over five terms as the united states senate? well, frankly, it wasn't as difficult for me as i think it is today for a lot of people, because you know, in new mexico, you were a small state. no, you know, people in the state are low. you know, by the time i was in my fifth term, i felt pretty comfortable. pretty comfortable. yeah. you know, i felt pretty good. after you beat harrison schmitt in the first round, the former astronaut. well yeah, but who did you run against the second term? second term? nobody was third term. nobody. fourth term, nobody no, no, no. there were some real candidates in there, bill valentine, i think, was the second. well, i mean, you you i don't remember him. yeah, no, no, i do. he was in the state senate. he was bill there capable and and colin mcmillan, who was republican leader here in our state senate, he he ran against me in 94, and that was the most campaign that i other ten points i know i beat him by. yeah. eight or ten or something like that. okay. so it wasn't it wouldn't. so a senator from c

former united states senator jeff bingaman from new. 1983 to 2013. in the united states senate. what was it like making the transition from santa fe, new mexico attorney general of a little state of new mexico for four years? your first week in the united states senate? that's a that's a jump that's quite the step. yeah, it it is a jump. and frankly. the the senate a very welcoming place in 1983. at least that's the way it appeared to me. we had you know, reagan was in his middle of his first term, tip o'neill was speaker of the house howard baker was the republican leader in the republicans who were in the majority. i came to the senate and. howard baker was the majority senate leader and robert seabird was the leader of the democrats. and frankly, my impression that all of those that i mentioned and most other members of congress had a sense of being part of the governing process. they sort of shared shared some responsibility for how the country was doing. and and and and worked at it. and lots of disagree means lots of lots of things to fight. but that's sort of the nature of

supreme court overturned roe versus wade last summer, the south carolina state senate where republicans outnumber democrats nearly two to one blocked a ban on abortion in the state with limited exceptions for rape and incest. the five women senators, three of whom are republicans led a filibuster where they spoke for days about biology, backlash and the concept of control. >> once a woman became pregnant for any reason she would not become property of the state of south carolina. >> abortion laws have always been each and every one of them about control. >> in nebraska thursday, tears and cheers. after lawmakers killed a bill that would ban abortion around the sixth week of pregnancy, often before someone knows they are pregnant, a vote to break a filibuster failed by just one vote when two senators ab sta stained, one of them the bill's cosponsor said he'd done more research and offered an amendment moving the deadline to 12 weeks. that never got a vote. >> the six-week ban appears to be a winner take all position, and the pushback will be strong. it will be immediate, and it will be f

i am curious to get your perspective, though, on one of your state senators, lindsey graham. you noted this is an issue you would like to see decided by the states. he's promoting a nationwide, 15-week ban on abortion. >> yes. >> it's not exactly picking up a lot of steam, not exactly popular. it seems like you disagree with it. >> can you still hear me, sir? >> yeah, of course. i'm wondering if you -- >> do you still have audio? >> are you able to hear me? >> it sounds like you're breaking up, but i'll continue with the answer. >> sure. >> senator graham and others nationally, i've talked with some of my colleagues, especially my female colleagues, and we think it's a bad idea. if you are going to send the deci decision-making to the states, we need to do that. we need to legislate based on our states. this quasi-federal state government thing, we're getting to an area of problems, problematic for separation of the powers and separation of the different parts of government. so either the federal government is going to do this or not. i say stay out, stay away. we are handling

doesn't make sense, although you have to understand that this seat where the republican won the state senatefact, it was a republican seat until its sitting senator stepped down so effectively after the 2022 election, republicans had a supermajority. this isn't something new they had it. they lost it briefly they have now got it back. and it comes into kind of different perspective here because we have now had the change in the court. and where we have to be very conscious is that among all the issues that this court is likely to take up, and that's abortion rights, labor rights, all the business issues that court usually deal with, the one that may stand out most is addressing gerrymandering and if this court takes a gerrymandering case and says, you know, look, these maps are terrible they're rigged and janet protasiewicz said as a candidate. you'll see a lot of republican legislatures who are very scared because they only control that legislature because of gerrymandering their power extends from rigged maps if the court is going to unrig those maps, yeah, you'll see -- you will see a lot
