, but senator rick scott endorsed trump in the 2024 presidential primary just yesterday. no brainer. congresswoman, given that trump won florida against president biden by three percentage points, why is senator scott wrong? >> well, look. first of all, rick scott feels extremely threatens since i filed to run against him. he has changed his strategy. first, he said he wasn't going to endorse him, now, he is endorsing donald trump. but this is not a red state, jonathan. this is a voter suppress and gerrymandered state. we have a third of our voters here, our independent voters, who are rejecting the extremism that has been coming not only from donald trump, from rick scott. they are attacking the very fabric of american democracy. rick scott started that term, voting to overturn the election. he is just another puppet of the maga movement, and he fears a primary himself that he has been trying to battle with. that's why he's actually been spending some money already trying to get that maga base. but here in florida, i could tell you his most vulnerable republican. he's the

rick scott was running the republican senate campaigns last cycle. notably did not get involved and let those messy primaries play out. very different strategy for the republicans this time with steve davidson in charge, much more aggressive about narrowing field and getting the most electable candidate and that could make a big difference and take opportunities offer the board. >> we'll see how that plays out. arizona is an interesting state as well. it is very complicated. there are two candidates that democrats and are pushing but what will kyrsten sinema do. and i doesed peters about that, he said let's see what decision they might make. right now we haven't decided to endorse anybody. but steve daines told me he's the chairman of the republican campaign and cinema does not have a path to win but she's presenting a challenge for both sides. >> but this is a classic kyrsten sinema, and she keeps everyone guessing and no one could figure out what her path or her maneuver are going to be. the politics in that state are very complicated. it is a very

we saw rick scott, a prominent senator from florida endorse trump.ome of that is related to his personal relationship with governor desantis in the past. we saw another florida state representative endorse trump. i think trump has really kind of made florida his own home, too, over the years. his increasing attacks on desantis are only making that split more even between those two. >> we're seeing the pictures now when trump trotted out some of the republicans in the state who have endorsed him. that includes senator rick scott and state representative randy fine who recently jumd on the trump bandwagon. desantis said last night that he's not concerned about these defections. should he be? >> i think desantis needs to be concerned about his campaign overall. he has had to let go of a lot of his staff because of his polling and the way his campaign was going. i think a lot of desantis loyal people believed the governor would be in a much stronger position than he is. i think there's been some criticism of how he's been handling himself at debates, and

florida's senator rick scott has endorsed trump, and cold on the rest of his party to do the same.position to look up for this primary before a single vote has even been cast? >> i think, right, considering the fact he's leading that nearest contender to him by 40 points, he kind of already has. the indicators are there. but i think what his efforts right now in florida -- the operation there is to embarrass ron desantis as much as possible. i think the endorsement from scott, for example, is completely unsurprising. fully expected, considering that rick scott allow trump to hand pick this republican senate candidate in 2022. but what it does show, even homegrown state fellow floridians, like rick scott, don't want rhonda santas. and so with trump here, trying to win over mont doesn't voters, trump like that realty vibe. he's trying to embarrass ron desantis, even though he's not going to be on the debate stage next. week >> susan, talking about the debate stage. that next republican debate, nbc news will be hosting the event wednesday in miami. trump's campaign has so far said, he

i just want to say this, that senator rick scott in florida is expected to introduce a bill possiblyulated ccp controlled chinese a-shares. there are nearly 4,000a-share companies in the investment portfolios, so that's -- there are some people in congress who are trying to stop this. you know that the leadership comes from the top. i mean, and joe biden, we don't know what xi jinping has on joe biden. and but this is the whole reason that xi jinping is going to be the guest of honor at a dinner with top u.s. executives in san francisco. the new york times was reporting that tickets to the dinner and reception hosted by the national committee on u.s. china relations and u.s. china business council cost $2,000 each for $40,000 companies can purchase eight seats at a table and one seat at mr. xi's table. all of this pomp and circumstance is really ignoring the issues that you're talking about and the issues of, you know, the bullying coming from china on america or the coverup of covid or the intellectual property theft. what do you believe the u.s. should be doing to stop this aggress

