Guys. I will tell you this is actually bad news for the Biden Campaign because, for a long time, they have been saying that the longer nikki haley stays in the race the better for them. You had a second person on the headlines in the airwaves who was slamming donald trump as a risk to democracy. That and is how the Biden Campaign has been framing their 2024 approach. Basically hammering on the threat to democracy that trump poses. Hearkening back to january 6th. Searing in peoples minds images of his efforts to overturn the election. And they have been more than happy to see nikki haley echoing some of their messaging. And having it get out and having voters express to them about about donald trump, republicans, expressing that they cant get behind the likely and presumptive nominee up until now. So, the other factor is that while the biden team knows that they win, if donald trump is in the race, thats how they see it, this is certainly unwelcomed news. I think they would have liked t
he is told he can testify before a grand jury investigating a hush money payment to an adult film star. is this a sign criminal charges are coming next? meantime, new 2024 polling from iowa puts trump at the top of the list in favorability. florida governor ron desantis right behind him, and making his first visit today to the state is a possible contender. we re live from iowa. new developments in the kidnapping and killing of americans in mexico. what the drug cartel blamed for the violence is now claiming in a new letter. and another devastating storm system in the forecast. heavy snow in the chicago area, and in california, a fear of flooding as people are still trapped. and we re keeping a very close eye on the white house, where president biden is expected to speak at any moment on the better than expected february jobs report. we ll bring you those remarks when they begin. there you see our live shot at the white house. the president expected to speak any momen
office. is that a growing threat? is that why they re afraid to speak out against him? because he ll just take his people, run an independent campaign, split the vote, and elect joe biden again? there are some in the republican party who worry that could happen. we just discussed, he s got that solid floor of support that s not going anywhere. but i think most feel like it s still fairly unlikely. if he were to leave, wouldn t be raising money anymore, paying his legal bills. there are lots of reasons why he has tethered himself to the gop and would be difficult to separate himself at least to have any chance of winning and not having to spend a lot of his own money, which we know he is loathe to do. people around trump who i have spoken to in the last week or so are deeply frustrated. they re not surprised. he has backed himself into a corner. one of trump s cardinal rules, if you say nice things about me, i like you, i m going to support you. another rule is never apologize,
so what you basically did was, you saw a perfect split almost right down the middle of the trump wing of the party there that allows mcsally to come up and win. it is. 24-point margin over ward. trump wing versus non-trump, almost at 50/50. the biggest factor in the race for mcsally, arpaio got in the race, split the vote well and looking ahead to the general election, arizona, look 30shgs ye30shgs 30 years. kirsten sinema up over mcsally. the best position a democrat s been in 30 years. hard to project now, steve, but in the florida governor s race, obvious lly one to be closely watched across the country. right now who would you put as the early favorite in that race? somebody, believe it or not. two polls have been taken in that matchup of gillum versus
pote potent. i believe the parties have failed, the duopoly is broken. i don t necessarily say that s a good thing. what he s talking about, quotes in his reporting and the concept is this a gatekeeper, that this kind of filter provided by the parties ends up creating stability because they aren t always informed. combine that with someone who doesn t do any retail politicking to earn votes, is just a media sensation like donald trump, they come in and this is what the fear is will happen on the democratic side in 2020, if it they give the power back to the people and they and we completely get rid of the smoke-filled room that allowed hillary clinton to definitely stamp out bernie sanders in 2016, is that you will have a spoiler come in, super liberal, not someone that is going to be that the country is going to choose, ultimately, allow a donald trump victory again in 2020, because the establishment democratic candidates will all split the vote and then the superprogressive perso
