politics sunday with manu raju next on cnn hello. >> i have never seen the republican party so unified as it is ripe >> that >> haley vows to stay in a woman of my work. >> while trump turns dark, i am a dissident. success >> will be are revenge >> and 11th hour putin games everyday that ukraine does not get the resources it needs a speaker. >> johnson feels the heat as a shutdown looms. >> you either secure the border are you get no money for the government? >> plus, i'm on a mission to change congress exclusive reporting on what johnson and trump discussed at mar-a-lago and ivf on the ballot
8:02 am
>> i was shocked. ivf is so personal. >> democrats lean in >> abortion, isn't just on the ballot and a handful of states this year is on the ballot for every person in this country three this year. >> as >> republicans scramble inside politics, the best reporting from inside the corridors of power starts now the morning and welcome to inside politics sunday, i'm manu raj. donald trump, once again trounced nikki haley. but once again, haley says she's not going anywhere. now, the former two charles south carolina governor just lost by more than 20 points in her home state and this is the fourth state where trump has won by double digits. and this time doing so despite being outspent by $15 million on air. yet in speaking to cheering supporters last night, haley continued to offer this warning to our party we need to be joe biden in november i
8:03 am
don't believe donald trump can beat joe biden nearly every day. trump drives people away could she be right now despite trump running the table with very conservative voters in this conservative state, there are warning signs for his >> likely general election candidacy. that's the race trump is now focused on as he tries to paint a dark vision of president biden's america now cnn's kristen holmes has been traveling with the former president and she's in columbia, south carolina. kristin, how is trump world dealing with nikki haley's staying in this race? >> well, my know, it depends if you mean privately or publicly, because privately they're all still very annoyed that nikki haley is staying in this race, but internally as well as publicly, the messaging is the same as you said, it is time to start focusing on a general election. they've had for
8:04 am
resounding wins, almost every contest on the horizon for the primary season then it has trump as the favorite. they need a campaign reset looking ahead to november. now before i get excoriated for talking about some sort of trump presidential pivot that is not at all what i'm talking about. his team is very aware of who he is. he is going to continue to say and do whatever he wants. i am talking about a campaign restructure in terms of building out infrastructure luxor, and in terms of building out messaging. now infrastructure that means building out their teens in critical battleground states like michigan, like arizona, like georgia, messaging, it means focusing more on president joe biden than anything else. you saw a little bit of that from the former president last night in his speech when he didn't mention nikki haley once focusing those attacks on the president. >> but even his senior advisers that they had no idea who's going to go after haley or not when he got up on that stage, all they could do was tell him, please don't go after nikki, haley >> and just focus on the general. now, you mentioned this. there are certainly warning signs ahead of a general election for donald trump, despite all of these
8:05 am
resounding winds, that is why his team believed they have to focus on the general election. now, they have to get into these communities. they have to get every single vote that they possibly can. they are very aware that donald trump is a polarizing figure and that this is going to be a long road ahead of them if they want to win in november. >> yeah. and one reason why he didn't say anything, but nikki haley, he came up before almost immediately after the race let's call it. she waited until later in the 08:00 hour. i tend to guess if she went first, he would have responded to over that's just maybe just an educated guess. thank you. >> kristen holmes for that report. we're going to break this all down with my great panel this morning. that's seung min kim, white house reporter for the associated press, john bresnahan, co-founder for punchbowl news and cnn's national political reporter, steve contorno. good morning to you guys. all it's been a busy morning and late nights for those of us to recovering the race. steve, despite trump's when we did learn a lot about his
8:06 am
vulnerabilities is standing, has viability as a general election candidate, going to dig a little bit into the numbers here. so because there were interesting exit poll numbers about what this means going forward, trump, haley supporters 76 of haley's supporters would be dissatisfied if trump were the nominee. and same question to the same haley's supporters at 2% would not believe he is fit for the presidency if he were convicted of a crime. now, she took almost 40% in her home state, but that is not a majority but still clearly a concern for trump's team realizing that there's a sizable amount of people who aren't really vote for. absolutely. and 74% said that he would not be mentally fit to serve as well. so he clearly, you have an every state so far we're republicans have weighed in. you have seen a sizable number of them. say, look, we don't want trump. and especially interesting in south carolina, because coming into
