good day to you. i m peter alexander in for andrea mitchell. president biden is a few hours away from landing in italy for a g7 summit with some of america s biggest allies. ukraine presses the west for more aid and pressure mounts on israel and hamas to end the war in gaza. the secretary of state delivering the first comments on the response by hamas to the latest cease-fire proposal saying in qatar, it s time for the haggling to stop. hamas proposed numerous changes to the proposal that was on the table. some of the changes are workable. some are not. if one side continues to change its demands, including making demands and insisting on changes for things that it accepted, you have to question whether they are proceeding in good faith or not. i believe the gaps are bridgeable. doesn t mean they will be bridged. president biden departed for the g7 summit with world leaders this morning after quickly rearranging his travel to be by his son s side last night. that vis
backing him up they just give the democrats a gift because all they are going to say is, how can you be fighting crime when you endorse and commit to felons? it will take a while to fully gauge the impact of the hush money verdict on public opinion, but i wanted to show up all that found that half of registered voters strongly or somewhat approved the verdict. in the meantime, president biden and his allies are reportedly sticking to a cautious and sober response to the verdict. should the campaign be doing more to capitalize on their opponent being found guilty by a jury of 34 felony counts? i think democrats have to be a little careful because i know you understand firsthand about what has happened to so many marginalized folks who
prison, attica, sing sing, or it could be probation, where he would have to pro report to probation. is it possible to get home confinement? that s not really a sentence that is given in new york, but a judge has discretion to do that, as sort of a part of your conditional discharge would be that, meaning you can only go he won t be locked in trump tower but he would be limited and i can see the judge not doing that because he is, assuming he s not sentencing the person running for office, but it s going to be hard because there are mitigating circumstances. i can only two. one, he s 78 years old and the other is he has no prior criminal convictions. so his lawyers could argue, he s 77, 78, but i thought he was a youngster. i thought they were arguing that biden was old now they will have to argue he is old? he won t let them do that. if i were representing him, which i wouldn t be, but you
unconditional support for israel continuing his arms and complicity that puts america in. a lot of people in the gen z community , we are trying to motivate gen z to politically engage and work with residents like biden and amplify their voice. i want to stop you there because i m out of time but i want to briefly ask you about your work mobilizing gen z medically for your organization together. you have been particularly focused on the right-wing effort to dismantle diversity programs, dei in corporate america and college campuses. i have been holding demonstrations with other young ministers in our organization every single week outside the offices of hedge fund billionaire bill ackman for his assault on diversity programs. he announced he is going to
should be subject to the country s criminal and civil laws. has this moment further tightened trump s grip over the republican party? is that even possible? that s a great way of putting it. i don t know if it is possible to me more under trump s thumb with the small minority of republicans who voted for biden in 2020, or those who do speak out, but they are certainly in the minority. nothing is going to change the dynamic for trump within the political party. i was really surprised to see that, right after the verdict, a lot of republican congressmen who were in swing districts, meaning they have a tough road in a general election your , they came out and backed up donald trump, and i find that so puzzling because especially in local races, republicans who run on crime well, i think
