not tolerate an assault on our government. with donald trump off another ballot, his rivals rally behind him. this should be decided by the voters of the united states. it should not be decided by courts. pressure grows on the supreme court. how will the justices shape the 2024 race. plus, walk back. the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run. yes, of course, the first thing i should have said was slavery. nikki haley stumbles and her opponents pounce. this is not a candidate that is ready for prime time. but just weeks before voting begins, is there time to catch up? and breaking point. this is unacceptable. i m not seeing the light aft the end of the tunnel. with border crossings at a historic high, will washington finally act. inside politics, the best reporting from inside of the corridors of power, starts now. good morning and welcome to inside politics sunday. i m brianna keilar in for manu raju. is donald trump
