how donald trump is ahead of hill in five key swing states, that in a new york times poll. biden consider dropping out of the race, such as former obama campaign strategist and white house official david axelrod. the issue is not for him is not political it is actual and you can see that in this poll and there s just a lot of concern about the age issue. it just has to ask himself is is this the best path? the cnn serving as brutal trump and among younger votes and independents, and the former president winning 23% of the black vote and 46% of the latino vote. and this gut punch only a quarter of americans say the 80-year-old biden has stamina and sharpness to serve effectsively as president no way biden is withdrawing from race and polls one year out a cloudy crystal ball, now trump has his own baggage with all of the indictments and civil fraud trial, and somehow helping him among republicans. meeting so riled up they re running more stories warning about the danger
the judge could decide to say, house arrest or even jail. how do you face what look like? one of my lawyers on the television the other day said you don t want to do that to the president. you don t bed for anything, that s just the way it is. and trump s a lawyer also on the talk shows today outlining the defense appeal and strategy and why is changing his position on judge merchan s jury instructions. i think when you look at the jury instructions here, judge merchan essentially, i wouldn t say it rigged the deliberations, but certainly steered the jury toward the verdict that he clearly wanted when the jury it was against you, the judge made a mistake? i hope for the best plan for the worst, george. and stormy daniels, the actress at the heart of the case is breaking her silence. in her first interview since the verdict, she said she wants to see trump jailed or used as a punching bag at a women s shelter. completely out of touch with reality. you have to fi
plagued the president in lots of different ways. we re going to see what happens next here. there was a delegation of diplomats set to meet with the national security adviser today, this afternoon, to talk about the hostages that are from their countries. we also know that there was a delegation slated to go to the middle east next week as well to engage in some more talks and conversations around a deal coming together, and so the administration still has this very robust presence in trying to make this happen, and we ll be looking to see whether there s a response to any degree from hamas in the days to come. aaron gilchrist, thank you for that. claire mccaskill, i want to go to you. i want to talk about the president s statements, they were forceful but brief on donald trump s trial and conviction. you spent many years in the senate. if i m remembering correctly, you were on the armed services committee, homeland security committee. this is an area of the world that yo
sure, but really the slice of the electorate that biden needs to reach. i think that s totally plausible, yes. the difference maker, tiktok, that s where we are, 2024. thank you, my friend. today the jurors in donald trump s hush money case began deliberating, and while we have no idea what they will decide, trump himself and his conservative apologists are already setting their expectations. what did i say from the beginning of this trial? donald trump cannot get a fair trial in new york city regardless of the outcome. to me, should be an acquittal. but i m not a new york liberal. i really hope donald trump gets acquitted. and if he does, it will be a miracle because of how loaded this judge has been from the start. mother teresa could not beat these charges. these charges are rigged. the whole thing is rigged. trump and his promoters are falsely claiming that the whole trial was rigged. they are priming their audience for a guilty verdict. but again, nobod
will be back in the room right now seeing a news night with abby. phillip starts the jury is deciding donald trump s fate and he is invoking mother teresa. that s tonight on newsnight good evening. i m abby phillip new york tonight. a jury of 12 men and women are considering whether to make donald trump, the first former president to be convicted of a crime after receiving instructions from the judge today, they deliberated for more than four hours and then they send back to notes. you ll hear what those notes were in just a moment and we ll discuss the significance of each of them. but first, you heard the prosecution and the defense making their closing arguments this week, the jury is deliberating over those right now. but now donald trump is making his own closing argument in the court of public opinion. it won t come as a surprise to you that it needs a hell of a lot of fact-checking i mean, what is very unfair as it i m not campaigning. did this room all day from
