give a listen to maggie hassan, the democratic incumbent senator in a tough re-election battle in theed her first television ad and takes on her own party's president. >> gas prices, we know the story. and while all of us are paying the price, one senator is fighting to lower your costs. >> senator maggie hassan is on a mission to try to ease the pain at the pump. >> she wants to suspend the federal gas tax for the rest of the year. >> i'm taking on members of my own party to push a gas tax holiday and i'm pushing joe biden to release more of our oil reserves. that's how we lower costs and get through these times. i'm maggie hassan and i approve this message. >> when your first ad out of the bo box is taking on your own party, your own president, you know the climate is one in which your party is not currently favored to do exceedingly well this november. >> really telling. david chalian, thank you very much. >> thanks a lot, alison. >>> back to ukraine, evacuations are under way in mariupol but the city's mayor describes the process as, quote, very difficult, with the russians creati

i think that's what you're seeing from maggie hassan.e. i think there have been a series of things. particularly you saw afghanistan take all of these issues, crystallize them into a question about competence and whether they're prepared to take these on. i think that thread has been pulled through on all of the other issues exploding just at the wrong time for congressional democrats. >> democratic operatives say when there's an opportunity for these democratic candidates to separate themselves from the president, that's actually a good thing at this point in the election. and you have seen it time and time again, even before title 42 came up. you saw senator mark kelly having very strong opinions about border security, wanting more border security, separating himself from the democratic party. so i think if the president's poll numbers continue the same way, i think you're going to see that more and more. >> remember, they're low nationally, and that's even inflated because of new york and california. in places like ohio and pennsylvan

so the thing that is beneficial about a digital ad is if you are maggie hassan, you can target that adre pro-choice donors across the country to raise a lot of money. the question is, when do you put your money where your mouth is and put that kind of an ad on the airwaves where a lot more of the swing voters will see it? last week, the hassan campaign went up on air with an ad trying to put distance between senator hassan and president biden on things like gas taxes and these economic kitchen table issues. so whether democrats decide they want to elevate this and put this on the airwaves, they very well may, but that is still an open question. >> do you think that we're not in an era where digital ads can be more effective than tv ads? >> it's not about effectiveness. it's about who you can target and who is seeing them. i think your average swing voter who is probably not super tuned in to political news consuming it with the veraciousness that folks like you and i are, i think that when it comes to digital ads, they can have a ton of power, absolutely, but i think it also tells us a

you had maggie hassan of new hampshire there two weeks ago belted wrangler saying we need better physical like a wall? $72 million has been spent taking down the wall canceling those contracts and paying for some of those supplies. spite is no way to run a country. and it's not just the poll numbers. you see the number of people coming over. fentanyl is the number one killer of 18 to 44-year-olds now in our country. president trump had turned those numbers around. we had the first dip in overdose deaths in 30 years on his watch. now we are up to over 106,000 a year and it's an indiscriminate epidemic. >> will: kelly, you know what's fast fascinating? they have attempted to stem the flow. they have tried to talk positively on gasoline and anything they can think of. they haven't changed their policies when it documents immigration. that one is very important. even bill maher knows. kellyanne great to see. >> even bill maher and he has been critical of them on everything. thank you. >> will: you bet. see you next time, kelly. a 6'9" murders suspect is on the loose after a cop allegedly help

to go forward, and you've got mark kelly in arizona, catherine cortez masto in nevada, maag -- maggie hassanoblems with it is for them. jon: normally voters vote the economy. that's normally the biggest issue when they go into the voting booth, you know, who's doing a good job of handling the economy or who might do a better job. and when you look at those numbers, it feels like, you know, the democrats -- even though it's not a presidential election year -- they're going to have a tough row to hoe here. >> they are. and part of the the problem is that, you know, there's nobody else for voters to blame. democrats control the house, the senate, the white house. so, you know, republicans can really make hay over the fact that democrats are in control of everything. and the other problem for the biden administration is they want to tout there are some good numbers on the economy. the upping employment rate, etc. but when they do that, it's a disconnect with voters and voters think they're not positioned on, you know, they're not living 3.6% unemployment, they're living $5 gas and, you know, 20%

