The Man Trump Belittles as sleepy joe seemed quite fiery last night as the president tries to flip the script launching a campaign blitz, just one day after his forceful kind of political state of the Union Address. Plus Donald Trumps oneonone at maralago today, meeting with Hungarys Viktor Orban ban. The authoritarian leader, knowing, known for antiimmigration nationalist rhetoric, who often cozies up to Vladimir Putin and attempts to stop the aid. See what happened when cnn confronted israeli protesters, determined to make sure little food, if any, makes it into gaza despite the overwhelming human and tharon crisis welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper and we start today with our politics lead in the white house in an all Reelection Blitz trying to capture on any momentum from President Bidens fiery and rather political state of the Union Address last night in which the president referenced donald trump, at least a dozen times in less than an hour, we expect to hear from the president outside philadelphia, pennsylvania. Hes visiting the commonwealth of crucial Battleground State today along with the first lady who hails from their meanwhile, the Vice President s, it is about to land in another key battleground, arizona. She heads to another battleground, nevada tomorrow. Just take a look at the travel plans for the president , the Vice President , and the Biden Cabinet over the next few weeks from california rhode island, missouri, to wisconsin and ohio. This is what the white house sees as the official launch of the biden trump rematch now to boast, bolster that effort, the Biden Campaign said today that theyre launching 100 new offices this month, hiring 350 new team members and launching a 30 media campaign. Those ads are expected to reflect some of the key themes we heard from bidens speech last night. And the criticism he leveled at the man he identified only as my predecessor, along with the Republican Party my predecessor a former republican president , tells putin, quote, do whatever the hell you want. My predecessor on some of you here, seek to bury the truth about january 6, predecessor came to office, determined to see roe v. Wade over return. Well, my predecessor, many in this chamber want to take those rep. Prescription drug away by repealing Affordable Care act im not let that happen for his part. The former president his predecessor, posted his Speech Reaction on truth social with a lot of all caps rants where he accused biden of lying about his record, being quote, angry as hell and shouting his speech into the microphone. Republicans on capitol hill are criticizing bidens speech as well among the criticisms, it was too political it was full of lies and political rhetoric. It was a Campaign Speech. I kept waiting for him and talk about the state of union of people got very emotional tonight because it was overly partisan speeches, Campaign Speech i wanted to hear the State Of The Union, not a Campaign Speech. I would rather go back to having a actual address so the doctrine about the State Of The Union lets discuss all of this with my panel here me and here with me in studio republican strategist Alice Stewart and former coalitions director for the bidenharris 2020 campaign. Ashley allison. Thanks to both of you for being here. Asked before the speech, republicans are saying biden was old week gaffeprone, senile, a pushover after the speech. Unofficial Trump Adviser and fox host sean hannity, described it instead, like this tonight america saw, lets say, a very different joe biden, i might call them jacked up joe. And thats being charitable. He sounded like a hyper caffeinated angry old man. Hanadi always knowing from known for being charitable can republicans have it both ways . I mean, this also reminds me of the fact that they accused him of being a dumb puppet fool. And also this criminal mastermind, it just seems like you got to pick a lane here, right . Well, i think when the first clips you played, when everyone agrees with mitt romney on this issue, i think think theres general consensus amongst republicans that joe biden, clearly he was under pressure to show that he had vim and vigr and stamina to be reelected. But he came across and many peoples mind. He came across angry. He came across a full of vengeance. He came across loud and grumpy and look, this was a partisan speech. He came right out of the gate talking about his predecessor over and over and over again and taking it to donald trump instead of talking about the State Of The Union, which is what this was four. And if i wanted to go to biden rally, i wouldve gotten my small snacks and snicker bars and hit the road to a biden rally. But this was supposed to be about the State Of The Union. And on the issues to we can certainly talk about that. But i think the fact that he talked about the economy, which is a big issue for people, saying us is the envy of the world. Were coming back. Things are great. Thats not how people feel and why he can sit there and say, were on a great economic comeback. Thats not how people feel. And i think a lot of people that you should have been reaching out to the independence and the nikki haley voters are saying, you know, you just dont understand how were feeling. Youre just not in touch well, look, the reality is joe biden had to talk about donald trump because the state of our union is angry because of trump and his four years, trump was device if he still uses rhetoric like vermin and poison the blood. And you have to take that on because when you dont, you will you again, you allow the soul of our nation to begin to deteriorate. So we are in a different time and mostly because of donald trump, because he had his convention at the white house because he used the last four years violating every component of the hatch act. I hear you on that. That might not be how people are feeling and i think that last night it was important for joe biden in a state, all of his accomplishments. And then when he goes out and you actually talk okay, so voters, hes really, really good at that engaging with people. The thing that i find interesting is that, you know, i dont think you can have it both ways and we clearly are not the same type of voter, right we care about america, but we care about different issues in different ways. But all the people that have been in a Question Mark Phase my circle and im not talking about dc elites, im talking about people in the streets. They are saying last night, joe biden got