CHUCK TODD: Symone, is it, is it time to actually believe that the Democrats can keep the House? Or is that a bridge too far at this point?
SYMONE SANDERS-TOWNSEND: I think that it is a possibility. I think folks that are saying it’s a foregone conclusion are being way too optimistic. This is going to be a turnout election. And different from Kansas, right? Kansas people were going out to defeat a ballot initiative. In November, it’s not a ballot initiative. People are going out to vote for candidates, which is why I think it is very important that Democrats need not talk about the search on the former president’s home, need not talk about —
CHUCK TODD: You wouldn’t talk about Trump?
SYMONE SANDERS-TOWNSEND: No, you don’t need to talk about it. Look, if talking about Donald Trump was going to get people elected, Terry McAuliffe would be the governor of Virginia right now. They need to talk about what Democrats have done, what this bill will mean for families. I don’t think they’re going to see the climate change effects this November, but they are going to see it sooner than ten years. Lowering prescription drugs, jobs, there is something to talk about here. And I think that’s what they should go out and do.
