once again dredging up lies about the 2020 election, just six weeks before the iowa caucuses. this afternoon, trump accused president biden of, quote, waging an all-out war on american democracy, and his chain hand campaign handed out these signs, you can see it on the screen, joe biden attacks democracy. the former president told supporters at another rally today that he hopes judges will let him prosecute the 2020 election, and encouraged them to go into ballot tabulating facile at this times in 2024 to, quote, guard the votes. kristen holmes has been following the trump campaign today. she s in cedar rapids, iowa, for us. kristen, what s the latest? reporter: yeah, jim, essentially, this is the most forcible rebuttal we ve seen from former president trump to the argument that president biden has routinely made, that a second trump term would be a threat to democracy. he even vaguely referenced a speech that biden gave in september when he talked about maga republicans
we have a free press in america, guess what? president trump is allowed to be critical of the press. this is something that republicans have shied away from. they have shied away from being critical of the mainstream media. president trump is a fair game. if they have going to be critical of them, he will be critical on them. heather: focus on obamacare, policy-driven issues and stories and health care, thank you both for joining us this morning. i appreciate it as always. clayton: the governor of connecticut is trying to balance the budget on gun owners. wants to quadruple five-year renewal fees. fees will increase from $50 to $75.
