he said, quote, when stacey abrams immediately endorsed manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams they so freaked out by your track record and what you're doing? is it because trump lost georgia? is it because they lost two seats and power of the senate? what is that about? >> i first think it's deeply disrespectful to his fellow senator joe manchin. joe manchin has demonstrated a remarkable autonomy. the fact that i agree with this offer of compromise and to negotiate, should be seen as a sign of him being a statesman, someone willing to work towards the betterment of our nation, to make sure no matter what your party, your citizenship is protected. that said, i think the challenge we're facing on the republican side is when my name is attached, they have visions of georgia and the change in election outcomes. the reality is we're not guaranteed victory every cycle, but we should all be guaranteed access and guaranteed opportunity. that should not be something that they find so terrifying. in fact, if i were in sthar shoes, i would find my best way to mute me. solve the problem s

>> judge pirro: so joe and stacey, what changed?s dramatic turn around take place because abrams and farrar left socialist cabal see the writing on the wall and no americans of all races and all y support voter i.d.? because get this, now even democratic senator from georgia raphael warnock is claiming he never opposed voter i.d. so yet again, democrats are not telling the truth, lying over and over again and destroying whatever credibility they had left all along the way. enjoying may now for reaction fox news contributor leo terrell along with america's legal founder stephen miller. okay, guys, i will start with you stephen. let's talk about the voter i.d. issue. the supreme court has already ruled that asking for a voter i.d. is constitutional and, in fact, only 12 states that don't ask for a voter i.d. so it's not like this is really out of the realm of even the supreme court's knowledge. >> no, but we need to go one step further. we need to make sure for people voting by mail, which is that sound bite you played earlier, have t

please welcome back to the show, stacey abrams. hello, stacey. how are you?"while justice sleeps. last time you were here, it was right before the runoffs in georgia, both the candidates you were supporting won and we talked about you sleeping and i'm just wondering if you managed to take a celebratory nap at the end of those run-off elections? >> i did indeed. but i woke up to voter suppression coming back and forth, so i may not do another nap for a while. >> seth: you are a busy person, and while we have greatly appreciate your efforts in trying to stop the tide of voter suppression laws that are, obviously, a huge problem right now. you also have time to write books. this is very exciting, because this is not your first novel, but it is your first novel with your actual name on it you have written under a pen name before. i'm wondering, obviously, you knew you were the author of those books. was it different writing a book knowing that everyone who picked it up would know it was written by the stacey abrams >> no, i think what was different was knowing th

thank you very much, stacey abrams.right now. >>> tonight, on "all in." prosecution of capitol rioters continues in the republicans selling the big lie start cashing in, again. >>> tonight, the latest turn in the slow-motion insurrection. then, first, it was the media. then, the democrats. now, his own white house counsel? who wasn't donald trump spying on? with the reporter who broke the mcgahn news. >>> plus. >> everyone in that room, today, understood the shared appreciation, quite frankly, that america is back. >>> as the

which is why everybody from colin allred to stacey abrams is supporting it.s is that there's a plan here. and i think at the end of the day, as you know, lawrence, when people have said they're opposed to something, so in joe manchin's case, he's opposed to the "for the people" act, opposed to the filibuster reform, but now he's showing a little openness. there's got to be an exit ramp. i think the exit ramp is what republicans are doing all over the country. they're not hiding what they're doing. they want to change who gets to decide who wins elections, give that power to state legislatures. i think they can say, we didn't want to do this but we were forced to do it because the republicans clearly have their aims on harming, if not ending, our democracy. so i think that the opening act of the play was really today. i'm excited to see what happens next week. >> david plouffe, you have that combination of experience that i could listen to all night, expertise in presidential campaigning, expertise in governing in the obama white house. thank you very much for

stacey abrams is a well-known national figure at this point. she's beloved by the democratic party and by progressives, and credited with helping turn georgia into joe biden's column. in the 2020 election. and getting those two democratic senators over the hurdle. in january, and the special elections. and yet she is reviled by the conservative base, by the republican party because she's seen as activists, because she seen as threatening the status quo for republicans and to former president trump in particular. i think blunt was trying to have something of a dog whistle there too conservative republican voters out in the country, in explaining why the republican senators at this point appear to be united in trying to resist and oppose this voting legislation. >> lisa, i have one for you, this reminder of exactly how popular obamacare was with the last president, just a reminder we will discuss on the other side. >> someone said the other day, but is the first thing you are going to do? we are going to work immediately on repealing obamacare. t