. >> we're learning today that rick scott, the florida senator endorsed trump over desantis.s something that's going to move voters, or is this timed specifically by team trump, sort of as they make this move on florida? >> ahead of the freedom summit -- >> i'm sorry, david, go ahead. >> so ahead of the freedom summit, this is a timing move to announce rick scott's endorsement. does it move voters? not necessarily. the back story is that rick scott and ron desantis really, really dislike each other, so scott's endorsement was never in play for the governor. >> matt, earlier today on msnbc, ron desantis said he was still optimistic that he has a path to winning the republican nomination. i want to play a little bit of that from "morning joe." >> people are not locked in. i mean, that is very true, and in iowa, i don't think they're locking in. new hampshire, they're not locking in, so we're doing it. i'm not hoping for any type of special intervention. we're going to go win it by convining a plurality of the voters that we're the best choice. >> so matt, you know what's going

rick scott has talked a lot about it.there are members over there that can absolutely deliver the message. we need to put the senate in a bad position for them to just simply walk away from this. mitch mcconnell, senator mcconnell needs to come along on this front too. maria: i don't know where they are, frankly. i don't know what they're doing. rick scott did a great job the other day, making it clear that the fbi recognizes that we are in a much more dangerous position under joe biden when christopher wray had to spend 10 seconds there trying to come up with an answer. immigration and custom enforcement reveals border patrol unknowingly released a terrorist suspect from senegal into the united states. first he was caught crossing into arizona last month. homeland security said he was wanted for terrorist activities on october 10th. and then he was finally arrested, where was he arrested, in new york city on october 17th, congressman. this could have been a major terrorist attack in the u.s. because he was allowed to com

rick scott and ron have had no relationship whatsoever.is is a setback for desantis and shows more momentum for trump and the calls for desantis to leave this race, to give another candidate to go one-on-one against trump, once the primary season kicks off. those calls are going to grow louder and louder. >> i wan to bring up polling that we have out, an iowa/gop poll. me of the other polls he's polling 15%. in this poll, ron desantis and nikki haley in a dead-heat. nikki haley one of the only candidates to show some gain in this primary race. they're at 15%. do you think either of them at this point of the race, have any chance of gaining more on the former president? >> it depends on what orr candidates do. in candidates drop out and give one candidate the opportunity to go one-on-one against trump, you could see a path for that candidate to beat trump in some of the states. in iowa, trump supporters under 50. someone else could be competitive. could compete for the 57% of the electorate. and nikki haley has that momentum. there's growin

catch it on the xfinity 10g network. ♪ >>> florida senator, rick scott, once again calling on fed chairability to failing to reduce the balance sheet. he said it's clear your current plan to reduce the balance sheet is insufficient and would never solve the problem of your massive balance sheet. senator scott joins us this morning. we were talking about it in a previous segment, senator, and plenty of blame to go around. is your point that's all in the past, the balance sheet is what it is and we now need to reduce it, but the players that got us to where they are, they not fed -- ben bernanke, janet yellen, and how far back do we need to go? >> not that far back. when obama got elected, it was $8 trillion, and under powell he doubled it, it was 4.5 trillion he doubled to 9. he promised to bring it down and has not. why could it go up so fast, and then coming down not hit the target. nobody has been held accountable for the financial crisis of 2008, or nobody has been held accountable for silicon valley bank. this is a problem. no accountability. the balance sheet. we have to have chang

florida senator rick scott argues it is in everyone's best interest to rein in government spending. but a lot of democrats have several areas where they want to invest more money. in fact, georgia sen raphael warnock says one of those areas is childcare. centering the concerns of ordinary people. >> there's no question that we we have to deal with with the childcare crisis. congress needs to do its job, keep the lights we for the government shutdown. >> if the senate passes a bill to extend government funding the deadline, it will put pressure on the house to pass a 2 in order to avoid a shutdown. still, negotiations are far from finished. >> let's take a live look outside at this says coit tower. sun is pretty much down. now. we have little bit of clouds out there, but nothing too intense. today the clouds moved in relative to yesterday for sure. but will it amount to rain tonight? lawrence is here with the answer. >> yeah, guys, it's going to be close. i think for the most part we're going to stay dry. there's a slight chance of a sprinkle but not much a system really kind just fa

