here we go. tuesday morning. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i m christine romans. president biden is ready to confirm what used to be a given for an incumbent in american politics, that he is running for re-election. the official announcement of his 2024 campaign today comes as polls show a majority of voters and even a majority of democrats don t want him to run again. jasmine wright is joining me. good morning. what do we know about the campaign rollout? reporter: well, today is the day maybe, that is an important caveat, because we know that president biden is one that can change his decision especially about his political future. so that caveat is very important, but if president biden were to go forward with it today he d be really in essence launching his final campaign of his decades long political career. it is only official when it is official, but if it happens, we know logistically how it will look. the president will be launchi
records breonna taylor s mother had one word to describe how she felt after learning former louisville metro police officer myles cosgrove had been rehired by another department. anger. to think that another department would even want this guy to be a part of any department for that matter, just angers me. reporter: according to a cnn affiliate, the carroll county sheriff s department cited cosgrove s experience as the reason behind the higher. his attorney confirmed the former lmpd officer recently started with the sheriff s department. so on behalf of myles and myself, we don t want anything to take away or diminish the value of the tragedy that happened to breonna taylor and her family. we re not minimizing that at all. but he definitely has had a hard road to go in getting back to
candidates, but that is less of an issue against trump who is in a similar age range. do you think the president will have any serious democratic challengers? that is not something that biden and his team or the wider democratic party is concerned about. there is obviously maryann williamson and robert f. kennedy jr. who both announced bids. but biden has most of the democratic party behind him, progressive wing to the more moderate wing. and even the democratic national committee has no plans to host debates and give biden the opportunity to share the stage with some of the other long shot challengers. but as we see him announce today, i think that we ll see wide reaction from across the democratic party lining up to support his bid. tyler, nice to see you. a big day for you at the white house. thank you, sir. one of the louisville metro police officers involved in the 2020 shooting of breonna taylor is now working for another sheriff s office. here is jason carroll.
decided to hire cosgrove. his attorney notes four other officers in the raid face federal charges in connection with the raid, three accused of lying in order to obtain a search warrant. one former lmpd officer admitted in federal court that she and another officer had falsified information in the warrant that was used to justify the raid on taylor s apartment. u.s. attorney merrick garland said had it not been for that faulty warrant taylor would be alive today. cosgrove s attorney reminded those who oppose his client being hired that he has not been charged with any crime. there was a grand jury that met, state of kentucky that cleared him of any wrongdoing. a federal grand jury was convened and also determined that there were other people who warranted being charged criminally but not myles. this good old boy system, so i m not surprised at all.
trying to figure out a way to support his family in the future. reporter: cosgrove was one of three lmpd officers who fired their weapons during a raid on breonna taylor s apartment the night of march 13th, 2020. cosgrove fired more than a dozen times including the fatal bullet that killed taylor. though the louisville metro police department fired him in january of 2021 for failing to use his body camera and violating the department s use of force rules. i started shooting as soon as i saw the flash. almost simultaneously. reporter: during a department hearing to appeal his firing, cosgrove expressed remorse. do you regret breonna taylor ended up being shot and killed? of course. of course i do. it is horrible. reporter: the merit board upheld the dismissal and carroll county sheriff s department
