WE SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
80% OF THE VOTE COUNTED.
KELLYANNE CONWAY JOINS ME NOW.
SIZE IT UP.
WHAT DID LAST NIGHT TELL YOU
TODAY?
>> WE LEARNED SO MUCH HEADING
INTO THE FALL LAST NIGHT, BILL.
NOT LEAST OF WHICH IS THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR
IN KANSAS AND THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE FOR SENATE IN MISSOURI
ARE THE SYNTH ATTORNEYS GENERAL.
IT IS IMPORTANT.
CRIME AND SAFETY WILL CONTINUE
TO BE BIG ISSUES TO VOTERS
RIGHT, LEFT AND CENTER.
THEY SEE THE RISE IN CRIME IN
CITIES AND SEE THE FENTANYL
POURING OVER THE BORDER AND
THEY WANT SOMEONE REPRESENTING
THEM IN WASHINGTON WHO IS GOING
TO, OF COURSE, MEET THE
CHALLENGE.
THE OTHER THING THAT’S GOING ON
IN MICHIGAN AND KANSAS.
OF COURSE IN ARIZONA REGARDLESS
OF WHICH WOMAN EMERGES AS THE
NOMINEE THERE WE SEE THIS
CONTINUING TREND, BILL, OF
CANDIDATES OF COLOR AND FEMALE
CANDIDATES RUNNING AND WINNING
AS REPUBLICANS IN MICHIGAN YOU
HAVE JOHN GIBBS, MY FORMER
COLLEAGUE IN ADMINISTRATION.
HE SERVED IN THE OPIOIDS
CABINET A RAN.
A GREAT MEMBER OF OUR
ADMINISTRATION BEATING PETE
MEIJER THE FRESHMAN.
YOU HAVE JOHN JAMES AND AMANDA
ATKINS AND A FEMALE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE AS GOVERNOR.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
FOR A FEW REASONS.
IN 2020 EVEN THOUGH JOE BIDEN
BECAME THE PRESIDENT, YOU HAD
NO REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT LOSING
HIS OR HER SEAT.
OF THE 15 BLUE TO RED CHANGES
IN THE HOUSE 11 WERE TAKEN BY
WOMEN AND ALL 15 WERE TAKEN BY
A CANDIDATE OF COLOR, FEMALE,
VETERAN OR SOME COMBINATION
THERE OF.
THAT CONTINUES.
LAST POINT.
WE SEE THIS CONTINUING TREND
STARTING FROM 2016 WHERE
HILLARY CLINTON WON THE
HISPANIC VOTE.
IN 2020 JOE BIDEN WON.
A 17 POINT DECREASE.
NOW THE DEMOCRATS IF YOU LOOK
AT ALL THE POLLING IN THESE
PRIMARIES SO FAR THE ONLY READ
12 OR 13%.
NOT JUST THAT REPUBLICANS
CONTINUE TO WIN HISPANIC VOTERS
BUT WINNING WITH HISPANIC
CANDIDATES.
BUT THAT’S A HUGE TREND GOING.
IN LAST POINT ABOUT PETE MEIJER.
HE IS A FRESHMAN MEMBER.
HE WAS ONE OF THE 10 WHO VOTED
TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT TRUMP BUT
ALSO VOTED FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND GUN
CONTROL BILL AND ALSO VOTED TO
APPROVE OF THE JANUARY 6th
COMMITTEE FORMATION.
HERE IS SOMEONE WHO KEPT
STICKING HIS FINGER IN THE EYE
OF MANY CONSTITUENTS WHO PUT
HIM THERE.
HE WON THE SEAT AS A
CONSERVATIVE AMERICA FIRST
REPUBLICAN AND THEN DIDN’T VOTE
THAT WAY.
>> Bill: THREE OF THE 10 ARE
STILL ALIVE OF THOSE HOUSE
REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED TO
IMPEACH.
ON ABORTION IN KANSAS.
THEY OVERWHELMINGLY VOTE TO
PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS IN
THEIR CONSTITUTION.
60% SAY NO.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU COMING
ON THE HEELS OF ROE V. WADE IN
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND WHAT
IT PORTENDS FOR OTHER STATES?
>> FIRST, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THE DOBBS DECISION DESIGNED THE
NEXT STEPS TO BE.
KICK IT BACK TO THE STATES AND
LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
IN KANSAS THEY SPOKE VERY
LOUDLY BASED ON THE LANGUAGE OF
THAT PARTICULAR INITIATIVE THAT
WAS BEFORE THEM.
SECONDLY, IT MAY BE TOO SOON.
EMOTIONS ARE RAW, CONFUSION IS
DEEP.
YOU SEE THAT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD, I READ LAST WEEK
HAD A 40-FOLD INCREASE IN
DONATIONS AFTER THE DOBBS
DECISION.
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE’VE
GONE FROM ALL ABORTION
ANYWHERE, ANY TIME, ANYWHERE TO
NOTHING IN SOME OF THESE STATES.
IT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO SOON FOR
THAT.
I WOULD POINT OUT TO YOU
EVERYBODY INCLUDING OTHER
NETWORKS LOWER RATED NETWORKS
LOVE TO SAY TODAY KANSAS IS A
CONSERVATIVE, RED STATE.
THAT’S TRUE AND IT IS NOT SO
TRUE.
I DON’T REALLY LIKE WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT STATES THAT WAY.
IN THIS CASE THEY HAVE A FEMALE
PRO-CHOICE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
UP FOR REELECTION AND SHE WON
WITH LESS THAN 50% OF THE VOTE
BUT THE GOVERNOR THERE.
I THINK WHEN WE JUST LOOK AT
ONE STATE AS RED OR BLUE,
PRO-LIFE OR PRO-CHOICE WE
AREN’T RESPECTING THE DIVERSITY
OF OPINION LET ALONE THE
POPULATION IN THE DIFFERENT
STATES.
MAYBE IS A LITTLE TOO SOON FOR
SOME VOTERS TO BE GOING TO THE
BALLOT BOX AND SAYING NO TO
ABORTION.
>> Bill: SNAP ANALYSIS THIS
MORNING.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON TODAY.
