from outside the supreme court, what that decision is, i ll be there starting at 10:00 a.m. eastern on monday, so make sure to join us. thank you so much for joining us. the news continues right here on cnn hello, and welcome to our viewers. watching and the united states and around the world. i m on a current in hong kong, hit on the show renewed vigor on the campaign trail for president joe biden. but isn t enough to sonst the pools for him to step aside a ruling from the u.s. supreme court limits charges against some january 6 rioters. i ll trump s team could use that to their advantage. and french voters head to the polls on sunday when the mind newell macron s centrist alliance hold firm or could we see an upset from the far right? joe biden, the white house and top democrats are damaged control mode after the u.s. president s faltering performance at thursday s presidential debate but on friday, a stark contrast. biden was animated as he spoke at a rally in north ca
power, the president, but the party in power. it s not so much about the agenda but the party out of power. and some of the folks that are challenging mcconnell right now by trying to deflect blame by trump themselves. because they were too close to the election denial movement, just too close to too much of the excess of donald trump. and supportive of too many of these candidates that the american people rejected. because they are seen as too extreme. the republicans lost the election. not because of mitch mcconnell. but because of the dobbs decision. donald trump s on handful interventions into these primary contests that nominees and other election denialism and the looking back of 2020. so plenty of reasons why republicans lost. i think those will be the biggest reasons. and of course the dobbs decision on abortion. and caroline, we are used to seeing disunity with tween the democratic party.
and mccarthy trying to the party, the freedom caucus and others, because he houses so little leeway. because he won t have much of a majority. and he also has to pitch to the center. he has to keep everyone happy. that is an impossible job. and it is one that he may not hold in january. because he actually needs to garner 218, sorry yes, 218 votes. not 288. he has now. once they get back to the session, he needs everyone together. and that s along the lines of what he s already done. which is gone ahead with his hat and his hand and going and apologizing to folks who he was critical of because of january six. so not a fun job for kevin mccarthy moving forward. we re watching very carefully. caroline and charlie dent, many thanks for the analysis. appreciate it. thank you. three, two, one.
crime, inflation, the war and ukraine and a host of other problems. in true trumpian fashion, he promised he would fix it. you can t stay quiet any longer. you are angry about what is happening to our country. our country is being destroyed before your very eyes. this will not be my campaign! this will be our campaign. altogether. joining me now, from los angeles, democratic strategist and occidental college professor, caroline hillman. and from washington, cnn political commentator and former congressman, charlie dent. good to see you both. thank you. the story of course, donald trump announce-ing a very early bid for president of 2024. his third attempt. and it comes after his big losses in the midterm election. and when republicans, and party donors are pointing the finger of blame at trump for the gop s
plurality in the nomination process. so i think he s dropping the gauntlet. he wants it, even though he s a diminished victor. his stars setting not rising. and he is certainly taking a lot of the blame for republican [inaudible] in last week s election. as he should be. given the fact that he made the election about himself. and that unhelpfully intervened in so many of the primaries. nominating help, and nominating candidates who are unfit. and to significant republican losses. so, we ll see how those others react. but i think some voters, would be challengers, won t jump into the race. because they re in there as a viable figure in the strong races. interesting, and caroline, trump s announcement is a gift for democrats. but they won t be so happy if and when ron desantis enters the field. how big of a threat is he to joe biden? and will trump overcome the new