big retail weekend with us is stacey widlitz.rrupted by broadband connectivity, we were talking about amazon prime day and issues with the darker cloud surrounding it take us through the retail side. >> dom, over the last year, we have seen retailers and brands risk inventories inventory is low out there we have seen no promotions all of the earnings are higher gross margins year over year you think about primetime day. i don't know if they will have deals out there because of low inventory. amazon will be pushing their hardware very strongly so they can sell you more stuff. i would mention that today is 6/18 the second largest shopping festival alibaba festival behind 11/11. so many brands will be pushing internationally as china is the highest growth market. >> stacey, we spent a good amount of time on this network and it has been for a while talking about consumer prices. we are focused on things like inflation. we talk about lumber and copper prices constantly because we are seeing pricing trends go higher. however, the juxta

he's backed up now by stacey abrams.ing process and articulating why the importance of the vote is the foundation of the america that we live in. and his first reaction to what he proposes is from senator mitch mcconnell, not republican from kentucky, republican from the true state of cynicism. and it's a "no," no matter what you propose, no matter how far you go to come towards giving us something, the republican side, that we can live with, the answer is "no." and he's backed up by his entire caucus and nearly every member of the republican senate. so now joe manchin is going to have to stand there and he's going to have to say to himself, geez, i've been begging for bipartisanship on any of these votes. and when i turn around, there's no one behind me. there's no one behind me. they don't want bipartisanship. they just want to continue to say "no." so, joe manchin, you know, we like joe manchin, he's great with us when he comes on, but he's got some thinking to do. >> you know, mike, joe manchin, he's pretty good at t

the question of the day for democrats, do you agree with stacey abrams? can you support joe manchin's compromise bill? >> lawrence, this is like christmas come early. this meets the threshold of what we talked about last time i was on your show. number one, it allows americans to register to vote. it allows them to vote early, by mail, and on election day. free from interference. and it makes sure their votes are counted and not diluted through partisan gerrymandering. the first hurdle we had to get over was to get enough democratic votes in the senate, for a voting rights bill. we have that now in this form from senator manchin. and that's the first hurdle. you talked about with the next one is, which is how we get around the filibuster. i think this is a very good development, for anyone that cares about voting rights and we all should. e that >> normally, senior here last night discussing the fact, that joe manchin was caught on tape and what he thought was a private discussions and he is willing to change the threshold in various ways, including an id

of course they cover for stacey abrams. they will cover for her toxic hypocrisy slinging around the jim crow and race baiting. it serves democrats interest. interestingly to flush that out for a second, i think the media will enable anything as misleading as it is that furthers serves democrat interest. to that point and that distinction community, a coalition of black community leaders and business owners called out stacy abrams last month for promoting misinformation about georgia election law that lead to the boycotts that harris just mentioned. stacey abrams doesn't speak for the black community. she speaks for the white liberals. >> emily: this is what we're seeing reinforced by the liberal media. >> harris: now she's backtracking. >> kayleigh: yes and stacey abrams doesn't care about facts apparently. just ahead as we see a record smashing surge of migrants crossing the border, why is the white house now giving vice president harris a seventh, a seventh roll when she has yet to conquer her first task of tackling the b

thank you janet, kath and stacey. stacey, stacey the manager of the care home in doncaster.t has got the ball rolling, this wonderful injection that's been offered to them. that was kind of something monumental for me in my career, because i've never been in the limelight. i think it's a really big responsibility as well, from my side to actually represent the nurses, the doctors, the health care workers that, you know, work in the nhs, that we do a lot of great things, but we don't kind of normally shout about. and the day before that, we had to, i had to plan maggie's wardrobe because i didn't want her coming down in her gown. is this where the t—shirt came from? yes. i had a letterfrom somebody which i thought was really i lovely. the words she's written at the bottom of the letter was, "what a courageous lady", and that is what she said. and i thought, well, she thought i've done something really good, i didn'tjust do it for me, why would i do it for me? i did it for everybody around. both of you will know there'll be people watching this, thinking, "that's great but i d

