(justine) ten years ago today americans elected a young senator from illinois named barack obama to be the 44th president of the united states. he was the countries first black president. obama posted this photo on instagram and twitter... the anniversary brought emotional tributes to obama on twitter. (justine) today -- former president barack obama campaigned in chicago and indiana. he praised democratic senator joe donnelly during aally in gary, indiana as someone who's honest and direct, telling voters "you don't want a yes man." reports say donnelly has often sounded far more like president donald trump than obama on issues. he's angered some

of texas, much of it from the state of california and new york and texas republicans as governor greg abbottnot just sit back, texas republicans need to step and continue to deliver for the people of texas. republicans need to listen to people like kevin faulkner, the mayor of the city of san diego where i am right now, biggest city in america with a republican mayor. there are not a lot of big cities in america with republican mayors. governors baker and larry hogan of massachusetts and maryland have things to say. they're the most popular governors in america, they're republicans in heavily democratic states. i hope that there is an opportunity to listen to these republicans who have succeeded in heavily democratic areas and left-hand their voice to the national conversation going forward. >> what about the trump effect, ron? listen to these brookings statistics. 21 of the 75 candidates endorsed by president trump won their elections while 39 of the 74 endorsed by president obama won. that's according to the brookings study. what does this tell bus tus aboe trump effect? are republicans ev

greg abbott carrying by ten plus points and a lot of these districts. he's obviously exciting, lots of energy there but i think really in contrast to what mark was saying, it's not so much where the democrat party is going. it's where joe biden is going. joe biden was on the next few months deciding if he wants to run. obviously reports he regretted not running in 2016. if he decides to get in there, i think a lot of people are going to clear out and as you saw the number, he's well ahead of bernie sanders, 20 points ahead of him. as a next most serious challenger for the democratic nomination. i think it hinges on joe biden but yeah, 2018 midterms still going on. still picking up seats. i don't know how we are already in this 2020 mass. >> shannon: two biden, beto is getting comparisons to barack obama. politico says bernie and warren have competition. completely changes the game if beto runs. he should. he is barack obama but why did that came from an unnamed democratic fund-raiser. >> that article had an interesting line, noting it hasn't been since
