if stacy abrams wants to run for president she will do so and do really well.ve the most diverse pool of candidates we've ever had in history. we have the most diverse congress. we are heading in the right direction with our country but just because joe biden or bernie sanders is leading it doesn't mean democrats don't value diversity. >> tucker: why are the two leading candidates elderly rich white men? i'm using the same standard the democrats use all the time when they look at a picture and there are too many white people and "we hate white people." they are always mad about this. why not live by their own standards? >> joe biden has the most name recognition and experience. he was right there next to the first black president for eight years. we have the most diverse pool of candidates and history and we will see were the primary goes over the next couple of months. >> tucker: are you bothered? >> i am encouraged. what we are seeing from the party is more ideas, more candidates stepping up and candidates of color running for president. >> tucker: last quest

it gubernatorial candidate stacy abram says that she won her election.e told her audience "i'm here to tell you a secret that makes breitbart and tucker carlson go crazy." we won, she said. that's reassuring. "i know i am not the governor of georgia." whenever they tell you i'm not delusional, which is always with the guy on the bus tries to assure you of, it makes you wonder. in reality, she did lose that race by more than 50,000 votes. it's not a close margin. of the great irony in all of this is that the democrats say that trump can't accept election outcomes. nancy pelosi just told "the new york times" that she worries about whether he will accept the 2020 results of democrats won by a narrow margi margin. she recallsmb that she believed that "if we won by 1,000 votes each, he is not going to respect the election."

>> yeah, the interesting part is three of the dark horses i have here mike bloomberg, stacy abrams andt rod brown, they are not even in the race right now. mike bloomberg run several times and he's wait to go see how joe biden does, if you see joe biden falter, don't be surprised -- heather: already have 23 candidates. >> some people say 24 and then stacy abrams she's still out there. what's interesting among african americans the front runner overwhelming, preoverwhelmingly is joe biden. rust belt guy and some people say he might be able to get voters that trump got and governor of washington, he's made it all about the environment, and i look at tulsi gabbard, polling at 0% or 1%, he's a former veteran and she also is one of those people she's been attacked from the left in the democratic primaries. heather: starting to hear about her lately. a lot has to do with timing as well. >> she's very good on camera which is going to be interesting when you the debates coming up in a couple of weeks who shines, just like, again, donald trump came in those debates no matter where he was, where

stacy abrams would motivate african-american voters to turn out.look at something here quick. nonwhite voters how do you vote if it is biden versus trump, biden 60%, trump 17% and then you put up kamala harris and biden actually does better than kamala harris among nonwhite voters. why is that? >> i'm not sure why that is but i saw a similar polling california saying even mayor pete was winning over kamala harris. i love since the democrats putting a strategy together. funny to me if they know it is an appealed battle, it is all downhill from there. the dnc made their pic, their choice, they are going with biden. it is almost like pandering hoping the black voter will say a black person on the ticket, let's vote for them. i have to ask why the dnc or democrat officials not going with mayor pete? he seems to be moderate, right down the middle. nancy pelosi was talking about getting more moderate upfront but ignoring him completely. >> no offense to joe biden but i can't believe how popular he is among all these candidates. >> he is the name you know

rob: democratic candidate stacy abrams making the case for democrats to identity politics. >> i wouldprogress idea conference in washington where she falsely claimed that she won georgia's governor's race last year. the democrat saying she won because of identity politics. but shy lost actually that race, that governor's race to republican brian kemp by 55,000 voters. jillian: we asked if you thought this was the best direction for the democratic party. your comments have been pouring in on social media. alan said go ahead and keep on, it will only cost you another election and tweeting i really don't care where they go. show them out the door. that would be perfect. rob: joe says i love it. the looney left just keeps digging their hole deeper and deeper. there you have it. jillian: time for the good, the bad, and the ugly. we start with the good. a little girl with spine spina a stealing hearts. >> go aubrey. >> that's aubrey running first 50-meter race. the 7-year-old has no feeling below her knees and just started walking last year. look at that. rob: that is incredible. profession

shannon: adding stacy abrams to the ticket. >> i don't think she appreciates that.was what he talked about, she's like i'm not running for second place which i've i'm going to run i'm going to run for first place. shannon: what do you make of it? >> this is another case of democrats using a black person is a problem. beto o'rourke is one down 7 points in south carolina, mostly black voters looking for another chance, certainly disingenuous with a number of democrats continuing to do this on a day-to-day basis offering policy solutions that will be positively impactful for the black community. shannon: do you agree it needs to focus on policy instead of other conversations this early. let's talk what is going on between alexandria ocasio cortez, freshman congresswoman who say her endorsement will mean a lot in this huge 2020 democratic field and joe biden who is currently the front runner, she doesn't like his idea about a middle ground on climate change, this is a dealbreaker. there is no middle ground with climate denial and delay blaming blue-collar americans, gas

i've never seen anybody fact-checking stacy abrams on this issue. >> bret: you were just in iowa andok at those polls and in the early states, it's getting tighter. >> dan: it is not a surprise. and in a very interesting way, those numbers look like very much hillary clinton numbers and 2007 at this point. big lead in the national numbers. very tight in iowa in particular but not so tight and new hampshire at that point. i think it is understandable that the vice president former vice president did get a bump from naturally his end of the race. naturally come artificial as we have seen these go up and down before. but i think the competition in iowa and new hampshire will be very, very fierce. if you look at that, one thing, bernie sanders numbers way down from what he got both of those states in 2016 when he was against hillary clinton. so there is tension between those two cocampaigns already and opportunities for others. it will be a battle out they are. >> bret: do the gloves come off? so far they haven't and it's early. you will get in debates in a month. >> you can already star

detailed policy and the politics at times personnel can be policy, senator booker, senator harris, stacy abrams, former minority leader in georgia, could you commit to having a person of color on the ticket if you are a democratic nominee? >> i believe it's appropriate to say something that would rule someone in or rule someone out. >> why the inappropriate? >> it's the first presidential decision you make even though you president. i don't thank you make it in a political process a year in advance. you are making a decision that in the event that you get elected is a decision about american [inaudible]. the main criteria is who will be best able to be president in the event your killed or incapacitated. having said that and bleeding their many people in my party who made that test i think it is appropriate for me to say as i said personnel is policy and that it's important especially in these times that the next administration be the most gender balanced and racially diverse ever. that you would see that reflected in all my decisions, also inflecting my running mate. >> whether personal color,

stacy abrams in georgia, not running for the senate there. still states becoming more competitive. carolina was close in 2016 so democrats would hope, you know, they could maybe make off one of these for the presidential election and maybe flip a seat. kentucky, kansas, iowa, they have yet to come up with a candidate there. three plus the president's seat would get them the senate. >> steve, thank you. i want to bring in a man who certainly knows how to run a race, chris wilson, ceo of wpa intelligence who's worked as a republican political strategist for years. how do you see the state of play in terms of senate races? i spoke to someone from austin, texas who said they love beto o'rourke but they wish he would stay in the state and run for senate and actually make a difference there. >> much of the focus has been on the presidential campaign, and that's taken away from democrats' recruiting hopes for president. beto o'rourke, joaquin castro, could have made it more competitive. colorado, governor hickenlooper could make that a strong race,
