look at rob portman and you see somebody who is moderate, very much has worked across the aisle. could be replaced by j.d. vance, who is a very outspoken supporter of donald trump. he came out against, for example, the ukraine aid package where as a senator portman is among the most, one of the strongest supporters of ukraine in all of congress. in pennsylvania, senator toomey was someone who voted to convict former president trump in his second impeachment trial. and hash shown streaks of moderation, being independent you little bit. he could be replaced by somebody like dr. oz. so, i think you are seeing these folks in the party, particularly on foreign policy issues, being influenced by donald trump and being rewarded when they take these positions that are more in line with the base, but very turn off the leadership of the party, like mitch mcconnell. i remember sitting down with mitch mcconnell for an interview after the $40 billion ukrainian aid package passed and he was very much touting it as a victory, even though 11 members of his own conference voted against that packa

senators rob portman and amy klobuchar offering support. >> now there's a counteroffensive happeningthe southern part of ukraine where a few villages were liberated even today. >> reporter: but russia tightening its grip across much of the donbas in the east, two schools blasted by shells just days before the start of school and fresh attacks almost daily in kharkiv. this as inspectors from the international atomic energy agency are making the dangerous journey to the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. but the russian military could be calling the shots. the inspectors will cross into russian held territory that's recently come under heavy shelling. a russian installed official in the region says the inspectors will have one day to inspect the massive facility, saying they'll be allowed to inspect two of the six reactors and lingering questions around if the team will be able to speak to employees without the watchful eye of russian guards. a critical trip that the globe will be watching. >> the number one is the report for the world. the second thing is that they step up and talk about the

. >> marcy is fighting back, working with republican rob portman, protecting our jobs.er, she doesn't work for joe biden, she works for you. >> totally different. >> these competitive gas prices are going to be hard for democrats to hold, and you see this, this is not a new thing, we've seen this in past midterm elections where candidates try and distance themselves. this is an issue, does the president do a road show? where is he popular? where can he go? the white house wants to put him on the road. the other issue, going back to trying to sell something and get things out there, how many people even know what these laws are. the infrastructure bill -- >> i have always been skeptal of a road show to sell a bill is something that will change people's minds. how they feel their government is or is not working for them. >> if you're the party in office, you either run against something or for something. >> the law that passed last year, they made a big point, getting people out there and talking about, polling shows people don't know what that is. >> exactly, here we are

they're pouring money into ohio to hold on to rob portman's seat, which should be a complete no brainerted. it's got to hurt for mcconnell, right, because this is something he's always prided himself on, picking the candidates he liked that he wanted to win. they did it in georgia with herschel walker. that's not panning out the way they thought. honestly, you'll be able to if republicans don't have the senate on november 8th, you can point to these candidates and say that's probably why. >> it is 50/50, which means if you're republicans is first, hold your own and take one away. so they're worried about ohio. they should not be worried about ohio. they're worried about pennsylvania. that's a republican incumbent too. let's go to wis with is and ron johnson, again a, a fox news poll out, senator ron johnson, 46%. that's a very close, very competitive race 80 days out. but if you're mitch mcconnell, you're thinking, ron, you're my incumbent senator. you have to take care of this so we can spend money elsewhere. >> i don't really see this assumption as holding. the kind of candidates who

rob portman won that seat six years ago by 20 points. is the least popular president in the history of presidential polling. we have the worst inflation in 40 years. the highest gas prices on record. the worst crime wave since the 199 0*s. the worst border crisis in american history. it should be a red wave of unprecedented proportion. republicans should be sweeping the democrats out of the house and senate. the fact that it is tight is really a testament to the fact that even though people don't like joe biden, they are not so thrilled with the gop and they aren't embracing us. i hope the red wave comes but it is not guaranteed and republicans, if it doesn't republicans need to take a hard look in the mirror. >> trace: democrats are looking at the president and some of them are running away. the list gets longer and longer. watch this. >> senator, are you okay with biden this fall? are you campaign with biden this fall? will you please answer for your constituents? >> trace: there is the list getting longer and longer. i don't have an e