i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams' substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> wade, that to me is the most ridiculous rationale for saying you're against something that we all knew, been done knew you were going to be against to begin with. so your thoughts on senator blunt and stacey abrams? >> well, you know, senator blunt's attempt to demonize stacey abrams' support for the joe manchin proposal is a tactic republicans have used for years in an effort to discredit support for an important piece of legislation. the fact that stacey abrams gave a full-throated support for joe manchin's proposal doesn't mean she supports every part of the bill. she recognizes it's an important building block to protect morn democracy where it is most at risk. after all, jonathan, 14 states have enacted over 22 new restrictions between january and mid-may of this year making it harder for people to vote. the manchin proposal addresses many of those restrictions. and i should point out that those restrictions came from very pa

it became the stacey abrams substitute and not the joe march be substitute. >> what do you think?er approval hurt manchin's chances here? >> stacey abrams and joe biden, any democrat and any progressive could have come out in favor of joe manchin's proposals and would have said no, and the reality is they are going to say no before joe manchin brought out the proposals. who are we really compromising with. what progress do they want? we see hundreds of bills across the states being pushed and these are reasonable compromises and some of the compromises people are very upset about, ie, voter i.d. laws. there's real concerns there. republican mcconnell made it clear that he was not going to support any type of proposal from joe biden or democrats and he's just staying good to his word. >> and you heard progress i was trying to negotiate with reap conditions is a waste of time. seeing how republicans reacted to what joe manchin put forth here, does that only validate that argument? >> it might validate the argument, but i think it's -- it's an irrelevant argument or moot argument bec

democrats including stacey aber ms.se his compromise saying the party might be willing to get behind it. >> i am endorsing the fact that we now have a list of priorities and that joe manchin is at the table and he's part of the conversation. it is an important step forward as we try to protect the freedom to vote and protect access to the vote that all 50 democratic senators are part of the conversation. i think that he makes common sense opportunities available for compromise. >> but, mitch mcconnell of course, rejected the compromise on behalf of senate republicans today writing quote, the plan endorsed by stacey abrams is no compromise and republican senator roy blunt of majority who mentioned recently called a quote, good friend, also publicly shut down the proposal. >> i actually think that wednesday sea abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal it became the abrams substitute not the joe manchin substitute. the >> question remains can democrats come together to pass any meaningful voting rights legisl

i think stacey made a good point.the first lady isn't elected, and that's why edith was doing was very dangerous, and you don't want people to be fearful. that's why hillary clinton suffered a lot because -- she they are not elected officials. they have a responsibility. it's maybe to lay out the privacy of the conversations with their husbands and alternative ways of thinking. we know first ladies have influenced their husbands on these issues. i talked about the aids legislation. barbara bush was responsible for getting george bush behind that. i'm not sure it was necessarily changing, but it is creating an awareness and i think a lot of first ladies have brought an awareness to their husbands of certain policies. stacy, it might want to comment? >> that's exactly right, diana. i also think that they come as a couple. and as a couple, so far, literally married. i think there is an expectation particularly among certain sections of the american public that the wives do this sort of disagreeing in private. she also ha

stacey i have a question for both of my colleagues. well, i was wondering diana what you thought the future of social media is with first. ladies. it's so new relative to these longer, you know history we've had with other types of communication. so we've got what really two. maybe three first ladies with twitter you where do you see that going? oh, i think as long as twitter is as popular as it is. they really have no choice, you know, one of the things i didn't really have time to develop as we did that pretty. small time limit to talk about pretty big topics on this is that you know, they they interact with one another and so for instance you get a photograph that then is picked up by the traditional press which then goes on twitter. it goes on facebook. it goes everywhere instagram and then it takes on a life of its own so i mean think about what eleanor could have done with social media and so it's not just a static type of thing as a photograph. this really does become a conversation and i think we've seen that, you know, the mem

