you will let these people just take pots at you. reporter: he is not planning a formal announcement until at least may, that would be after the legislative session when he could have more bills signed into law that he can tout out on the campaign trail. but the book tour is coming now. he is going to texas, california and points beyond trying to make the case to republicans that he is in the view an electable fighter. of course that is drawing a distinction between him and the former president. jeff zeleny, cnn, washington. quick hits across america. fox boss rupert murdoch admitting in a deposition that some of his network hosts endorsed 2020 election lies. this is in the $1.6 billion lawsuit against the network. u.s. marshals service is investigating a major ransonware attack. a spokesperson says some of the most sensitive law enforcement data was compromised. and a congresswoman slotkin
candidates jump into the race is that none of them are willing to directly challenge donald trump. and so how does that eat away at his base at all? i see a clear path unless that happens that donald trump is going to be the nominee then push will come to shove and many of these republicans will have to decide whether they re going to sit out 2024 or back their nominee, donald trump. and before you go, i want to ask ali, you cover the hill. slotkin announcing she s going to run. when she announced she s not running for election. yeah. that sent shock waves through the senate and capitol hill when she announced that as well, andrea. congresswoman slotkin, one of those front line democrats. she s in a very swing district in michigan, putting out a video today making it official she s going to be running in this
primary to succeed debbie stabenow. we thought there would be a lot of competition for it. one of the people waiting was debbie dingell, but a lot of other house democrats here especially with if they might be interested in challenging for this seat and many really demered and now it seems like slotkin could have a similar path through the primary. but that s one of the key dominos we were waiting to see if and when it fell in michigan. this is going to be really one of those marquee races because we know how swing in michigan is. democrats were able to really under the guidance of governor whitmer, remake their state legislature to get a democratic majority there. it s a state that s been bluer in recent cycles, but it s going to be a difficult race as the map is difficult for them especially as incumbents are stepping back. ali, ashley, donna, thanks to