8:07 am
the yesterday so much the narrative was that what is her path to victory? is she actually still competitive in this race and yet 40% of people still felt compelled enough to come out and vote for someone other than donald trump? and now, obviously these are great signs for nikki haley. h is you have to explain to her supporters in these upcoming states, as well as her donors what her path is. but there are some warning signs for donald trump as well. yeah. it's interesting the different universe of republican voters that are out there. exist in who trump goes for, and the people that are not supporting him just look at how the south carolina electorate, republican electorate about where it asks the question, do you think biden legitimately won in 2020? of course, he did. haley's supporters said the 76%, yes. just 11% of trump supporters believe joe biden legitimately one, right? >> right. and if you're someone if you're a republican voter or someone who participated in the primary last night who believed that joe biden did win the election as he did, you're more likely
8:08 am
to vote for haley. so you're seeing all of these in the data last night that cnn did as well as the api you're seeing all of these ways where haley still has, you, basically, you see why nikki haley is still staying in the race. she sees a big part of the at least a sizable part of the republican party who cannot support trump in any way, who, who is turned off by his his his, his, his rhetoric, his criminal liabilities, his any other issues that he has. and if you're looking at for >> something, if you're looking for something that's been consistent across a lot of the the early contests. one in five primary, one in five republican primary voters, according to afp vote cast, our survey of voters first in these early states, say they would not support trump in a general election. that is a huge warning sign for trump. and he has to figure out a way to make that appeal across to moderate voters, to swing voters, which nikki haley has done a good job on. but trump certainly has it. >> and you talk to republicans all the time, how concerned are they about his general election
8:09 am
viability? on the hill? they're very concerned. they've got lucky. they have a great senate map in 202044 to win back the senate. >> so talk about later in the show and it makes me stay duty >> and what they're gonna be places, you know, michigan, pennsylvania where they're senate races, where there how phrases for republicans but these are presidential states, states trump needs. can he appeal to voters in those states and then help their candidates? and of course, they've got the house, houses up for grabs and that's a national election and mesh, it's a series of 435 national races and they're very concerned my trump bringing in its how, what his message is going to be in the general election and how that whether the party is going to embrace that message you were at cpac yesterday. trump would painting a rather dark vision of america as he tried to rile up his base i stand before you today, not only as your past and hopefully
8:10 am
future president, but as a proud >> political dissident, i am a dissident november 5th will be our new liberation day. but for the liars and cheaters and fraudsters, and sensors and impostors who have commandeered our government. it will be their judgment day they were eating that up lesser day, but that's the very hard-core base. but how does that translate in a general exactly that's gonna be the question. and he said last year he said at cpac, i am your retribution this year, he said success will be are revenge. so, you know, sort of changing the terms a little bit. but, but when you say judgment day for our opponents is it's coming and that's how you're going to cast the november election. how, what does that mean about reaching toward the middle and some of these moderate voters and even some republicans, i was in talking to folks in nevada ahead of that caucus there and there are repub, long time republicans there who don't fit in with that magnification of the party, who
8:11 am
are looking for all turnitin, they're considering rfk junior because they don't feel like the maga part of this party represents them anymore. >> and >> of course it's always things that trump says that he has to clean up or just his party has to clean up. >> he claimed never know exactly he said about when he was speaking to black supporters about his own criminal charges and why he thinks they support them because of it >> we've all seen the mug shot and you know who embraced it more than anybody else. the black population, it's incredible. i got indicted for nothing. then i got indicted a second time, third time, and a fourth time. >> and a lot of >> people said that that's why the black people like because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. they actually viewed me as i'm being distributed the answer is that something else? >> now, look at south carolina exit polls. i just wanted to just point to this point though, because it's been about
8:12 am