i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> but here's what i don't get. manchin's compromise very clearly mandates things like voter i.d., which is what republicans have been calling for from the beginning. the actual content is what republicans like. is this just stacey abrams, that's what they don't? yamiche? >> one, thank you for having me. i think it's one of those things where, when you hear from stacey abrams, you have republicans ready to run when they hear her because they know she is the one that delivered georgia, she is the one that called out voting rights and voter suppression. so it's really tough because the moment you get bipartisanship and the people who are focused on voting in the democratic party, chief among them stacey abrams, republicans are looking at their elections and looking at 2022 and saying, we can't tie onto anything that this woman, this very visible african-american woman, have really shaken up the map on when you look at blue and red state

i think when stacey abrams endorsed manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute. >> there randomly throwing staey abrams' name into something that manchin has been working on for potentially months? >> we don't have enough time in this show to unpack everything in that statement. first of all, throwing out stacy abrams' name was clearly a bull horn to the republican party about the fact that black folks need a compromise. but put it into perspective. this compromise was dead on arrival. at the end of the day, it is not just voter i.d., but if we look at some of the things that they are -- that he recommended, it is really about what goes to the heart of the republican party which is states' rights. mitch mcconnell is clear that the feds did not need to be in the business of protecting voting rights. that should be left at the state level. and what they did, what he did in his compromise, that he would weaken the department of justice authority to be in the middle of these voting rights. we know that the biden administration just as they were doubling the lawyers in the vot

stacey abrams is well-known and loved and credited with helping turn georgia into joe biden's columnthe 2020 election and getting the two democratic senators over the hurdle in january in the special elections. and yet she is reviled by the sket base, by the republican party seen as activist, seen as threatening to the status quo for republicans and to former president trump in particular and i think blunt was trying to have something of a dog whistle there to conservative republican voters out in the country in explaining why the republican senators appear to be united in trying to resist and oppose this voting legislation. >> lisa, i have one for you. this reminder of how popular obamacare was with the last president. just a reminer. we'll discuss on the other side. >> somebody said what's the first thing you are going to do? working immediately on repealing obamacare. the problem with obamacare is not good. i want to give great health care. obamacare is a disaster. we want to terminate it. cancel that obamacare if we can win the case. >> solis sa, we are still waiting on thattal t

there is no fighter more fierce than stacey abrams for voting rights in this country right now.er she was, i think, unfairly denied the governship of georgia in 2018, after her opponent, secretary of state, encouraged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, purged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, she didn't gave up and got out there and continued to register people to vote, for voting rights, for everybody, for republicans and democrats and independents and help bring georgia into a true democracy, now threatened by the voter suppression laws signed by the man who beat her unfairly in 2018. so i think she more than anyone i know is helping to bring this issue to a head, and ensure that we pass the for the people act. she is encouraging all of us to call our u.s. senators, and apply that pressure that conforms some political will in that chamber, so that they actually get this done. i'm grateful that senator manchin is back to the table. i'm glad that he is talking to his colleagues. i'm hopeful that that produces a positive vote on tuesday and it ultimatel

i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams' substitute, not the joe manchin's substitute. >> reporter: mcconnell saying he thinks it contains the same rotten core as did the original for the people act. the difference between this and infrastructure couldn't be broader. this is an issue in which republicans fundamentally believe there's not a role for the federal government to tell states how to run their elections or to change how the fec functions or how candidates raise and spend money in their elections. it's not as though there's a middle ground here on which they could agree for a federal government role. this is something where democrats and republicans are just starkly divided. the tactical victory for democrats is when this bill comes up next week for a vote and it gets defeated, as it almost certainly will, on a 50/50 split, they will at least be able to say, it's the republicans who don't want do this. a long way from any federal election overhaul becoming law. >> garrett haake on the hill. mike memoli at 160

