and you've got ronna mcdaniel saying, yes, now we've got the hostage, it's going help us politicallyoes that make any sense? seems most polling shows if there's a default, most voter tend to blame republicans instead of democrats on this issue. >> yeah, i think right now some republicans are feeling emboldened because there have been a couple of polls showing that voters, some nationwide, actually agree with the idea of doing some spending cuts in addition to raising the debt ceiling. i think they're looking at those policy thinking maybe the narrative will change this time around. but the reality is that, you know, gop leaders will tell you that they don't want to default. i mean, they know privately it would be a disaster for the country, and it would blow back on not just democrats, it would blow back on republicans, too, and they know this. i do think that this warning we saw last night by one of the top credit agencies, saying that they were basically putting the u.s. on notice, that, you know, if this continues we could see a potential downgrade of the nation's credit rating. t

i saw that illustration of ronna mcdaniel comments in nikki haley last week.at advice if you are a republican and to want to get out of a primary. if you're in a state that has partisan primaries, they are running in the republican primary. but it is a terrible idea in terms of a general election strategy. and this isn't just abortion. this is pretty much any issue, right? guns, economic, foreign policy, security, you run to the extremes in your primaries, but then when you want to get that middle where the majority of americans are in the middle, you need to moderate your message. so sure for the primary, but it's a real head scratcher in terms of wanting to get to the white house and having to win independents and perhaps a moderate democrat. >> that's the whole issue, the difficulty for candidates between -- the difference between primary victory and then general election victory. meanwhile, as florida governor ron desantis moves closer to announcing a presidential bid, his poll numbers are behind trump's. he's getting some advice from an unlikely source. d

should republicans take ronna mcdaniels' warning seriously? >> sure. look. first of all, it's a long way to the election. and things can change. second, the democrats have been very, very good at survival. look at the big cities that are disasters but have democratic mayors and it's unlikely you could beat them. the capacity for power is enormous. they desperately want to stay in power and do everything they can to do that. having said that, the american people, if they get mad enough they'll throw people out. jimmy carter learned that, george h.w. bush learned that. the american people ultimately can hire and fire despite the news media and despite everything else. at least at the presidential level. so i think biden has to be worried and doubly worried because kamala harris is an enormous drag on the ticket. if i were a democrat i would be a little nervous. >> bill: let's talk about balance of power in congress. mitch mcconnell said this. we have the possibility of screwing this up and that gets back to candidatgeorgia, arizona and new hampshire because we

stuart: last one for you, rnc ronna mcdaniel said republicans were unable to sway independents in theterms. roll it. >> the biggest takeaway, independents did not break our way which has to happen in the 2024. that is what causes red wave. abortion was a key issue in the pennsylvania. the guidance we get to our candidates you have to address this head on. stuart: do you agree with this analysis, abortion was a real problem in 2022? >> it was and it wasn't. it was an issue in michigan where there was a constitutional amendment on the ballot. let's look at couple states to see if we find the real problem here. arizona, the republican state treasurer 19thousand votes more than republican nominee for u.s. senate and 120,000 votes than republican governor nominee. she is at bottom of the ticket. they're at the top. brian kemp gets 400,000 votes more than the republican nominee her develop walker. in ohio, a very strong pro-life governor wins by 25 points what used to be a battleground state, republican nominee for the u.s. senate wins by six. endorsed by donald trump, endorsed by donald tr

ronna mcdaniel would bode well for republican officials. now, a fox news poll says she could be right. more people would blame the president if mccarthy and biden fail to reach a debt limit agreement. 47 to 44%. former federal reserve chairman alan greenspan said in 2011, the u.s. can never default because it can always print more money. texas congressman chip roy, a member of the house freedom caucus urged mccarthy to not make more concessions. >> our position should be hold the line. we passed legislation. its sitting in the senate or can be sent to the senate if chuck schumer would be here, which he's not. >> the only public events for president biden says he's meeting with the ncaa hoops champions, the lsu tigers and the uconn huskies. president biden, there was not a white house press briefing. if villanova was coming, you might be more sympathetic. >> martha: we'd be there. congratulations to the lsu women. great to see any winning team at the white house. with that let's bring in republican congressman bob goode of virginia, a member

