the hill quoting a gop source as saying quote, costello is a goner, unless the map changes. congressman, are you a goner? >> no, i'm a candidate for re-election. listen, i'm not sure -- the reality is the pennsylvania supreme court just changed democratic. they unconstitutional rigged the map against me. i think in the next day or two, we will come to find that a federal court will confirm that the supreme court was not allowed to do that. it will go back to the old lines where hillary clinton still won my district by a point. i can't respond to an anonymous comment. it will certainly be, to your point, a very competitive election cycle. and certainly anti-trumpism if you will is prevalent in southeastern pennsylvania for sure. >> are you going to campaign with the president? >> i don't expect i'll be asking the president to campaign for me. i think in these races the most important thing is develop your own individual identity, run on your record, and not allow sort of external national forces to come in and take over your own. you didn't like this word earlier, but your ow

costello is not somebody who came to congress to answer questions about stormy daniels or about the personn the president's cabinet who got fired this week. this white house has made being in the majority in this congress not fun and not something where members like costello, who's a very active member up here, has worked on big legislation are feeling like they're not able to contribute, get on t.v. and do the thing that they came to washington to do. and that's contributing to this wave of retirement in this sort of flat emotional space for these republicans who just don't seem to be enjoying a lot of what they're doing on capitol hill. >> you see it in their faces when they get asked these questions about other topics. and aleck you got the new piece on re-election for david nunes that stems his roll in the russian investigation. you say other californians can be if trouble too. explain that. >> right chris, california is going to be crucial to the house thanks to its size. a lot of fired up liberals and suburban night identities. -- that doesn'tin' include nunes bhoz a yew phoenix targ
