and he was battling rivals who have been largely competing for second place like florida governor ron desantis. who staked much of his campaign on iowa, trying to knock a million doors through his super pac and get the support of the iowa governor. but not enough to beat trump. meanwhile, former trump ambassador nikki haley who has momentum in new hampshire coming up on the primary calendar, she has spent a lot of time in iowa as well. hoping to get a bounce into that primary. many times you donors tell me they are watching her finish tonight, very closely. and they are ready to pour millions behind her candidacy and make her the standard bearer for the nontrump wing of the party. but trump plows ahead in this race. this is the early beginning of the race, but his legal challenges will continue. sources tell cbs news he is scheduled to appear tomorrow at the e. jean carroll defamation case in new york all while the

team until about a week ago have been raising the expectations. >> garrett haake, always great to see you. thank you so much. in the meantime, ron desantis is zeroing in on his post caucus fight against his rival, nikki haley. nbc's dasha burns is in west des moines where desantis will be holding his caucus party enough. it's not enough that they have a caucus tonight and the results matter a little bit, but they have gone ahead and are trading barbs over what happens next. tell us about it. >> reporter: let's take a little step back here, chris, because ron desantis is the candidate that at the outset of this primary was a rising star in the republican party. he was the guy that everyone was looking to to unseat trump as the standard bearer of the republican party, and he was the guy that was saying not so long ago that he was going to win iowa. now, he's campaigning here as the underdog. he's fighting for second place for that mantle to take on trump, not just nationally but
remarkable about this race is how constant it has been in its state of play throughout the caucus. the stability of the race. donald trump's dominance from the get go has remained the story all the way through. when you think about where we are, this first step in the process for republican voters after the last three years since donald trump left office, january 6th and all that followed after that, to have a moment now to weigh in with their votes. to say whether or not donald trump is the person they want to be their standard bearer in a potential rematch against joe biden. tomorrow night is the first time voters get to weigh in on that question and according to the poll that we saw from the des moines register, they're going to potentially say so rather robustly in iowa. yes is the answer to that. they want to be his standard bearer. the other thing i would note here is that while we look at that race for second place, manu, and jeff encapsulated sort of the different strategies from the haley and desaesantis
>> i think it's left the enthusiasm, but when i see that headline a point to something else that we saw in this new poll that we had overnight, which is the general idea that -- has gone up. of course that's what happens when volker start taking a look at candidates that might not have looked known anything about. but it's different what happens when you look at a republican primary and you watch the former president, who is still effectively the standard bearer of this party, at least until someone proves that he isn't. when he senses iran continues to attack nikki haley, then you add on top of that what dasha was talking about which is not just ron desantis, but also vivek ramaswamy, and then maybe inadvertently chris christie on that hot mic. people have their arrows drawn towards her right now. she's facing a lot of attacks in a lot of scrutiny, and that might explain why we're seeing consistently high unfavorability ratings. that is a trend in the negative direction. haley campaign choosing to focus on the trends that they prefer to see, which is that polls show her with upper
broader search for israeli and palestinian peace, and frankly, right now, no israeli or no palestinian is willing to make the kinds of choices that are necessary to have a serious negotiation over those issues. you're dealing with two traumatized communities in israel and gaza and the west bank, and i suspect it's going to take time and new leadership, new leadership over jerusalem and ramallah to have any chance of making that happen. >> that's been the consistent answer i have been getting from experts like you. aaron david miller, always good to have you. thanks for being on. >> thanks, katy, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. >> it's okay. another huge storm is headed across the u.s. after the last one killed at least five people and forced new york to relocate 2,000 migrants from tent shelters.
they'll be happy enough with their standard bearer other than trump. >> neil: got it. good seeing you. all right. meantime, we're focusing on now this idea of a federal probe to look in to boeing and the 737 max 9. going way beyond just this particular incident after this. when we had a significant health scare, we needed to act quickly. because we had christian healthcare ministries. i went directly to the specialist i wanted. they took care of all our medical bills. over $60,000. joining christian healthcare ministries is one of the best decisions we've ever made. we're the suarez family, and this is our chm story. choose your doctor without network restrictions, all at an affordable price. enroll anytime at chministries. dot org / enroll. type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight.

of democracy. it does seem like this case is a long shot in the sense that it would stand that he would be thrown off the ballot in colorado. i do think there is an expectation that somehow the supreme court will find a way to avoid that outcome. >> mike, this stuff really is thorny for president biden and his campaign. how are they thinking about trump's criminal indictments. like, are we going to see them talk a whole lot more about it as the cases get closer and closer? >> well, it is so interesting and is the right question, staff, because when you talk to biden campaign advisers, they are critical sometimes of how we are covering the former president. they think we are covering him more as a legal drama then a about it as the cases get closer and closer? >> well, it is so interesting and is the right question, staff, because when you talk to biden campaign advisers, they are critical sometimes of how we are covering the former president. they think we are covering him more as a legal drama then a potential future commander in chief, somebody who is about to be, and their worlds, the standard bearer for the
are critical sometimes of how we are covering the former president. they think we are covering him more as a legal drama then a potential future commander in chief, somebody who is about to be, and their worlds, the standard bearer for the republican party. they don't see much value in engaging with discussion of what the legal problems are of former president trump, they want to warn voters about what he would do if he is given four more years and the white house. it is also interesting to look at how they are putting this questions about ballot access for the former president. the biden campaign, the white house -- whenever we ask them about maine or colorado, they have refused to engage in this. some of this is about president biden as an old school institutionalist. he is a former chairman of the judiciary committee. he has not shied away from being critical of the supreme court, once they have made a decision you only need to look at the dobbs decision overturning roe v. wade as an example, but when the supreme court is likely to consider these questions and has yet to do so, they are wary the president himself is wary, of
