to win in a state like this, you need to follow the playbook of republicans in blue states like larry hogany elder is maybe the maybe that type of republican so he's played well to the small hardy band of republican base but it's going to be completely insufficient in a blue state like this. >> there was a lot of unhappiness with newsom the way he handled the pandemic. they felt it was too big brother and too many restrictions, et cetera, et cetera and then came the delta variant and life changed and people were worried about being safe. as we look at results tonight, if we get results tonight. we'll have a question about how the public feels in a way, and again, california is a different state about embracing these mandates. you do have two governors' races coming up in new jersey and virginia. both governors are very strongly promandate. they are looking at what happens in california tonight to see how that goes. >> i think there is a danger of over interpreting a number of things. assuming that gavin does well, you could underestimate the amount of misery and frustration at the base for

massachusetts democratic outnumber republicans by 3 to 1, maryland is overwhelmingly democratic, and yet larry hoganonsistently, not only republican governors and democratic states but they're among the most popular governors in america, so it can be done, but we have to have a conversation about what it really takes in order to win in the state that we live, and not the state in 1970. not the state which ronald reagan run for governor, but the state of california as it is today, which has an enormous suburban population which is where the republican brand has really taken a beating, and a large latino population. unless you have a candidate who is going to win the suburbs, and do very competitively in the latino community, we will not win a head to head race in california until that happens. >> i agree with that. you mentioned voter suppression, suppressing your own vote, i think that's what you're referencing to, i will say elder conceded to his credit, but you had him talking about shenanigans, all this nonsense, the ex president spoke person tweeting out about after it's called 2 to 1, obviously

. >> today maryland governor larry hogan authorized booster shots for anyone over 65 years old in a carety here, his quote for several weeks states had to operate without clear guidance regarding booster shots. the guidance is confusing and contradictory. but all the evidence makes it clear we cannot afford to delay. i mean, what is going on here? the white house confirmed to kaitlan collins tonight that president biden hasn't gotten his booster even though he's 78 years old and got the second dose months ago. he's exactly in the category of people they said should be getting another shot so if you were advising the president, what would you tell him? >> if i were advising the president, i would have already boosted him. the data is pretty clear. over a period of about -- after about six months, the efficacy of these vaccines wanes and probably the group at biggest risk for an adverse outcome are the elderly. prior to vaccinations, that was the largest number of deaths were in the elderly but 80% of all deaths occurred in people in age 65 years old. the president fits into this category.

phil scott in vermont, charlie baker in massachusetts, larry hogan in maryland.m. but here's the thing. they're so out of touch with their own party, they can't pick their state party chairman. you know from your years in politics how extraordinary this is, that a sitting popular governor can't pick the chairman in their own division? i don't see where it ends. the economy is a race to the bottom and covid is the ultimate test that if you're willing to let people get sick and die for political gain, you'll do anything. and that's where they are. >> zerlina, kevin wilson, the conservative writer in his op-ed piece talking about where the dividing line is in our politics saying, when it comes to a coup, you're either in or you're out. the republican party is leaning pretty strongly toward in. that will leave some conservatives out, and in all like likelihood, permanently out. that's another dividing line between these parties, one that is in favor of, in effect, a coup, in effect denying democracy, and the other party still traditionally in this very old-fashioned

charlie baker and larry hogan are the governors of those states. but david, they're not insane. they're not saying more covid. covid in your schools. they're not -- they're not pushing covid. so the divided government argument in my mind won't work for republicans this time around. do you agree? >> by the way, joy, any republican who's been responsible in the pandemic is at great risk of losing a primary. that's where we are. >> that too. >> yeah. >> so i think that there's a third of the people out here in california who voted for the recall. there's a third of the people who say it should be a personal choice. yes, the republicans are making it harder to vote so that third has more power in general elections. but let's make no mistake, that third or 30%, that hard core maga base, they're going to drive republican politics and, therefore, a big part of our country's dynamic for a very, very long time. and they're not going anywhere. but i think at the end of the day, jason makes a good point about voting. but i think the other thing to watch carefully, listen, when you're in a
