happening now, an urgent crisis in sudan where thousands of citizens remain on the ground as a new cease-fire is announced. we ll have the latest on what the biden administration is doing and not doing to help civilians escape after u.s. diplomats were evacuated. also tonight, a major shakeup over at fox news, primetime host tucker carlson is out. stand by for new details on the timing of his exit and the potential impact on fox and the republican party. president biden is finalizing his 2024 campaign plans on this, the eve of his expected announcement. most americans don t want him or donald trump, for that matter, to run again. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation. out of country the state department and others were working very hard to secure a cease-fire between the warring parties. first of all, perhaps indeed primarily. in osh der to evacuate the large numbers of people who want to get out of
officers that murdered my son, you also disgraced your own families when you did this. but you know what? i m going to pray for you and your families, because at the end of the day, this shouldn t have happened. that s right. this just shouldn t have happened. rowvaughn wells, the mother of tyre nichols, showing her grief while showing grace for the families of the men accused of killing her son. the video showing some of nichols final moments was released on friday. nichols crying out for his mother, just down the block from her house. it has sparked outrage and protests around the country. more action from the memphis police department, as well. we also got our first look at what happened the night paul pelosi, the husband of nancy pelosi, was attacked. it comes as the man accused in the attack makes some bizarre and disturbing comments in a phone call about that night. and what more he wanted to do. the brutal beating pelosi sustained was often mocked and question
that has started to shift over the course of the last ten days. the president has shot a video announcing his re-election campaign. they have started to move forward on major staff hires, likely at this point that julie rodriguez, one of the president s senior advisers at the white house will helm the campaign as campaign manager. we re told at this time all signs pointing to the plans under way for that announcement tomorrow. it would not be some major launch major rally. it would be a low-key video announcement with a fund-raising request as well. it underscores that much of what you ll see from the president over the course of the coming months won t be that different from the last several months. the message will be very similar. the contrast with republicans will be critical. the travel will be tied to his legislative accomplishments of the first two years. however, it s clear that the movement toward this relaunch underscaleores the scale.
you write about how he s on the offensive against trump. he s cozied up to the saudis, which is a strange campaign tactic to my eyes. but tell us what you think pompo is up to. pompeo is holding meetings with donors, with activists. he is taking a look at potential staff hires. he is doing everything that somebody who wants to run for president is going to do. so i asked him about that. he s treading lightly, i think like a lot of other candidates. not all but like a lot of them, he wants to see not only how strong trump is but what ron desantis, the governor of florida, does. i asked pompei know if any sense of loyalty to donald trump would keep him out of the race. he said absolutely not. another really interesting part of the interview, which will drop later with our dispatch politics newsletter, is what he has been doing in relation to classified documents. has he looked for them. he said he thinks he has, and he doesn t think he has any. has he been contacted by the department o
that sort of thing, committee chairs, a boring couple of words, but they kind of run the show on capitol hill. they kind of run the legislative branch. so the republicans who are potentially in line for those leadership jobs, if the republicans take control again, they are really stoked right now. they are making their promises. they are raising money. they are planning their staff hires. they are doing all the horse oi trading they need to do among themselves to maximize the powers they think they are about to get. it is a really heady time. if you are a republican expecting your party to take back control and you expect to t be one of the power brokers, once that happens. that s kind of the conventional wisdom in terms of what s going ons right now in washington looking ahead toward next year s elections.n but contrary to that, in tonight s news, there s news that republican congressman devin nunes is quitting congress.ubli
