to happen. the second big tell j.d. vance in ohio when he was thanking everybody for their help and for -- eve
