see what happens. samantha jo, stay with us. we ll have a lot more. as we have been reporting a sunday afternoon steinert shakes up the race for the white house florida governor desantis has dropped out of the republican presidential primary race 48 hours the polls open in new hampshire. this is continuing coverage of this bombshell political announcement here on f fox news channel. this is fox news live i m eric shawn. arthel: hello eric, hello everyone i am arthel neville it is now officially a two-person race between a former president donald trump and former un ambassador nikki haley. this is a stunning turn of events fort desantis who was seen as the strongest challenger to trump when he first launches campaign for desantis finished nearly 30 points behind trump in the iowa caucuses and is pulling a distant third place in new hampshire. now he had planned to focus on the south carolina primary next month and said he would not continue to run if he did not see a path forw
delaying desantis s big announcement and driving away most of the audience before he could get a word out. todd: doug luzader live in washington. doug: this is a first, live on twitter space platform, delayed for 20 minutes, as the host, including twitter ceo elon musk, had to vamp. i m pleased to introduce to individuals who have done more to all right, sorry about that, we ve got so many people here that i think we are melting the twitter verse, which is a good sign. let s see. we on? yeah, i think so. doug: the biden campaign mocked the rollout and former president trump called it a disaster. but desantis thought it was demonstration of the governor s popularity and later appearing on fox news, desantis tried to turn the focus back to president biden. we know the country is on the wrong track and we have a president who is listless vessel, not energetic and not dealing with key challenges facing our country. this does not have to be this way, our decline is n
and huge data point or argument for more time for joe biden inor the white house. yes, probably. thank you, my friend. president biden was in normandy today commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day, and while he was there he was asked about something totally unrelated, whether he would issue a pardon for his son hunter if the federal jury in delawarefe convicts the youngerf felony gun possession. here s how president biden responded. as ween sit here in normandy your son hunter is on trial, and i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution, but let me ask you will you accept the jury s outcome, their verdict no matter what itdi is? yes. and have you ruled out a pardon for yourself? yes. pretty clear answer there, but again this is a yes or no question, and to be honest shouldn t be that hard to answer. joe biden as president with the power to pardon anyone he wants at the federal level will let his son go to prison if he is found guilt
i think the police do an incredible job. trump s black people love me because i m a convict argument is as absurd as it is insulting to people of color, but the notion trump s suffering at the hands of the criminal justice system mirrors the suffering faced by people of color in the criminal justice system, well, that notion has become a real thing inside the republican party. here s north carolina republican congressman dan bishop talking about trump s conviction earlier this week. the people who are engaging in selective prosecution, vindictive prosecution using it. and when i say it s rigged it s they go into a place where they know the fight is unfair. it s as bad as it was in alabama in 1950 if you were a person who was black. that argument is not just an ill-advised talking point, it is
the poll numbers that show donald trump 30 points ahead. if that is the case, you are starting your campaign on a disingenuous lie. neither is a good look and plays into donald trump s hands of this guy is not ready for prime time, no matter which way you cut it. interesting to see if that notion trump will seize upon grows the numbers or if people want an alternative to trump and you will see the numbers go up and trump go down. ashley: just being organized. this was a huge time for desantis to prove whether or not his team was organized or not. i was fascinated with what kayleigh mcenany said yesterday. she said the trump team is super organized, even more organized now than in 2016. give them the benefit of the
