PREDICTED%
YOU WERE GOING TO WIN A MAJORITY%
BUT HE
DID -- SHE DID SAY
THOSE
FIVE SEATS ARE CRITICAL IN NEWYORK.
SHE
SAID YOU
SHOULD NOT
HAVE LOST THOSE.
HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU WILL DO IN THE NEXT ELECTION?
REP. RYAN: WE HAVE
TO EARN IT.
WE
SHOULDN''T BE CELEBRATORY.
WE SHOULDN''T GET
AHEAD OF
OURSELVES.BUT THE MOMENTUM OF THE
TRAJECTORY
IS GROWING AND
BUILDING.I
THINK WE
COULD EASILY
FLIP THREE ON MAY BE UP
TO FOUR OR
FIVE IN NEW YORK.GEOFF:
WE ARE CONGRESSMAN PAT
RYAN, THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US.
WE WILL
TURN OUR
ATTENTION TO
THE CONVENTION FLOOR BECAUSE
SEAN FAIN,
PRESIDENT OF UNITED
AUTO WORKERS, IS ADDRESSING THE
CROWD.
SEAN: THAT''S
NOT JUST MY
OPINION.
THAT IS A FACT.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE
TRACK RECORD.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT,
CORPORATE AMERICA RAN WILD.
DONALD
TRUMP DID NOT BRING BACK
THE AUTO
INDUSTRY.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT,
AUTO PLANTS CLOSED.
TRUMP DID NOTHING.
TRUCK
IS IN LORDSTOWN, OHIO --
In 2019, general Motors workerswent
on strike for 40 days for agood
jobs and a better life
, and Trump did nothing
. Talking
. >> You're watching
Democratic National Convention coverage
from Chicago. I'm FredericaFreyberg.
We'll stay withNewsHour coverage, but
we want to check in
now with "Here& Now", senior political reporter
Zach Schultz , who comes to us
from Chicago leading up totonight's speech.
Zach, before the convention from PresidentJoe
Biden, Wisconsin alreadyfigured prominen
tly in
this convention with the VPcandidate, Tim
Walz, speaking to Wisconsin delegates and media
today. Who else did you hearfrom
? >> Well, it was a pretty bigcelebrity.
Roe was a lot ofgovernors from
around the country. There was the governorfrom
Maryland, from New York. There was a lieutenant
governor from Michigan. And obviously TimWalz, the
governor of Minnesota, was a big surprise for a lot ofthe
delegates. It was whispered
before he came in that that'swhat they
were waiting for. There were some stragglers that
didn't get into the breakfast ontime. You're
in there by 810 and you missed them.
So it was a pretty big thing. And
of course, Governor Evers, Wisconsin'sgovernor, spoke and
he talked about the prominence that ourstate
is still playing. It's theRNC was in Wisconsin. The DNC
is in the neighboring state,
but Wisconsin is still
like the primary focus of a lot of
people. to make it or
break it for the for ourcountry. I
do believe that the Democrats have to win
in Wisconsin in order to have thisgreat
team go across the finishline. Obviously, we're
hoping that as time goes
on that there are more states just like
Wisconsin that fall into thatcategory. But this
is really, really important
for our country. And I'm
just honored to be the governor of the
state of Wisconsin, especially at this
point in time. So
Wisconsin is so important that Kamala
Harris and Tim Walz are going to be
in Wisconsin and Milwaukee tomorrow instead of
at the convention. There inChicago. What does
that say ?>> Well, just just
what we've been talking about
. It's so vital. Wisconsin matters somuch.
It's only ten electoral votes, but they count.
They're still looked at as that
tipping point state on who's going towin.
You win Wisconsin. You
become the president. So that'swhy Kamala
is going to be there.There was also
some counter-programming in mind. Theidea
that reclaiming the space where the
Republicans held their convention and seeing if they
can fill the arena. I thinkthere's definitely
competition with the Democrats when it comesto
seeing if they can put abigger crowd
in there with Trump. And don't forget Trump'sVP nomin
ee, JD Vance, is goingto be
in Kenosha tomorrow. So everyone's in Wisconsin, even
with the United Center being theDNC. Yeah.
>> And that convention hall, the
Wisconsin delegation, I rstand,
literally has a front row seats there. So
again ,Wisconsin at the epicenter,
Zac Schultz, thanks very much for
joining us. We'll check in againtomorrow
and we will be here atthe same
time with latest updates from day two
of the DNC in Chicago on Friday. Join
"Here& Now" at 7:00 for full coverage
of the convention and what itmeans for
[APPLAUSE]
BUT A YEAR LATER, ONE
COMPANY
BACK ON COMMITMENTS
CONTRACT. LET ME BE CLEAR.