a fight about electability. electable or not, south carolina exit poll voters believed that trump is more electable then haley, even though she had been making, she's been outspent by 15 million bucks in her own state. she could not convince her own voters that he was unelectable, right? >> right. and if you're looking at just sort of the national head to head polling where you're looking at nikki haley versus joe biden and donald trump versus joe biden, obviously, way too far out way too early, but it is not a question that nikki haley has done better in the head-to-head against joe biden than donald trump, which is why electability has been sort of her calling card throughout the campaign. she hasn't been able to she hasn't been able to persuade republican primary voters of that just yet. and we were all remembering when republicans would fall in line where democrats would fall in love. it's been the reverse. republicans are the ones who are falling in love with their candidates even though they don't really, even though there's so many signals that this could be really problematic in a november election. >> and i just want to put on your screens, viewers know what
8:13 am
is next in the primaries. it's haley is not getting our first next, haley's next week, that she's still he says he's not getting out. she's in michigan today. she's going to be trying to campaign that ahead of tuesday. you see also trump's cord and can court issues as well. and but also the primaries. february 27th is next primary all the way to march 25, super tuesday is going to be obviously the big question for her. >> can she win any >> state in super tuesday? but the delegate math, maybe two much for her come mid bar. yeah. and this was something that the desantis camp when i was covering them was confronting over and over again, which is this question of there are so many unknowns about donald trump. and as long as you have money, why not stay in the race and give yourself a chance? so if there is something that happens, same if, if suddenly one of these legal issues sticks in the minds of voters in a way that it hasn't yet. does that give you can obviously they made the calculation that that wasn't enough for them, but i note the haley folks must be considering
8:14 am
that as well. yeah. >> it's the money game. we'll see if you decide how long she does to stay in the map, maybe just too much far as we have to get out. >> okay. up next my exclusive new reporting in the mar-a-lago meeting between donald trump and speaker johnson. >> but >> first, please, for ukraine aid are falling on deaf ears in the gop and snl points the finger at donald trump i've been pushing for ukraine funding for the past six months. it's essential to american security and trump just killed it with one phone call. the man doesn't care about this country. one iota >> sometimes i think he's downright dangerous >> and you just endorsed him, right? >> yeah. thank >> united states of scandal with jake tapper tonight at nine on cme handcraft every sterns and foster using the finest materials like indulgent memory foam and ultra conforming inner springs for a beautiful mattress and

8:19 am
amount of victory depends on you, on our pod noise all know exactly nor on the western world will be strong enough with weapons we won't lose this war. we will win this war. >> i have >> hope about us congress me off patent, and i'm sure modi positive that it would be a positive solution that has me. otherwise, i don't understand which world we're living so what will speaker johnson do? he has said he won't take up the sentence 95 billion aid package that includes money for ukraine, israel, and taiwan slamming that plan because it lags border security provisions. yet he killed a bipartisan border deal because he and trump said it did not go far enough. and this is also johnson's reality. if he puts a bill on the floor to send billions to ukraine, conservative hardliners already warning they will force a vote to oust him from a job he has held for just four months. and
8:20 am
now there's this. some top republicans are calling on johnson to put a ukraine aid package on the floor keeping open the option of signing and to eat democratic led effort to force a vote in circumventing leadership known on capitol hill is a discharge petition >> my hope is that my republican leadership will make the right decision. but it on the floor for a vote. and when they do that, it will pass no pass by a wide majority. >> will you sign a disc charged petition, mr. mchenry >> i've not seen one presented. mine who i've not seen not ruling that out. john bresnahan what the halls talking to members of the time house republicans how does johnson play this? because he has indicated he is in no concern to move ahead. he is facing pressure on both sides. does he ignore it or ultimately, get jammed by those members in his own party? >> it's very hard to get a discharge petition through. you have to buck your leadership
8:21 am
