passed or signed executive action to try to curb gun violence but has also acknowledged or conceded there are limits to his executive power. when i talked to officials here at the white house, what they tell me is a lot of their focus now is also on how to respond to communities, almost akin to responding to a hurricane, which tells us how commonplace this has become that they start to think of the short term and long-term needs of a community. all of this coming to a head the day that president biden was returning to here to the white house. he was ending his vacation in lake tahoe and it s just a reality check as to what he is returning to, another day marked by gun violence. fred? priscilla alvarez at the white house. thanks so much. separately tomorrow will be another pivotal day in court for former president donald trump and his co-defendants.
people in jail for having undermined our electoral system is a sign that the system is strong. the fact that some of the candidates on the stage at the gop debate waited to put up their hand to say that they would support a candidate but they waited, which means even they understand the seriousness of him being found guilty in one of these four cases. so i would say that we have a lot of time until the convention, the republican convention next summer. a year is a long time in history, it s a long time it s a super long time in politics. i would argue that we haven t yet seen the consequence of the drip, drip, drip that these indictments are having on donald trump s credibility. sadly people are going to continue to give him money to mount his defense, but that doesn t mean that the 60% of republicans who aren t die hard

it says a lot about how strong the cult of donald trump still is. and in the broader perspective, and that s the one that ultimately will determine the significance of all that we re watching today, in the broader significance donald trump is not where he wants to be. he is at the center of two very difficult indictments connected to an attempt to overthrow an american election and connected to an attempt to prevent a peaceful transfer of power. this is much bigger than watergate. this kind of alleged crime strikes at the heart of our system. no person who has occupied the oval office is going to want to be associated with an attempt to overturn the office that he was sworn to defend and preserve. so i think in the long term this is very harmful to president trump, to his legacy, and i
