but nikki haley is in and she s going to run, and i think she s going to be very successful. how do you think she ll fare as a candidate? i m a nikki haley fan. i think she s got the qualifications, a formidable candidate. she also needs to run directly against donald trump, and that s the open question is how willing she is to directly challenge him the by and large front-runner right now. does she have the capability and the strengthen to do it, yes. the verdict is still out on whether she s actually willing to. i think she s arguably the strongest candidate against him when she directly challenges him. the one caution i have is this is my cynical political take, there s one school of thought she s getting out early to actually ultimately run to be his vice president. i hope that s not the case. she has a record of her own to run on. she could be president tomorrow and be ready. one of the tests of that, i suppose, is whether she does directly take him on. the next couple of
biden and the administration, and where the countries failed us. and she s ready to give donald trump a contest. as to the rest of them jump in, the water is fine. but nikki haley is in. and she s going to run. and i think she s going to be very successful. alyssa, how do you think she ll fare as a candidate? i m a huge nikki haley fan. i think she s got the qualifications. she s a formidable candidate. but she needs not just run on a forward-looking next generation vision. she has to run directly against donald trump. and that s the open question. it s how willing she is to directly challenge the by and large front runner right now. does she have the capability and the strength to do? it yes. the verdict is out on whether she s willing to. i think she s arguably the strongest candidate against him, if she directly challenges him. the one caution i have and this is my cynical political take. there s some school of thought that she s gonna get out early to ultimately run to
do you think the doj would ask president biden to sit down for an interview at the stage? now that this stage. if you re in a criminal investigation, the person who is a potential target is usually the last person you want to interview, because we want to know everything you re gonna know before that interview. but it could be proper end appropriate to ask, him okay, these documents you found, if you recognize these? did you bring them home intentionally? or personally? are they mixed in with other things remember, anderson senate foreign relations committee. so i think an interview for the president on a case like, this is not out of the question. all right, john miller. i guess we will wrap it up there. andrew mccabe, john miller, thanks so much as well. when nikki haley plans to declare and how her back and forth relationship may