there are really only two republican pickup opportunities so far, in florida and texas, rick scott and cruz, but those would be difficult. that shows you the significant decision by manchin, which would have major ramifications for the next president. and the party in power decision the agenda. who will be in power next congress? right knew republicans are increasingly favored just moments ago. >> he could have been facing, manu, assuming he makes it through the republican primary in west virginia, the republican governor jim justice, right? that would have been a really tough battle for manchin. does this signal that manchin, you know, is he just sort of, you know, done with this part of things for himself? or did he take a look and did the math, and really thinking that he can't win this race? >> reporter: he was looking very closely at running. he had been weighing this seriously for months, knowing it would be an uphill climb. you're right, jim justice is running. he has a primary himself, but he's favored to win in that primary. no doubt that that was a consideration here. what wi

and wild cards, people like tucker carlson, senator rick scott, marjory taylor green, should people view these as actual serious candidates? >> well, you know, there is some seriousness to it. for one, we know that trump has talked to people about adding tucker carlson to the ticket. now, again, contrast that with the tucker carlson has never run for anything before, but he's popular within the base. he is someone that has a good relationship with trump. and this is kind of the x-factor here, when you were talking about someone like donald trump and who they could pick, it's a pretty wide field, as far as possibilities for him. and you know, he does not want to be boxed in when it comes to his potential choices. >> mike bender, "new york times," we appreciate you, as always. thanks, my friend. >> nice to see you, phil. >> really interesting. congressman george santos, he could face a vote for expulsion this week as the house comes back in session. we have his reaction to that vote, ahead. >>> and it's the final day of the four-day truce between israel and hamas. both sides signaling they

rick scott in florida, ted cruz in texas? good luck with that. emotion of last five days, democrats went from feeling dread about horrible poll numbers to jubilation for winning in kentucky. with the joe manchin development, they are back to dread again. >> this cannot be overstated what a dramatic blow to democratic chances of hanging on to the senate. if john tester or brown in ohio were to lose, that is the ball game. nevermind battleground states, like michigan or nevada, huge mroe to chuck schumer math in ep cooing the majority. >> laura: on the national stage, think of reason thorn liz cheney after she got trounced in wyoming and refused to rule out a white house run. now where is she? >> i will spend the next year between now and the election certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect same people. we could find ourselves in a given situation attempting to question the results of the election, we don't want a situation where the election is thrown into the house of representatives and donald trump has any chance prevailing.

people like senator rick scott, the former florida governor, who recently endorsed him last thursday,s well as congressman matt gaetz and byron donalds. back to you. >> thank you. let's now talk to ka dia ba, a political reporter. good morning to you. let's start with the endorsements. now, typically endorsements, we don't know if they really move votes, but this stream of endorsers from desantis to trump, is there any evidence that this is changing minds there in florida, especially? >> well, i think it's interesting that he brought the people the endorsements that flipped on to the stage. so, yeah, i think he -- that was an attempt to show the voters that, you know, i know this guy's your governor, but, look, the delegation at large has been, you know, supporting me. and i think it's most interesting to see chris christie and the attacks are going back and forth to the crowd because this is another indication that the republican party is changing, that so-called appetite for, i'd say, traditional republican is fading, and that trump is the leader of the party. >> yeah, i mean, we sa

rick scott endorsed us the other day. what's going on, carlos. representative randy fine just came across and also webster barnaby. a woman that opened a television show and got 28 million people. that is unheard of. it may be would have been heard of years ago if more people were watching television and more honest. they had a real news, not fake news but she opened up a show the showand set a couple of wors tonight. roseanne barr, 28 million. she's an incredible person. if i said that it's a terrible thing, he said it it's okay. he wanted to take me to the back of the bus. but this guy is so tough and grew up on the streets of miami. one of the greatest fighters in the history of the usc. a champ, a great guy i promised i wouldn't tell him what a great person he is because it would destroy his image but he's a great person. he loves what we've done. he loves and is all man. jorge.

