i'll speak to the republican governor of new hampshire, chris sununu ahead. >>> hello, i'm dana bash in washington where the state of our union is feeling competitive. democrats are starting to feel some optimism about holding onto the senate and even dreaming of keeping the house after a string of shifting political dynamics and policy moves, including this week's controversial decision by president biden to forgive student loan debt of up to $20,000 for some americans. the policy details are drawing critics on both sides of the aisle, but the move allows the president to keep a campaign promise and will provide relief to tens of millions of people. republicans who wanted the midterms to be a referendum on president biden are now contending with the near constant stream of new information about the former president. saturday the u.s. intelligence chief informed congress she is conducting a damage assessment of the documents taken from mar-a-lago, including a, quote, assessment of the potential risk to national security. her announcement comes after friday's release of the detakted s

you know if chris sununu runs that changes everything. >> it is true. no.look it's all flattering, people are talking i get it. twenty-two is my message to everyone in this country but stopped wearing about 24, stop wearing buttons running for president. knock on doors, pick up the phone that has to be done they'll have plenty of time for 22 but as we all know politics goes quickly the political landscape will be totally different one year from now but in even that will be six months before the first the nature primary of new hampshire a long ways to go over. >> you often mention mar-a-lago you said you're not anti- trumpet many have also said you have been somewhat of a thorn in the former president sieber he was a new hampshire former vice president mike pence touched on the backlash after the update search mar-a-lago, here he is, watch regards our party sins of the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level. in these attacks on the fbi must stop. calls to defend the fb are just as wrong as calls to defund the p

chris sununu in new hampshire. i can tell you that senator haskins was relieved when governor sununu announced he was not going to run for that seat. in doing so, he had some interesting comments about the way the senate works today that was really, it really rang true for those that cover the senate every day, talking about how the institution is not really built for getting things done. how being governor is a much more, you know, suitable position for him. so, i think that all of those factors combined make the terrain for republicans right now very, very difficult. and i think the former president's influence will continue to be, you know, a very problematic thing for people like mitch mcconnell, who even acknowledged yesterday or two days ago at an event, where he said the house is winnable for republicans, but the senate less so. and people in donald trump's crowd saw that as mitch mcconnell throwing in the towel and giving up. i saw it as an acknowledgment of reality on his part, seeing that many of these ca

. >> that's new hampshire governor chris sununu. it's worth noting, one of the two unprecedented aspects of this investigation is just how much the government made public. sometimes under court order, but still the unprecedented aspect of it all is that a former president is at the center of a. and what he's saying about it in a supercharged political -- already banned one armed attack so far on the fbi. tonight, the fbi said that president biden will travel to philadelphia for a primetime address what's being billed as a continued battle for the soul of the nation. we'll talk more about that tonight, first, the latest on the documents and the court fight over the documents and the damage assessment being done tonight by the director of national intelligence. cnn sarah murray joins us. sarah, what have justice officials said about the initial review of the documents seized at mar-a-lago? >> well, john it was clear from a court filing that the justice department has begun digging through these documents that they seized from the sear

. >> while chris sununu questions the timing of the search. >> former president trump has been out of office for going on two years now. you think this is a coincidence just happening a few months before the midterm elections and that sort of thing? this is unprecedented. >> republican senator roy blunt also raising concerns about the timing but admitting trump should have returned the documents immediately. >> i understand he turned over a lot of documents. he should have turned over all of them. i imagine he knows that very well now as well. >> now when it comes to that trove of documents the fbi took from mar-a-lago and whether there are potentially privileged items in there, the judge who is overseeing this issue has suggested that she's open to appointing a special master. she said a hearing for this issue on thursday. >> sara murray, thanks very much for that report. white house correspondent kaitlan collins joins us live. how is trump world responding to all the new developments here? >> they were excited over the weekend when they saw this judge signaling her intent to grant t

