I truly believe that america is ready to turn the page on the politics of division and hate.
Polling that come out, both the national polls and the swing state polls. Are generally telling the same story right now, they re telling a story that vice president kamala harris is doing significantly better against donald trump than president biden had been doing in his campaign. That is comparatively good news for the democrats. They are, apparently, better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch from biden to harris. That said, in absolute terms, the polls, national polls, and the swing state polls, broadly speaking, don t really give either party a reason to celebrate right now. Vice president harris may be doing better than biden was against trump, but it doesn t mean that she is clearly winning against trump. It s basically a tie between the two candidates right now.

partially correct. if, in fact, putin was hoping that one of the effects of him invadingef ukraine would be a brush back to nato, that he would be able to worry less aboute nato and somehow starti this war s would make that happ, sorry. when putin invaded ukraine there were 30 i countries in nato. now there are about to be 32. finland was the 31st country to join in april. that gave russia 800 more miles of border directly with a nato country. and now as of tonight we know that sweden is going to join natoat as well. sweden said months ago that they wanted to join, but this is something that really until today looked like it couldn t happen and that s because for a new country to join nato, it has to be a unanimous decision. all the nato countries have to agree with h the decision, if o country doesn t agree it doesn t happen. and inre the case of sweden it s an original nato it was a nato w member, a single nato country,in turkey, that said no. they saidid finland was okay
the election. and this is been an absolutely huge newsday. in nevada, votes are being counted in the states primaries. in washington, speaker mike johnson led an embarrassing supply of setbacks will not one, but two failed votes. and in michigan, we got a groundbreaking verdict tied to mass shootings in this country. but first, the biggest story of them all. a panel of federal judges, excuse me, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled donald trump is not immune from prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election. my colleague laura jarrett has all the details. reporter: former president donald trump today dubbed citizen trump by a three judge panel in washington, ruling mr. trump is not immune from prosecution. the court saying we cannot accept that the office of the presidency places its former occupants above the law for all- time thereafter. the trump campaign saying he will appeal the decision. trump himself by morning the ruling, saying a president of the
invade ukraine because he felt very shy about nato. the nato alliance just had too many countries and it, too many countries that were too close to russia, and that all gave putin this terrible feeling about nato being too close and therefore he had to invade ukraine. again, i don t actually think that is it i don t think we know all the reasons why does what he does, who knows what is going on in his dictator heart of hearts. but if in fact the apologists are at least partially correct, if in fact putin was hoping that one of the effects of him invading ukraine would be a brush back to nato, that he would be worry last about nato and somehow starting this war would make that happen, sorry. when putin invaded ukraine there were 30 countries and nato. now there are about to be 32. finland was the 31st country to join in april, that gave russia 800 more miles of border directly with a nato country and now, as of tonight, sweden is going to join nato as well. screen said months
