now, one of the main priorities that governor whitmer plans to get done with that majority is repealing would follow the victory for abortion rights won in november when michigan voters approved a constitutional amendment, creating the right to reproductive freedom. and of course, the reason that abortion was such a driving issue in the midterms in michigan, and across the country, it's because donald trump and the republican parties successful efforts to overturn roe v. wade made it so. now, even the ex president admits, as he wrote in a fake tweet over the weekend, quote, it was the abortion issue, poorly handled by many republicans that lost a large numbers of voters. and abortion was not the only issue that contributed to trump and his party giving away the midterm elections. there was also election denialism, which helped propel democrat katie hobbs to victory in arizona over trump endorsed big lie proponent kari lake. and this morning, hobbs was officially sworn in as arizona's fifth female governor, fifth female governor. just one week after an arizona judge rejected blake's last

the third thing is that the party itself, you look up and down, gretchen whitmer, gavin newsom, to westmore, raphael warnock, i mean you and i have been doing this a long time. this is as strong a party as we've probably seen in our lifetime. so i've come away from this election thinking the democratic party is really strong, and the republicans still are all full of maga. and they've got a great problem heading into 2024. >> why wouldn't the republicans be able to immediately catch up on early voting just by telling people to vote early? >> well, it's not that simple. right? as the senator said, you have to contact people many times. we have large, developed field organizations. you grew up in the democratic side, you know a lot of us, including me, i got my start as a field organizer. republicans have more regular voters. they don't have to work as hard to get their people to vote. and yes, they will be able to tell people, but it's a shift in the way the party operates, the way their campaigns operate. they don't have heavily funded campaigns. most of their money is in these outside grou

you know, with governor whitmer, what was happening with her kidnapping, i think it's something that'shan just here in the state of new mexico. the rhetoric has to stop. you know, with what happened with us in my home, it's just disheartening. angry, very anger that i felt and on occasion, it's still riles me just think about how close this could have had a serious injury to emily. but ultimately, when i think what it comes down to is that this country needs to really take a look at itself internally. the insurrection that happened, all of the other problems that are arising, the violence that's there, we have to look at ourselves and figure out what road are we going to take? and what this incident has actually brought me is to a whole different juncture as to what do we need to do here in my state of new mexico? what conversations do we need to have? how do we work with the other side of the aisle, but even amongst ourselves in community in figuring out, what is it that's acceptable? violence is not acceptable. the democracy that i've participated in during my tenure again here in ne

governor whitmer recently announced his husband is closing up his dental practice a ears earlier thanned to retire. although she gets a protective detail, he doesn't. he received death threats to himself and his patients. he is deciding to close up shop. that is a high price to pay for public service. i worry that it is going to target people from serving a elected leaders. >> yes. it is heartbreaking. somebody has to wrap up their dental practice. barbara, i want to stay with you. what responsibility do you think political parties, mainly republicans, what responsibility do they have cab to call this out? >> i think that there are a couple of ways to reduce violence. you want to stop it from happening in the first place. when you have people stoking violence, you might not know who, when, why. but you know that someone is going to take the bait. there's actually a term for that and terrorism. that is when somebody issues -- they say horrific things about a target. you know that other people are going to be mobilized to attack. that is called radicalization. when you say things about

is where house and senate democrats can go into as well, as well as governors like -- or gretchen whitmer in michigan, or josh perot in pennsylvania is that you can start to use those chief executives, those state leaders to also bang the drum about why democratic leadership is doing well economically and politically, and frankly reducing the insanity which -- the maga piece of this should not be underestimated. they want the chaos, this is what they look for. they do not care. what kind of group has any serious bone in its body's says we are going to charge people 30% more on their lives, because a lot of folks that this would affect are probably paying federal income tax. but you are paying into social security and medicare, which we are also going to catch. so you are basically, stephanie, what they want to do is create a permanent economic underclass which i think is not very popular with anybody. >> tara, i'm watching republican and after republican on tv saying that we have to cut this wild spending, time circuits, cuts, cuts. what specifically do they want to cut? because i've yet

and also who could forget would be kidnappers that conspired to kidnap gretchen whitmer in 2020. something i spoke to her about just recently. >> i'm an ordinary person. i have an extraordinary job. i have served in extraordinary times. i'm a mom, i'm a daughter. i'm an average person who is trying to serve my state. >> also maine senator susan collins said she's been receiving threats for years. she had her windows smashed and had this warning saying she wouldn't be surprised if a senator or house member was killed. what started with an abusive phone call translated into active threats of violence and real violence. >>> and this morning, police say former new mexico state house candidate salman pena visited the homes of two democratic leaders before their homes were shot at. ring doorbell footage captured him at a home prior to the attack. watch this. >> hello. >> my name is solman pen yya. can i speak with debbie o'malley. >> she doesn't live here. >> the public records said she owns it. she lives around the corner bleep -- >> thank you, sorry for bothering you. >> brazen there

