trusted west wing aide, and quinn continue folks, former campaign manager for a successful bid of raphael warnock. that will be marking the transition between what his officials have been doing behind the scenes to lay the political ground work for his re-election bit to right now, start of a months long ramping up of a full-scale operation. but you're right, if the president does get into the pool, he is facing major political headwinds. really americans are not so interested in seeing a rematch between him and former president trump who is right now the gop frontrunner, namely because of age. polls show that majority of americans don't really want president biden to run because of that. he is 80 years old right now and if he were to win a second term, he'd be 86 by the end of it. but when you talk to white house officials, they feel that they can overcome and really bring the american people to their side when they think about the comparisons between former president trump and president biden and really biden trying to do what he said that he wanted to do last campaign, which was save the soul

frequent incidents meant to unravel our democratic fab krk joining us now is democratic senator raphael warnockone of the senators who sent that letter it's a pleasure to have you on the program. i'll get right to it because i know there's a slight delay. do you expect the attorney general to follow through on your letter? >> well, it's great to be here with you, alex listen, the federal government has a role to play in protecting the integrity of our democracy nothing could be more important than that. i am heartened that representative pearson and representative jones have been rightfully returned to their seat the city counsels in nashville and memphis did the right thing. but this unabashed assault on the very foundations of democracy continues unabated i think this is a very dangerous precedent, and returning them as their local leadership did this week doesn't solve the problem we -- i reached out to the justice department because i think that it is its duty to investigate weather the constitutional rights first of all of the citizens that they represent are violated citizens have a right

nbc news now projects that democrat raphael warnock has run the senate runoff election. >> both democrats have won those two seats. >> democrats will regain control of the u.s. senate. >> definitely not a republican wave, that's for darn sure. >> the red wave at most has become a red trickle. >> we put that together, that's not the part of news or politics that's debatable or contestable, these endless arguments, that's all just math. even before the insurrection fundamentally revealed donald trump to be against democracy, which some of his allies and some of his voters had either disbelieved or denied prior to that. even before the recent indictment, which let's be clear, indictments are generally not popular in electoral terms though legally he is presumed innocent and will get his trial if he goes to trial, even before that those were the documented mathematical failures of a trump-led republican party. it's a losing streak well known to the party's leaders, elders, professional class, pollsters and right now trump and biden are the clear leaders for the nomination of their parties. tr

. >> joining me now is senator raphael warnock, a democra from georgia senator, it was hard just to sit there and realize, let i sink in, what has happened i the last 36 hours. what is your reaction to all o it >> well, it's deeply painful and like americans, and people all of goodwill across tennessee, across the country, i was deeply disturbed by what i witnessed and i think it's important for us to keep all o this in perspective. we must not forget that all of this happened on the heels o the unthinkable. nine-year-olds slaughtered in school, along with those charged with the care of those nine-year-olds, at a school ru by a church. and in the wake of that, american citizens stood up protesting and calling on thei legislators to respond and rather than the legislatur responding to the violence they decided to silence member of our own body who were protesting nonviolently in response to the violence tha std all of this in the firs concerned, even if we have differs of opinion aut th route is.ssue and th on its undemocratic, an american,unacce and i think that, at t o toet their voice

gas stoves he's pointing to bill that is he's teamed up with ben ray lujan of new mexico, and raphael warnock would be critical to business and commerce in those states, and so what's he doing here? what is ted cruz doing here? if you remember, he suffered a big election scare just five years ago, 2018, where he narrowly edged out beto o'rourke by 2.6 percentage points, and so he lost a number of independents in that race, and so he's going to try to appeal to those independents this next time around we don't know who his opponent is yet will it work, you ask? democrats are highly skeptical i talked to brian scholz of hawaii who served with cruz. he rolled his eyes at me, chris, when i asked about cruz's bipartisan efforts on the committee, the democratic senatorial campaign committee, the campaign arm, with a much more scathing response saying that cruz is one of the most vitriolic least productive bombastic, self-absorbed members of the united states congress and senate, so there you have it, chris. lots of skepticism on the democratic side of the aisle >> and nevertheless, one of those rac

last week, i spoke to georgi senator raphael warnock. want to share some o what he said >> what we know about th tennessee legislature is tha it is deeply gerrymandered and so, those who have bee playing games with a lot effectively pushing the people 's voices out of their own democracy throug gerrymandering now, this week, took a ste that was shocking, but if yo think about it, it should be surprising, as they expel thes two legislators. they have convinced themselves that the peoples houses ther has. and so, they have effectivel effected the people out of their own house. >> jeff, do people in nashvill realize how gerrymandered thei state's? and can you use this opportunity to change the wa it operates? >> we certainly do recognize that we've been gerrymandered. we used to be represented by those who share our values but last year, during th national elections, the county was basically divided into thirds and that effectively just puts neighbors against each other i a way. and it wasn't healthy. district-ing needs to be about cohesive