time endorsements the latest from texas governor greg abbott following one from florida senator rick scott desantis and haley are also scoring endorsements, too. what do these endorsements do for the race in 2024? here to react our voter panel, patrick mcmanus chairman of the conservative party in bronx retired police officer and firefighter along with bernadette wright a georgia voter. bernadette, let's start with you. i know desantis gets along with governor abbott knot apparently not as well as president trump. is it a big deal. >> good morning. for me it's not. i feel like these endorsements can get pretty complicated. iclimate we are in you have to figure out what's the motive person doing it. what do they stand to gain or lose if they don't support that particular candidate. i really feel like we have to ask what impact is it having on the voters for me it's not. can a wave of endorsements make you change your mind doubt the person you were going to vote for and make you take a second look. in this environment, i suggest that we all do a gut check and that we stand by our own values

the only real ones are ted cruz in texas and rick scott in florida. two states that are republican states, texas is more strongly a republican state than florida, but florida increasingly gop state. it will be very difficult for democrats to pick off either of those two incumbents. so manchin is gone and let's say all of the incumbents are gone, it's a 50/150 senate. if tester loses or brown loses, that means republicans could be back in the majority again after falling short in the last cycle, have a real serious shot, especially in the aftermath of this manchin announcement, guys. >> huge ramifications, potentially, for capitol hill, and even potentially a presidential race. >> thank you so much. >>> manu, thank you so much. coming up, conservative critics slamming the vatican after a surprising move to allow some trance trans people and babies of same-sex couples to be baptized. .. .. .. >>> now to an unexpected ruling from the vatican, opening the door some some cases for catholic baptism for transgender people and babies of same-sex families. cnn

senator rick scott just endorsed him and that's interesting because he's not big on endorsing. ey're friends from a long time ago, but i remember interviewing senator scott in march this year, and he wasn't willing to say he was going to support trump, but he was very outspoken about criticizing ron desantis and his policies. they disagree on so many issues, abortion, in-state tuition for dreamers, and many other policies. it's not the first endorsement that trump gets from republicans in florida. and it's interesting to see just a year ago, ron desantis was winning with such a large margin, and he's losing the grip in his own party and in his own state. >> that was his selling point, look at my big win. the backdrop to wednesday's debate is really the polling, and it's pretty stunning to look at. this is from a "new york times" college poll, which shows that trump leads biden in five out of six critical swing states, and this is, of course, where mr. trump will be counterprogramming the debate. sara, he'll be holding a rally here, and guess what? on monday he'll be in court. hi

held seat which ones are those rick scott in florida? ted cruz in texas? good luck with that. think about the emotion of the past five days. democrats went from feeling dread about biden's horrid poll numbers to jubilation about winning races in virginia and kentucky. and now, with the manchin development, they are back to dread again. >> this cannot be overstated. what a dramatic blow to democratic chances of hanging onto the senate. if jon tester is mentioned in montana or sherrod brown in ohio were to lose, that's the ballgame. never mind battleground states like michigan or nevada or other tough states for democrats. this is a huge blow to chuck schumer's math in keeping the majority. >> as for manchin's political viability on the national stage, well, think of republican's thorn liz cheney after she got trounced in wyoming. she also refused to rule out a white house run but now where is she? >> i'm going to spend the next year between now and the election certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people. we could well find ourselves. a situation, gi

with an answer about whether or not america is safer under president biden when he was asked by rick scottis the united states safer from foreign terror threats today, are we safer than when joe biden took office, from the day he took office? >> what i would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated but i also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them. maria: oh, yeah, he had to think long and hard on that one, ryan. >> yeah. i mean, well, he really couldn't come up with an answer at all. give me a break. in new york, live in san francisco, we know the problems are huge in these major cities especially with the amount of of tpeople that are here now. i live in greenwich village, people are living on the streets, sleeping on the streets and the biden administration wants to look the other way. they don't want to help address the issues. it's a huge, huge problem an it's sad that it's not being addressed any time soon. maria: they're busy. they're busy raiding the homes of poli political enemies and oppos

rick scott is on the ballot there. it's one of the target senate races.ow that in kentucky, even in the kentucky race for governor, the issue of abortion was front and center and discussed there as well. so we won in kansas on this particular issue. we know the republicans are extreme. we can try to sugarcoat it. nikki haley and some of the others can try to dance around the extremism but they've supported time and time again. but ultimately, we know if they get into power, they want extreme national bans on abortion in every state. not just the red states. not just the purple states. but also in the blue states. so people have to stand up. if you don't want your freedoms ripped away from you, then don't vote for a republican. because they will. they will focus on doing just that. >> now let's talk about kentucky, where democrat andy beshear cruised to reelection, proving on his 2019 numbers in a republican dominated state. as a fellow southern democrat, what is governor beshear doing right, and what can others learn from him in the race in kentucky this

