reporter: the president is continuing to lash out at britain s ambassador to the u.s., kim darroch who had sharp criticism of mr. trump still rating against theresa may handling of brexit and the president tweeted the whacky ambassador that the u.k. hoisted upon the united states is not someone we are thrilled with. a very stupid guy. i told theresa may how to do that deal but she went her own foolish way. was unable to get it done. a disaster. many people accused the president of meddling and none of his business but it u it turns out he was right. reporter: and the controversy regarding secretary acosta and the british ambassador, a crucial debate on an appealed court over the future of obamacare. the republican appointed judges on that appeals court suggested that obamacare, which protects people with pre-existing conditions, may no longer be constitutional after president trump and gop lawmakers striped out the individual mandate from that law. all of in a means another crit
who live here legally, who can actually vote? talk to them. it shows the struggle of the democrats right now, when more than 70% of people like their private employer health insurance, and more than 70% of people think the economy is good. they are grasping at straws. harris: it s interesting you re saying that, one thing that popped into my head over the course of a couple of nights, because health care came up more than once, was that line of you can keep your doctor if you want to. i think democrats, as a party, were so damaged by that broken promise. but every time they start to talk about what you can keep like, amy klobuchar said we will make it a choice! and that requires that you believe you can keep what you have. and we are right back in that both democrats. jessica: i thought that, where joe biden shined the most was in his defense of obamacare. and extending as much coverage as possible to the most amount of people. he did something very specific. he said, i oppo
