weeks since he s announced. so is there enthusiasm for him or not? well, there is enthusiasm for him, and he is in a different class than the rest of the people running. the problem is trump s core hasn t moved. let s just rough it out. half the party wants to do trump, and half wants to do something else. the half that wants to do something else, he s got the biggest chunk, but he hasn t been able to dispatch the other people in the race. having a war chest which includes a bunch of money in a super pac and money they brought in from florida, that should help him move some of these people along in theory. but in my opinion, until he gets rid of some of them, it s just going to be hard to grow market share while you ve got a bunch of people taking out 1% to 8% each. jessica, one of the things that ron desantis was saying is a problem for donald trump is you can t win with just republican voters, he was saying. but he s tacking to the right of donald trump. you know, as you know, hi
trump of spending more time and money attacking him than supporting republicans. we have a lot more to do. i ve also been attacked more than anybody as you know, will. you know, donald trump has spent over $20 million attacking me. that s more than he spent supporting republican candidates in last year s midterm elections. at the end of the day, people do want to win, though. you can t win with just republican voters. i think we showed in florida, you know, if you want a big victory, you got to win independent voters. you got to win people who haven t voted for our party in the last several cycles. i ve shown i can do that, and i think we can do it nationally. okay. here to discuss the latest gop feuds and what s happening on the democratic side, we have jessica washington of the root, and our political commentators bakari sellers and scott jennings. scott, here s an interesting paradox about ron desantis. his poll numbers have been flat, basically haven t budged for several weeks.
quickly, scott. coddled by, created by, brought to you by the american left. rfk jr. is fully a product of the democratic party and the american left. that s not true. it s not? joe rogan and him are not the american left. it wasn t the republican party that brought this guy along for the last two, three decades. we don t want him. you can have him. on that note you can t give him away that easy. he s too tall for us, bakari. you can tell it s a friday night. thank you on that note. this next story is quite serious. it impacts millions of us. nearly half of the tap water in the u.s. is contaminated with, quote, forever chemicals. this is according to an alarming new study. and erin brockovich is here next.
going to bully ron desantis out of the nomination. let s talk about what s happening on the democratic side. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was on pod save america, the podcast today, and she said biden has her 2024 support. so here it is. i think i think he s done quite well given the limitations that we have. i do think that there are ebbs and flows. will you be supporting joe biden for re-election? i believe given that field, yes. so what was interesting, jessica, is in february she wouldn t say that. she would not say yes. she said, i m going to see how the primary process plays out. so what s changed? i think there s obviously no one stepping up to the plate to challenge joe biden. and i think aoc is more of a pragmatist than she s often given credit for. i think she has shown she wants to work with the party. she wants a democrat to be president. she realizes the existential threat of trump. so i think she s saying, okay, obviously biden is going to be
