sheila jackson lee is an interesting case. her former staffers, she was going to run she ran for the mayor of houston. she lost that race on the saturday and all not monday she filed for reelection and it's been a bitter race. of the two we mentioned the most vulnerable incumbent. host: thetion. sth let's start with paul in new york, and independent. caller: as the new york motor i feel disenfranchised. i would like to be able to vote for nikki haley and feel it my vote matters. i would like to ask the guests opinion on why the primary elections are so fractured with different rules and etc.. just a few states get to decide who is a candidate. it seems like it is set up that way towhat could be done to get the whole electorate involved or do we just want the status and with the states deciding? guest: that's one that democrats have been grappling wit president biden won the white house he rearranged the primary candidate to be more representative of the party as a whole. there are different ways that the party isrytosentative.

. >> congresswoman sheila jackson >> my voice is raspy but my voice is strong. >> congressman john, republicanhave you stand right here, your thoughts leaving the chamber tonight here in statuary hall? >> obviously we are going to have partisan differences with what the president says with us as republicans. what i'd hope he would have more outreach when we talk about border situation. house republicans passed hr2 ic border bill which would continue the work on building the fence. we just made a visit down there to tucson a few weeks ago, the fence federal is still laying there, the date of october 2020 is when it was dropped off and so that and some reforms. when we talk about the system being broken, it isn't so much broken as enforcement of the ca, you know, for us to continue to get blamed on, the democrats had the house, the white house years of his term. so it's really border enforcement that we need. >> when you're talking about blaming republicans, they're blaming us, are you talking about the president referring to that bill that was negotiated in the senate >> the one that would let

i spoke to representative sheila jackson lee, and she talked about, you know, securing or making blackat dei, diversity, equity, and theclusion is being stripped away from them and showing that the administration will have them back. i talked to maxine waters. she said she personally reached out to the white house with a request about talking about homelessness and housing discrimination. so they have specific demands, and these are things that they're hearing from their constituents out on the ground. >> so tell us a little bit about your reporting and how aware is the biden campaign of his vulnerability? that black voters particularly black men seem to not be supporting him as much as frankly president biden needs. some perhaps will actually take this step to vote for donald trump, and others just stay home or find a third party candidate. what is the biden re-elect team doing about this? >> i think they're very clear that, you know, even a small percentage of black voters leaving the party or voting for donald trump is probably a concern for them. and you've seen president biden out

this is sheila jackson lee, veteran congresswoman sheila jackson lee.. the reason that this race was of interest and on the map in texas is because sheila jackson effectively left her house seat and was no longer going to defendant because she was going to go run for mayor of houston. she did not win the houston mayoral race, and then decided, i think i'm going to defend my seat. other people it already jumped into the race, and quitting amanda edwards, was a future star in texas democratic politics and was running a very effective race there. people thought she was going to give sheila jackson lee a run for her money just because of the logistics and the timing around that. sheila jackson lee will be returning to the house, and texas to that strange circumstance. somebody new to watch out for on their bench of democratic candidates. i feel like i've been at msnbc long enough that i've been to the texas will someday turn blue wave. and then on the other side, texas will never be blue. >> texas used to be blue. texas could be blue again. >> i think the r

we spoke with a congressman, sheila jackson lee, a democrat who is running to keep her seat in congress. and she told me, yes, it is a more difficult message for stuff to sell for joe biden. we have to tell our story . we have to be more effective and tell out story, present buying is doing a very, very strong job if you will. and that strong job is that he realize the problem, but he also realizes a sense of humanity that you have to mix humanity with laws with making sure that people are voting, excuse me, that make sure that people are complying with the law. but at the same time, you have to make sure that the laws are humane. so it's a very fine line to walk. and democrats realize it, and we're seeing the impact of that. 80 percent of americans hold say that they think the current administration is doing a poor job in handling the migrant influx. and that means again the joe biden is on the defense of this critical issue of immigration, fully id. thank you very much for that. heidi's ro, castro lived in houston, texas. a sign 2020 joe biden won an overwhelming 92 percent of the bla

going strong for the last 20 years, one that you may not have noticed and that is congresswoman sheila jackson, lee it's basically become an unspoken rule that the texas democrats snags this coveted aisle seat every year for her exclusive interaction is the president walks down the aisle. this year was no different. she got this selfie with president biden and tweeted it for all of us to see. writing, hey there potus and congresswoman joins us now, it's great to have you and i want to talk about your speech in your seat, but i also want to talk about you're wearing all white tonight. and if you watched in the audience tonight, you notice that there was an unmistakable group that was wearing it for reproductive rights, something that president biden addressed pretty early on talking about ivf and what's happened in alabama. what did you make of his message tonight on that? the issue enormously strong there are many connections to reproductive rights, to texas, and i'm a texas girl the case roe v. wade came out of texas the horrific anti-abortion law came out of texas and so for the president to

also, sheila jackson lee isn't a very tough primary down that texas is often on this network and others very visible longtime member of congress. she went to to run for houston mayor, kinds of graph the ball a little bit. somebody who's in the race to succeed her, stay in the race when she went back to her house seat and has raised a lot of money. i wouldn't be surprised if she'll jazz amanda edwards. edwards, very young. she'll show that a lot of youth to this very aging body up here >> interesting note from mccarthy, chris it's like circle back to what you were saying because i am actually really interested in your take on what you think if haley wants to have a future in politics, like what she should do, because there's this question of should she dropped out? what is the best timing for her? and also should she >> endorse trump? what do you think? so i think staying in the race much longer pass tonight is a potential problem. if she, if she maybe if she pulls off these three states that bakari has picked, maybe that gives you the reason to stay around a little bit longer. the longe
