i spoke with michigan congresswoman debbie dingell. representative dingell, good morning. you have said that the president is -- and i'm quoting here -- attacking the integrity of our elections but do we know what he actually said to the lawmakers in that meeting? >> i have not talked to the lawmakers that were there or anybody in the meeting. so, no, i'm only reading the same reports you are reading. >> so what are the next shoes to drop here? the certification is supposed to happen monday and does that close the chapter? >> well, then when they certify, the electors will have to be appointed, and hopefully once the votes have been certified as having gone for joe biden the democratic electors will be appointed and will vote and joe biden will have the electors and electoral colleges from michigan. >> is there any wiggle room in that period after the vote is certified and then the electors are assigned? is there any wiggle room for the legislature, two of whose members were in the white house yesterday, to intervene in some way? >> i think we have to be alert and aware th

i want to bring in debbie dingell from michigan who joins me.us with your state in the head lines this morning. >> it's good to be with you. >> you had a message on twitter for top michigan lawmakers to stop undermining our democracy. have you reached out to them directly to ask them to cancel this meeting or to talk to them about it? >> you know, i have been talking to a number of people. i did leave messages for them. i'm trying to -- this is what my concern is at this point. i think every vote needed to be counted. i don't care who you cast your vote for. we needed to make sure they were counted. now we certify the voets. but what's happening and there's a deliberate strategy to undermine confidence in the election, there are thoughts the integrity of the election, it's attacking the pillars of our democracy. it's not only what's happening now, but the precedent for elections in the future. what people trust their elections. they are trying to draw out the process, to continue to underniunde undermine people's confidence. we have to believe i

debbie dingell said in order to audit, you have to first certify. the order wouldn't be correct if this person were to believe that the audit would come before the certification. now we have that sound byte from a conversation you heard with congressman dingell a little earlier go. >> first of all, there won't be a constitutional crisis in the country. i do want people to pay attention to the fact that the speaker of the michigan house who met with president trump on friday might night said that. the electoral votes are there in the other states. what is being done now is directly aimed at undermining people's confidence in the election process, the integrity of the elections. the certification tomorrow is simple math. they look at the certification that's been done by 83 counties. they certified that it's done. then you can do audits. you are not allowed to do audits until that certification takes place. >> you can see and hear her frustration, kristen. >> absolutely. i do want to note, fred, hear her talk about pennsylvania, we have learned the tr

and i do want to share my respect for deb d debbie dingel.ings and a lot of congress works that way. you just don't see it. because on the big issues, we do have some divides. but look, energy is one of the areas where we have thrived under president trump. we were not only able to make our own energy, which helps national security, creates great jobs in states like pennsylvania but also allows us to make things in america again, states like michigan. why you see steel being made in pennsylvania again because of trump's energy policies. joe biden made it clear, number one, the green new deal is on his website. he says he doesn't support it. why does he have it on the website. when he hangs around with lady gaga and a other of celebrities that fly around on private planes but tell you not to use oil an natural gas, people see through that. the video is there, clearly, of joe biden in some settings saying he'll get rid of fracking, in other settings saying he won't. just like defunding police. joe biden on a stage will say he's not for defundin

joining us, congresswoman debbie dingell and congresswoman madeleine dean. welcome, both. we've been talking about pennsylvania, congresswoman dean, let me ask you, you're from one of the collar counties and we expect they will deliver a lot of this mail-in vote. are you confident, as the biden camp is today, that you'll carry pennsylvania? >> i'm feeling very optimistic. thank you for having me, and hello, debbie, great to see you and the great work you've been doing. i'm feeling confident and optimistic but we have to let people finish the work ahead of us. it's very hard to practice but i've been saying all along, we have to have patience and let the people do the work of counting all the votes. here in montgomery county, as you were pointing out on the board, we still have 60,000 mail-in ballots, a little more than that, to be counted in montgomery county. and joe biden, kamala harris, have a 61-37 point lead. i expect that lead will continue and widen. i'm feeling optimistic. we have to do our due diligence, we have to be patient. this process is working and it is sec

