argument for maybe some more time for joe biden in the white house. yes, i think probably. thank you, my friend. president biden was in normandy today, commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day. and while he was there, he was asked about something totally unrelated. whether he would issue a pardon for his son, hunter, if a federal jury in delaware convicts the younger biden of felony gun possession. here his out president biden responded. as we sit here in normandy, your son, hunter, is on trial. i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution. but let me ask you, will you accept the jury s outcome, the verdict, no matter what it is? yes. have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. pretty clear answer there. but again, this is a yes or no russian. to be honest, shouldn t be that hard to answer. joe biden, as president, with the power to pardon anyone he wants at the federal level will let his son go to prison if he is found guilty by a j
over 100 million vaccines delivered so far. we are at a critical time. stunning images of crowds flocking for spring break. the other surge raising major concerns this morning is the growing crisis at the u.s. mexico border. right now, more than 4,000 unaccompanied migrant children, that s children without their parents are in border patrol custody. we are following all these headlines, first, cnn jeremy dimons is at the white house with more on the cross-country tour touting his relief package, it s interesting during trump presidency, we talk about campaign-style presidents. i wonder if you see this at a campaign event? reporter: from is no question president biden and vice president harris are talking about the american rescue plan. that coronavirus relief package you signed in law last week. a part is political. it s about preparing for the mid-terms. every democrat up and down the ticket will be running on this plan. particularly throws members of congress and senators