senators rob portman and amy klobuchar are in ukraine coming the same day welcomed scientists from thetheir expected visit to expect the nuclear power plant tomorrow. this as ukraine says it's trying to strike back against russia six months after the kremlin forces took large swaths of territory in the south of the country, a significant counteroffensive is aimed at taing back parts of that russian-occupied territory has now begun. the front lines are centered around the first city seized by russia. let's bring in josh letterman in ukraine and lieutenant general the former deputy commander of european command. what is the the latest on the ground. i know you have been focusing a lot on the u.n. weapons inspectors. >> that's right. they are expected to arrive within the next 24 hours or so at the earliest where they certainly have their work cut out for them. not only inspecting the damage to the plant, but also trying to get a handle on what backup safe tiff systems are still operable. there's been ongoing squabbling over the route that they are going to take to get there. ukraine sayi

susan collins, ron johnson, lisa murkowski, rob portman, and tom tillis. about a week ago, the new york times wrote, miss baldwin says that privately at least five other republicans have given her assurances that they will also support the bill. assuming all democrats are on board, i don't know the math on. this is not the fact that i just talked to another five? do you have 60 votes for this? >> i believe we do. but i also believe that this is not a showboat or a political vote. we want to get this bill passed. and so i would love to go in there with more than ten as we just talked about with the insulin cap, we had seven republicans but not ten. we need to make sure that this passes. and i can tell you now that we are on the august break, i have talked with so many folks who are worried about the certainty of their marriage. and that goes not only for same-sex marriages, but interracial marriages. both loving versus virginia, and obergefell, were decided on the same 14th amendment privacy arguments that roe v. wade was decided on. and people are very fri

. >> yesterday i joined rob portman and amy klobuchar on their bipartisan visit to ukraine. we spent some time in the capitol as well as visiting destruction in some of the northern towns and discussing the threat of the invasion. the pair met with president zelensky. >> we were honored to meet with him and make it so clear that we stand with ukraine and stand with democracy. >> meanwhile, smoke is rising in the south of ukraine where troops say they're taking the defensive. forces have made progress in the southern city of kherson. we're talking about what that progress is. its mainly ground offenses at this point. they have said that they managed to take more territory and specifically targeting russian ammunition depots. neil? >> neil: thanks, alex for that. so what exactly is happening particularly with the status of the sort of upgraded war here and the fact that the russians are doubling down on the threats there and indeed the soldiers that are already arriving there. john kirby joins us right now. the national security council for strategic communications coordinator

. >> next, senators rob portman of ohio and chris murphy of connecticut debated key issues facing the. including the economy, immigration, and gun violence. it is part of the bipartisan senate project and hosted by george washington university in d.c.

democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota and rob portman of ohio also met with president volodymyrthen visited bucha where russia accused of committing war crimes. speaking to nbc news, this is how both senators summed up the situation on the ground. >> no one ever thought this was going to be easy, certainly not the ukrainian people. but they have stunned the world as we told president zelenskyy and in terms of their bravery and their courage. and it just makes you realize that you can stand up to bullies, but you have to do it and you have to go to your friends. and wouldn't be where we are right now if it wasn't for the bravery of the ukrainian people. >> i say the sanctions need to be tightened significantly. the best place to look right now is to europe. europe made a commitment to cut off energy from russia. they have done so as of this month. with regard to coal said they will do it with regard to oil and gas next year. it's essential. >> a team from the atopic energy agency is going to inspect damage at russian-occupied nuclear power plant that sparked international fears o

rob portman and chris murphy will participate in a debate from the bipartisan policy center. you can watch both events live on c-span, on the free c-span now video app or online at c-span.org. >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government funded by , these television stations and more, including charter communications. >> broadband is a force for empowerment. that is why charter invested billions building infrastructure, upgrading technology, empowering opportunity in communities big and small. charter is connecting us. >> charter communications supports c-span as a public service, along with these other television providers, giving you a front row seat to democracy. >> this week on the c-span networks, wednesday morning with the upcoming midterm elections, the senate judiciary committee hears from the department of justice and cybersecurity officials on threats to election workers. then madee -- maine senators and senator joe manchin testifies about their bill on election reform. on thursday morning, fbi director christopher wray goes before the senate judiciary committee.

