Chris Hayes

because of stuff like this, because you have biased political actors setting the terms of engagement in and out, right, off and on, and can at a whim decide you get to play or you don't get to play, how you get to play.

But this is something, this opens up a door for conversations downstream.

In this moment though, I think to both Simone's and Chris's point,

I don't care who her campaign manager is.

I don't care who his campaign manager is.

This is a principle to principle conversation.

This is what both of them between the candidates, they get on the phone and go every vote to your point, which is core, a core tenet.

of what Democrats believe.

If you cast a ballot, damn it, it will get counted, right?

And so it doesn't matter if you were in line at 7 o'clock this morning or 7 p.m.

this evening, if it's extended and my sister, my cousin, your uncle shows up at 7.30, that vote gets counted.

That's the case they need to make to your point of avoiding the conspiracy nonsense, the two of them.

This has nothing to do with the outcome.

This has everything to do with every vote getting counted.

And so that's the conversation I like to see the two principals have.

Get off your high horses, stop being the candidate, and be the next U.S.

senator in this moment.

There's 12 points, 13 points that Wesley Hunt has as of right now, and that's what this next stage is going to be about.

I just I'm just amused by the thinking here, because in the midst of all of this about Ken Paxton and Trump, you have in a congressional district one representative Gonzalez.

Yeah.
