you re a candidate now, ron. thanks to what is sure to be remembered as the most awkward campaign launch in american history. plus, that s not fair. trump s lawyers channel their inner 8-year-old in a whining complaint to the u.s. attorney general with due apologies to 8-year-olds. later, one year after 19 students and two teachers were gunned down in uvalde, texas, an activist group floats a radical proposal for reining in america s deadly gun culture. and we begin tonight with a question. would you ever hire someone who participated in a deadly insurrection to overtake the u.s. capitol or fellow rioters threatened to kill the house speaker and hang the vice president? would you hire a woman who was once arrested and charged with stealing the campaign signs of a political rival who she had run against for public office? personally i wouldn t and i imagine most of you wouldn t either. but florida governor ron desantis did. this is sandra atkinson. her investigation by

shooting in texas. # is simply the best, better than all the rest. and tributes to the queen of rock and roll, tina turner, who has died at the age of 83. if great to have you with us. we begin with the us presidential race. ron desantis has launched a bid for the 2024 presidential nomination and the chance to challengejoe biden. he is widely seen as donald trump s maine republican rival in the race for the white house. the former president remains the dominant force in the republican party. his announcement wasn t a surprise, but the way he made it was unorthodox, a conversation on twitter spaces with elon musk. i am running for president of the united states to lead our great american comeback. we know our country is going on the one direction, we see it with our eyes and we feel it in our bones, our southern border has collapsed, drugs pouring into the country, city is hollowed out by spike in crime, the federal government making it harderfor the average family to make end
you re live in the cnn newsroom. i m jim acosta in atlanta. we begin this hour with high stakes negotiations starting back up on the nation s looming debt crisis. just minutes ago talks resumed on the staff level in washington. but they will set the stage for a top level meeting tomorrow. president biden is expected to sit down with republican house speaker kevin mccarthy. the two men spoke by phone today as the president was flying back home from the g7 summit in japan. this new glimmer of optimism is a quick compromise appears increasingly bleak. the u.s. could run out of money to pay debts as early as june 1st. experts say that would be disastrous for the u.s. and the global economy. let s go the to white house and arlette saenz. what this what are they saying over there? the president returned to washington much the same when he left it, without any clear resolution in sight to avert a national default on the debts as early as 11 days from now. now, one thing that t
