some people think mimi walters could lose. there is no way she will lose. there are republicans who never warmed up to trump, but they did like him for a whole host of reasons. they did not like that language he uses. they thought he would govern as a liberal, and not someone who shares their ideological beliefs. you saw all of those numbers in a presidential election with high turnout get elected. i do not think there are as many competitive seats as democrats would like to think. a governor'sl see race in california. who are the front runners? is leadingn newsom all the polls. we have a screwy system where it is the top to people regardless of party who move on. polls, the former mayor of los angeles antonio via agosa has comear into second. others could not break into the top two. i would submit to you that it is not quite gelled. i would not be surprised if other names jump in this race. there is no high profile female candidate. there is some chatter in palm springs that this weekend congresswoman jackie spear -- spier is meeting with advisers. if she

congressman steve stivers and mimi walters, the chair and vice chair of the national republican con congressional committee, great to have you in. >> good to be on. >> shannon: are you that heartless? that is the way the mead yeas going to play this. >> well, no. we funded chip, we reauthorized chip in november. we sent it to the senate, the senate hasn't done anything with it. we passed it in december, stand-alone, senate hasn't done it. we added it to the continuing resolution, states like ohio where i live are starting to run out of money and this is a compassionate thing to do to add to it the funding bill. there's nothing in the funding bill that democrats disafree with. they're -- disagree with. they're putting politics ahead of paying our troops and reauthorizing the chip program. we just need to move on, get a funding bill done, and continue the negotiations. from what i hear, we are chose to a deal on immigration. we need to allow those negotiations to continue. but government, as diane stein feinstein said, people could die if government shuts down, people depend on government. military
