segment mornings with maria. graham thinks biden is done. you look at some of the fox polling showing up from south carolina, our poll shows biden gaining, up six points. your take. because of the ukraine situation it has put the spotlight on joe biden and his son hunter. whether or not there was actual wrongdoing done. as a result of that i think it raises that question for him everywhere he goes. i m not sure about these polls. the polls were so wrong in 2016 i look at these polls skepticly. what lindsey graham said yesterday was this past week was the most consequential week for donald trump s reelection campaign that we ve seen yet. one, biden has imploded because of these upsets. the polls don t say that. but lindsey graham saying because of the focus on hunter biden and what he may or may not have done. collecting $50,000 a month from ukraine and went with the vice