the job done and thats what you need to do. So it was so it was good for the base. The base, but i do think that she did talk to me, quote it, Ronald Reagan in the speech, the first three minutes and talk its about defending ukraine, defending democracy. So he did not just cower to the left on israelhamas. He talked about israel being our ally. And so i think he was talking to a coalition that he will need to win, which includes independence. So i will say this alice, that like, i think a lot of people going into it thought, oh boy i hope he gets democrats, i hope, i hope it gets through it. I hope he doesnt like collapse. I hope he doesnt like up some major gaffe. It he he he certainly seemed like an 81 yearold, but he did not seem incapable of doing the job, so he at that at least that point, like republicans complaining about it being political, et cetera. Im not saying i disagree with that, but but thats not the same thing as complaining about him being, weekend at bernies exam. The bar is pretty low. I mean, a lot of people thought he would, but its the republicans had set the bar that, thats my point. To that point, look, he got through no major stumbles, no major tumbles. But youre talking about having it both ways. Dont bidens trying to have it both ways. He campaigned on being the empathetic candidate on unity, on normalcy. That was such a divisive speech, and that was so partisan against donald trump. And hes talking about, were having great comeback in this country. It was a nasty speech and he is the candidate that is saying hes going to be a unifying this country. And that speech was very far from it. I think what was nasty was Marjorie Taylor greene yelling yelling at the president . She gave him a button and he used the button. I mean, he he was engaging with her and saying you asked me to say her name and i am saying her name and i have compassion for the parents because ive also a lot of lost a child so i mean, we again, we dont have to agree on this, but i think joe biden got the job done and im looking forward to the campaign to try to make alice have to defend Marjorie Taylor greene. Thats thats thats thats dirty so let me ask you because actually today the group no labels announced that it is going to move forward with plans to field a thirdparty president ial ticket who benefits from that if there is a Third Party Ticket out there under the no labels label this. Nope beyond partisan politics. No one, honestly, i dont know who theyre going to pick right now. You have chris sununu, who was on a shortlist, larry hogan who was on the shortlist, joe manchin and mitt romney, all of them have said theyre either not rent, theyre not going sunday. The no labels ticket, or theyve already endorsed donald trump. So the question is who and the reality i think it does matter who because if it is someone who is considered as so extreme and maybe just one step away from donald trump. I think it helps joe biden because it takes some votes away from donald trump. But if it is someone potentially that i cant even like a nikki haley, which i think would be counter to what she was saying. She wanted to do. I think it would help donald trump. So nikki, i theres no way i think that you hear that it would do what she still wants to be a republic what can president someday . But geoff duncan, who is, i believe still seeing in commentator and our colleague, we all like him. Hes a nice guy with former Lieutenant Governor of georgia, very conservative republican who broke from trump, right he doesnt think trumps republican to begin with. The Wall Street Journal is says he might be in contention. I think he would be great. Elected official in the future for whatever he decides to run for, he is certainly a man of great conviction until you who benefits from that is the advisers, the people that are buying the ads, people that are doing social media, the people that are advising that no labels ticket. Ive spoken with the consultant. The consultant class. Ive spoken with someone in that decisionmaking the process theyre looking for someone who is a fiscal conservative, socially moderate, and potentially with some military experience. I think thats sort of narrows it down. Theyre not saying if its a male, female, black or white, but they clearly are moving forward. And i think it will be interesting as to see who it might impact, but it really boils down to the actual name and face on that ticket as so i dont think geoff duncan ever served in the military, but he was a Baseball Player its pretty cool. Thanks to both you for being here, coming up. What President Biden is saying today about that hot mic moment just after his state of the Union Address last night when he said something about netanyahu, that he probably didnt want folks to here, plus one friends and family are in high places.

Rather, the authoritarian leaders here to visit donald trump, the two, meeting this evening at maralago, this comes as trumps dominance in the republican in party grows even more evident today as a Republican National committee elected his daughterinlaw, wife of his son, eric lara trump, to serve as the rncs new cochair. Cnns Alayna Treene is in houston, texas at this rnc meeting in it, how did this all play out today . Well, jake Donald Trumps grip on the Republican Party is tightening as soon as he became the presumptive nominee, its tightened even further and we saw that really play out today at the rnc Spring Meeting where really we saw a trump takeover of the committee, Ronna Mcdaniel, the chairwoman, resigned formerly from her role during that meeting really made way for more of Donald Trumps handpicked allies to succeed her. We saw michael whatley, the North CarolinaRepublican Party chairman swiftly be elected as the new chairman. In of the rnc. And as you mentioned, jake Donald Trumps daughterinlaw, lara trump also very quickly became and was elected to become the partys cochair. And that came without opposition. There were some people so in the room when i was chatting with them, they said they were surprised at how swiftly the election was. It was a very quick meeting. No one stood up to oppose them. And it really, i think underscores how much the rnc recognizes that theyre in line with donald trump now, i do just want you to listen to some of what Ronna Mcdaniel said as well as what lara trump said. While they were giving their speeches, take a listen stepping aside today because i have long promised to put the nominee and their plans for the rnc fo
