alex: the question is why isn't hawley on effort cruz announced today.t's plain to see that -- you have two rivals for the republican nomination in 2024 trying to win over the republican -- the trump base and hawley was first out of the gate, first republican senator that would sign onto an objection from the house to state's electoral votes and now cruz is coming out with his own response but what's notable here is that hawley has not signed nor tom cotton, rand paul, potentially could support an objection but not part of cruz effort. cruz is boxing out his other white house rivals to kind of take the spot that here and doing that successfully and what's brilliant about cruz, look, i'm just asking questions, what's wrong with an audit, why not take another look at this if people have lingering questions. what you will hear from mitch mcconnell and others, the role for resolving, the body for resolving electoral disputes are the courts, not the legislative body which is what congress is. molly: i think you got to the questions i was going to ask you abou
