trump 46 and biden 44% and look at young voters 18 to 34, biden down by four 42-46 to trump. 30% and 63%, big majority disapprove of the president right now. david axelrod has been warning age is legitimate problem and president biden is referring to axelrod, man who helped get him elected president as expletive. he said, i don't care them thinking that, i hope they don't think the polls are wrong, they are not. polls cite president biden's age as problem and a problem that is getting worse. the year he was born, world war ii raging, cacasablanca playing. average price of gas $.20 cents

7. we've had afghanistan, ukraine, now israel, we need a stronger candidate, donald trump. >> lawrence: it is not just the war, way he governed in the middle of them. he is reactive, don't give ukraine what they need before. the prime minister is getting some dings about intelligence there and america is getting pushback, as well. a lot of america is saying why did you empower iran. with the

going after us and we have responded four times and they hit us 62 times. look at china, they are going out of their way to make joe biden look good. they do not want any part of president trump. >>

over the weekend, got a big endorsement. >> ainsley: it was put on x governor abbott was proud to endorse them and then in edinburgh, texas, they were there and he took the podium and said i'm

things in texas. they have given the job to you. it's a job of security for our country. it is an invasion and you have done a great job and thank you for the endorsement, i appreciate it. >> lawrence: important not just because this is a border state, it's greg abbott. he is close with desantis. he made the calculation trump is going to win anyone. >> ainsley: trump endorsed him in 2021. >> brian: the president is getting pushed to talk about the first act, talk about what you did with alice marie johnson and he is wary about it. he doesn't want to be associated with hellacious bail thing happening. >> lawrence: it is an issue ron desantis has attacked donald trump on. some folks got out of prison and reoffended. tim scott disagreed with it. >> ainsley: you should talk about the issue, abortion, they will have to find a way to deal with it. you can be for the first steps act and no one went to prison, she did. wonderful person, served decades and -- >> lawrence: they paid their debt. >> ainsley: he says i'm not for no cash bail. >> steve: today is joe biden's birthday, he's 81 and this was not the present he wanted where donald trump is beating him in the poll. >> ainsley: tributes powering in for r rosalynn carter. she passed yesterday joined by family and friends. >> steve: she comes from a democratic party family, support and love is coming from across it is political spectrum. >> that is right, rosalynn carter was able to learn the needs of the american people more easily than her husband. she valued that relationship to the fullest. she passed away yesterday in plains, georgia. she revealed she had been diagnosed with dementia, joined her husband in hospice care. >> as long as rosalynn carter was in the world, i knew someone loved and supported me. during carter's presidency, she married jimmy carter in 1945 considered her work in destigmatizing her life's priority. president biden and jill biden wrote, rosalynn carter addressed needs, champion for women and girls and advocate for mental health, no shortage of con condolences. >> probably 99 times out of 100, you saw rosalynn carter with her husband. the country lost a champion with habitat for humanity and mental health, for women as a whole. i'll miss her. >> services will be hold on november 29th. rosalynn carter is survived by her husband, four children and 22 grandchildren and great grandchildren. >> steve: what a life. thank you. >> lawrence: rest in peace. >> brian: carley shimkus is following other stories including the war in israel. >> carley: idf says this new video shows tunnel held under the al-shifa hospital in gaza. officials believe they are as close to a hostage deal as they have ever been. >> if we are closer, it is because of military pressure on hamas. we've been hitting their military hard. israel said for release of our hostage, we're wiling for a ceasefire and hamas needs that time out, it would be temporary, they need to time out and we believe the probability they will agree to release of our people has gone up. depends on hamas. >> carley: 31 babies have been evacuated from al-shifa and brought to egypt to receive care. sam altman

wig because of his air and mr. crazy because he is nuts, you have the argentine version of brian kilmeade. >> ainsley: shaking thing up. do you think he won because he is different or inflation is

happening last three years he's been in office. in the bronx, first time in 90 years a republican got elected for city council. i think his policy, not his age, but his age is concerning, as well. his age is keeping him in trouble. >> steve: dominique, look at the independents breaking for donald trump? why is that? >> it's a different election from last time, we got to see how biden operates and scandal and corruption, we need common sense policy. i believe age is a number, happy birthday to president biden. trump is clearly stronger and has wit and stamina and energy and i think in a day that will be his downfall. >> steve: the best thing for the republican party to win next year if joe biden stayed in the race. >> absolutely. he's been a disaster for the democratic party. >> he's 81 years old, when elected he is about same age donald trump is right now. three years ago joe biden seemed older, he did not seem elderly. now he seems frail. >> i feel like sometimes watching a modern-day movie. he needs to, vote for biden is vote for kamala harris, if elected, he'll be 82. i don't think he will last the test of time. >> steve: say this weekend, joe is up in nan tucket with
