joni ernst is one notable absence yesterday as former president donald trump. welcome to fox news live and sean. arthel: hi eric hello everyone i am arthel neville. we have lots mother publican race throughout our. but first a prime suspect in a case of missing alabama teen natalee holloway could be handed over to the u.s. as soon as tomorrow. joran van der sloot was moved to a different prison in peru yesterday ahead of his expected x prediction. he is serving time there for an unrelated murder conviction. holloway, you may remember, went missing on a senior trip to aruba back in 2005. her body was never found. she was declared dead at seven years ago. van der sloot is facing wire fraud and connection to her disappearance. eric: for the latest on this case will expect this week charles watson in birmingham, alabama. hey charles. quick take good afternoon eric and arthel. we do expect joran van der sloot to answer to the questions of wire fraud and extortion inside the federa
a lot of room for chris christie to come in for the question is what is he there to do? you could help desantis by becoming more of a foil to trump. maybe trump will set his sights on governor christie incentive desantis where he is spending most of his time focusing most of his attacks right now. but i do not know. i think the president likes the big field he knows it helps them talk welcome tim scott into the race when he jumped in a few weeks ago. i have a feeling his real focus will remain on desantis and the big field with christie getting in is again something that will detract from the number two canon of course that is desantis right now. arthel: i would not be surprised if we sell a trump/scott party. former president pence as you said was the vice president to president trump. but will pence run on past record? or will he put forth a new policy agenda?
president trump right now a lot of people in iowa, voters i have talked to there in the ground thanks it is a two man race at this point for the talk about other candidates. they talk about tim scott, nikki haley and others. they feel it is a two man race at this point if you re bringing in former president mike pence that changes the game a little bit. he is pretty popular or a vice president polls pretty low right now but once he s in the reeds you may see that change will that take away from? a lot of people think pulling away from ron desantis thus making it harder for him to gain on president trump import the sting interest of any shot whatsoever to start cutting into president trump sleep. i do not think he will be helped by the entry of mike pence was very aligned with him politically. very conservative, pro-life. i think when christie gets in that is somebody to pull away from desantis i don t think christie will pull away from trump. in many ways it s a two man r