. >> dana: ronna mcdaniel said this yesterday. were there but want to make sure our viewers see it, too. >> people vote based on what's happening in their lives. investigations and all the things happening around president trump since before he was the president. i started when he was a candidate. it has been going on for 5 or 6 years now. they want closure and move on and talk about what's happening in their lives. >> dana: you mentioned suburban voters. track record back in 2020, right? biden at 59% trump, 40. important issues, crime, immigration. abortion is an issue the republican party needs to deal with. you could see a close election shaping up if it ends up being those two. >> absolutely. it is interesting to remember you have 70% of independent voters say they don't want it to be president biden running again. 60% say they don't want it to be donald trump running again. there is room out there i think for movement on these. i think it lies in the places we're looking at here in suburban woman and evangelical vote. you see

ronna mcdaniel is with us. i hope michigan is treating you well. nbc found out 2 or 3 weeks ago when asked about joe biden should he run for president 70% said should he run among all americans, 70% say no. donald trump, should he run for president, all americans 60% say no. is that where we're going, ronna? >> there is a long way to go between now and august. you guys know this better than anyone. so much changes. we haven't made the case. what i will say is it's amazing that joe biden, who holds the reins of power as the president of the united states is so underwater. the american people do not feel like our country is heading in the right direction. we're heading towards default. a broken border, crime rising. fentanyl poisoning our children. the president is failing. i think republicans are in good shape to take back the white house in 2024. >> dana: the democratic nominee preference, this is interesting. primary voters identify as democrats 62% want joe biden. 19% want robert kennedy junior and marian williamson 9%. then for the gop nominee d

the chairman of the rnc, ronna mcdaniel, iswaying in on the party strange of handling the hot button. take a look. >> the biggest takeaway we're taking is independence did not break our way, which has to happen if we're going to win in 2024, which is exclusively what causes that red wash. abortion was the key issue in states like michigan and pennsylvania. the gietd answer we're going to give our candidates is you have to face this head on. many of our candidates across the board refuse to talk about it thinking, oh, we can talk about the economy and ignore this big issue, and they can't. >> speaking of 2024, senator tim scott of south carolina is reportedly prepared to announce he'll be jumping in the race for the republican nomination. scott hinted at the launch of his campaign during a town hall yesterday telling the crowd, quote, time to make the final step and he would have a major announcement coming on may 22nd. last month scott launched an exploratory committee for a 2024 gop presidential bid. if he does enter the race, he will face off against competition, of course, like fo

. >> so the chairwoman of the republican national committee, ronna mcdaniel, acknowledges that her party a new strategy for winning elections with 2024 quickly approaching, right around the corner. according to the washington post, that was the finding of a republican autopsy of the 2022 election, and when that red wave, remember the red wave that was supposed to happen? it did not really show up. according to the post, a draft version of the report says, quote, abortion hit of the republicans in the midterm elections, with candidates trying to avoid the issue and alienating some voters. while democrats saw their bases energy grow, according to the people familiar with that document. republicans are once again trapped between their own unpopular policies and, guess who, their front runner, donald trump, who is asked whether he would sign republican senator lindsey graham's a bill that amounts to a national abortion ban if he would be president. watch. >> i will get something done where everyone is going to be very satisfied, i believe that. >> on the national level? >> i think we will ge

ronna mcdaniel, the chairwoman of the republican national committee actually said that it was a goodcans to be playing with the debt ceiling and that it would bode well for them in an election. when i was chair, i would have never said something like that and as a responsible member of congress, i would never say that we should risk not paying our nation's bills and crashing our economy and jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the united states. putting that off into 2025 was a critical part of this deal. that shows you the kind of negotiator that joe biden is and ensuring that we're not going to put our economy into jeopardy for the rest of his term. by the way, there's an important provision with the administrative application of pay go to student loans. while i would have -- that's a little bit concerning. one thing that was really good about that part of the negotiation is that it limits the ability -- it actually prevents the ability from people suing to stop that student loan program. and that's an important accomplishment because we need to make sure we have the kind of c

they want, and, look ronna mcdaniel said, she thought that a default would be great for republican candidatese said it three days ago, it is absolutely most grotesque an unacceptable thing. and mccarthy isn't some pretty water here, as my friend said, my friend's does go into mccarthy's side of the court. the president has done when he came to do, he negotiated a deal, and now, kevin mccarthy has to either wrangle the insane people, or let speaker marjorie taylor greene takeover, we will see how it goes from there. >> molly, everybody, at this, moment is kind of looking at how mccarthy's sort of dancing with his hard right caucus and the noise that is already beginning to emanate from them about scuttling the steel. m them>> but it is not necessara smooth sale on the left either. there are some issues that the more progressive members of the democratic caucus in the house, and the senate, would like to see protected. they were not very clear on, exactly how much they have to give up at this point, but what kind of noise do you think they can make, very much as we are seeing coming from the ri

