Hello, welcome back to how to win 2024. It's Thursday, February 22nd. I'm Jennifer

Paul Mary and I'm here with my co-host Claire McCaskill. Hi Claire.

Hey Jen, so it is a beautiful day in St. Louis, Missouri.

The sun is shining and it's in the 60s and it feels like spring is almost here, which

means it's almost super Tuesday. is almost

Tuesday. Yeah, it feels like this week, I mean we're gonna talk about a lot of stuff

but it feels like this week sort of the impact of Magas take over the Republican Party, taking hold in people's lives in real ways.

Continuing in the new strategy session that we have created, so the Claire and I want to highlight a few top-line issues with our campaign

strategy and communications lens as if we were in the Biden campaign war room. Top of mine issues

this week. How threatened reproductive rights will be under our Trump administration.

Biden moving to offense on his ability to lead.

I feel like they're getting traction there.

That is good.

The little house majority that couldn't and Joe Manchin's decision not to run as a no-label's

third-party presidential candidate, Woot.

Jen and I are also going to talk with Kansas City Mayor Quintan Lucas.

He's going to catch us up on how the

Kansas City community is healing after last week's brutal shooting at the Chief's parade and what

he as a city leader is doing to tamp down gun violence and deal with some of the most awful gun laws in the country.

And we are going to spotlight the death of Alexei Navalny and talk about how Russian aggression in Ukraine is connected to the need for Congress to pass an aid bill. and in a way that we haven't seen before. So we're going to do a spotlight on that.

So before we get into all that,

we have a little housekeeping note.
