glamping. fyi. inside politics better start right now. today on inside politics a big bet on new hampshire. nikki haley is crisscrossing the granite state making her case to as many voters as possible. stakes for the first primary are incredibly high but she s trying to keep expectations low. plus, chaos and bedlam, donald trump is warning that s what we can expect if the u.s. supreme court says states like colorado can rule that he s ineligible to run for. the for president. less time at the podium, more time ordering milkshakes, what to expect from president biden on the trail. we have new reporting on his campaign s attempt to highlight what they think is the president s best attribute, connecting with voters. i m dana bash. let s go behind the headlines and inside politics. we start in new hampshire where nikki haley is all over the map literally. she s holding six events in that state today and doing some tv interviews along the way. here s just part of h
carley: the battle is officially on, all three republican presidential candidate hitting the airwaves to bash each other four days out from first contest of the presidential primary season. we have chaos now, look today with hunter biden going into congress and just sitting down and the bedlam caused. today you have chaos. no drama, no whining, getting results and getting them done. i don t think president trump is right president to go forward. i appreciate what president trump did. be honest, he said he would build a wall and did not do that. he said he would drain the swamp, he did not deliver that. carley: you are watching fo fox and friends, i m carley shimkus. todd: i m todd piro. brooke singman will break down major moments starting with the former president s town hall last night. brooke. brooke: former president trump took part in the town hall in iowa and took aim at president biden and his opponents. watch this. look at joe biden, bedlam. a man who
is it over before it begins? i m michael smerconish in philadelphia. before a single primary vote has been cast, has donald trump already sown up the 2024 gop nomination, or is it still up for grabs? everybody has an opinion, but the data tells a pretty compelling story. peggy noonan in the wall street journal writing this week, i refuse to see the story is over. the voting begins now. after chris christie dropped out, the new york times wrote, the christie vote alone will probably not be enough, but haley has been steadily gaining in the polls and historically there s a lot of precedent for surging candidates to keep gaining, especially over a contest s final days. and new hampshire, which is second up, will be a wild card. independents can vote in the gop primary, and according to data released yesterday from gallup, 43% of americans consider themselves to be independent. the rs and ds are tied at 27. it ties a record for an independent showing, making them the largest
indictment. no one has made that allegation. at the end of the day, you have to weigh the damage of the indictment versus the damage of the allegations. it s just not even a fair way. senator marco rubio s evolution on donald trump s access to and handling of classified documents. yeah, i agree, it s not even a close call. you weigh whether you believe as the 11th circuit said that the foundational principle of this country, that no man is above the law, and you balance that against whatever marco was saying we should balance it against. and, you know, willie, i just you will notice you will notice of all of the noise out there, of all of the ground noise, nobody is saying he s innocent. nobody is saying he did not commit the crimes that will put him in jail for over a hundred years, if convicted on all things. i can t think of one person who has said this man did not do it. so what they say is what about hillary? i mean but they had a long time to do that.
open to an alternative in 204 with 14% saying they d support kennedy for the democratic nomination while a new harris poll finds that 63% of voters think the president would not be able to finish a second term if he was reelected and that vice president kamala harris would wind up taking over at some point. let s bring in wall street journal columnists dan henninger and kim strassel. so, dan, what do you think of joe biden s decision to run for a second term? i think that if in terms of the good of the country, it s a big mistake. for sure. in terms of joe biden s apparently boundless ambitions, if he thinks donald trump is going to be the opposition, he believes he can beat trump. paul: you think that s the main motivation for biden at this stage, beat trump? well, no. i think the main motivation is he likes to be president [laughter] paul: okay. air force one, all the rest of it. [laughter] his entire career was dedicated to this spot, and it s tough to give it up