we, have your point new hampshire gop governor chris sununu is blasting biden and the ag for not anticipatingfan of trump. he is saying this is infuriating, looks politicized. what would necessitate such a dramatic unprecedented raid like this? >> that's a very good question but what i wanted to see was the receipt of the inventory, all the information taken from this. and being a member about the fbi's evidence response team for over 20 years i was subscribed very often, i took the evidence. i took control of it. i made sure it was all packaged perfectly. i think that is a big thing when you go into court to look how well everything is done. i looked at that inventory liz and i was really surprised because it pretty much just identified most things as a box, a box of this or a box of that and maybe i'm missing something but i would always feel that you had to tie that box to specifically, to specific evidence. for example, bank of america statements from february of 1999 to know march of 2012 is contained in box 1-a. then 1-b, whatever. you have to say what it is, so when you introduce it in

importantly, we are going to elect and reelect great conservative governors like your governor chris sununu who has done an extraordinary job in new hampshire. it is going to be important what our message is in those days and it has animated my travels around the country in so many ways. the conservative movement has always been built on the notion ideas have concert answers. conservatism is bigger than any one moment, any one election, anyone person. it has always been about ideas. i am proud to say under the trump pens administration it was those ideas we put into practice that transformed america, transformed american security and prosperity as never before. by putting common sense conservative principles into practice, a strong national defense, free-market economics, conservatives on our courts and unapologetically putting america first on the world stage, we achieve the lowest unemployment, the highest household income, the most pro-american trade deals, the most secure border, we made the most powerful military in the history of the world even more powerful. [applause] it is true. i

the message republican governor chris sununu has for the president. donald trump. on cnn governor sununu accused the president of you phooing divisivenesses. >> he's trying to stir up anti-republican sentiment right before the election. it's horribly inappropriate, insulting and people should be insulted and he should apologize. >> the biden administration says it will end the government program offering free at-home covid tests. he wanted to continue it but congress has not approved additional funding to replenish supply of those tests. >>> this quick programming note, don't miss this. ricking their lives to bring us the biggest headlines from around the world.

i thought chris sununu was better than that, he knows very well why this is happening now.ng the president since he left office, practically, to get these documents back. he's giving back some but not all, he's never come clean about all of it. they had to do this. and i'm totally with lucy, we can't call this a raid, it was not a raid. there were no guns, it was very legal, respectful, they had advance notice that it was happening. and it's happening now but it should've happened earlier, actually. i wish they had run out of patients earlier, but they played out with him and his ridiculous legal team for as long as they could stand it. now, it's over. and the people on their heels are obviously trump and his ridiculous legal team. >> i want to shift to, just for the heck of it, a comment this morning on fox yesterday. where lauren boebert, bless her heart, fires back at biden. let's just take a listen at how this failed. >> how the heck can joe biden call american first conservatives a threat to democracy with a straight face and a dry diaper? he is the one who has allowed

. >> that's new hampshire governor chris sununu, who is often critical of the former president. it is worth noting how much the government has made public, sometimes under court order, but still. the other unprecedented aspect of it all is that a former president is at the center of it and what he is saying about it in a supercharged political environment in which there has already been one armed attack so far on the fbi. tonight the white house said president biden will travel to philadelphia on thursday for a prime-time address on what is being billed as the continued battle for the soul of the nation. we'll talk more about that tonight. >>> first the latest on the documents, the court fight on the documents, and the damage assessment being done tonight by the director of national intelligence. cnn's sara murray joins us with that. what have the justice department said? >> john, it was clear from a court filing today that the justice department has begun digging through these documents they seized from this search in mar-a-lago. they're using a filter team. and what they said

you spoke to chris sununu on cnn's "state of the union." it was a great interview, so interesting to hear what he had to say. does it sound like he and other republicans are more concerned with the doj's misconduct than the handling of the sensitive documents, as you'll recall hillary clinton and how she handled classified documents. >> well, the question of what they're saying in public and what their actual concerns are might be two different questions. what is very clear is that republicans, particularly those who are on the ballot and even some like roy blunt, who is in sara's piece, who is retiring but clearly still wants to sort of be a republican team player. what they are all doing is talking process, is talking about how this all came about, even though, as andy said, what is clear or not when i interviewed governor sununu, i put up on the screen the timeline that shows that this was a 20-plus-month process that was delayed by donald trump and his lawyers, not by doj. but regardless, the key is that when pressed, they will say, of

