donald trump has one opinion, ron desantis has another opinion, mike pence and some of the others, there s a mix of opinions. quill, how does this affect the debate? well, this gives an opportunity for candidates like nikki haley and mike pence and even will hurt who have this national security background to the really flex their muscle and speak to this issue. i think president trump was very popular for his foreign policy when he came in in 2016 because he was willing to shake things up, hold nato allies accountable on spending, push on china, hold other allies accountable. but now we re in a very different world where there s an active land war in offand internal in europe, and i think americans a may be looking for a more steady hand when it comes to foreign policy which presents an opportunity for those types of candidates. anita: uh-huh. kristin, you mentioned you wanted the see continued strong support for ukraine and now is time, but how do you think this will play on the c
flawed conclusion. reporter: separately, past laws were admitted by the fbi when it comes to abusing warrantless tools and technology. court filings show that the agency conducted 278,000 data way searches on americans database searches on americans between 2020 the-2021 under the foreign intelligence surveillance act. there were definitely some issues on how fisa was used and utilized, and there have been dozens of reforms that have been made over the course of the last year or so to crease the those issues address those issues. reporter: a senior fbi official did tell fox news data base procedures have been changed so that those errors do not happen again. mike: alex, thanks a lot. for more on this, let s bring in today s political panel, gareth that joins gareth that joins and kristin hawn, democratic
basically three people that are credible in this whole thing, biden, trump and me, and i think of those three, two have a chance to get elected, biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states which is not great for the former president, people aren t going to change their view of him. kristin, how do you assess that? this might be the one time i ever agree with desantis. [laughter] like, he has a point, i mean, looking coming from the democratic point of view. if you look at, though the national polls and, you know, biden s losing to trump, that s just not true. you look at the electoral college, the statements that biden s going to play in, where you immediate to get those votes need to get those votes, i don t think that trump can be the current can beat the current president. it s going to have to be somebody else.. i m not saying it s ron desantis. i think he has some views that are not going to be the popular among women who are independents and center-left women,
back to school. i think the more voices like glenn youngkin s voice is, i think, are helpful to the party as a whole. so i hope he runs. i think the more people we have involved, i think it helps create a solid republican narrative for the next cycle. mike: let s put on the screen the declared republican candidate cans at this point. it s getting crowded. does a crowded republican field benefit former president trump, kristin? potentially. i think, but i think, you know, what is, you know, as a democrat who wants the former the current president to win again, what s really scariest to me is somebody like glenn youngkin, all right? again, i do not think do i think people are done with donald trump. but somebody s going to have to take it to the current president. that was definitely a very presidential, you know, video. i mean, all, you know, signs would indicate that he s going to run. but i don t want to speak for the republican party [laughter]
but if i m a republican, i want somebody like that leading us into the future. mike: let s show potential gop candidates, and there are a bunch more of them. greta, what do you make of this gop race? you know, i it s more wide open than national polls would lead us to believe. you know, i would note that prior to barack obama winning in iowa, he was not considered a serious candidate in south carolina. i think that, you know, the primary system, you know, especially in midwest states is really going to be key when you look at developing a solid base for whomever the nominee is. and i do think there are a number of candidates tim scott s going to announce this week as well. they have a lot to contribute to the party, and i m very thankful that they re all putting their names out there. mike: greta the, kristin, thanks so much. on fox news sunday today, shannon has exclusive interviews with senators ted cruz and jack
