and i m curious to get your thoughts about the president s newest, or newer strategy, if you will, urging republicans, really, to try to defend him on the substance of the allegations which i heard republicans are somewhat reluctant to do, and they would rather focus on defending him by attacking the process, by which he might be impeached. yes, that s exactly it. the white house has struggled, i mean honestly, infamously now, to find some unity on this messaging and that s why they re invited people over today to kind of get some sort of rally the troops, ahead of this resolution vote. but so far, republicans have really just criticized congressman schiff and other democrats for the process here. calling it, we heard steve scalise calling it a mistrial and no due process. but no one has gone into the actual allegations or substance of what these witnesses have brought forth. and that is something that the white house was hoping that
emily: right. there is a reason is he called sleepy joe. i think that obviously all eyes will be on him. i think cnn would love it if he is sharing a stage and gets the same debate as senator harris. we should watch out for copy cats. everyone saw what happened. everyone saw the form laugh harris catapulting through the polls after she attacked biden and i also think that. melissa: on the heels of last night s resolution vote and all that drama we are scheduled to hear from nancy pelosi at the top of the hour. we will bring that to you live. more outnumbered in a second.
one forward and move it forward now. let s see where that goes. yesterday we heard that behind-the-scenes at the white house aides were not happy that the president himself was going this route, if you will, taking on these four democratic congress women of color telling them to go back from where they came from and then doubling down saying if you don t like it here you can leave. today, those is this turning into a campaign strategy? it is by necessity turning into a campaign strategy for the president, his campaign and his allies as over the last 48 to 72 hours they have tried to flip the debate and make it not about what the president said but about how they can use it against democrats. the results of it was yesterday that resolution vote that the president heralded as a sign of republican unity and then he said what it showed of that democrats are wedded to the squad, these democratic congress women who he attacked over the weekend. but even further now, there s
than anything else. republicans are being bombarded about their views print several saying they do believe the president may have gone too far, but that they also believe this resolution is all about politics, not benefiting the american people. bianca max pt speaking of politics, i m curious. the calls for impeachment from the democrats, is that getting louder we are waiting how this resolution plays out. we will hear from another brand of health lawmakers about where they want to go from here after this resolution takes place. dana, that ll be happening in about an hour and half from now. we have heard quite a bit from democrats today. they have not been shying away from the cameras, trying to address this recent controversy. many are calling on republicans to join them in this resolution vote. here s what they had to say earlier today. i think a lot of americans believe that. certainly, congress believes that. donald trump is tearing us apart. democrats are fighting for the
policy. if we use two presidents declaring an emergency they can t get what they want from congress. it will be almost impossible to go back to checks and balances. the resolution vote on march 14th you decided to vote with the folks who stood up with the president. late in the stand with the 12 who voted against a national emergency. i am wondering what changed? there are three different issues here. the first is to be objectively have a crisis at the border? we do. we have spiking rates of drug trafficking, retinal between ports of entry if 4% grace in the last 24 months. is there a crisis? yes the president is right about that. does the president of the authority to declare a crisis in the circumstance? when you read the national emergency 1976, he does have that authority. that is a different question than whether that is a good law. that allows an emergency to be