gop governor chris sununu talked about it today. let's listen. >> horribly insulting. the fact that the president would go out and just insult half of america because effectively half america votes republican and half ultimately votes democrat. it swings a little bit one way or the other. effectively call half of america semifascist because he is trying to stir up controly, he is trying to stir up this anti-republican sentiment right before the election. it's just horribly inappropriate and insulting and people should be insulted by it. he should apologize. >> people like hochul and crist are representative of this leftist mindset that they do believe the conservative half of the country are effectively second class citizens. >> your opponent desantis taking the chance to criticize you as well as we heard. some are saying this is as bad as when hillary clinton termed trump supporters deplorables. do you think that is a productive message from the president of the united states against millions of americans? >> i think what is important is to state the facts as they are

has faced criticism for its comments i should know from republicans, like new hampshire governor chris sununujoe biden to apologize, and for me who looks at the evolution of joe biden, he came into the offices unifier, even though his own party was being a lot more aggressively this characterization of republicans. and i doubt he used those words lightly. with semi fascism label unfounded? >> absolutely not. this is the joe biden that so many of us have needed. they've been screaming from the rooftops, i want more of an lbj biden to show up, and so far he's finally, i think, realizing that this is, -- would domestic terrorism is and what we were seeing in the republican party. this is the republican party. this is who they are. it could no longer hide behind tax breaks. if you are in for a penny you are in for a pound. you are supporting, aiding and abetting people or threatening journalists and other citizens, threatening other politicians. threatening law enforcement. it is all part and parcel. if you're in the republican party this is what you stand for. i think joe biden has finally reach

the republican governor, chris sununu in new hampshire decided not to run for senate.two seats they could have picked up. and then it looks like they're going to blow winnable elections in both georgia and pennsylvania and the fact that wisconsin is on the line. so what does this say about the republican party? it may say that what works to win donald trump's favor is actually electoral poison when it comes to winning in november. >> electoral poison. >> sahil, before we let both of you go, i want to get to some new reporting you have. and that is the irs. they're coming after the irs in the wake of the agency getting a bump in funding from the inflation reduction act. but in an internal memo, janet yellin outlines the actual priorities for that money. what are some of the gripes and what's the reality? >> lindsey, republicans are certainly escalating their rhetoric against this $80 billion cash infusion that the irs is getting, culminaing in this extraordinary letter by senator rick scott, openly encouraging americans not to apply for irs positions, because in his vie

that was chris sununu of new hampshire, republicans on the sunday shows yesterday doing the talk showx-president and his possession of and hoarding of classified documents kept at mar-a-lago for 18 months. while republicans were expecting and boasting and chest-thumping about a big red wave in the upcoming midterm elections, their ex-leader seems to have taken some of the wind out of their sails. the cook political report has downgraded their house of representatives outlook to a gop gain of only 10 to 20 seats. it is enough to take control but a huge dropoff from previous predictions. luke broadwater writes in "the new york times" that some republicans are signaling concern that the referendum they anticipated on joe biden and the high inflation and gas prices is being complicated by all encompassing attention on the legal exposure of a different president, his predecessor. john heilemann, the host of the "hell & high water" podcast and eddie glaude, chairman of the department of african american studies at princeton university. john heilemann, i did everything but sing you a love so

he tried to recruit doug ducey, the governor of arizona, chris sununu in new hampshire.cans could have won four seats if you look at that, arizona, new hampshire, georgia, and with better candidates, and instead, i think the best case scenario for him is looking like a one, maybe two-seat majority in a wave year because they're just going to leave so many of these on the table with kooky and extreme candidates. >> that actually, you just created a perfect segue to jessica taylor. and jessica, i want to talk about the cook political report and what you have seen in the last weeks unfolding. you just made a change in one of your ratings on the pennsylvania race in the pennsylvania senate race from toss-up to lean democrat. i'm going to quote something from the report now.