i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin it became the stacey abramshat a way to undermine an interesting idea. joe manchin faced a lot of criticism. he came up with a compromise republicans might support. not joe manchin's idea, it's stacy abrams and hence republicans can't support that. >> yeah, if we are looking for republicans to support an effort that would make it much harder for them to do what they're doing in statehouses all across this country, we're just being very naive about the political landscape. and to our democracy's detriment. yes, stacey abrams, if she didn't endorse it, it would be a sign they don't want bipartisan ship, if she did endorse it, it's a sign it's a bill republicans can't support. republicans are not willing to support efforts to strengthen the vote. this is clear. we can see this by their voting patterns, what they are doing in georgia where they are removing democrats and people of color from election boards, where they are making it easier to overturn election results. we shouldn't be surprised by this, but we certa

stacey abrams one of the most active democrats on the issue of voting rights, says i'm willing to go with this. she says let's try to make this work. this is roy blunt. >> i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> so a white guy with gray hair is for it, we'll think about it, but once a black woman says it's okay, it's no good? that's -- >> yeah, i mean, the -- >> really just like takes the, you know, takes the cover off, like you see exactly what's inside, which is that there is no serious interest among republicans to deal with anything involving what you might call voting rights. and it was so interesting to hear mcconnell saying, this is a -- you know, a solution in search of a problem, which is literally what republicans across the country are doing by passing voter laws in search of fraud. they are searching for fraud where there is none. they are not interested in going down this road. and yes, actually stacey abrams saying let's talk about it, basically poisons

you have republicans calling this the stacey abrams compromise. to manchin's point here, what progressive democrats are pushing back on him about bipartisanship, you have 14 states that have already passed bills, now laws, that are restricting access to voting. they're doing that without any democratic support. these are all republicans in these states pushing this forward. progressive democrats will push that back at manchin and say why are we waiting? why don't we just act? >> manchin comes from one of the reddest states, west virginia. you have a lot of democrats who say when are you going to use some of your leverage against republicans? >> the big story here is mcconnell. mcconnell stiffed him on the january 6th commission. then he tells all republicans to throw love bombs at manchin. manchin barely finishes his sentence about his compromise proposal and mcconnell swats it away. i think he keeps pushing manchin into the democratic fold. >> can he push him far enough? >> mcconnell is not listening to mcconnell's advice. he's flipped on it. i'l

after stacey abrams endorsed it. after joe manchin said about and good faith tailoring it down and working out negotiation. the abrams enforcement immediately led to republicans running away from it. in fact, this is how republican senator of missouri explained it. >> well we all i think every one of us looks for opportunities to work with senator manchin and we found these opportunities. i actually think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> oh well that's interesting. that's a very interesting thing to say. joe manchin was actually the one who crafted, it joe mention the guy who won the state the trump won the most conservative member of the democratic caucus but it's weird that you would attach it by name to stacey abrams did not show mention who actually rode it just because she went on tv and said fine this is okay. so again, second time in a month just like the january 6th commission right? democrats came to

i think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> that's interesting thing to say. joe manchin was the one who crafted it, joe manchin who won in the state that trump won, the most conservative member of the democratic caucus, but it's weird you would attach it by name to stacey abrams and not joe manchin because she said fine, this is okay. so again, second time in a month, just like the january 6th commission, democrats came to the table, they went through what appeared genuine motions of negotiation. joe manchin try today do the bipartisan thing. even before that, we knew what the republican answer would be. right? and if you're sitting at home saying, yes, chris, yes, you're right. this has been maddening to watch, i don't disagree because the core question of american politics right now, everything revolves around this, is this, will the democratic party, one of two viable coalitions in america, use the power entrusted to them by a majority of americans, a majority of americans who

stacey abrams said good things about the bill, calling it a critical step forward. it makes sense.'s negotiating with somebody who hadn't said what he wants. she said, this is a good start. here is what mitch mcconnell said after -- it's two seconds after she said it sounds like a framework we can start with. >> a revised version produced by one of the democrats yesterday, which has been endorsed by stacey abrams, in what is an extraordinarily dubious constitutionality would remove redistricting from state legislatures and hand it over to computers. equally unacceptable. totally inappropriate. all republicans i think will oppose that as well. >> let's be clear, it doesn't matter what stacey abrams would have said. if she said the bill -- the idea is terrible, he would have said, that's why i don't like it. there's nothing -- it's not about her. this is about him. is there any point to having bipartisan conversations about voting rights when you just heard mitch mcconnell say, you will get zero republican votes? >> i think that's just a challenge that joe manchin is happy to accept.