debbie dingell, who is a democratic congresswoman said that what donald trump was trying to do was to put pressure on these 2 officials to try and make sure that michigan, which is a republican run state when it comes to sending voters along to the electoral college vote for donald trump, rather than follow the popular vote, now there are laws in place to stop that it would be incredibly difficult for anyone to do that. and also mike shirky, who is the leader of the republicans in the house in the senate in michigan has already said they will not be set to firing donald trump as the winner. he will follow the popular vote. so this just might have been shirky taking the opportunity to come to the if you're summoned by the president, you tend to go along. but he's already said that he is not going to vote in any other way than with the popular vote. which of course means joe biden wins michigan couple of weekends underway in wisconsin as well, but unlikely to overturn the result there, which means that joe biden will win the state. so as it stands at the moment, joe biden has 306 electo

dingell? >> good morning, maria. you have the debbie caucus in full force this morning.-- maria: i love the debbie caucus. >> yeah. debbie and i do a lot together. we've got to come -- that is certainly something we owe every voter in the country and we need to investigate allegations of fraud. but so far, allegations have been investigated in the state of michigan, in particular, have not had any substance to them and what i am concerned about is that there are efforts to undermine the legitimacy and confidence in the election. so let's investigate. when there's nothing found, we've got to move on. look towards the future. maria: congresswoman lesko, the trump administration is saying yeah, we want to count every legal vote. what they've identified is some votes that are illegal. your reaction? >> well, yeah, i agree with debbie. congratulations, debbie, by the way. we do work together on a lot of things. >> thank you. >> yes, no, we have to -- this isn't over. i mean, we haven't even stopped counting votes here in arizona and the lead for biden is really shrinking ever

debbie dingell said that what trump was trying to do was to put pressure on these officials to try ande sure that michigan, which is a republican run state when it comes to sending voters to the electoral college, vote for donald trump rather than the popular vote. there are laws in place to stop that. mike sharkey, the leader of the republicans in the senate in michigan, has already said they will not be certifying donald trump as the winner. he will follow the popular vote. this might have been shirkey taking the opportunity to go to the white house. he has already said he is not going to vote in any other way but with the popular vote, which means joe biden wins michigan. recounts underway in wisconsin, but they are unlikely to overturn the result, which means joe biden will win that state. as it stands, joe biden has 306 electoral college votes. that is exactly the figure that donald trump had four years ago, and you will remember in the days after the election donald trump kept talking about 306 electoral college votes, in his view, that was a landslide. imran: alan fisher live at

what i would also suggest is the idea of debbie dingell on the today show talking up the congresswoman and part of the political landscape of michigan. "joe biden will win michigan." she is supposed to say that, but there is nevertheless. the confidence as we get more results. lisa: people are looking at the way the composition is coming in. a lot of the detroit region has not been counted, now it is being counted. it is coming in strongly for the former vice president. still a lot more to go. georgia raised, very close. there are about 127,000 absentee ballots still to be counted in dekalb county as well as the county where atlanta sets. hard to see how joe biden will overcome that 100,000 vote lead for president trump, but such a net net race. -- a neck and neck race. 87% counted in michigan. isaac boltansky joins us. we look at policy and we do it now with a different view of a new senate. isaac boltansky, how will this mcconnell senate be different? important to talk about stimulus. that is the question my clients have focused on. if leader mcconnell stays leader mcconnell and the

. >> desjardins: mn congresswoman debbie dingell condemned the move.> clearly an attempt by president to change the results of the elections. let me be very clear: this goes beyond partisan politics and it's an attempt to subvert our democracy, and underminehe will of michigan voters. if they do not certi the results of the election on monday, they are breaking the law. >> desjardins: outrage is coming from a few members of the utah senator mitt romneyoo. tweeted: "it is difficult toin ima worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting american president." in a statement, nebraska senator ben sasse wrote, "trump campaign lawyers have stood before courts under oath, they have repeatedly refused to actually allege grand fraud, because there are legal consequences for lying to judges." now nearly two weeks from biden being declared the winner, it is still unclear when any formal white house transition will begin. >> woodruff: and lisa joins me now, along with yache alcindor. so, yamiche, to you, first, as we just heard in lisa'report, the president is meeti

