With donald trump without alienating the large pool of voters loyal to him? furthermore, joe biden has unleashed a hornets nest of partisan prosecutors trend hell-bent on stinging the life out of the trump campaign. republican voters since the political danger potentially here, but are also disgusted with the corrupt injustice of these unprecedented legal attacks, especially considering the fact that the incumbent president has been accused of headlining an international bribery racket and is in the process of orchestrating an administration wide cover up. tonight is a balancing act. donald trump has said he is evaluating the men and women on stage for potential vp or cabinet positions. how will all of this effect the candidate s performance? well, the candidate that respects the former president and definitely maneuvers the conversation to focus on biden and s deficiencies and their solutions will prosper.
Have it both ways. he s calling on the party to move on from donald trump. , yet he still says that he would still back whoever the nominee is. l that includes the man who try to oust him from office. lisa, some of trump s alleged acts of conspiracy, they are tweets. i wonder what that could mean for his social media moving forward if he is listening to his lawyers. if you are his lawyers what is it, juanita, i understand this. i think we all do. so, a big f, asterisks all around, it what addenda does look? like it s much more careful. he isn t being more careful. the last few days one of the things i ve noticed in the social media posts is a turn away from statements about witnesses and participants in the judicial process and much more of a focus on biden. in particular and attack line that biden is the person that did this to. him joe biden is directly responsible for each of these
? f well, i ll focus on biden, because if biden is kind of looks like sick in his justice department on his chief political rival. is it too much to ask that he a actually then act likeni a tyrannical despot if he s going to use the powers of his office to go afterhi a w political opponent? well, instead, we get this likee ge smirking and clumsy co hmm.yo yeah.u thin why do you think all the ice is eaten? at least he would look like kim jong un. like h a refrigerator madee look a pudding. yeah,edik and or, like, he nd to dom like putin ins , dictator stans. oh, i have a demonic laugh. ha, ha. instead, he s coughing all the time, shufflin stancg aroune he s wearing bedroom shoes. and you look at him and go, man, need some fosamax? hmm. doesn needt look like that he wd
Merit must trump identity politics. we in florida held the line when freedom hung in the balance. ashley: brandy cruz joins us now. good to see you this morning. i m goed to get your take on this, especially coming from the viewpoint of an independent. we are starting to see republicans throw jabs at each other, just now starting this campaign trail. ron desantis also took time to respond to criticism from former president trump, listen to this and talk about it. if you say cuomo did a better job with covid than florida did, that is not what he used to say. this is new. six months ago he did not say this. his whole family moved to florida under my governorship. if someone is saying that, i will counter punch, fight back and focus on biden. he should do the same, he gives
From the press on president biden s re-election strategy. peter doocy tried to get answers on what is next for president biden. peter: will president biden hold a campaign event ever? i will say this to you, peter, as you know, we follow the rule of law here and believe in following the rule of law as relates peter: asking you to weigh on just schedule around rallying. as relates to anything connected to the campaign and rallies and events, any endorsement connected to the 2024 re-election, that is not going to come from here. that will come from his campaign or the dnc. peter: you can t say if he will be campaigning for re-election? i will not comment from here on the 2024 election.
Biden a free pass. ashley: how is this perceived by independent voters? first, i think ron desantis is better in front of lectern than on twitter space, i m glad he is in iowa. i think there should be law that says no presidential campaigning until a year out from the election because 18 months of this is just too much, it is bonkers. i know america doesn t live on twitter, it is embarrassing desantis and trump, mostly trump, going unhinged on social media and ron desantis said it there, i will focus on biden and former president donald trump should, too. republicans have a wonderful position heading into the 2024 election. they have besides kamala harris, the worst possible 2024 nominee for democrats in joe biden.
Governor, and so it kind of distinguishes himself from the rest of the pack as well because as we know a lot of the other 2024 candidates are unwilling to even go after trump virtually at all. and so i think their thinking here is let s use the media. they re going to ask about trump, it will allow us to rerespond to these attacks. and then when we get out and talk to iowa voters, iowa voters are little bit more unpredictable. we don t know how they re going to react to some of these harsher jabs against trump so we re going to focus on biden. certainly desantis still perceived by many to be the most viable trump alternative but has a lot of extreme positions on his record that may be tough in a 2024 general election. politics reporter for semifore shelby live for us in iowa. up next we ll go live to cnbc for a look at what s driving wall street. we ll be back with that. iving w. we ll be back with that. power s easy-to-use tools
does exist. todd: president biden is facing two democrats looking to take his spot, robert f. kennedy and author mariann williamson. todd: and desantis kicked off his presidential campaign in the hawkeye state with this message to voters. it really does take two terms as president to be able to finish this job. the bureaucracy is so entrenched i think we can bring george washington back and i don t think he could fix it in one single four-year term. we must restore sanity to our nation. we can t have every constitution going on ideological joyrides. we have to be guided by reality, facts and enduring principles,
President in there can work across the lines. brianna, those last two voters you heard from there, these are people who supported donald trump in the past. this is ron desantis opening, this concern we hear from voters among republicans about a level of trump exhaustion. either the legal troubles or the chaos of the trump administration. despite being a fan of his policies may not be the best path forward for the party this time around. that s the opening provided. donald trump is the front-runner and he s seeking to close that opening, but that is the opening that ron desantis is trying to run through. he ll have to convince people that he can carry that mantle. we ll see if he does that. david chalian, thank you so much. running out of time. people are still missing after the partial collapse of an apartment building in iowa. but the danger of letting what s left of the building stand is
