Thank you so much. Welcome to the beat for the rest offuous. I am katie phang in for ari melber. We start with flashing Warning Signs for american democracy at a Pivotal Moment in the American Campaign season. As of tonight President Biden and former President Trump have clenched the threshold for meeting they primaries. Its the earliest matchup in nearly a quarter of a century. In 2000 al gore and george w. Bush clenched their nominations just four days earlier than joe biden and donald trump. Of course, that election ended at the United States Supreme Court. And this election starts there. Trump set to make the unprecedented argument for total president ial immunity in his coup case next month, as accountability for january 6th rioters dpriends forward. Just today a federal judge ordering that a trump
Handful of swing states, its potentially those specific voters who will decide who wince. But maybe a better question to ask, who is the voter who voted for donald trump in 2020 but does not want to vote for him again in 2024. The New York Times and nbc have identified a batch of these very voters as have election pac Republican Voters against trump. Heres what some of them have to say. For the first time in over 50 year of voting in president ial elections, i will not vote republican. Im a twotime trump voter. Donald trump has shown that he has no regard for the laws of this country. Biden may not have policy that i agree with, but i know that democracy will be saved under biden. I voted for trump in the past elections. I cannot do it now. Trump is a gutless coward. Who would last five minutes in a combat zone. His character does not suit the presidency. I will no longer be voting for President Trump. Because trump wants to act like a dictator. At first listen, it sounds like great ne
That does it for me. Thank you so much for the privilege of your time. I hope to see you later tonight on nbc nightly news. Stay where you are, the The Katie Phang Show starts now. I am katie phang , live from Telemundo Studios in miami, florida here is the week that was. The u. S. Supreme court today unanimously ruled that states cannot remove former President Trump from their ballots. They call it Super Tuesday for a reason. Racking up primary wins across the country from california to maine nikki haley said to drop out after winning one state on Super Tuesday. Budget and is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. I hope he does not. In february, 2021 shortly after the attack on the capitol building, i said i would support former President Trump if he were the nominee of the party and he obviously will be the nominee of our party. I will leave the senate at the bottom of this year. In the bottom of my heart, thank you for
Have missed. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try and stop us, specific piece of Domestic Business they did not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the center floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President. They did this because they had been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. The one thing we cut off there, maybe its not fair is right after that, he broke into a rousing tune. Happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I couldnt believe it. But yeah. A little discordant, song didnt go with the message. But you know, thats mitch. Mitch mcconnell there, that was in 2021. It was a month after j

Moments ago, nbc news learned donald trump posted a bond of over 91 million in the e. Jean carroll case, just days before it was due on monday. Lets get right to msnbc legal analyst Glen Kirschner and our correspondent lisa rubin on the phone. Lisa, first, what do we know, what can you report . This morning, ana, alina habba, one of trumps lawyers, the lead lawyer in the e. Jean carroll case, filed a motion with the court to post a bond in the amount of 91 million and 630,000 as well. That represents the total amount that would be required to obtain a stay, pending appeal, in this case. The judgment as you will recall was 83. 3 million, usually a defendant has to post more than 100 of that to obtain the 630 necessary to protect the person who won as the case goes through appeal. But at this point, what trump has done, by posti
