1/ Following a meeting with President Biden yesterday, I asked Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott if he has concerns about President Biden’s re-election efforts.
Trump shouldn’t “be allowed anywhere near the White House. He shouldn’t be elected dog catcher,” Mayor Scott says.
2/ MORE:
“I have no concerns with the President. When I say him last month, he picked up right on the conversation that he and I were having in March,” Mayor Scott adds.
3/ Pressing further, I asked Mayor Scott if he thinks President Biden *should be* at the top of the ticket.
“Absolutely,” he says, and then brings up Project 2025.
“They are telling you that they want to take your rights away…believe them the first time,” he adds.
4/4 “The alternative [to Biden] is we go back to someone who doesn’t have the heart, the determination, the mental capability to understand what a president means,” @MayorBMScott said.
Here we go. Small group of protesters outside the Capitol right now. They are doing mic checks and more people are congregating about.
Stay here on this thread for updates throughout the day.
The “freeedom” sign is back and the rain has started.
A tense moment among some protesters here at the Capitol involving some people who were upset about guns and then changed their tune, calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a liar.
HAPPENING NOW: Another protest type event is happening — this time outside Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s home in Lansing. The group says they want the state to re-open.
Again, a lot of Keep America Great and Trump 2020 signs.
Back in action this morning.
For the first time, the House Committee on Natural Resources will hear #PFAS testimony.
Remember - no action will be taken on legislation that has already been introduced. #LameDuck
While this is happening, another very important hearing will be taking place as well.
Senate Elections Cmte will be hearing a bill that would move campaign finance oversight from the SOS office to a new, “fair political practices commission.” #LameDuck#MILeg
That bill, SB 1250, was introduced by GOP Sen. Dave Robertson of Grand Blanc. The new panel proposed would include three members from each major political party. #MILeg
