increasingly appears to be absolutely brazen electoral fraud on behalf of the republican candidate mark harris. joeo with wsoctv tweeting tonight that the state board of elections has issued subpoenas for the harris campaign and others. this comes after the state's largest newspaper, the charlotte observer called for a new election in the quote/unquote tainted district. north carolina's bipartisan board of elections has twice refused to certify the results in the district where harris leads by 105 votes. we must have an oversight hearing to look into this. joining me in luberton, wsoctv reporter joe bruno who has done the best reporting on this story. joe, what is the latest here? thanks so much first of all for that compliment there. the latest really is that subpoenas have been issued to the mark harris campaign, the campaign of jim mcvicker who is the sheriff of bladen could want and also red dome. red dome worked heavily with the mark harris campaign. the reason the subpoenas were issued to these three groups is very likely because of their connections to mccray dallas. >> he's the individual w

. >> harris: joe biden, bernie sanders, or beto o'rourk beto o'rourke. i mean -- i think beto has the best chance out of those three. >> harris: really? he raised $80 million in texas. he talked about how he could have helped them win. talking with the right stuff. in terms of that woman that you like, who is she? >> her name is chelsea gabbard, combat veteran. i think she will actually pull people from the other side of the aisle who aren't comfortable with president trump. she is also very progressive in her beliefs. >> harris: she is very progressive. yep. your thoughts? >> it will be very interesting. whoever is the nominee for the democratic party on the 2020 election is going to determine the narrative of their message. exactly what do they stand for? is it going to be the progressive representing the party, was going to be -- >> harris: is a really about that, or is it more about who can beat president trump? in a marketing sense, and center stage on a debate? i think that has a lot of weight. great to see you both. i have to let you go, but i hope

kamala harris, joe biden, corey booker among the possible candidates who are reportedly meeting with break to mull a possible campaign. back with the panel now. we tease someone who is not going to strategist about their message. some of you guessed wrong. but anyway, i'm going to read a quote and it will give you the answer. buzzfeed interviewed cory booker about a possible 2020 run. he said where other potential candidates have sought advice, booker told strategists he knows exactly what he would run on, a campaign about love and inclusion, the ideal as he sometimes describes it, of radical love. is that a winning message? >> you go first. >> you're the radical love expert. >> i'm radical love. we all know that cory booker is very media-savvy. we watched the justice reform passage, how he was basically straddling the world. and we know he is the most liberal of the members of the caucus. so i think he has every reason to believe in himself and his ability to perhaps be the second african-american president. >> crystal, who should republicans be concerned about? you heard the list a

but i think kamala harris -- beto o'rourke is the real deal. i don't think joeren runs or cory booker runs. senator harris is going to run. >> so you think it's kamala harris? >> i do. i hope. >> you don't think cory booker runs. katie? what do you think? i know that's not exactly justice department talk, but you're a citizen and you vote and you have concerns >> i think that it would be great to see a woman who's qualified and fantastic run. i will just say that. i think for the democrats, the most important thing is did they learn their lesson from 2016, which is whoever is the nominee, you just vote for. i don't care if it is a man, a woman, i don't care about their race. if democrats want to win, they have to get behind the candidate that wins the nomination, which is something they were enable to do in 2016. you can't have another one of those. >> we can't have the perfect be the enemy of the good. >> i thought i was the one around the table that believed in faith. you talk about the democrats, that's a lot. thank you, eric. >> so you're not running? >> i'm

intellectuals, and baldwin arranged for several of them to meet at joe kennedy's apartment in manhattan. and lorraine hans bury, harry bell fonty was there, various members of the black intelligencia were at this meeting, and they all started dumping on robert kennedy. robert kennedy thought it was -- he would go there and they would all praise him for what the kennedy administration was doing. and triggered by remarks of jerome smith who had been a freedom writer and beaten very badly in the south, and was in new york getting treatment and had been invited to this meeting, and he got up and said to robert kennedy, so you're talking about all the great things that you're doing for us, our people are getting beaten in the south and you're -- including me and you're not doing anything to protect us. and everybody instantly got on his side, and started dumping on robert kennedy. robert kennedy was absolutely shocked. he never expected any of this. after which he was very bitter about it, and made very personal ad homnm comments about people at the meeting, and he said why do i even care about them, they're not speaking

and joe biden is well known but kamala harris got a lot of democratic support during the hearings. e biden. if they have some debates, she could do quite well. a lot of people forget that joe biden became the punch line of a lot of jokes in the time that he was in the white house. i think people forget that because they miss obama so much that they want to grab onto whatever is associated with him so they go with joe biden. >> jessica: there is talk that joe biden's politics would be interesting. we will be back with more "outnumbered" in just a moment. >> kennedy: big thanks to james freeman. did you have a good time on the couch? >> james: i didn't even feel outnumbered. i had a great time. >> kennedy: it's new year's day every day on the couch. >> lisa: i think we should put christmas trees up year-round. we will be back tomorrow on the couch at noon eastern, we will go to julie banderas, and for harris. >> julie: let's go "outnumbered: overtime." i am julie banderas and for harris faulkner. an unannounced visit to iraq, trump told service members "u.s. troops will stay in that c