when we're in people talk about all the time and i'm having one time i can remember it became phone call. yeah. and that was as 18 years ago or something johnson says, he wants border security stuff and he's also focused on making sure the government doesn't shut down what you're going to happen soon unless they pass spending bills. i look i think it's i think there's a lot of emotional support for ukraine. is there a lot of political support those are two different things. enough republicans, i don't know. and especially now, trump is clearly the nominee or you're going to be the nominee for the republicans. he's against more ukraine funding. if he comes out and says something now, it just makes it harder for members borers who are, who wanted support ukraine, but can't afford to cross trump to do it. >> that's cpac. the only subject that was criticized and booed more than joe biden perhaps was funding for ukraine. and you saw leaders like senator jd vance who have very anti ukraine funding positions celebrated there. so yes, just shows you where the
8:22 am
base is. there's no appetite there for more ukraine funding, but meantime, there's been all this frustration within the house gop conference about speaker johnson's decision-making. he is dealing with e's got a whole long list of agenda items by the way, there is another government shutdown deadline. this friday. this will be the fourth time, and they extend government funding. they would have to do that. remember, they're supposed to do this on october 1st. they have not been able to do that, but they have faced two more deadlines, march versus march aids give the government open, then they have all of these other issues and people don't really quite know how he's going to deal with this as he deals with these pressures internally. and there's so much frustration you talked to any member about it, especially the ones who are aligned with kevin mccarthy, many of them will give you this kind of responses. garret graves gave to me recently how do you think speaker johnson is doing in this job right now, given all the challenges he's had on the floor the entire >> when he's getting tired of
8:23 am
winning it. look comic was congresswoman the republican conference told our colleague haley talbot on the hill on friday, asked about government funding she said that she's been a little bit in the dogs. its use as do you feel you have been left in the dark? she said absolutely. >> the law members just don't >> know how to answer is going to deal with these issues, right? >> right. and i think wow, you know why you do hear a lot from the loud voice in the party who want this bottom-up process, who want to dictate what the leadership actually decides. i think it's fair to say that the vast majority of house republicans want to be led by their speaker. they want to know what the strategy is and they're not getting that from speaker johnson just yet, i think a lot of it a it's his leadership style which he's still creating with this war months on the job, i think he's a lawyer. he speaks in a very precise way. a lot of times republicans are left having a different impression than maybe what johnson meant to give during private meetings. but certainly speaker johnson is facing a really difficult when you're talking about two government shutdown
8:24 am
deadlines coming up, you're talking about this continued tussle but with ukraine aid and he's also made it pretty clear that ukraine aid in terms of priority, comes after these government shutdowns and you're hearing all of these warnings coming from abroad about ammunition running out, about the capabilities of ukraine's military being affected. and you've also seen the rhetoric from the white house become much, much more strong on this, including from president biden. he's basically said that's borderline i criminals to not aid ukraine, not continue to at every sunday show this morning making the case against speaker johnson. now what's also is the pressure internally within his own conference you heard from patrick mcenry as a congressman is retiring the chairman who's a temporary speaker, you'll recall after kevin mccarthy was ousted and he is making very clear, i talked to him a little bit more in depth about johnson's challenges in his handling of all these issues. and this is how he responded >> we need to get into the mode of getting things done, not putting things and pushing off in the future future. or where did you about the shutdown? in
8:25 am
fact, that you guys are coming back here with only three days to avoid one. >> we can avoid it, but it's time to get on with the deal rather than the other and we can do it with the problem is he'd been just too indecisive. is that your view of things? >> we need the speaker to be better >> as a house republican i want him to succeed. >> was it a good idea from to kill the bipartisan senate border deal? >> look, i think you have to bank policy wherever and whenever you can get it. >> thank you. bank policy wherever and whenever you can get it or not, he suggests perhaps he should have taken a different approach on all these issues. >> but it's easy for him now because he's retiring johnson is not a boat well, he still has a vote. listen, they punted something again today. they punted faa, they look like they're going to punt they're supposed to reauthorize that by the federal aviation missionary, supposed to reauthorize it by the end of two weeks. they're going to punt into domain. now, look, johnson is isolated in some
8:26 am