. >> he's -- >> let's listen to stacey abrams. >> absolutely. what senator manchin is putting forward is basic building blocks we need to ensure, and democracy is accessible no matter your geography. >> does this make progress? >> i think it's very significant that stacey abrams is coming out and saying this and you are hearing other democrats saying let's play ball with making some changes to the john lewis voting rights act and senate 1 bill that is much broader and deals with anti-corruption issues. i do think progressives are, you know, under the microscope here, and many are not okay with watering down on infrastructure and vettingoting rights. in the house, democrats have five votes to play with unless they get republicans onboard and it makes it a very tricky discussion. you are also hearing from democrats, yeah, joe manchin is for all these things, and you heard mitch mcconnell he's not particularly interested in allowing any of his members to go forward and vote for any voting rights bill, and it calls into question whether it is true t

i give stacey abrams credit, and this should be something that can get republican support.why we either need to do away with the filibuster or create a voting rights exception to the filibuster so that we can get this through. it doesn't have to be the whole hr-1 or the campaign finance reforms that i support. let's at least get what they agree on through the united states senate. >> the senate minority leader -- does it give you hope that they will -- >> they demonize women of color and target a woman of color and that's not going to work because in this case you'll have joe manchin -- i don't think there's a person in this country who doesn't think joe manchin's proposals are reasonable and his proposals are the same ones stacey abrams is talking about. most people will talk about that and most people see that as reasonable. >> bottom line. how much trouble does president biden face now in getting his domestic agenda passed, not only in the house but in the senate? >> i think we'll get something on infrastructure. it may not be $6 trillion, but we'll get something with st

and stacey abrams on this show endorsed it as a compromise.sri vealing and telling, which is joe manchin gave republican as lot of what they wanted including voter i.d. which you raised concerns about. then mitch mcconnell stands up and says no way, no how, not anything. what does that tell you? >> that's the obstruction so many americans are frustrated with. we say we can't get things done because we need do things in a spirit of bipartisanship. and when you see compromise, you see a proposal put forward that even stacey abrams, if she can get behind that but mitch mcconnell can't, what is the obstruction really about? you know, 14 house republicans who voted against juneteenth, what is that about? why wouldn't you want to celebrate the america that actually represents freedom since you claim that, you know, black people and minorities were so divisive by focusing on slavery, you have a moment where we focus on freedom and people can't get behind it. so there's an agenda that unfortunately is bigger than democracy, and i don't think that's ac

like georgia where stacey abrams has been working on this issue for years. tonight she joined our first guest beto o'rourke on instagram and made the point that the republican attack on voting rights is an attack on every voter in every state. >> we've got to amplify this so this is a national conversation. they are successful when they convince us it is parochial, only happening to some people. it's only happening in the south. it's only happening to black people. no. this is happening to all of us. we all have to be heard. we are the power. it is not hyperbole. this is not idealism. we have to create such a clamor that to do otherwise, to do anything other than save our democracy from these to use your word pernicious laws is to do a disservice to our country. >> you're so right to point out the effect and the outcome and who ultimately is targeted and who ultimately will pay the price in our democracy. in texas it's black voters, voters of color. it's young voters. it's the very old, those who live in big cities. and i think you also made a great point it

joe biden, stacey abrams, they've cost georgia and georgia businesses an estimated $100 million just by losing the all-star game alone. luckily for joe, stacy, raphael, we have tape of them and by the way, we are happy to refresh the memories. take a look. >> redux of a failed system that's designed to both scare people out of voting and make it harder for those who are willing to push through and make it harder for them to vote. >> did give me a list of the provisions that you objected. >> it shortened the federal runoff. mack it restricts the time of voter to regroup and reform. some sort of identification for them to surrender to participate in absentee ballot process. that's one of the fallacies in republican talking points is deeply disturbing no one's objected to having to prove who you are to vote and it's been part of the nation's history since the inception of owning. >> sean: abrams now saying she's even backing democrat senator joe manchin and the voting compromise that it's actually reportedly would be similar to george's voting log reform that abrams and civic of joe bid

