around the world. we haven t heard any response from the right yet about what biden said in being clumsy in the deal with the french, but what s the plus/minus on that tactic? you probably get beaten up a little less for apologizing to the french, but the point, you talked about him throwing his aides under the bus, chris. there were others under the bus. he also said i thought you had been informed about the status of your own deal. that was really throwing the australians under the bus and maybe the brits a little bit because what he was saying was, i thought you had been told that deal wasn t going to go forward. so it wasn t only on his aides. look, i think the right is going to be more focused on these talks about iran. the forcing mechanism for this discussion that merkel wanted is that the iranians have agreed to return to negotiations or at least talks, i should say, next
the same parents are going to hold back on vaccinating their young children as well. so i think you re going to see enormous regional variation as a consequence. dr. peter hotez, always good to see you. continue to be well. thank you, you too. coming up, president biden is expected to meet with world leaders to discuss iran s nuclear program. we ll go back live to rome for the g20 summit right after this. with vitamin c, d and zinc season after season. ace your immune support with centrum. now with a new look! exclusive ticket access to unmissable events. that s the real music to your ears. one of the many reasons you re with amex platinum. the sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now. it helps keep you effortlessly comfortable by sensing your movements and
and democracy works. and i think all of those are being challenged, he was i worked by the french saying he was adopting trump-like tactics with the the way submarine deal is down. they re questioning is the u.s. back given the afghanistan exit. they re looking at the chaos back home over his agenda, his own party is divided over how to put that agenda in place, and i think the white house realizes how that could affect him trying to use that message while he s here. let s get a quick word from axelrod. david, thank you very much. what is your take on the awareness level of the existential game afoot for democrats? obviously they didn t want to talk about the afghanistan exit as anything that big of a deal. they thought it was overly harsh on biden and it was really trump who got them into it, and they don t see this virginia test, at least outwardly, as being about them? first of all, i do think that
what is america about? both of you honestly made great points about why this matters inside out. let s do it again in reverse. to the united states, the iran deal matters, and they understand the white house, that there s pressure on them about can they really stick. yeah, and the bigger question about whether or not they can trust america is not necessarily they don t trust president biden or they don t think he ll keep his word. it s that the trump presidency really shook a lot of these world leaders because they were shaken and saw how quickly things can change and how the united states word may only be good for four years, one presidential term. so when they say they re watching virginia, of course, the governor s race on tuesday is seen as a bellwether for what s going to happen in 2022, potentially after biden s presidency. he said his presidency could be on the line twhomgs getwhen it comes to getting his agenda passed, so are republicans about to be back in power?