. >> maggie hassan is outf time si won't play it.ating. she's also been critical of their handling of title 42. she says they don't have enough of a plan if it were to be lifted at the end of may. betsy, what do you make of where these vulnerable democrats are right now like mage hassan and the strategy they're taking and the line they're trying to walk? >> it just highlights the extent to which president biden's poll numbers a rliabili for the democrats in tough races. hassan is not the most vulnerable democrat running this cycle. i haven't seen anything super credible arguing she's really on thin ice. but the fact that show is distancing herself from the biden administration, trying to needle them a little bit, it kind of tells you what you need to know about the president's political clout. >> do they have to get something done in order not to have a complete washout? >> one of the things he's trying to signal is his warmth around the student debt issue. "the washington post" just came out with a poll and found that young people,

i want to playe part of an add that maggie hassan is running online about thisha issue. abortion. they all supported new hampshire's abortion ban and now with roe v. wade on the verge of being . overturned, these three menov and their one agenda mean woman's fundamental rights, our freedoms hang in the balance. >> no punches pulled there. do you think that is something we'll, a, see more of or, b, be effective? >> it's going to be something we see more of. i appreciate she also named he o'connell in there with him talking about a federal ban on abortion. this isfe not going to stop, especially when the republicans have dedicated decades to take away d these rights from anyone with a uterus. i want democrats continue to illustratenu what day-to-day li will look like. people don't have money to go thousands of miles for an abortion and they don't have child care. >> t are we going to see them wd rather see them talk about inflation, the issues use of what brought them to the cusp -- do you want to have that fight or do you want to stick with what got you as close as you ap

tough races, not just one who sit on the border like mark kelley from arizona, but even senator maggie hassanto the border recently and cut an ad saying how important it is to keep the border secure. this is actually for vulnerable democratic senators a good vote, but for the party itself, and you already have a very restive liberal group there, not just of senators but of activists, this will be really just one more example to them from the democratic party that they haven't lived up to the ideals. >> which is why the leader chuck schumer sounds, my word, anguished. >> we'll see what the house sends over. the bottom line is very simple. our republican friends should not be blocking covid legislation. we don't know what they might throw in the way. we don't even know if they want to pass it. when the house passes it, we will do everything we can to get covid legislation passed. >> yeah. i get it. >> yeah. >> but when the republicans had a slim majority democrats did the same thing. that's how the senate doesn't work now. >> it's how the senate works and how the democratic party has to work wh

new hampshire democrat maggie hassan says plans aren't always enough.n't clear that having the plan and actually having the resources on the ground to meet the goals of that plan are the same thing. but senior administration officials remain confident they are ready telling lawmakers that every border sector has different needs, whether its additional federal law enforcement personnel, contracts, civilian processors to free up border patrol agents. so they are coordinating with agents on the ground about what resources they need in washington. i'm anna wiernicki. time now 6.48 and hayward residents are now responsible for illegal fireworks that are set off on there. >> property even if union said it offensive that your property, then as your problem, that's what the city is doing in this updated public nuisance ordinance that just went into effect yesterday. the fines, our $1200 for the first offense 3,000 for the second and up to $5,000 for the 3rd time you can report illegal fireworks activity online through the city's access hayward website. >> it is

and then i'm glad we have senator maggie hassan here. you have made progress on key issues in the past year, it has been a bit less chaotic, but no less challenging. you have had your hands full, you have reduced tariffs on our exports to the eu, which is a good, good thing. you increase market access for our egg products, for example, to india. so your job is not for the faint hearted. we are glad that you keep coming back to the importance of transparency, consultation. because we have a lot of members who are not focused on that, and we look forward to working with you in the days ahead. senator hassan, your comments, and probably several to close the hearing. >> thank you very much, mister chair. i appreciate you and ranking member crapo's decision to hold this here, i want to thank you, ambassador tai, and for all of your work on behalf of the american people, american businesses. the ignited states has led our allies around the world in imposing crippling economic sanctions on vladimir putin and his cronies, for russia's unprovoked

that's new hampshire democratic senator maggie hassan hammering her republican opponents, who she sayso help him criminalize abortion nationwide. we're back with fatima and claire. again, claire, i just want your thoughts on how democrats best use these broad majorities of american men and women, 64% of all americans want to keep roe as it is. 67% oppose any federal law to criminalize abortion, the message in that ad. what do you think? >> i think it's going to be powerful. i think mitch mcconnell may not admit it, but the talking points they sent out from republican senatorial campaign committee and from the governor's organization is really telling because what they're telling the republicans to do is to try to change the subject. they're telling republicans to talk about late-term abortion, as if that's the problem that this decision is going to solve. you know, and that's what they're telling them. they know they are in the bad side of this argument, especially because the extreme views -- i mean, remember, nicole, ten years ago, i won a statewide election in missouri that is not a
