tamika former obama campaign advisor and surrogate and surrogate for warren s presidential campaign. welcome to the program for the first time. mark, good to see you. let s start with where the president is tamika, in terms of answering questions about the tough times, the tough investigations going on. do you just get out there or do you stay silent? what s good strategy here? you know, thank you for having me. i think the present is focusing on what he is elected to do. at some point there will have to be as he gets more into the campaign and certainly with the new developments today on russia and other things he will have to take some questions. you know, he has taken questions and karine jean-pierre has pointed it out. the frustration is he is not answering as many questions as the reporters like at the time they want him to do it. harris: a quick follow-up
of the united states s authority as the leader of the free world that we are just allowing this to happen with china in the lead. harris: let s get to this. house oversight committee getting access to bank records which directly connect several biden family members to hunter biden s sketchy overseas business deals. the big three networks spent 0 time, 0 minutes on that story after yesterday s revelation that the president s daughter-in-law received cash from china. not one reporter that the press secretary called on asked about it. here is how a shouted question went. i will see you. thank you. question about biden s harris: tamika. your response to that. i m sorry, i couldn t really hear. were you asking me that
included in a poll. i m right here on the ground in south carolina. the state that made president obama and biden president. the folks are really excited about the election campaign because they feel like the president biden has delivered on the promises. i m not sure exactly who those folks are, the folks i m talking to are ready to hit the ground and whether he has an opponent or not in the primary we ll be ready. you look at the numbers, matt. it is amazing. even if some of those people really as tamika says don t know who they are. let s give him 18% or 20% and kamala harris 3%. devastating numbers, matt. they are. i have think democrats and joe biden would be a lot more comfortable handing over the reins to kamala harris if she wasn t an underachiever. she just a terrible politician candidly.
i think that it is very important to focus on the needs of the american people and not political chatter out of washington, d.c. democrats on the hill have been rushing to the president s defense in recent weeks. bernie sanders on his 2020 opponent. i think he is a much more progressive president than he was a united states senator. i can t speak for other people. there is a general consensus right now that president biden has done not everything we would like. he has done a good job. if he runs, i will support him. the power panel now, matt gorman former nrc communications director and a former campaign advisor. tamika when you look at the numbers and have 12% who want the president on the ticket those are alarm bells. your thoughts. you know, i would say my thoughts on that is there are a lot of people that are not