in fact, we heard from representative debbie dingell who says they were supposed to certify first ando an audit. the big question is whether this one republican is going to vote to certify the election or create a deadlock, meaning 2-2. now, if that happens, the state speaker of the house, republican, said that this could lead to chaos or even a constitutional crisis. now, another big thing i want to point out here, also supposed to see a certification in pennsylvania. that's done a little bit differently. it is not a statewide certification. that's done county by county. last night, we saw the trump campaign was appealing a brutal ruling by a conservative judge in pennsylvania. the question now is how that will affect that state's, pennsylvania's certification. >>> laura and boris. >>> more cracks are showing in president trump's wall of gop support. some high profile republicans are losing patience with the baseless nonsensical claims the president's legal team is making about election fraud. here's former new jersey governor chris christie, someone who's usually a staunch ally of t

we'll talk to congresswoman debbie dingell, democrat, in just a few minutes. corke, thank you. leland: arkansas congressman, member of the house armed services committee, congressman, appreciate you being there. congress hasn't been able to get the second stimulus bill now for six or seven months. it's going to happen in the next 11 days? >> well, leland, happy thanksgiving. thanks for having me. it should. we've been trying to get exactly those common sense measures that both governors talked about passed since late july. leland: yeah. >> and we need to get this done. we need to extend the paycheck protection program for our small businesses. we need to give our governors flexibility to spend the cares act money that they have, and that's critical because that date ends 12/31 of this year. so we we need to do that. and finally for our families that are still suffering, they need access and knowledge about -- leland: yeah, i think a lot of people could agree there's a number of things that should happen in washington that don't always happen the way they shoul

de debby dingell said that the law says you have to certify and have an audit. it's unclear what exactly will happen if they do not certify. what are the next steps? something we are watching very closely. >> maybe we will get answers. stand by. i want to bring in michigan's secretary of state. thank you so much for joining us. when we spoke on friday, you expected the count would be certified tomorrow. is that in doubt right now? what's the latest? what's going on? >> i think we have to remember the law is very clear. it has been said consistently through voices, including all four most recent governors of the state of michigan on both sides of the aisle who have confirmed and reaffirmed the view that under the law, the count and the election clearly should be certified. the role of the state board of canvassers is very clearly defined in the law. it says they shall certify the election. the law very clearly says, after that certification, any audits can begin. we talked about repeatedly how we will do a risk limiting statewide audit after the certification as

. >> let's listen to what congresswoman debbie dingell had to say about this situation. >> there werely thousands of people who had never been involved in politics before who were nonpartisan observers in precinct after precinct across the state of michigan. and they continue to tell us that they saw no misconduct, everything has been looked at, and we need to move on. we need to not undermine people's confidence in our democracy. >> what is your sense of the state at this point? clearly a majority of the voters are in favor of joe biden going forward. but how much political payoff is there for republicans in somehow trying to appear to resist this? >> well, we have seen time and time again this election season is that when republicans try to undermine democracy, the people and the voters step up to defend and protect democracy. we saw that with those people who worked the poll for the first time, 30,000 people as the congresswoman said. but we also saw when the wayne county bored of canvassers attempted undermine the votes of black detroit voters like me and my wife, we saw people st

congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan is here to weigh in.

debbie dingell congresswoman from michigan joins us now.g up early or staying up late depending what your week looks like. this race seems like a referendum on trump but it seems like a referendum on the far left. a lot of moderate democrats who are furious about the progressive poll and it may cost the democratic party and we'll see. you are someone from michigan. that progressive flow may work in a place like new york but what does it do for where you are? >> good morning. i don't know what i am, up late or up early, but everybody needs to take a deep breath and stop. we got to be very careful to not be judgmental. we've got a lot of people who are pointing fingers at everybody and i don't, look, rashida tlaib's district and mine are so intertwined, we don't even realize it and she represents the district that she represents and we do things together, because we literally have steel plants that are half in her district, half in mine, she borders the rouge of complex, and we work together on a lot of things, i think we got to take a deep b

here to discuss michigan democratic congresswoman debbie dingell.woman. >> ainsley, good morning, great to be with you. ainsley: good to see you. two days away from the election. hard to believe. they're in michigan there together. what do you think about that? they're bringing in president obama, and sending him down to florida and georgia. are they worried and need him in those areas. >> this is what i will say. i've been telling everybody this race is competitive. you've been talking accurately who turns out to vote. one of the groups very strong support, i know we're supporting joe biden, is urban black american vote. a lot of those people still have to get out and vote. so we need to energize them. what happened four years ago a lot of people in michigan, 90,000 people didn't even mark the ballot of the ticket. a lot of people didn't turn out. right now we're down to a turnout game. hopefully those visits energize people and result in increasing numbers in flint and detroit. ainsley: yeah. he is such a powerful speaker. he is so good i'm not su

