double digits after him. as of now, and yes we are always out, it looks like it could once again be trump versus biden. only this time trump is federally indited, we know what that looks like, how trump responds when he feels cornered. the conspiracy theories, grievances, and threats, policy? not really his thing. one of the many flaws arrivals from the gop nominees highlighted about trump just today. republicans should listen to what he says. he is a petulant child when somebody disagrees with him. whether it s bill barr, john kelly, or general mattis. whether it is nick mulvaney, or general milley. if you disagree with donald trump, the petulant child comes out and he calls you names. i don t think that is what the constitution intends. giving the president the pardon power. but most importantly, it would be inappropriate, although i
can certainly see donald trump doing that. that is exactly what he would intend if he got elected president. as for the man who beat donald trump in 2020? well, it is all about the issues heading into 2024. president biden held his first reelection rally saturday in pennsylvania, giving no time to trump or his legal pair are. the washington post quotes, president biden s administration is placing large bet on the idea that voters still care whether the government is succeeding at the basics, constructing roads and bridges, creating well-paying jobs a new green and tech industries, and managing the federal apparatus without excessive drama. with me now, msnbc political analyst fernando monte, who s the strange days podcast, and not dow is back with us. i get what he is saying there, but i don t know that it is about roads and bridges so much as just a complete full screen or of chaos or competence. i don t know if it s joe biden selling specific policy pieces,
this is an election, this is a referendum on biden s last four years. you have to make that case for biden. but at the same time, as much as it may revisit the past, you have got to prosecute the case against donald trump and talk about him as what he is, an existential threat to the safety, security of the united states and the republic as we know it for these last 247 years. to that point about prosecuting the case against trump, that is part of a christie is doing, part of what hutchinson is doing. they are among the few gop candidates who are willing to do that. i keep describing this as a multi lane highway where everybody is backed up in the trump lane. hutchinson, kristie, they at least have their own lanes. part of the question to me becomes, is there a point later in this process where some of the candidates were in the trump plane they look over and say, that guy is writing in his own lane. i m polling in the single digits, that got polling in the single digits, so i am no

still investigating this raid at mar-a-lago jim jordan just today sending a letter to attorney general merrick garland requesting more documents, more information related to that raid. as they try to figure out what happened there versus what happened with the current president. rich? rich: aishah hasnie live on the hill. thank you. you got it. republican presidential candidates are talking about the frontrunner s latest legal problems. correspondent alexis mcadams is at the north carolina republican convention where ron desantis is scheduled to speak in just a few minutes. the news of former president donald trump s indictment is the hot topic at the north carolina g.o.p. convention. i bet you he gets a huge donation with the polls. i bet he comes way up in the polls after what happened yesterday. it s really interesting, you have the trump diehards and no matter what he does they support
