for you, including president biden s nod to a popular meme. also ahead, donald trump praises the january 6th rioter who has said members of congress who certified the 2020 election should be executed. plus, an international trip for ron desantis just didn t generate the headlines he was hoping for. in fact, most of the headlines, well, especially out of britain, were terrible. we ll have new reporting on that. and we re going to dig into the breaking financial news this morning. the third failure of an american bank since march, and who is coming in to save the day? good morning. welcome to morning joe. it is monday, may the 1st. with us, we have the host of way too early, white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire. oh, jonathan, we have much to talk to you about in the boston sports world. also, special correspondent for bbc news, katty kay. the founder of the conservative website, the bulwark, charlie sykes. and columnist and associate editor for t
front runner. he was the outsider candidate. he staged over the course of 2006 and 2007 a sort of pre-candidacy. it impressed absolutely everyone across the idealogical spectrum. immaculately orchestrated and raised a ton of money in that contest for other democrats, racking up chips across the country so when he announced in february 2007, he was not the front runner, but he was seen as a credible front runner out of the gate with hillary clinton. have you ever seen a short of shadow candidacy, a run-up to an announcement that had gone worse for an ostensible leading challenger to a front runner in your lifetime?