debbie dingell in michigan, good to have you. do you know anything about this?hat there was a glitch, a significant one that could have caused some ballots, democrats rather than republican? >> good to be with you. i am of the school we need to take the time to make sure every vote counts, every vote matters. it is great to see increased numbers on both sides but turned out this year, but also a lot of claims are being made to undercut people's confidence in the outcome, the integrity of the election outcome. there have been a lot of things said that are not true that have been proven not to be true. we have to be very very careful of all these allegations, nobody has seen -- neil: i understand that but do you know anything about these ballots that might have been miscast? an error with the machinery, i don't know. thousands of ballots obviously given the tightness a race could be a significant development. >> one of the things that happened on election day, dearborn, my hometown got a ton of phone calls and emails of people warning people there was a glitch in

so we have not seen a lot new, and this is 9,000 that debbie dingell says that the votes are coming in faster than that, and they have built a little lead. it is a smattering in detroit, and a smattering in flint. and it is a significant chunk in grand rapids. on paper, that is biden leaning. it is going to be just slightly tighter in that senate race. and i will show you that here for the republicans ahead. >> and for people just tuning in, and they are wondering with the late votes, and these are the absentee votes, and what votes are these? what are we waiting for overall? >> well, as i am doing a little refresher here, we have been tracking the type of the way that people voted. so you had people who went to the polls yesterday. that is the yellow. then you had the people who did the mail-in ballots or the voting early, and that is the orange. we expect that this is going to be a lot more here, and of this number that is left, most of it is mail vote, and that is going to be of course democratic-leaning this year. so that is why there is this pessimism on the republican side, becau

like to yield three minutes to the democratic sponsor of the bill, congressman -- congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan. the speaker pro tempore: the congresswoman is recognized. mrs. dingell: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in support of the block, report and suspend suspicious shipments act which would crack in on suspicious practices the ongoing opioid epidemic which still remains one of the most significant health challenges facing our country. in 2018 over 67,000 americans still lost their lives to drug overdoses. and preliminary data for 2019 suggests that deaths are rising again. my home state of michigan has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic which has been exacerbated by covid-19. we have seen a 15% year-over-year increase in fatal overdoses across the entire state since march of this year. new tools to address pill dumping and other dodgey practices that perpetuated the opioid crisis are needed more now than ever. the block, report and suspend suspicious shipments act will crack down on these abuses. it will improve oversight of the opioid supply chain by mandating the drug man

. >> norah, debbie dingell is the congresswoman from the detroit area, famously been quite pessimisticthinks they'll be able to pull that off. she texted close, but okay. that's a signal the democrats feel they'll be able to hold onn >> o'donnell: let's take a look at some of the exit polls with major garrett. major. >> reporter: norah and team, one of the things that's most fascinating about the so-called trump effect on politics-- i saw it in the 2016 campaign, covered it in the trump white house-- things we thought we understood are no longer true than they used to be. i'll talk about approval ratings and battleground polls. national approval, president trump, 47 approve, 51 disapprove. this historically would be a danger zone for an incumbent president seeking reelection. george w. bush narrowly won reelection in 2004 when his approval rating was 53%. barack obama won reelection, 54%. we would assume at 47%, donald trump would be in real jeopardy. well, let's go to the numbers at battleground states, and let me show you that the national number doesn't speak to where it matters the

we're joined now by michigan democratic congresswoman debbie di dingell. >> i appreciate you joiningamong the lot of folks who haven't been to sleep. we hear so much, congresswoman, about the blue wall, the democratic blue wall, the vice president, former vice president joe biden flipped michigan. dems have part of the blue wall back. how significant is this? >> well, i think it is very significant. you know, michigan's always closer than everybody thinks it's going to be. i almost got killed by several people when i said michigan had tightened last week, but we're a state that's a very diverse state. but we did deliver it in the end. i think it's women that delivered it, and when this election is done, dom, we have to really look at what happened across america. >> i want to talk about that. you said you think women really delivered and then we can talk about looking back. why do you say that, tell me about that. >> women delivered for joe biden. no question. i really started thinking about this more in the last few days when the women's march, the weekend after the inauguration, i
