john conyers went down in flames.nd a lot of people again on both sides of the aisle have essentially been destroyed by past actions and accusations and so on. so what is different in the keith ellison case? a well, could it be that the dnc and the democrats have chosen to protect keith ellison, trying to promote him, because he checks two boxes? he is african-american and he is a muslim. so he's got two minority aspects weighing in his favor, at least in this era of hyper identity politics. >> laura: and, monica, he also -- i think he has his gubernatorial and perhaps presidential aspirations down the road. that's not a bad supposition on all of this. leo, the media, cnn and particular, covered the rob porter -- like, no one know who rob porter was, but he was a staff secretary to trump, so here was a guy who manages a paper flow into the president.ut an important position. his girlfriend accused him of all the stuff, dating hope hicks, but the media covered it 40 times as much in the first two days of that scandal t

represent a district 57% african-american and occupies a seat previously held by the civil rights icon john conyers who resigned last year amidst sexual harassment allegations. it was a really contested primary. you had this inspector. the way that he won't hanging over it. how did you win? >> i think i focused on the human contact. when you look at people in the face, in the eyes, on their porch. i think it changed people's minds and hearts. they were able to engage me and see that i really do want to elevate them and help them thrive and i believe it is because of that aggressive center door to door. >> the district is 57% african-american. and amidst this african-american about diversity and representation, you find yourself in a position where you have your own interesting representational role. how do you think about it? >> i think about it because i grew up in a community predominantly african-american. it is so much in line with the needs and the priorities for my families in the 13th congressional district. i don't think it is so far that i'm not african-american. i can tell you that i'll s

when i was in detroit, john conyers was there and some others who helped to raise money we had a mass meeting. the interesting note, which you should be aware of, diane nash was in jail in mississippi. and she refused to get out of jail and she was nine months pregnant. and all of us was begging her to get out. we couldn't find a way to get her out of jail. you remember, it came out in the newspaper in "jet" magazine. she said any child born -- black child or colored child, in those days we called them negro child, born in mississippi is born in jail. you remember that? so she was going to have the baby in jail. and we had to figure out a way to get her out of that jail.

you already have alexandria cortez, last night, talib won the primary in john conyer's district, would be the first muslim woman in congress and democratic socialist. and incredible candidate named shareece davids, and out native woman a former fighter. if these are women making up the democratic caucus, it will change what the caucus is like. >> reporter: right. comparatively speaking it's striking. the house democratic caucus is way way more diverse than the republican conference, night and day difference. especially for reporters covering capitol hill, having conversations in the hallways of the capitol building it is very much pronounced. you can see the extent democratic voters are likely to support people of color than republican voters are in terms of the way their representation in congress elects. the other piece of this conversation important we haven't gotten to is the question of money. this is where you can track the enthusiasm voters have for the candidates that are running. one number really important is the number 56, the number of democratic challengers so far have out

you had rashida tlibe, who is will replace john conyers, and she said, i probably won't vote for her. of lawmakers who say that. is she going to be speaker if democrats won't take control? you have been there. you know her. you know how this works on the inside. how strong is her hold on this caucus? >> well, first of all, nancy pelosi is the best vote counter ever. she's not going to run for speaker unless she believes she can get the votes to do it. i just don't see where the transition plan will be. i mean, you look at the various factions of the party and i can see in a vote that's -- you know, a majority winner takes all. then she comes out ahead in that. but you know what? i think she may deserve it. i mean, she's already raised almost $90 million for democrats across the country. she knows that, you know, she can be a lightning rod and she says just when, baby, because she knows when they come in they have to make the decision she's the one who brought them there. >> could she be the difference between a majority and a governing majority, david? look, they used pelosi attend. w

long held by ex congressman john conyers. i think in a lot of ways this is a response to trump. joe, women are stepping up. >> yes. willie, so much, and, again, not a surprise. just like 1996 was a response to bill clinton. 2010, a response to barack obama. no doubt about it. 2018 seems to be such a response to donald trump, with the republicans underperforming everywhere. and women, democratic women particularly, doing well in these early contests. >> yeah. no question. what a preview, perhaps what we'll see in three months. last night across several states, steve rattner, get to your charts in a few minutes and look at the historical perspective on all this, but just what can donald trump expect three months from now, when you put together that history of what a sitting president faces in his first term and all the energy we're seeing among democrats right now? >> without stealing my own thunder from my charts, i'm sure steve kornacki knows all this, combined with the president's approval rating, a mid-term election is incredibly bad news for president trump. saying something

talib would replace john conyers who resigned after allegations of sexual harassment.she didn't even celebrate until every vote was counted like nearly the morning. >> she can celebrate now. >> yes, she can. >>> and "the new york times" reports on a study that shows daughters do more chores than sons. and that could contribute to gender inequality in pay. the maryland population resource center analysis looked at kids ages 15 to 19. girls do about 45 minutes of housework a day. boys do about half an hour. another analysis found boys earn twice what girls did for doing chores. girls are more likely to be paid for cleaning. boys are more likely to be paid for personal hygiene like brushing their teeth or taking a shower. >> that is not fair. >> you have to keep it simple for the boys. you can get paid for brushing your teeth. >> just be a human. >>> the people behind the academy awards say it's time to honor popular films. why a backlash is brewing over a new category for movies that ticket buyers love but oscar voters do not. feed them... with centrum micronutrients. re

to mika's point about women running for office, the man you will likely replace, representative john conyersg a serial sexual harasser of people in his office. he denies it, of course, but that was the context of him leaving office. so i'm not asking you to speak specifically to his case, but in general how much do you think this me too movement has both p deciding to run, but also voting sentiment about with what type of public officials they want holding public office? >> i think, you know, it's really important to know congressman conyers was pretty courageous. one of the things you should know about him is he voted against the iraq war when it was unpopular. he voted against the patriotic act, one of the very few. we never had to check him on his votes. obviously the "me too" movement is something that is very close to me because i'm a victim of sexual harassment. i remember that moment of not really understanding what just happened. it was my first job out of college. there are people in leadership, not only in congress, but if companies all across the country and different areas of the