florida senator rick scott questioning christopher wray on tuesday on whether the country is safer today president biden took office. >> do you believe is the united states safer from foreign terran entertainer fred are we safer from when joe biden took office? >> what i would say is the terror threats have elevated but i think there are a lot of things the country has been throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them. maria: wanted the caravan organizers is claiming that countries are conspiring against the united states to fuel a border crisis added the biden of administration has dropped the ball. kaylee mcghee white, no sur surprise, we were worried about terrorism of the wide-open border for two and half years, your reaction. >> the clip from christopher wray says it all, ten seconds that's how long it took them to answer the question. you could tell he was struggling to find an appropriate answer. that says it all. >> he did not want to say the truth that we know the truth. if you watch the interview with a migrant caravan he's bragging about the fact that cen

maria: fordyce editor rick scott questioned christopher wray on the potential terrorist attack here,the country is actually safer than when president biden took office, watch this. >> do you believe is the united states safer from foreign terror threats and safer than when joe biden took office. >> what i would say to you the terror threats have elevated but i also think there's a lot of things that the country has gone throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them. >> such as. >> joe biden's biggest problem, he is scared to death of offending people, look at all the decisions he has made. maria: i don't think that the biggest problem. >> if you apply that rule or that theory to his presidency from getting out of afghanistan to not taking a stand on the border to letting all these kids protest and raid cvs during the blm movement to say it's okay if boys want to dress up as girls and player girl sports teams on and on let's not offended ebuddy comic, joe biden, take a stand. maria: it could be his compromising to get the money from the overseas players and he doe

the former president got support from former senator rick scott, something governor desantis brushed off, saying he wasn't concerned when asked about it from nbc this weekend. mr. trump faces more legal challenges this week. there are two state-level efforts to keep him off the ballot, plus his ongoing cases across states, including new york, where mr. trump himself will testify in the fraud case tomorrow. his family business is on the line, and he has already been fined twice for violating gag orders and, of course, this coming just days before the third gop presidential primary debate that is this wednesday right here in miami which mr. trump won't be on stage for. he'll be holding his own rally just outside of miami. so you can tell the political whirlwind in the state of florida is just getting started, willie. >> it's all happening in florida this week. thank you. >>> kristen welker is moderator of "meet the press." kristen, good morning. it's great to see you. so, one year out from election day, here we are in a race unlike anyone has ever seen before where you're going to have

senator rick scott.efront of supporting me when i saw mass migration occurring here in the southernmost county in the united states. all three were on the spot, brought in resources from fhp, fwc, coast guard really stepped up the game. i had a conversation with secretary the mayorkas who stepped up and brought in more resources to help us. so we had at one time record numbers of migration occurring. we've seen the numbers really diminish because of the full court pressure that we have between our state, local, federal partners all putting pressure on air national guard, i think what desantis did was right on target. he's doing what he can to protect this state, trying to mitigate the migrant impacts and trying to determine who's coming into this country. we see so many people coming in that we just don't know who they are, what their intentions are. and even if they give a name, we have no if idea to prove that is really who they are, so it's kind of scary from a national security standpoint. rachel: ye

this is your republican colleague in the senate in florida, rick scott. he says this.unning for president. make no mistake. every single one of them would be a better president than joe biden. republican voters are making their voices heard loud and clear. they want to return to the leadership of donald trump. to that you say what? >> i must have missed where those voters have actually voted yet. isn't it odd we have not had one contest and there's people that are having a rush to short circuit the people's voice. people have not been able to speak, one of the reasons why we are here in iowa and now in my 85th county out of 99, i'll be the only candidates that does all 99 counties, i can tell you, obviously the former president has support but there's a lot of people that have not made up their mind. there are people leaning to him now who are not -- have not made a final decision and so you are going to start to see as we get in the next couple months and into the new year, you are going to see people make some decisions about ok, what's the pathway for the republican

unless democrats win against ted cruz in texas or rick scott in florida they have to hold on to seventle ground states to remain even. we're not talking about the majority but remaining even. you're talking about wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, nevada, and then the two states of ohio, sherrod brown's seat, tester's seat in montana. those are two difficult states and of course you've got arizona on the map, where ruben gallego is running on the democratic like. kyrsten sinema has not announced a bid, but that would be a competitive, difficult three-way race. republicans look like they're in good condition with joe manchin bowing out of the race. >> speculation about a potential manchin third-party bid was amped up yesterday. take a listen. >> what i will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there's an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. every incentive in washington is designed to make our politics extreme. the growing divide between democrats and republicans is paralyzing congress, and worsening our nation's p

