but they still hate him. >> raphael warnock, too. if he's not there in two years they don't get the majority. >> there's a fundamental question over whether the $3.5 trillion is existential which way? as you're pointing nout georgia, it may work out well for you. in west virginia and other places, not so much. >> which is why the erosion of trust is problematic. >> it's pretty grim. thanks, one and all. appreciate it. have a wonderful weekend. >>> coming up -- one massive state is planning to require all eligible students, all, to get the covid vaccine to come to the classroom. plus one governor now trying to use badly needed covid relief funds for, well, another purpose. we'll explain, next. ndicate recording has started.] [car honking and street noise] [inaudible shouting and clashing] ♪ ♪ [horse neighs] [phone clacks as it closes] ♪ ♪ we're carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we w

. >> raphael warnock are incu incumbents. we have a 50-50 senate.ir incumbents. val demings, running against marco rubio. that is a hugely done part, black voters are increasing part of the party base, increasingly powerful within the party. their party is in the right and him being after amrican-americat makes him not feeding into it. >> unclear if he wants to run again but gop senator bill cassidy was on axios. he pushed back on this idea. take a listen to what he says and i want to ask you about it. >> if he runs, he wins the nomination. >> we don't know that. >> president trump is the first president to lose the house and senate. >> that's super interesting. >> if he ran he could lose the nomination? >> it's clear you ain't voting for him. >> i'm not. >> donald trump's in a very strong position in the republican party. >> that makes him an outlier. >> donald trump has got a strong grip on the base. he's in a very strong position. >> some of the president's more outlandish lies, they push back. thank you, my friend. appreciate it. >>> former brit

raphael warnock has raised 9.5 million in the last quarter.lker has raised an impressive $3.8 million as well. tim scott in south carolina hauled in 8.4 million. and val demings raised 3.8 million against marco rubio. sit fueling a lot of this enthusiasm. this is where the energy in the democratic party is coming from. that's how i explain the fund-raising there. i spoke to a professor out on the campaign trail yesterday at the stacey abrams event with terry mcauliffe. she talked about how she was excited to be part of a party that feels it is championing diversity and inclusive. by that logic, it doesn't surprise me that they are crushing fund-raising expectations. this is where the enthusiasm is in the democratic party right now. and black women in many ways have delivered so resoundingly for the party that it makes sense that donors are seeing black women are worth this type of investment. they can be the backbone but they have to be supported when running for elected office. . >> these numbers are incredible. we will see what continues to

when president biden rallied in georgia to encourage voters to vote for jon ossoff and reverend raphael warnockt has gripped washington and this nation. we'll be able to make the progress we need to make on jobs, on health care, on justice, on the environment, on so many important things. so if biden didn't deliver and he's got time to show that he can, but if he doesn't, how would that impact the turnout of black men in the november election and the midterms? >> i think this is the greatest form of inaction on these promises, rev, would be the greatest form of voter suppression we're not talking about at all in this country, because black men are not going to be excited to go back to the to veto for candidates of the party that controls all three houses in our legislative and executive branch. and them not delivering anything they said they would. and you can't say to black men in 2022 that all we hear about is joe manchin with a "d" besides his name and kyrsten sinema who has a "d" besides her name. black men are going to look as if they got three heads when they talk about what we need to su

if they don't get a deal done here, people like raphael warnock who is up next year.t up in four years like manchin. he's up next year. he needs these deals to be done and joe manchin and sinema may be in the way. >> what about terry mcauliffe in virginia. he is very frustrated with this. >> you can imagine what he is saying in private because in public, he's going out and saying, quit your chitty chat there on capitol hill. i need you to do something to save me, and he is in a very, very tight race made tighter by the fact that we've seen in previous races in recent american history that pollsters aren't great at tapping into the trump vote. so it could be that youngkin is actually even ahead. so, yeah, there needs to be some action. but i just cannot understand the democrats thinking or some radical, you know, progressives, thinking that good strategy is to follow kyrsten sinema into the rest room or to put op-eds in west virginia newspapers to put pressure on manchin. they -- manchin in particular, you know, won his race in a state that went like by 5,000 points fo

ago with 45 -- he and i and 45 others of my bill with michael bennet and later cory booker and raphael warnock on expanding the child tax credit, making it refundable. he's supported this in the past, and we've got to make sure this package comes together. you mention housing. my friend said, we've got to make sure that housing is front and center. brown's chair of the senate banking, then you changed it to banking, housing, and urban affairs. now it's about housing and housing thanks to maxine waters being in the vineyards for so many years raising the issue of housing and what we're doing together again is going to be transformational, not as much as investment as we want, but it's going to matter first time home buyers, first-generation home buyers that they're going to get help. we're going to get help with vouchers and public housing. we're going to get help with the housing tax credit, low-income housing tax credit. we're going to see more housing available increasing the supply, and more affordable for the millions of americans. the whole point here is we've seen profits up, we've seen