. >>> another issue before the senate is gay marriage, what rob portman wants.gh votes to codify same-sex marriage because justice clarence thomas suggested it might be in jeopardy. you said two weeks ago that's the state-by-state approach is the best way to go. i want to be clear about your position. are you saying the 2015 supreme court decision that made same-sex marriage the law of the land nationally should be overturned? >> no. i am saying that i don't think it's going to be overturned. >> nor should it be? >> well, that would be up to the court. the reasoning, i think, could be attacked but the point i'm trying to make is i've been consistent. i think states should decide the issue of marriage and states should decide the issue of abortion. i have respect for south carolina. south carolina voters here i trusted to define marriage and deal the issue of abortion. not nine people on the court. that's my view. >> how far down -- how wide should that go? how many more issues should that go to? for example, loving versus virginia that allowed interracial marria

and then there is retiring ohio senator rob portman who said, "one time debt forgiveness eliminates theunfair to everyone else who will have to pay for it". here's the thing. miss green and her husband who own a gym in georgia both got $182,000 handout from the federal government. and mr. portman whose family owns a restaurant in ohio, he too, too, got one time debt forgiveness through the ppp for $200,000. plenty more republicans like green and portman. but don't take my word for it. check out this new white house twitter thread putting at least six republicans on blast for taking your money, not paying it back, but criticizing students for getting a fraction of what they got. fun fact. conservatives love to complain about handouts. but they love receiving them even more. and after the break, you are going to find out who got an even big handout, an enormous sum of money as a reward for rigging the supreme court. and while this time it's not from the government, the government sweet rules for the rich made it 100% tax free. 100e i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance

discussion about to get underway on the economy, foreign policy and the gun violence with senators rob portman of ohio and chris murphy of connecticut. this is live coverage on c-span. >> the guidelines are very simple after one senator presents his argument the other will have a three minutes to respond. then each of you will have another 90 seconds for rebuttals. we will follow the format with all four topics tonight. senator murphy won the coin toss but he allowed senator portman to go first. we are starting in true partisan fashion. so, senator portman, we will have you begin on the topic of inflation and the economy. sen. portman: great. thank you, nicole for moderating. i appreciate cw for hosting today. i see some of our stuff out here, chris. my staff had to be here. [laughter] but, i also want to thank the hatch foundation and the kennedy institute for what they do to discourage partisanship and encourage finding common ground. warren was a dear friend of mine. i got to know it when i was in the bush administration. finally, the bipartisan policy center which i worked closely with in

rob portman would've been sailing to re election and, you know, or a portman like candidate. so, i think the evidence is very, very much in the senate races. i think with the redistricting, a lot of the states that some of the seats that may have been closer before aren't as close as they were, but, and i think maybe with kansas as an example as others, you know, when you have too extreme, you can go right off the cliff, you know, you can be, well, i can be with glenn youngkin is my friend. i voted for him. i'm not voting for election deniers, so, you know, so in virginia, who replaced denver reblooming? i think for a lot of republicans, i think you see that evidence in the know, unfortunately, that district got a little bit more republican, so it's not a problem for bob good, but the quality that's gonna make next year, you're gonna have a lot more marjorie, greene's a lot more crazy people, you know, like miller from illinois, beat out rocky, um, rodney davis, sensible, pretty mainstream guy. so we got a kook instead, you know, we got downgrades and a lot of these seats. bu