stacey abrams says she is open to manchin's proposal, even the voter i.d. aspect. >> what senator manchin is putting forward are basic building blocks we need to ensure that democracy is accessible, no matter your geography. our point is that the restrictions on the forms of i.d. should meet the needs of the people. and what he is proposing makes sense. >> how big of a deal is that, what stacey abrams is saying, toluse? >> it is a big deal to have someone who has been at the forefront of the voting rights battle on the same page with joe manchin, who just a couple of weeks ago came out against the democrats lead voting rights bill. he's proposed something he sees as a compromise and the fact that he has a wide swath of democrats on board, they're pushing something to stop this onslaught of voting rights restrictions in the states. if they can't get republicans on board, it's a nice thing to have democratic unity, but you still need 60 votes and it's going to be hard to get beyond the 50. just to get 50 votes on something as contentious as voting rights is a

raffensperger literally named stacey abrams in his statement. you heard her become the face of this new republican effort. what do you want to see from democrats to help stop these draconian efforts to keep us from the ballot box? >> you know, when you hear the statements, one, happy juneteenth. but when you hear the statements, what you know is that they have no real intention to pass anything that at best they want to be obstructionists and because of that we absolutely have to -- we have to appeal the filibuster. there's no way around it. it would be no version of that bill that the republicans would actually support. they haven't even presented anything that really would deal with the voter suppression. why? they're leading voter suppression. i think that what we have to do is killy filibuster and we have to pass hr 1 and hr 4. we need if anything, if we saw what happened in georgia yesterday, now in the midst of 100,000 voters getting ready to be dropped from the voter rolls. that's why we need the for the people act. we need the john lewis

how big of a deal is it that stacey abrams is behind manchin's changes here, including voter i.d.? >> i'd say it's significant. i'm curious what other democrats on capitol hill say, particularly progressives who are really concerned about voter i.d. requirements nationwide. i mean, the interesting thing about manchin's bill is, yes, it would -- this compromise. a much narrower bill than what democrats and president biden initially wanted to pass. it would expand early voting. but when it comes to voter i.d.s, and there are democrats who are concerned that is hindrance from some minorities who might not have them to show them at, you know, voter rolls, it seems to be giving republicans something that they want, but also doing a thing that the party in general really wants, and that is expanding early i.d., making sure other people can vote early. so i mean, look. this is a tough issue on capitol hill. lauren was exactly right when she said you need 60. and this is, you know, a far shot from that. at least so far. i think you might pick up a couple republicans with this proposal, but

what stacey abrams said here is important is democratic unity. that comes down in this case to joe manchin. >> manchin has talked about bringing republicans in. >> right. >> they will come around. and yet here you see his proposal is getting panned. i wonder what the road forward is for joe manchin in this issue and other issues as well. >> there's a big -- if he's going to promise that he's a guy who has to be listened to because he can bring some things around, bring republicans around, this is going to be the testing ground. mcconnell doesn't sound like he's ready to do business with joe manchin because there's enough -- look, this is an area, like what we talked about before, around what's taught in schools. voting rights. this is an animating issue, and unfortunately, so perversely on the right because they are saying that basically the deck is stacked against you, and that it's unfair when, in fact, voting rights is really about republicans saying this is a zero-sum game. if there's more people of color voting we'll lose as republicans. but

he's brought leading progressives, stacey abrams, barack obama with him. and now do you say, since the republicans don't want the big package do we serve up a bill that takes out the things they supposedly don't want? >> right. >> we'll see how that plays out. i think joe has worked this to his advantage at the moment. the question is whether the democratic party has the political strategy on the back end to close the deal. that gets into filibuster and other things, joe. >> it does. but you know, mike barnicle we've said here from the beginning on voting, joe manchin has reversed engineered this, we don't know how but he has. we're moving closer and closer to this is a great compromise position. and then, you know, we heard last week the idea floated, okay. they went from 67 for a filibuster to 60 for a filibuster. maybe they go to 55 for a filibuster. this voting rights bill is going to pass. it's just republicans can figure out how painful they want it to be, but it's going to pass. manchin has figured that out. >> help me out here, all of you are in wa
