i just hope we get fair treatment because if we don t our country s in big, big trouble. as the presidential election year begin, former president trump faces multiple legal challenges while president biden makes the case his likely gop opponent is a serious threat to democracy. the choice is clear. donald trump s campaign is about him, not america. not you. democracy is on the ballot. your freedom is on the ballot. i ll talk to republican congresswoman elise stefanik of new york and biden s deputy campaign manager quentin fulks. plus, wider wars. there are growing fears the war between israel and hamas could spread further after the u.s. killed an iranian-backed militia leader inside, and tensions are rising in the red sea. we have an intense focus from preventing this crisis from spreading. i ll talk to isaac herzog. and shutdown threat. will spending cuts lead to another government shutdown. we want to get the border closed and secured first. how far is t
i have said i would be honored to be in a trump administration, but i m in an important role as conference chair and representative of the people of new york 21. congresswoman and chairwoman elise stefanik, thank you very much. thanks for being here in person. we appreciate it. when we come back, president biden s 2024 campaign is off and running. i ll talk to his deputy campaign manager quentin fulks. that s next. to duckduckgo on all your devie
are new warnin welcome back. as president biden ramps up his general election campaign, there are new warning signs. the washington post reporting former president obama has raised questions about the structure of president biden s reelection campaign. two sources confirmed to nbc news that obama and biden met over lunch in december and discussed the campaign with obama expressing deep concern about mr. trump s political strength underscoring the urgency, one source telling me this is an all-hands on deck moment. joining me now is the president s deputy campaign manager quentin fulks. welcome to meet the press. thank you for being here. thank you for having me, kristen. it is a pleasure. it is a pleasure to have you. it s a busy one. look, if you look at some of the pollings if elections were held today, president biden is struggling in some of the battleground states that propelled him to the white house. i guess the question that a lot of democrats have, a lot of questions
accuses biden of doing. she was talking about the most viewed was her questioning of dr. gay saying i got the biggest crowds. she is trumping her way to this, hopefully, it seems to the vp position, running mate position, and she is going in with the full maga, and that is exactly what she thinks. fair enough. what you say is true, but she pounds on the illegal immigration, which is huge in america as an issue. she pounds on this new thing, which is not attacks on institution, but on specific institutions the republicans and conservatives believe have been out there for at least 20 years. that s going to be big. so she does hit on policy. there s no doubt about it. go ahead, mike. when you talk about what you re seeing in iowa, listening to quentin fulks, it s true. they view this as unmovable, and that s why you will see trump this week not in iowa but in a
you re making that argument, but will president biden start to make that argument? i think we ve already seen him make that argument that donald trump is not concerned about the freedoms and the future of american citizen. he s only concerned about his own self and what he wants to do. he wants to win again not to pass an agenda. he wants to pass so he can enact revenge and retribution on his political enemies and it s not a hard choice to make and we ll point that out. quentin fulks, thank you very much for your time this morning. really appreciate it. when we come back, the risks of a wider war in the middle east are increasing and i m talk to isaac herzog. that s next. isaac herzog. that s next.