. >> juan: the interesting thing is that joe biden clearly in this poll, harvard harris, published in place was bernie sanders. i think what they are looking for is almost in the model, dan dana, this might appeal like george w. bush. someone with experience, knows washington, knows how the game is played. i differ with my colleagues. i think biden and sanders, they would love to trade punches. >> greg: it's like the two old guys from the muppets. >> juan: what is donald trump then? steve are talking about energy. >> juan: then you get mike bloomberg. everyone's going to have issues. ronald reagan's favorite saying when he was debating against, who was he debating, mondale? he says i'm not going to use my opponent's youth and inexperience against him. these folks who are older might have great appeal. >> dana: i am not being ageist. i want to mentioned and lisa i will get your comments and i know greg wants to weigh in. michael avenatti, the creepy you know what lawyer, announcing today that he's not going to run in 2020. the democrats probably getting a pass on that one. >> lisa: i t

do they go to the more stable joe biden or more progressive kamala harris type of candidate?e moderates and business democrats and what have you, they are still the strongest part of the party i think america, democrats and republicans want to move this country forward. we need more moderate dems and republicans to move the party forward. that being said have you named really great candidates and there are a list of dark horses don't forget you have stacey abrams out of georgia. have you gill lamb out of florida who both lost state races when you national impact and national base. to say win this race you i got to be able to raise a billion dollars. a message national organization. two years out if you are still a dark horse after march or june it's not going to happen. the ones you named main line democratic presidential nominees they are organizing already they are raising money already and gearing up already. >> eric, i know you are there in california where there are not a lot of trump spear hers running for president is no easy task. the president like to campaign and lo

joe biden, bernie sanders, beto o'rourke, elizabeth warren, kamala harris and corey booker.as third in a crowded field then. your thoughts as you see that list? >> yes. b beto o'rourke is a phenomenon now. he inspired people around the country with his campaign, particularly younger people. and that is the basis for a strong candidacy if he decides to run. he has the ability to raise the money that's necessary. more importantly, in some ways, he has a kind of ready-to-go organization around the country, young people in particular ready to march behind him. he has to decide if he wants to do it. the fact of having never set foot in iowa, that he would poll so strongly has to be encouraging to him. >> you can already see the other candidates or potential candidates reacting or making decisions based on beto o'rourke. that's the most interesting thing. david, thank you for join iing . have a good day. >> thanks. you too. y the masculine fragrance. yves saint laurent. i got beat up because whati was different.? you can't keep on running away from your problems. so, i created a w

according to a new harvard harris poll, the top choices are bernie sanders, joe biden, and beto o'rourketwo old men and a baby. [ laughter ] biden, bernie and beto. the front-runners, in that order. biden, bernie, beto. sounds like the law firm that would represent kermit the frog in his divorce from miss piggy. [ laughter ] joe biden and bernie sanders have huge support from one of the left's key demographics, old men who fall asleep in movie theaters. [ laughter ] joe biden said yesterday he considers himself the most qualified person in the country to be president. it's cute that he thinks that matters to us.

joe biden wants to do. vermont senator bernie sanders, kamala harris and cory booker, both senators in california and new jerseye don't have a specific time line but you have to wonder with elizabeth warren jumping in officially on the last day of 2018 it, might push those other candidates to make up their minds and soon. leland. >> leland: mr. spunt welcome to the network and welcome your little one to the family as well. niles to see you sir, happy new year. >> you as well, thank you. >> leland: with that we bring in our panel who ted cruz's transition that didn't happen. house majority leader kevin mccarthy president trump's campaign jack friend, democratic strategist and former spokesperson for america. play more from elizabeth warren's warren's roll out film and get your thoughts on it? >> these aren't cracks that families are falling into. thee are traps. america's middle class is under attack. how do we get here? billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie. and they enlisted politicians to cut them a fatter slice. >> leland: boy, that does not have the hope and change, uplifting

poll, showing beto o'rourke topping the list with a narrow lead over joe biden, rounding out the top five, bernie sanders and ckamal harris think harris is lower in the group. >> i think move on or the activists, people that knock on doors, people that give small donations, what surprised me is one, not that beto was at the top, that was a group enthusiastic for him and remains so, but also the same group that did endorse bernie sanders in 2016. surprise, joe biden as high as he was among progressives when a lot of people don't view him as progressive. >> brian, do you think people begin who are most politically committed saying we have to win this, we have to get a winner. >> i think the real story how badly elizabeth warren is doing. these are her activists. >> is this a function of the dna test? >> i think it is. they're looking at her, thinking she's damaged goods. guy like beto might be a better option. if we see more polls like this, it will be trouble for warren as she tries to get it off the ground. >> are you for trump if he runs again? >> i am for the republican nominee. president trump. >> who are you most afra

kamala harris says she will make the decision over the holidays. is joeesident right now in your party? >> you know, the one that we want is the one who can win. and, frankly, it is a little bit early because all of these candidates, whatever their resumes and even vice president biden, who is widely popular, how will they connect across america? we just don't know. you know, when barack obama became president, when he was a candidate, people dismissed him. bill clinton the same thing. it is very possible and perhaps likely that somebody being mentioned now or not mentioned will emerge and make that connection. >> president trump, right, same thing happened there. >> that's right. >> all right. thank you very much. nice to have you. >> thank you. >> fascinating. fascinating. it will be an interesting congress. >>> russia is ratcheting up the tough talk this morning after president trump ditched a meeting with vladimir putin. have relations with moscow reached another low, or is it temporary? ♪ ♪ the greatest wish of all... is one that brings us together.

harris in d.c. these are early days yet, two years out from the general election. but what do you make of that, of joe and at least acknowledging the fact that there needs to be some nod to or involvement of a younger faction from the democratic party? >> i think his time has passed, to be quite honest. i understand that he's highest on the polling right now, but i don't see how he's going to play into what we've seen or what we've seen from the electorate with the past midterms. you know, you've seen a lot of excitement with younger candidates. i'm surprised that andrew gillum wasn't on that list. i'm surprised that stacey abrams wasn't on that list. you know, they are two people who i think were able to run on really progressive platforms and yet still get a huge number of people to vote for them. they can articulate the issues well. and they're really good at snapping back at some of the things that republican can throw out, which i think is a problem for democrats. i think most people want the democratic party to have -- hell hello! -- a spine. and i just think that biden is troubleso troublesome.
