EXCERPT:

HASAN: "And I get it, you don’t want to be complacent about Donald Trump because if he does win, and I don't think he'll win as of today, but if he does win, it’s basically the end of American democracy, in my view, so it's a huge risk. On the other hand, I would be far more nervous if it was a Tim Scott or a Nikki Haley going up against Joe Biden. That's just a reality because there wouldn’t be such a stark choice. And the reality is, Republicans know this deep down, that he’s going to cost them with suburban women, he'll cost them with independents, he'll cost them with young voters, they know this, he'll cost them with minorities despite, allegedly, his edge with black men. So this idea,  this — as you say, the person doesn’t exist, I haven't found that person, I'd love to find the person who voted against Trump in 2020 but now thinks Trump has comported himself in such a wonderful way over the last three years, he deserves another chance. They don't exist.”
