CNN Panel Led By Host Brianna Keilar Panics Over So-Called ‘Election Deniers’ Potentially Winning Elections

KEILAR So when we ░░░░░░░░ at who is on ░░░░░░░░ ballots here across the ░░░░░░░░ there are a large ░░░░░░░░ of election deniers right ░░░░░░░░ CNN found at least ░░░░░░░░ candidates for governor 19 ░░░░░░░░ Senate 12 for secretary ░░░░░░░░ state 10 candidates for ░░░░░░░░ general who have either ░░░░░░░░ the results or cast ░░░░░░░░ about the results of ░░░░░░░░ 2020 presidential election So ░░░░░░░░ are the implications of ░░░░░░░░ Ron BROWNSTEIN This is ░░░░░░░░ to be the most ░░░░░░░░ long term implication of ░░░░░░░░ election We re talking ░░░░░░░░ it in normal partisan ░░░░░░░░ and how many seats ░░░░░░░░ lose in the House ░░░░░░░░ Republicans take control of ░░░░░░░░ Congress I think what ░░░░░░░░ will remember of this ░░░░░░░░ is that it provided ░░░░░░░░ beachhead inside the electoral ░░░░░░░░ to a large number ░░░░░░░░ candidates who are untethered ░░░░░░░░ the traditions of American ░░░░░░░░ as we have known ░░░░░░░░ And it is going ░░░░░░░░ take us into an ░░░░░░░░ no one can say ░░░░░░░░ what it s going ░░░░░░░░ mean in Arizona or ░░░░░░░░ if full scale election ░░░░░░░░ are in control of ░░░░░░░░ election machinery in the ░░░░░░░░ half dozen states that ░░░░░░░░ to decide everything for ░░░░░░░░ country get to decide ░░░░░░░░ control get to decide ░░░░░░░░ control But the odds ░░░░░░░░ high that this is ░░░░░░░░ to lead to some ░░░░░░░░ of crisis sooner than ░░░░░░░░ KEILAR Kristen how are ░░░░░░░░ who want traditionally Republican ░░░░░░░░ in place but are ░░░░░░░░ fans of election denialism ░░░░░░░░ sense of this even ░░░░░░░░ they are hoping to ░░░░░░░░ over majority in the ░░░░░░░░ and Senate SOLTIS Anderson ░░░░░░░░ think they are saying ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ issues that matter to ░░░░░░░░ they are not focused ░░░░░░░░ those sorts of things ░░░░░░░░ you talk to any ░░░░░░░░ these Republicans who are ░░░░░░░░ in that kind of ░░░░░░░░ denier camp if that ░░░░░░░░ the term we re ░░░░░░░░ they always want to ░░░░░░░░ back to the issues ░░░░░░░░ they re focused on ░░░░░░░░ policies that they want ░░░░░░░░ change They are not ░░░░░░░░ about and then I ░░░░░░░░ to change X Y ░░░░░░░░ Z when it comes ░░░░░░░░ election laws And I ░░░░░░░░ think that s going ░░░░░░░░ be an interesting distinction ░░░░░░░░ Are these folks that ░░░░░░░░ from a rhetorical perspective ░░░░░░░░ I m worried about ░░░░░░░░ fraud and so on ░░░░░░░░ so forth or are ░░░░░░░░ actually upon assuming office ░░░░░░░░ to make changes And ░░░░░░░░ they changes that are ░░░░░░░░ just say rolling back ░░░░░░░░ era changes to election ░░░░░░░░ but actually going further ░░░░░░░░ Yeah and I absolutely ░░░░░░░░ that there s a ░░░░░░░░ of talk about why ░░░░░░░░ aren t talking more ░░░░░░░░ the economy And I ░░░░░░░░ think that they are ░░░░░░░░ the reason that they ░░░░░░░░ talking about threats to ░░░░░░░░ democracy is exactly what ░░░░░░░░ laid out which is ░░░░░░░░ there are election deniers ░░░░░░░░ there that are on ░░░░░░░░ ballot that could potentially ░░░░░░░░ elected So I think ░░░░░░░░ is right for President ░░░░░░░░ to go and address ░░░░░░░░ nation and talk about ░░░░░░░░ threats to our democracy ░░░░░░░░ also has to talk ░░░░░░░░ the economy which he ░░░░░░░░ doing But we need ░░░░░░░░ do both And that ░░░░░░░░ why you see Democrats ░░░░░░░░ that.”
