Or not he accepted. He sat with donald trump through his National Security briefings and hes been with him throughout this transition process. He was seen as the lead candidate for this job so it would be very difficult to see him turning it down, don. So we also know that donald trump and mitt romney, sara, are going to be meeting this weekend. Are we seeing signs trump is looking to form a team of rivals . Add to this a team of strange bed fellows. Few people were as barred as donald trump, as early as mitt romney was. Take a listen about trump in the past. Heres what i know. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud. Hes a disloyal guy. Hes an elite us. His promises are as wort worthsleworths worthless as a degree from trump university. Not a lot of love lost but it being looks like theyre going to patch things up. Theyre going to be meeting on saturday and we expect them to discuss a secretary of state position. That does not necessarily mean that mitt romney is one of the front runners, it
Neil gorsuch takes seat as the junior most justice. At this very moment he is behind closed doors taking a private oath of office in the first of what will be two ceremonies today. President donald trump, peace maker . The president forcing his top adviser, steve bannon and Jared Kushner, to broker a truce. But is the west wing big enough for both of these men . And fractures in foreign policy. Just days after launching a military strike on syria the president s diplomats offer very different views of the path forward. So which is it . Good morning, everyone. Im poppy harlow. John berman has the day off. We are now just a couple hours of the Supreme Court being back to the full strength of a nine hearn bench for the first time in 14 months. Right now the widow of Justice Antonin Scalia is on hand for the swearing in, the private swearing in of the man who will replace her husband on the bench of the nations highest court. Our arianne deveaux is here with how this is unfolding. The pree
Opposition to effectively kill the bill. You have conservatives who are concerned it doesnt go far enough to repeal obamacare. And then more moderate centers who are afraid it goes too far. They are concerned with the medicaid cuts in this bill those people will be left behind. Listen to what susan collins, a republican of maine and one of the people concerned about medicaid cuts had to say followed by White House Council Kellyanne Conway earlier this week. Its certainly going to be very difficult from my part. Im very concerned about the cost of insurance for older people with serious chronic illnesses and the effect of the medicaid cuts on our state governments, the most Vulnerable People in our society. And Health Care Providers such as aerorural hospitals and nursing homes, most of whom are very dependent on the Medicaid Program. These are not cuts to medicaid, george. This slows the rate for the future and allows states more flexibility with medicaid dollars because theyre closest
Good morning. Im erica hill in for john berman and poppy harlow. Were half an hour into the trading day on wall street. And one of our producers just said, if you ever bungee jumped, you might feel at home now. A day after the biggest single day point drop in the history of the dow, blue chips plunging before surging as you can see on your screen into the green. Were taking stock of congress at this hour. A new government funding deadline is looming, of course. An immigration deal is in limbo. Republican leaders of the house due to brief reporters any moment now. We begin with the markets. Christine romans, looking at this, everybody wants to know why, whats next . Easier to ask than to answer. The stocks dont just go straight up forever. Thats what we learned over the past few days. You have a bond market yield starting to go up that spooked stock market investors. Yesterday was a really terrible day. 1,175 points dropped off the dow yesterday. That is, you know, the worst point loss
Biden rolled out that video last thursday, alisyn. There is the horse race, as you said. Joe biden way out in front, 39 of democrats are backing him. 15 for sanders. Warren, buttigieg, orourke, harris, all grouped together in the next tier. Lets look at where they were last month in our poll compared to now. Look at that biden movement. That is 11 points higher than he was just a month ago. This clearly is a bounce out of his rollout, out of his annou e announceme announcement. The only other candidate to make a big jump, buttigieg went to 1 to 7 . Orourke and harris go from double digits to single digits. Sanders went down even to biden and a bit to buttigieg. Here is something i want to caveat, so folks are aware, where the support is coming from, look at this. Among white democrats versus nonwhite democrats, joe bidens commanding lead is fueled by this lead among nonwhite voters. 50 compared to sanders at 14 . Hes still leading white voters, but not by that huge margin that he is am
