desantis in the white house? new evidence that the governor s willing to test that theory as he gears up to announce his presidential run. if you re not worried about the potential for a catastrophic debt default two weeks from now, the white house has a message for you. right now vice president kamala harris is trying to make their case to the public with the goal of pressuring republicans into making a deal. the latest on that, plus a live report from japan and the latest remarks from top administration officials on where the talks go from here. plus, why a house vote to punish admitted liar and federal fraud suspect george santos may ultimately help the new york republican s chances of staying in office. we ll explain that coming up. but we start in florida as nbc news learns that governor ron desantis will officially announce that he s running for president next week as we watch him try to super charge his campaign by harnessing the powers of the culture wars incl
explored in terms of exactly how much of this floridians are ready to digest, it s all nice when it s, you know, the other person who has a trans child. so when a republican legislator or those republican activists b who have been out there screaming about this, suddenly their child says, hey, i m one of had them, what do you do then? so i think there s a lot more of that to be played out. the rest of the country is going through this conversation, and they re assessing exactly how they feel about these issues, and if he s able to capture that lightning in the bottle, if you will, in terms of any angst or concern they may have, it will sustain him for a short period of time. donald trump is going to come off actually ironically as a moderate on some of these issues, and that will be the counter push to desantis. desantis thinks he s not to be more maga, and donald trump has
exercise their right to vote or not or whether this antidemocratic tool, this filibuster will be used to prevent people from voting. those people are black and brown people. in the recent politics, we know what this is. mark, we ll speak with you earlier, i am going to ask my control room to go full on your position. mara is just walking us through. there you are on a black voters matter bus. doing this work around the country and earlier we had coverage from another such grass root effects of this counter push but the news tonight, my job to issue the news whether the people like it or not was that the republicans did exercise their obstruction under the current rule in the senate.