we just heard from rick scott the senator from the great state of florida, he said i know our jewish families all across my state and across the country are pretty scared to death right now. he and maggie hassan from new hampshire both said people are terrified. they don't want to go to the synagogue. and, when you think about the number of people who are being threatened, the jewish people make up 2.4% of the population. but, according to christopher wray yesterday, 60% of the religious based hate crimes happening in the united states, 60% toward the jewish people. >> lawrence: the problem is that the fbi director did not lay out a plan to combat what is happening all across the country. did i not hear him lay out federal investigations into what is happening on the college campuses. i did not hear him say how they are going to address what is going to happen in all of our streets where they are openly displaying the hamas flag and the talking points of hamas. so, again, there was a concerted effort from the fbi to lay out what they were going to do with parents, when they felt like

republican party, you've had this kind of agenda fighting between, you know, folks like senator rick scottbviously, donald trump at the top of the party and people like glenn youngkin, who have tried to pitch themselves as kind of conservative legislative shapers who could use this virginia session to really show how that works electorally. and that didn't pan out tonight. i mean, this is someone who's going to be term limited out of that virginia gubernatorial seat. and he was hoping to have a kind of moment that really showed that this brand of politics worked for these type of voters to actually get some things done in the next year with full control. >> absolutely. >> and so none of those things are coming to fruition. and i think we're seeing a democratic party that has learned a kind of muscle memory in the trump era. they did a better job organizing kind of on a state, local level. they reversed some of their grass roots problems that we saw during the obama era. and frankly, all of those groups that popped up in 2016 to 2020 have created a kind of language that's helped them in the

caller: rick scott probably. -- tim scott. host: tim scott? caller: i won't vote for chris christie because he needs to go on that 600 pound life show. host: steve in indiana, a democrat. caller: i'm calling to comment on joe manchin. i don't think you should run again. matter of fact, i think he should resign right now. he has been nothing but a strong man for republicans. that has caused us problems in the past. he and kyrsten sinema have single-handedly destroyed joe b's vision forca and because they have put stranglen his vision, it's happening positive in thisstill country. i traveled the country, the eastern half of the united states there are construction jobs going on everywhere. buildings are being put up and i'm not talking about 10,000 square-foot buildings, i'm talking hundreds of thousands of square feet. look at the battery plant the world's largest battery plant in deep red kentucky that just won with andy beshear. joe manchin has no business in politics. he is part owner of a coal company and his daughter is in pharmaceuticals.

senator rick scott says their lives depend on one group of people, they are not in israel.many people don't want for ukraine to win, and i know that many do not want russia to lose and we should take a closer look at how we spend money. meanwhile , a new battle is brewing on capitalist hill, pitting senate and house republicans against each other. senate minority leader mitch mccon and newly elected house speaker micah johnson are going to argue about over- funding ukraine and providing money to the government. senator mcconnell hopes to maintain military aid ukraine and israel together, while speaker johnson makes it clear that he would like to separate it. if funding for ukraine and israel is combined, then the chances are high that ukraine will receive the money, but if the assistance is divided, then the chances are high that the money will not reach it. house republicans are the group most opposed to funding ukraine. the united states supplied ukraine with weapons and money. declares that right now there is a new one in the person of china, russia and and he believes t

but you cannot give people this power, and then scott when the result is not the one you are hoping for. the former republican senator ricksponse to voters in ohio protecting access to abortion. he said, and i quote, you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot in a lot of young people come out and vote. thank goodness most of the state in this country don't allow you to put everything on the ballot, because pure democracies are not the way to run a country. pure democracies are not the way to run a country. and lamenting that a lot of young people come out to vote. maybe tuesday's elections were not about this issue or that issue, maybe, just maybe americans actually like living in a democracy. in 2024, it may come down to one or two motivated issues, the, abortion economy, perhaps or maybe this is about americans having the right to decide for themselves. listen, your deodorant just has to work. i use secret aluminum free. just swipe and it lasts all day. secret helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. and hours later, i still smell fresh. secret works! ohhh yesss. ♪♪ meet the traveling tr