maybe they are in conflict but for somebody like raphael warnock in georgia or terry mcauliffe trying to get turnout at the last minute those politicians need big turnout. >> have they seen a process that's working? that is the question. all they've seen for months is democrats fighting each other. >> whose problem is that? >> take a look. so senator mit romney republican of utah on board with the bipartisan infrastructure bill, he dressed up as ted lasso for halloween. this is him. this is him going to serve biscuits to the boss which happens in the show except here he has the boss played by democratic senator kyrsten sinema in a fine bit of trolling he seems to be enjoying the fact that kyrsten sinema with whom he is allied on infrastructure is the boss. it is very mischievous of senator romney. >> it is. he is as you said accurately trolling democrats because there are so many democrats that do feel as though manchin and sinema are pulling the strings and controlling a lot of what is happening and progressives have argued that they are a huge chunk of the caucus which they are. >>

senator manchin had been working with senator raphael warnock of georgia for several months on this. that's why you see some of the changes. this is not the for the people act. one of those changes is some sort of voter i.d. requirement in this bill. and so now that they have the support of all 50 democrats, now democrats can more accurately and correctly, i guess, have the rhetoric that the party is on the same page regarding this issue. now, there will be some clarity. and then the democrats can decide how to move forward after this. but this is an attempt to show that the democratic party is united and it's a republican versus democratic issue, and now democrats think they have the moral clarity to move forward, at least talking to their voters about it, even though nothing will have been enacted at the end of this vote today. >> marc morial, on that point, apart from the messaging, what more needs to be done on this issue? the white house says they're not abandoning hope for a legislative breakthrough but today, when this test vote is happening, the white house is focused on infr

had privately expressed concerns with walker's potential candidacy against incumbent senator raphael warnockun for the seats. he becomes the six republican senator to endorse walker including south dakota senator john thune, the number two senate republican on monday. with today's apparent change of heart, mcconnell is now in full alignment with former-president trump. >> you know, herschel is not only a georgia hero, he is an american legend. >> reporter: walker, a former-football star, was recruited by trump to run. >> i have known donald trump for 37 years and i don't mean just casual ran into him from time to time. i am talking about a deep personal friendship. >> reporter: the political newcomer has faced scrutiny over his past allegations of abuse, he was accused of threatening his ex-wife and friend of hers in the early 2000s. >> you can get angry but the anger that you can go out and really, really hurt someone and th that is when you know you got a problem. >> reporter: walker spoke to cnn in 2008 about his struggle with dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple p

it's west virginia, and i think there needs to be more attention paid to raphael warnock who's up fortion in georgia where that would be a big point. do you want to say something else really quickly? >> tiffany, remember, you got to have these white voters in west virginia, they have been putting pressure on manchin. they were in their kayaks going to his yacht. they're showing up. that's how you have to do it. you've got mobilize owing. if all of these reporters keep focusing on capitol hill, you've got to mobilize people in the state. wherever he goes, he needs to see his voters. sinema, same thing. that's also going to have to happen, and a lot of people don't want to put that work in. they just want to tweet about it or post on instagram or facebook, no, you've got to be in their face. >> exactly. we have video of the folks showing up to joe manchin's yacht. i was hoping we'd be able to show that, i think we may have missed our window. i want to switch gears now, this is kind of all along the same theme of a power shift. you guys have been hearing a lot about critical race theory.

. >> that was georgia senator raphael warnock, one of the architects of the democrats' latest votinges in the senate of exactly what is at stake in the fight for federal voting rights legislation. republicans are set to filibuster warnock's sweeping voting rights bill, which commands the support of every single senate democrat but not even one republican. "washington post" puts it like this. no republican has emerged as even being curious about supporting new federal voting legislation of the breadth that democrats are contemplating. joining us now, senator angus king of maine. he's a member of the intelligence and armed services committees. senator, we've covered this before. you believe the filibuster should be put aside for federal voting rights legislation. is that still your view, and do you think that's where this is heading? >> well, when you say put aside, there are lots of options. it's not all or nothing, nicole. there are opportunities to modify the rule to require the opposition to be there to require actual speaking on the floor, so i think there are some options, but i

. >> senator raphael warnock emphasizing the need for congress to act to protect the right to vote. john lewis voting advancement act but with little republican support, it faces an uphill battle to actually becoming law. attorney general merrick garland, though, vowing to leverage the power of the department of justice to protect the right to vote, saying in part, quote, we are seriously and urgently investigating and examining other changes and procedures in practices and particularly looking at all the redistricting. garland adding that he was also concerned about increased threats to secretaries of state, poll workers and other election officials. garland, however, admitted that the power of the doj to protect voting rights has been eroded, saying, in part, quote, are our tools weakened? yes, they are, but our passion hasn't weakened. let's bring in former acting solicitor general neal katyal. this is a justice department under a loft pressure to get a lot of things done. people are looking at it as one of the most important institutions right now. neal, i don't know if you can

you know, keep voters' access to the ballot safe and i had the chance to check in with senator raphael warnockly three black senators who came into office in this special election, that took a record turnout even as the big lie was beginning to take shape so this is hitting close to home for them and when the gop refused to debate this issue back in june, warnock was worried the conversation was veering away from things like voting rights to infrastructure. he went to chuck schumer, let him know he was not going to get on board with build back better unless he got a promise that voting rights were going to be a priority. senator joe manchin is a co-sponsor of this freedom to vote act. it's a compromise bill. they acknowledge that, but things in it like making election day a federal holiday, right, having enough drop boxes so you don't have one drop box for a whole county or a whole community, 15 days of early voting that might include -- that would also include weekends, and senator warnock is basically saying he's determined to go down fighting if it comes to that and to make republicans kind