but, look ronna mcdaniel who's seen the numbers. she's coming from an informed perspective. she knows where many republican voters, perhaps the majority of primary voters, will stick with trump anyway. is granting focus group data showing exactly how reluctant republicans are to ditch the indicted ex president. sarah longwell conducted inward about that focus group data for the atlanta, she has his publisher of the bulwark -- sarah, take us through your findings. >> look, right after the indictment came out, we kind of held an emergency focus group. and we asked the voters, will this make you more or less likely to vote for donald trump? and this was the most lit up and excited i have seen people about trump in a long time. the indictment has this rally around trump effect. and it creates this environment where trump sucks up all the oxygen. and i think that is happening with a lot of these indictments. there's this peculiar pathology among republican voters, where they think that the more people are out to get trump, the reason is because, he is so dangerous to -- he is the

house chief of staff reince priebus is also the former head of the rnc, along with rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. ronno, we've talked about this a lot. tell me if you disagree with anything i just said .saidi >> well, sean , i agree with everything you said. and listen, the rn hasc has been doing this. florida didn't just get that way overnight. the rnc invested north carolina ,iowa, ohio.stat i think pennsylvania is a state where culturally republicans at the top of the ticket said don't vote , email. marziano said it, we have voter we nncourage voters s to bank their vote. we need to dd to do that.. and it's two parts we have to show them that we're securing their vote. we had eighty thousand poll watchers and poll workers recruited by the rnc in 2020we e two . so they need to know that we'r et a banker about early so you ca watching the process. and then you've got a bank,n geu your vote early so that you can. get out and poll watchit on election day. and this is going to biatie anvl initiative. we're goingeg to launch. we've been doing it.ba we're doing ballot harvesting. we turned out four

ronna mcdaniel came ousutpporti and said, we're supporting donaldrewere trump .s there were other candidates in the field, like a mark sanford or bill weld. they didn't get their chance to do it in some states, didn't even hold primaries. they just walked donald trump to the finish line there. so there's a bit o bitf hypocritical when people throw t that at the democrats. but obviously these numbers aren't fantastic and something has shifted. and i thin'tk a good amount of t is actually around what's goingg i wactually around what's goingg because i was looking back att h the polling for president obama when he had the same fight and when the american public was askee d, who will you blamel if we default?am it was republicans by a plusan 10 margin. now, if we default and i saw janet yellen just push the not to do so, hopefully we'll get something done. but it's president biden plus three or four points that he>> a would be the responsible. so something is shifting in o the american psyche in terms of who are holding responsible fora it and the perception that they have of republicans. they'r

that tone that you saw last night is the exact opposite of what people like ronna mcdaniel have been advising gop candidates. they've been recommending to candidates to address the sensitive topics head on, to be compassionate. take a page from joe biden's notebook and have a tone that is more inclusive and brings women into the fold, or at least makes them feel like the republican party can be an ally to women. >> yeah. of course, speaking of women, i didn't even talk about mothers who are now afraid to send their children to school because of what happens all too often and because of donald trump's republican party unwilling to do anything to protect our children in schools, in churches, synagogues, at country music festivals and shopping malls and grocery stores, you name it. willie, i just have to ask, i just have to ask, what the hell? what the hell was it with that audience? what the hell? what were they thinking putting that audience in there? it was -- those weren't undecided voters. it was a pep rally for donald trump where they mocked and ridiculed the cnn anchor. where the

. >> ronna mcdaniel said this could be good for us, to kick it into recession would be bad for the bidenhat. >> importantly, i'll let you respond to all this advice from democrats, because you are one, but importantly -- go ahead, respond. >> look, this is economic terrorism. the united states has a policy that we do not negotiate with terrorists abroad and we should not negotiate with terrorists at home. here's what i do know -- >> that really cuts through with it. >> there's 18 republicans who represent districts that joe biden won in 2020. and those republicans have not yet felt the pressure. they will in the coming day it is the democrats hold firm. if they hold firm. and negotiations are important. i think responsible stewardship of our economy and the nation at large is important but weakness is not important. they can't go face to face with the republican party as they say give us everything we want and in exchange we want destroy everything, and treat that from an equal standpoint. that's not what adults do, and that's not what patriots do. as we come to memorial day, we consider
