there will be much more democratic but, that said, mike garcia is a good candidate for this district.this is a district where edwards air force base is. he is also latino, the son of mexican immigrants. he is a good candidate for this district. which, hillary clinton one, but you know, beat donald trump by seven points, but gavin newsom who won easily statewide only one this district by two points. it is a very purple district. so, while it is not necessarily mean the republicans are going to hold onto it in november, they're going to have to work to get it back, because it does have a history of electing republicans. >>> scott shafer and teresa lagos, thank you so much. >>> this week, more than a dozen transit agencies joined bart to ask congress for $43 billion in additional aid for public transportation. art alone is facing a $600 million deficit. as ridership on trains is down more than 90%. >>> bay area transit agencies are getting more than $1 million from the first round of federal relief, approved in march. the next big challenge, assuring commuters that it is safe to use the

republican mike garcia who president trump just endorsed yesterday is facing off against democrat kristie for the seat. the special election takes place on tuesday but early voting and mail-in voting has been going on for several weeks. the new voting center raised concern for members of the national republican congressional committee. they sent a memo obtained by foxnews.com urging house republicans to raise hell over the new voting site. the memo reads we're issuing an urgent call to arms regarding the specialty election happening this tuesday. it's very clear the democrats are trying to steal this election and we need your help raising hell on social media, tv, radio, et cetera. president trump echoed the call, tweeting on saturday, quote, governor gavin newsom of california won't let restaurants, beaches and stores open but he installs a voting booth system in a highly democrat area supposed to be mail-in ballots only, because of our great candidate, mike garcia, 2020 is winning by a lot. california 25 rigged election. but the new voting site was opened by request of the republican ma

the race is between democrat kristi smith and republican mike garcia. whoever can win will serve out the remaining eight months of hill's term. garcia with a comfortable lead, but mail and ballots still need to be counted, and that could be quite a few during the stadium orders. if the numbers hold, it's a big loss for the democrats. >> there's a lot at stake here. keep in mind that this is a male in valley race, considering the fact that we are in the stay-at-home order. everyone that was eligible to vote was sent a mail-in ballot, perhaps a preview of what we will see in november. when you consider the fact there was so much writing on this race , we thought endorsements from president donald trump, former president barack obama, nancy pelosi, because this is a seat republicans have been eyeing since 2018. this was the first time in 2018 when katie hill won that seat but it was not a republican since 1993. if these results hold, this will be the first time that a republican has flipped a demographic seat in california in 22 years. in addition to that

joining me now is mike garcia, u.s.it lacked for the california's congressional district. we've had a little bit of breaking news this hour so we will talk fast. democrats say they will minimize your victory because that was the seat that had previously been held for 25 years up until 2018. by republicans. so they are going to beat you in november. >> we are not taking anything for granted but we i have the best team here. when a large margin of victory here and we are on the right side of history and we are what people are looking for, political outsiders. someone who is running for the right reasons and that's what we need right here for the leadership. we are not upset that people are paying attention before and i really don't mind if mainstream media is picking up right now. >> there are democrats in power in california that are locking things down pretty hard. so how do you make a difference in that environment when it comes to jobs. and princess cruises and what we need to do is make sure that folks are getting he

candidate mike garcia was planning on doing it. watch. >> how you combat that is you do it yourself. it is legal, and we have many volunteers, and i would like more volunteers on march 3rd. >> that was in january before coronavirus, but the screen grab that we have not independently verified shows his campaign manager trying to recruit ballot harvesters in mid-april. in november, both sides are expected to have robust ballot harvesting operations. another key question is whether garcia, the former fighter pilot got a bump from president trump who accused democrats of trying to steal the election by adding an in-person polling place in lancaster. that's a city with a large african-american and latino population, although it was a republican mayor who approved the polling place. >> shannon: politics. trace gallagher, thank you so much. so plenty to unpack from the top stories, let's get right to it with republican congressman from california, ranking member of the house intelligence committee devin nunes. great to have you back, sir.
