msnbc political analyst elise georgia jordan. reporter: let s have a show of hands. who is going to vote in the primary? everyone s going to vote in the primary. who is going to vote for brian kemp? i m undecided. i m undecided, too. is anyone definitely going to vote for david perdue? i m more leaning that way. reporter: why are you leaning that way? because perdue is a true businessman and we need somebody who knows how to run a business and i think if he had that ability, you can run a state because a state is a business. despite an enthusiastic support are here and there, purdue has been all but abandoned by trump. according to several republicans who have spoken to him, he is ready to wash his hands of the georgia primary and distance himself from perdue before the votes are even counted. instead donald trump appears to be focused on his candidate in the too close to call republican senate primary in pennsylvania. tv s dr. oz is holding on to a razor th
It s not part of it because it invaded ukraine in 2014, and took over crimea. so, vlad ripon is not there, volodymyr zelenskyy is. there s just some kind of poetic justice to the fact that volodymyr zelenskyy is sitting around with the leaders of the world and glenn reporting is not there. you are so right. not so many years ago, we would been watching putin descend those airplane stairs. now, this year, zelenskyy. this doesn t just happen. it happens because ukraine, led by president zelenskyy, is having diplomacy on steroids. traveling on the world. i think i heard that he s traveled 10,000 miles in the last week alone. not only visiting european allies, but also the middle east, parts of asia now. so, where he s meeting with brazil and india as well. so, i think we can see the results of that very effective campaign.
He responded, take a listen. we have had multiple conversations with ukrainians. about the risk of escalation here. nobody wants to see world war iii. and we have made it clear, we re not going to encourage ukraine to strike inside russian territory. ali, i want to go back to a really good point that you made, which is that we had seen the president resist this for months. we know president zelenskyy s been asking for these jets for over a year now. this is a bit of a pattern for the united states. they said they re not going to send weaponry and then they change their mind. we saw this most recently with the abrams tanks. for example. the question is, what message does this send? does it send a message that if you ask long enough, if you ask forceful enough, ultimately, the u.s. will comply. as you said, president zelenskyy is here in person. that is hugely significant, last year, he was addressing the leaders virtually. he ll be here in person,
The american people, what the stakes are. this is a war about ukraine, its sovereignty and territorial territory. it s also about much more. it s about global security. that s what volodymyr zelenskyy told us. back in december, when he addressed congress. he said, investing, insisting ukraine, is not a charity, it s investing a global security. that s exactly right. so, joe biden in 20 years may be remembered as the u.s. president who brought russia to its knees and reunited nato. but you were americas main person in ukraine. you are the face of america to ukraine. until a former united states president decided to interfere in ukraine s issues, in a way that was inappropriate. i only bring this up because that could happen again. there is not a guarantee that america s support for both nato in ukraine will sustain if joe biden is not the president of united states in 2024. yeah, that s absolutely
