i m martha maccallum live in des moines, iowa. here s the story today. we are here all week. we re hours away from our first big town hall with one week to go until the first in the nation caucuses to decide the 2024 presidential election. tonight, nikki haley. tomorrow, it s ron desantis and wednesday we ll join with former president donald trump and voters here on the ground in iowa. the former president is way ahead in the polls right now. he s telling his supporters to pretend we re one point down and don t stay home on caucus night. karl rove and former obama adviser robert wolf standing by on the matchup. interesting reports today that say former president obama went to the white house to meet with president biden and expressed his concerns about the campaign and how things are being run from the biden perspective. he warned about the possibility of a second trump victory and said not to underestimate that possibility according to these reports. so we gin with con
biden to not pull off of his eggs in this threat to democracy basket. he says it makes sense on january 6th, but don t kid yourself. january 8th and 9th, americans will still be going to the grocery store. people live in the comply around experience it in times a day. they don t live on january 6th. this was also picked up on by mitt romney. he said as a biden campaign theme, the threat to democracy will be a bust. january 6th will be four years old by the election and calling it kicking a dead political horse. is it dangerous to go on these democracy themes, robert? i like james but we know james has been wrong in 2008 with obama, 2012 with obama, 2016 with hillary, in 2020 he didn t support biden in the primary. so i mean, honestly, i think that the campaign has to be more broader than just democracy is on the line. i actually think bidenomics is something that he should be running on.
