nbc news senior national politics reporter jonathan allen joins us now. so johnwho would like to step into the opening, who is clearing himself and that is former vice president mike pence. even know he's on a tour of mega-churches promoting his any book, et cetera. talk about this. what you're hearing in your reporting behind the scenes as it relates to this group of faith-based voters in the gop. >> we should also mention florida governor ron desantis. when i talk to pastors and those in the evangelical community this week, to write this story for msnbc.com, they talked a lot about desantis and pence. evangelicals represent about half of the primary electorate for republicans and in 2020 they were firmly behind donald trump. but if you go back to 2016, not all of them were behind him early on. in fact ted cruz from texas won iowa where they are a huge part of the electorate. donald trump has said things that have raised eyebrows including blaming republicans who won all out ban on abortion nationwide for some of the midterm disappointments. and he has taken aim

john allen, senior national political reporter. s through it, john, what you learned, what you heard from sources in this reporting, about all of it, including the likelihood that donald trump gets his facebook account back. >> with the reporting of mark caputo, there were officials at facebook and meta saying there is a likelihood that donald trump would be let back on. when he was banned from twitter and facebook the day after the january 6th riot, those were supposed to be permanent bans but facebook quickly turned around its oversight board saying it would be a two-year ban and revisit it. so there is a lot of indication from that side that they don't intend this to be permanent. at the same time, the trump campaign, according to our sources, believes that it will in fact get reinstated on facebook, and at one point, they were thinking about sending a letter, filing a lawsuit to try to get back on and eventually ended up with the letter asking simply that the former president be reinstated. >> what is interesting here, this is n

. >> it's john allen with us?i think we just lost him. >> the point you've been making in that michael's been hinting at is that we've had showdowns about the debt before there's always been warning about a few to fall on to -- the state of the united states suffers and prices plummet, and interest rates go up. we now have an economy on edge this is a really dangerous time for this game to be played. >> ali, it's extraordinary. because just this morning when we got the jobs report, you saw economists across the board, saying wow. the fed might actually be threatening this very difficult needle. because while there are still strong dropped out there, we're starting to see wage increases slow, which should help inflation. but if suddenly we get cute with the debt ceiling, we're in a very -- >> every of the time we've gotten to about the debt ceiling, interest rates have been close to zero. -- interest rates go up 2%, that's meaningful to people right now. >> yes, they never have the time we've gotten close to, what

let's bring in reporter john allen.the voice mail that dolan was left on the phone of a ohio gop official, expecting another crowded primary in 2024. what does that mean? what does that look like? and why does that matter? >> a great question, hallie. our colleague henry gomez doing that first reporting there on this phone call. what it means is that there was this crowded primary that jd vance won in 2022, and on the republican side, dolan is the candidate who stood out for being anti-trump, his family that owns the cleveland guardian, very well known in the business community, in ohio. but he's expecting there to be a dog fight. so obviously, he is leaving the message early because he knows he will have to stack up his support and this is a tough place for both parties. sherrod brown has proved to be an exceptional campaigner over time but ohio is trending republican and has been for some time. so something is going to give her. >> let's pull back and look at the big picture. as we said, this is one of the most import

john allen helped break this exclusive story along with our colleague, mark.ere's an argument to be made and there was the argument that was being made before mr. trump announced his campaign so soon after the midterms that this could be in fact problematic here. talk about the timing, what team trump plans to do about this. >> if you look inside these number, there are about 300,000 donors he got money from. 99.48% of those are under that 200 limit which means that about 3,000 of his donors are people giving 200 or more. so he's still got that fund raising base. donald trump was anxious to announce, super anxious to announce. he wanted to do it as early as july. he ended up getting convinced not to do it before the midterms then as a result when he got out and announced the campaign right afterwards, he's doing so in kind of fund raising doldrums. in all campaigns, they know after an election, it's hard tore raise money. in addition to that, he's been banned from facebook since january 6th. technically january 7th, but basically since inciting the riot at the

we have more from vaughn hillyard and john allen is here with us as well.mcdaniel, 111 out of the 167 casting ballots. talk to us about how that plays into the future of the party in the next cycle. >> right. that's going to be the fourth term and one of ronna mcdaniel's greatest pitches is they were able to raise and spend nearly $400 million in the last two years alone, of course, a great deal of the criticism was the fact that all it got them was a narrow majority in the u.s. house of representatives here. but what she was able to do is effectively push back against what was the insurgency around harmeet dhillon, and we're talking about the candidates who were involved in this race, each of them allies of donald trump. but when you're talking about harmeet dhillon, the challenger, who was able to cobble together about one-third of the vote, this is where some of the grass roots here, in this republican party, that is even to the right, you could say, of where maga is at, where they go from here, you know, there is a radio personality who is standing next

i think the chairman of on john allen, saying programme. only ng programme. i think the chairman of on this agenda only labour that on this agenda only labour is pitch. so look, is on the pitch. so look, there's big for us. you're there's a big job for us. you're right, lot of people win right, a lot of people to win over following very over following that very significant for significant electoral defeat for us last general election. us in the last general election. but we think we're doing it. we think polls show that think the polls show that there's complacency. there's no complacency. we're going very going to continue working very hard this hard because we think this country doing a lot country could be doing a lot better it is under the better than it is under the conservative party. and the chance to serve the chance do chance to serve the chance to do that that we're about. so that is all that we're about. so you want to be friend of you want to be the friend of business? you the friend of business? are you the friend of women? your

allen? thank you. what john jones, they political strategist, he says things are looking up for kevin mccarthy. the last 4 days have been very long for representative mccarthy. but the last 24 hours have probably been the most promising for him. having been able to flip about 15 rebels and bringing him 2 or 3 boats shy of this number of both that he needs to become speaker. so he and his allies are much more confident today than in 3 days past. but it's going to be very interesting to see as a mr. mccarthy makes more and more concessions to the right way. will this upset centrist and disappoint moderate, within the republican caucus. busy and will it be challenging to actually bring all of these votes together? so that's going to be the big challenge for representing mccarthy going forward. it's going to be really serious for those who are looking to see how strong centrist and moderates will be in the united states congress. and both the republican and democratic parties. what you're going to need in order to f