ways in his own leadership. he doesn't, he doesn't go to them for advice. it's hard to figure out who he's actually talking to but i think and then he's got trump whispering in his ear. he just was spent time with trump the other day so like i think it's very difficult. i think johnson is the personification of the split in the republican party and the whole house republican conference. and there are torn their joint between the trump element and the old republican party, and they don't know which way to go. and that's why 14 months and this congress, the house has been a disaster the whole time and it's gonna, it's feels like it's going to keep that of course one of the big questions which is about how, what are they going do with biden's impeachment, right? >> like this. that is still hovering. they don't have the votes for that. hunter biden is coming behind closed doors, but there's pressure to impeach. but how does he deal? does it keep this looming over the present is invested? gauging. they actually call for a vote that could fail, which could be a disastrous political consequences for them. all complicated calculations for the speaker. we'll see how he deals with it. >> all right, that news >> conference with ukrainian
8:27 am
president zelenskyy is still continuing. and as you saw, our kaitlan collins, is there so more on that coming up on cnn up next how did a yelling match between matt gaetz and a fellow republican lead to this meeting between mike johnson and donald trump. my exclusive reporting on what went down in mar-a-lago last week vegas the story of sin city 109810 on cnn. >> i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. now, they're sky rizzi. things are looking afghans him control and means everything to me >> feel significant symptom relief at four weeks with sky rosie, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements. sky rosie is the first il-23 inhibitor that can deliver remission and visibly improved we've damage of the intestinal lining and the majority of people experienced long-lasting remission at one year. >> serious allergic reactions

closed captioning bronchi by meso book.com >> mesothelial mom. it's all we do with local offices throughout the country on just how you get the compensation you deserve. >> eight over two to 44, 44 speaker mike johnson was on a mission when he arrived in mar-a lago last week convinced former >> president trump to endorse illinois congressman mike bost in his reelection bid. one day later, johnson got his wish, trump back boston that race, instead of his maga aligned challenger darren bailey who was endorsed by matt gaetz. my new reporting with melanie zanona dives inside that meeting. how the speaker is leveraging his relationship with trump as a former president maintains his tight grip on the house gop, and i'm congressional primaries across
8:32 am
the country now the case also illustrates the continued anger at matt gaetz from his move to oust kevin mccarthy from the speakership in the fall. in fact, his vendetta against paul seems stems back to that time when, according to sources, also lunged at gaetz in a closed-door meeting after gaetz was shouting at mccarthy and gop members were yelling back at gaetz. and so just before trump endorsed bossed gaetz flew to illinois to rally for bosses challenger more i'm sure it was the argument we had during the speakers today. and you know what he's not liked in my district. matter of fact, it may gain me votes by him coming as matt does. he wants to be the center of attention. and that's why he does the things like he's doing right now to me, if my boss think i was speaking too loudly and republican conference in washington, wait till you hear me inherent illinois boy, i'll be speaking a lot more loudly than but this isn't personal. it's about the policy issues upon which we disagree. and if someone else has a personal issue, i don't fight it's,
8:33 am
things out with my fists and some sort of strange brawl. i fight with my words. >> he says it's not personal. it is really about tactics which has been this increasing divide within the gop, about how to pursue their objectives here, gaetz, part of the wing that does not necessarily always align with the leaders. been say the least, but this is oh, here. further explain his mission. as he says, trying to change congress >> i'm on a mission to change congress. and i can't do it with the people who are currently here. i've come to that conclusion, so i need new people. i need better people. i need better options in a lot of these republican primaries. and i'll be traveling the country to try to get more people elected. >> you have florida man >> what do you think >> about matt gaetz is efforts here? >> well, it's funny because >> i also covered the illinois state house. i've covered representative boss there and he it is known there as a bit of a hothead and matt gaetz is an instigator. so i guess it's not surprising that they're clashing here, but but you
8:34 am
know, it's, it's, it's these intra-party fights there's always been policy differences in the republican party, right? it's a big tent party. but the way that these personality flights have come out into the open, it's got to be distracting for the republican party now, especially in an election year. and i can't imagine this is anything that the rnc or republicans who are trying to get trump in the white house want to see i mean, look, you're talking about the distraction that members are concerned about. in fact, i asked them about that and you can imagine they weren't too thrilled about matt gaetz as efforts i don't like it >> a colleague campaigning us and colleague. and that's to me he not a very smart move. think the ouster mccarthy, like i said, it didn't help anything and it hasn't been productive. i'm so in very critical of the people that ousted him. i think that that was a really dumb move >> the norm since i've been here. >> you don't >> get involved in someone else's primary and should be