on saturday, democratic incumbent governor gretchen whitmer was sworn into her second term as the governor0 years that a democratic governor will lead that key swing state with a a democratic controlled legislature. cnn anchor katelyn conns traveled to michigan to talk to whit ner hours before she took the oath. you talked about the plot against her and also about her political future. >> you spent your new year's somewhere fun, i was in lansing. i went to her house, she was just getting up, her two daughters, her sister, her husband. it was this remarkable moment not only because of what has happened in michigan politically speaking, this is the first time since the 1980s that democrats have had this majority, but it was her first interview since we found out about the sentencings for these two men who basically led the plot to kidnap her. which she doesn't like that it's called a kidnapping plot. she thinks it should be referred to as an assassination plot. she compared it to justice brett kavanaugh, but she said essentially it is really personal because she thinks of herself as an ordin

gretchen whitmer is trading headline otherwise speakership decades later. it's a big job.kevin mccarthy filling it yet? >> absolutely not. it took him 15 votes in order to be confirmed as speaker and has to make a lot of concessions with the freedom caucus or i like to call the maga caucus in order to get there. he has weakened himself and the republican party and it's interesting because, you know, folks like to talk about, well, donald trump is gone but this is still the donald trump party and therefore kevin mccarthy is going to have to govern with these people who have literally said we don't trust you, we want to make concessions and unfortunately the american people are not confident that we will get anyone done with something like this in the speaker's office. >> yeah, and there's an effort under way to try to get on to the governing. you fix the committees. you hold some votes and move towards that but, you know, there are folks who say the media environment of any era will, of course, intersect with or drive the politics. and then there's a kind of subgenre of rig

. >> in the governor's race, democratic encumbent governor gretchen whitmer has been re-elected. >> tonight loud and clear. you made me the first woman ever elected to be the governor of the state of new york. >> republican encumbent governor is projected to have been re-elected as the governor of alabama. >> i know it will be the honor of a lifetime to serve as arkansas '47th governor and the first female governor the state after arkansas has ever had. >> this is a big deal. some of the results suggest that voters' attitudes are continuing to shift. some states are putting a woman at the helm for the first time, that includes oregon and massachusetts, which elected the first gay women as the state's governors. the prior record was nine women governors ruling or governing at one time. every state holds equal weight, but these women leaders are at the helm of states where more people live. many countries of course have already chosen owe elected women heads of state. because of the electoral college, the u.s. has not hit that milestone, although we should remember, more voters backed a woman

all have done already, we have a real chance to not only keep those women in michigan at the top, whitmerople majority in most the house and senate. so it was a rallying cry that resonated with and clearly showed up. i think the abortion rights issue and how much extremism we were facing after the overturn of roe also really motivated people, but folks in michigan had done the work already, laid the ground work. >> so representative, we're running over on time, but given that i have these two michiganders here, do you want to show me on your hand map where your district is? >> born in flint, but i li here. >> michael, keep it up. >> i live in betsy's district, and so we're also excited about her election, and it's a very -- it's been in the past -- i lived in the county next to betsy's, deep red district, but in november, this november for the first time ever, there are three townships that voted for the democrat for governor, for gret. never happened before. >> do i have your mitten? >> yes, can't leave out the u.p. >> don't sleep on the upper peninsula. >> don't ever sleep on yoopers. i

a man outside of congresswoman jayapal's home, justice cavanaugh and governor whitmer.re we seeing more of these radical, political crimes? >> you have these chat groups, message boards, they're bringing groups of what would be small numbers of people in to kind of larger crowds through the internet where they're stoking these fears that elections are being stolen, that fraud is rampant, something has to be done. but when you look at the climate the way it's going, 2018, 5,000 threats to members of congress. 2021, that's 10,000. it doubled over that period. 2022, rounding 18, headed to 2,000, not even through the first quarter. you see the pitch and tone of this dialog is becoming more violent. that's some stats from the federal side. if you take that down to the state side, you've got election workers in georgia who have been threatened publicly and named. you have secretaries of state who are living in fear. you have, in kansas, a door-to-door operation, not election workers, where voters were being door knocked to say do you really live here, how did you vote in the

even governor gretchen whitmer has said that these are high priority for her. personally that religious leaders in michigan are joining forces to push the state legislature to enact sensible gun laws that will keep churchgoers safe. what can you tell us about these efforts? >> well, that they are underway. and that there is a lot of excitement about finally, at long last, having the opportunity to pass these common sense gun laws that will help protect the residents of our state. these are enormously popular proposed legislations. so many people in our state, both democrats and republicans and independents of course as well, want to see these laws and acted. so, what i can tell you. with a legislatures are actively working on those laws as we speak. and i think we are going to see the introduction of them shortly. and i believe that they are going to pass because, here's why. we know that they. work they are impactful, they are effective, they are going to bring down gun deaths and gun violence in our states. and that is why all of us won our elections who beli

years, ten years, and we have got an excellent caucus, we have got incredible partner in governor whitmer, so we are very optimistic that we will be able to make a difference. really, in many cases, offset the negative impact of the unknown creativity of the congress at this time. >> can i just ask you one more question, in terms of how democrats got to power, in michigan there was an independent redistricting commission. and that wasn't 2021, it created competitive maps. and the end result is that democrats have taken over. democrats have won the trifecta. what should we read into that? should there be more independent commissions? should we take gerrymandering off of the table? should we allow independent bodies to decide the congressional maps, to decide the state maps, and what does that say about the republican party? >> we should absolutely have more independent redistricting commissions and every state. it works very effectively here. we now have a legislator that looks like our state, not just in terms of party affiliation, but also in terms of diversity. that was made possible in
