On Snakes, Snails Turtles & "How They Vote In California"

Third time's the charm?  With bug eyes for emphasis, Kristen Welker makes three attempts to tell the President how voting works in California so he won't remain mired in ignorance, without the evidence needed to confirm what he sees, hears and knows. 

"President Trump: They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up with the --

    Kristen Welker: That's how they count the votes in California.

President Trump: Do you know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.

    Kristen Welker: There's -- What? Do you have evidence to support that?

President Trump: It's -- all I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.

    Kristen Welker: But that's not evidence.

President Trump: And I listen. And I listen to people. And let's see what happens.

    Kristen Welker: But sir, that's not evidence --

President Trump:  Do you think it's appropriate --

    Kristen Welker: That's how they count the votes in California --

President Trump:  Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking a winner?

    Kristen Welker:  State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging --

President Trump: No, they're crooked.

    Kristen Welker: --they're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California."

On Robust Groups & Front Runners

 "Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, said she won't be running for president in 2028. 

"There will be a robust group of people running for president, and I will not be one of them in 2028. I can tell you that," Whitmer told Fox 2 Detroit. 

Whitmer said that she'd received advice on the importance of "taking a break and not jumping right into something." 

Whitmer is nearing the end of her second term as governor, and due to term limits, she will not have a third term. 

She is among many high-profile potential 2028 Democratic contenders for president, which includes California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker."
