today on inside politics, we re not going anywhere. you re struck with us. those promises to ukraine came directly from the president of the united states today. that as the west outlines that country s path toward nato membership. but exactly when ukraine can walk down that road remains a life or death decision. i m dana bash in washington. and i m wolf blitzer reporting live from lithuania, where this hour we expect to hear directly from the president of the united states joe biden. his speech will follow a rather contentious few days. ukraine has publicly questioned why its allies are waiting to formally admit the countries into nato. ukraine s president volodymyr zelenskyy struck very different tones. he says he s grateful for the great unity and for long lasting american security garn tees, but he also used stark terms to describe the costs of nato s decision to keep ukraine at arm s length. we are over at the university where the president is getting ready to speak
congressional caucus joins me live to discuss it all. mixed bag, president biden wins big in the democrat s first presidential primary in south carolina. but new nbc news polling numbers could be a sign of trouble to come. we ll break down the data with dnc chair jaime harrison. plus, my one-on-one conversation with california governor gavin newsom, and the real reason he thinks taylor swift has conspiratorial conservatives of freaking out. and, a surprise lol on snl. are you doing okay donald? you might need a mental competency test? you know what i did, i took the test, nascent okay, perfect score, they sent him 100 percent mental. i m jonathan capehart, this is the sunday show. we are monitoring breaking news on capitol hill, as we come on the air this evening. any moment now, we could learn the details of a bipartisan senate bill that includes aid to israel and ukraine, and concessions on security at the u.s. mexico border. excuse me, senate majority leader