8:35 am
the norm because their price and long term divisions in the conference. so i'm going to support like boston will still go some were even more harsh maximo the ohio freshman told me that matt wants more chaos. he says he has mommy and daddy issues to work out. i mean, have you ever seen the house gop conference devolve like this and your time? not right. i mean, there's nothing there's i mean, it started at the beginning of this congress with mccarthy couldn't get elected the 15 vote to tour going to be speaker. and that was all. >> i mean, this is all intraparty fighting, which is the most amazing thing about it. it's all public, it's been going on all congress. but the issue here here, there's two issues are one gaetz is under investigation by the ethics committee, was under investigation by the justice department. they didn't charge him criminally, but he's under investigation over his personal behavior. he's still he's attacking the ethics committee because kevin mccarthy appointed all those people and he's trying to get rid of the ethics committee you said gate decide the real issue here is that by going down to mar-a-lago and seeking the

seeking trump's endorsement is shows you it's all about trump. it's the reason why they were scared because gaetz has relationship with trump and he could somehow and then trump could come out of the blue and endorsed bailey, which who's endorsed in the past when he ran for governor. so that's really the subtext here is that it's all about one guy trying to they're worried about what he may do. and in the insanity of what his choices are or not, it's entity the irrationality of his choices. and then that's the subtext here, is really about trump and that he can the lightning bolt from trump could change a race. >> this is a ruby red district and it's not going to change the outcome of the house majority, but it continues to makeup of the members and that is also something that is so significant. and you mentioned about the trump impact on a primers. i mean, we scoured republican ads in these republican primaries and lo and behold, again, this it is about a loyalty test, one trying to out-trump each other as they appeal to the base
8:37 am
>> president. trump says the election was stolen and he's right. >> trump calls sheehy an american jim hero. donald trump >> says gary palmer is fighting to secure the border. >> mark walker and president trump are fighting to shut down, biden's open border on my first day in congress, i work with president trump shut down our southern border. to secure the border. >> president >> trump and senator cruz ran >> i mean, you don't see this on the democratic side with biden, but chow pills, so dominant within the base, even though as we talked about earlier, he's got some serious issues, not dimension four, criminal cases against him right. >> because they have to get to the primary first, i'm also thinking of a candidate in the ohio primaries for the ninth congressional district. craig riddell, i believe, who had his endorsement by elise stefanik, withdrawn because he was remotely critical of president trump in a radio interview. so that shows just how much of a lock he has on the party and just how how much strategists, republican leaders who are running these campaign
8:38 am
committees have to really maneuver around trump to make sure their favorite candidates get through the primaries you mentioned in your reporting that richard hudson was also one of the people making this appeal to donald trump. and you saw all the maneuvering that we saw with steve daines when it come to that montana senate primary, republicans were afraid for longest time that matt rosendale would get in and trump would back him. obviously, trump did not. matt rosendale got out. i think republicans are breathing a little easier there, but they have to work with donald trump at least in the primary phase to make sure that they can get electable candidates. >> and that was actually interesting about steve daines and just the way that the gop leaders are trying to move in harmony mentioned what does it talk to? don't jump daines has made that concerted decisions. the head of the senate, gop campaign committee. and right now, they are mostly on the same page in some of these key primary races. and that could potentially bode well for them, come november there because they're on the same time because they don't do anything until trump gave it makes sense. what he's gonna do. >> me convinced them to get behind key and that was his
8:39 am
