To address the remaining six appropriation bills, that includes contentious issues like funding for the pentagon and the department of homeland security. Welcome, everyone. Let go now to the decision 2024 and the tale of two vastly different candidates and almost identical geographical locations. President joe biden and former President Donald Trump both campaigning in the Swing State Of Georgia today at the unofficial start of the general election season. Biden will speak in atlanta this evening. His campaign is also launching a new ad in georgia, a critical swing state. Arizona, michigan, north carolina, nevada, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. And in it, biden acknowledges his age as he targets young voters. More on that coming up for you. Last night in his first speech since the State Of The Union address, he told voters in pennsylvania about his a compliment on jobs. 15 million new jobs in three years. That is a record in american history. Unemployment at a 50 year low. 800,000 new Ma
Tonight. Three american astronauts and a russian cosmonaut will be on board. In moments, a headline that, lets be honest, will not surprise you at all. Texas newspaper issues warning about secession. We will unpack this with texas congressman colin allred in a couple of minutes. Hi, everybody. Good to see you. Im coming to you live from msnbc World Headquarters here in new york. Welcome to alex witt reports. I am Yasmin Vossoughian in for my friend alex. We will begin this third hour with Breaking News. The Supreme Court says it will deliver rulings tomorrow. One of those rulings could involve a very closely watched case, Donald Trumps Ballot Access in colorado. I want to bring in Lawrence Hurly and former assistant d. A. The manhattan d. A. And msnbc legal analyst Catherine Christian as well. Lawrence, start us off. What do we know . Yeah, kind of a rare move for the court to announce so shortly ahead of time on a day that is not a regularly scheduled ruling day. There are lots of rea
In the primary calendar that in previous cycles has given us a clear indication of which candidates will win their parties president ial nomination. But this year, there is far less suspense. Both parties have already steered us to who their nominees will be, as biden and trump cruised through the early voting states. The republican president ial candidate nikki haley is still in the race, for now, but the expectations are low. These are the states voting today. The us territory of american samoa, also staging a democratic caucus, tuesday is also the last day for democrats in iowa to mail in their primary ballots. Almost a third of the delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday. On the republican side of the ledger, the winning candidate needs 1,215 delegates to capture the nomination. A clean sweep today would put donald trump within touching distance of the nomination. And if the polling is right, then the 2024 election will be the contest 70 of the country didnt want. Biden ver
The Appeals Court hearing on Donald Trumps Immunity Hearing has wrapped up. The threejudge appellant panel facing this big question can the former president be held criminally responsible for actions that he took while in office to overturn the 2020 election loss. We heard a remarkable argument from trumps team who heard the argument that prosecuting a former president would open up a pandoras box as john sauer said that working in the capacity as alleged in the indictment by jack smith, the Special Counsels office pushing back on that. This notion that we are all of the sudden going to be seeing a floodgate, i think that, again, the careful investigations in the clinton era didnt result in any charges. The fact that this investigation did doesnt reflect that we are going to see a sea change of vindictive titfortat prosecutions in the future. I think it reflects fundamentally unprecedented nature of the criminal charges here. Cnns evan perez joins us now. Evan, you were inside of that
welcome back to the weekend, everyone. we are beginning this hour with a late night court filing from donald trump s legal team. the filing argues that trump shouldn t be charged in the classified documents case because president biden was in charge and his case. this is true. i m going to quote from it. president biden will not be charged. president trump should not have been either. now, never mind that the special counsel made clear in his report that the two cases were wildly different. joining us now, january six investigator , also joining, former fbi general concert, andrew weizmann. he is the host of the msnbc podcast, prosecuting donald trump. greetings, everyone. you and i were on set to get there when the report broke. i do wonder if it was always inevitable that donald trump s lawyers were voting to cite this report as soon as it came out. also, talking about this specifically is a motion to compel discovery. i m curious why this becomes relevant and that ty