first job until one is going to endorse rosendale and then he backed away very messy. very messy. so like look, it is it is about trump in a lot of the huge said in the primaries. and then he's clearly going to be the nominee, are clearly on the path to be the nominee. so they daines took a completely different path and then they did in the last cycle, which shows you how they, how they're trying to change things. so yeah, look, i just think thank you. did everything from trump is so unpredictable. it's unpredictable in the primaries, it's unpredictable policy-wise. it's every republican party is. >> remember what happened last cycle, the got crosswise with those candidates. you pick candidates and gop leaders didn't like and then dig the senate. so anyways, right next, joe biden facing new concerns sorry about his coalition ahead of michigan's primary on tuesday. but could the alabama supreme court actually help him in the general united states of

8:45 am
just to get a sense of where things are headed into michigan. congresswoman rashida tlaib calling for voters to vote uncommitted on tuesday course, she's muslim american from the michigan from the detroit area represents that also just a coalition of voters from the fox news poll that just came out for biden and black voters. he doesn't 68% of support from black voters, but that is down substantially and suburban women, he's winning what he's losing in michigan to voters under 45 years old. how concerned is the biden campaign about his coalition, which is why seeing that margin, particularly those who go to those uncommitted voters? on tuesday and michigan among democratic voters, will be really interesting and a telling point for the biden campaign. you've seen both white house officials and campaign officials really try to work to make inroads and try to try to communicate with that community, particularly the arab american community. but they haven't been so receptive. they're really angry about the fenestrations ongoing. the positions on the ongoing war in
8:46 am
gaza and the really hasn't been anything that has been able to change our minds. and the biden campaign is hoping that once the choice is clear, once it's november, once it's time to actually vote, that these people would actually go and pull the lever for joe biden not stay home, but it's a bet that they can't count on just yet and they're hoping that of course the issue of abortion post-dobbs will help energize the base, the aftermath of the alabama supreme court ruling restricting access to ivf, of course, has become an issue that republicans are trying to scramble and trying to clean up their positions. trump himself weighed in on this just in the aftermath of that ruling >> i should wait a minute. these people are helping women babies, which is what they want. there may be unable to have them without. and i came down in favor of it and it's been met really a very popular way. we want to help women. we don't want to hurt him. >> i mean, in the scrambling was remarkable friday, just looking at all the tweets than republicans put out saying that
8:47 am
they don't support the supreme court. and now obama's decision, the biden campaign tried to tie this all to trump saying that he proudly overturned roe. he bragged eggs about it on the campaign trail clearly republicans realize this is a problem still not figured out how to deal with the post roe world. >> yeah, it was interesting that's trump's spoke to a group of christian broadcasters in nashville on thursday. and at this event, he embraced what he did to overturn roe v. wade. he talked about this supreme court justices that he put in place. and the fact that they've had, but i did think it was interesting in that interview that dana had this morning with governor whitmer, that she was not dismissive of the energy behind this effort and the concerns to move away from biden and she actually said it's important not to lose sight of the facts that any vote that's not cast for joe biden supports a second trump term. so clearly a very urgent call to democrats there. yeah. i mean, you are talking to democrats all the time. what are they most concerned about,
8:48 am
about the president as they head into november and, you know age, is it about the base? is it about the his handling of israel? this war is that all the above, totally above inflation economic issues. it's all the above. i think the problem for both sides here is this, this is a rerun of the 2020 race, and we're not going to trump doesn't have to introduce himself to america. america knows you. trump aides and everyone knows you. joe biden is and they're fighting over such just small margin. i think they're fighting over yards and edges here. i mean, it's going to be so difficult and i do think when you'll see a michigan and there are, there is real concern about from the white house and from democrats about what, what biden's results are there. and i think with younger voters, it's a huge problem. this is you the group's joe biden needs to be reelected president are the ones he's motion trouble with, right? a lot of ways. yeah. i mean, that's really the big question. can just being anti-trump be enough to win
8:49 am
here? and this is a much different electorate than 2020. you'll have third-party candidates, things that they're just going to have to contend with, figure out a deal with that one. big question will be, we'll see what happens tuesday and whether there are holes in that coalition. all right, coming up, what to the my pillow ceo in january 6, pinball machine have in common trump's republican party comes to washington next >> this is the big dam >> that dough okay, everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health, and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein the facts classic first-timers,
