willing to cede the future of electric vehicles to china. he said if americans made electric vehicles it would drive down wage said and spell the end of american auto. well, like almost everything else he's said, he's wrong. you have proved him wrong. >> that's president joe biden stepping up his attacks on donald trump while meeting yesterday with united auto workers. we'll have more of biden's comments and his criticism of his predecessor straight ahead. meanwhile, donald trump is essentially confirming reports that he plans to get revenge on his critics if he wins a second term. we'll play for you that disturbing new interview. and plus, a major development out of the middle east. israel is agreeing to daily humanitarian pauses in gaza. we'll get insight on how that could work and the overall impact on the war with hamas. good morning, and welcome to "way too early" on this friday, november 10th. we made it to friday, everyone. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. with the 2024 presidential election now less than a year away, president joe biden shifted into much more of a campaign mode last night at a fund-raising event in chicago. the president touted his administration's successes and claimed credit for the democratic party's big wins in several state races earlier in the week. among them was kentucky where biden said last night that democratic governor andy beshear won re-election after, quote, running on programs that were all biden initiatives. notably, though, beshear worked to separate himself from the white house on the campaign trail likely due to biden's extreme unpopularity in his state. biden also called donald trump out by name last night, something he's often been previously reluctant to do. at the fund-raiser biden told donors in attendance that trump was, quote, the only reason that abortion was banned in america and is now running to end democracy as we know it. now, that fund-raiser came after the president spent hours earlier with members of the united auto workers elsewhere in illinois to celebrate the union's tentative deal with detroit's big three auto makers. the president congratulated the union while wearing a local chapter t-shirt as you can see there. and he slammed trump and republicans for not doing enough for auto workers. >> the entire uaw proved what i've always believed. wall street didn't build america, the middle class didn't build america, and unions built the middle class. let's think about this. when my predecessor, the distinguished -- anyway. >> we know. >> here's the difference, when you're in the middle of a fight, i stood and others stood with you shoulder to shoulder with you on that picket line. my predecessor went to a nonunion shop and attacked -- >> yes, he did. >> i hope you guys have a memory. where i come from it matters. the truth is if you had listened to him -- and thank god you didn't. >> the biden campaign also released a new ad slamming trump's record on manufacturing. the 30-second spot aired last night during thursday night football. >> he says he stands with auto workers, but as president donald trump passed tax breaks for his rich friends while auto makers shuttered their plants and the u.s. lost manufacturing jobs. joe biden said he'd stand up for workers, and he's delivering, passing laws that are increasing wage said and creating good paying jobs. manufacturing is coming back to america because joe biden doesn't just talk, he delivers. >> i reported earlier in the week the president's team is about to step up attacks on donald trump. you're seeing it. now back in september, of course, president biden joined auto workers in the detroit area on the picket line making history as the first sitting president ever to do so. as for trump in a sit down interview that aired on univision last night he seemed to confirm recent reporting from "the washington post" and other outlets about his plans to enact revenge on his critics if he wins back the white house. >> they've released the genie out of the box, you understand that. they've done something that nobody thought would happen. they've done indictments in order to win an election. they call it weaponization. and the people aren't going to stand for it, but, yeah, they have done something that allows the next party -- if i happen to be the next president and i see someone doing well and beating me very badly and i say go down and indict them, mostly what that would be -- you know, they'd be out of business. they'd be out. they'd be out of the election. >> in that same interview trump was asked about how he would handle the israel-hamas war if he were the president right now. here's what the gop front-runner had to say. >> how can the u.s. stop more innocent people civilians on both sides? >> you have a war going on and you're probably going to have to let this play out. there's no hatred like the palestinian hatred of israel and jewish people and probably the other way around also. i don't know. it's not as obvious but probably that's it. so sometimes you have to let things play out, and you have to see where it ends. >> joining us now national politics reporter for bloomberg. stephanie, good to see you this morning. donald trump has been incessantly attacking president joe biden, but now it seems like the biden campaign has begun to hit back. we reported earlier this week that they had thought that trump's gop primary rivals would take a lot of shots at trump. that never really happened. the biden team ramping up their own attacks now, and you've got some new reporting about the state of these two campaigns. tell us about it. >> you're 100% right. the biden campaign has been stepping up their attacks, and reporting from my colleagues and i this last week revealed president biden and outlets groups have outspent every single candidate in the election so far on advertisements and an unprecedented amount compared to incumbents running for election. he's spent 39 on advertisements and advisers are saying that this isn't a sign of worry among the biden camp, that in fact this is their way of getting ahead of the curve, of trying to target and figure out messages that resonate with voters over the general election. but republicans don't necessarily see it this way. they react to this as, you know, thinking that the biden campaign is scared, that they continue to lag in polling, and this might be their way to try to help bump up president biden's favorability. >> the campaign won't really get launched until january, but certainly right about upping their attacks. let's talk about what happened yesterday. it's been a pretty good week for the president, obviously. democrats did so well in the elections on tuesday, and now he got to take a bit of a victory lap yesterday in illinois including with the uaw president sean fain. so talk to us about how important it is for the president who has billed himself so pro-labor to try to win not just union endorsements and uaw hasn't give him theirs yet but we all expect it. and the actual union members in 2016 and 2020 a lot of them broke for trump, these white working class voters. what's the biden campaign's pitch to try to get them back? >> certainly. they've been touting bidennomics for a very long time that they're trying to build out the middle class. and in some ways this is a reaction to what we're seeing in polling that voters are reacting to domestic policies. and in fact bloomberg news and morning consul poll released yesterday voters really are thinking about issues more close to home. more viewers view the u.s. border with mexico and immigration rights issues are more up to of mind more so than the israel and hamas war. foreign policy is really top of mind, i think the biden campaign recognizes that many of the issues that will drive voters to the polls in 2024 will be domestic issues. >> national politics reporter for bloomberg, thank you for joining us. we'd love to have you back soon. we turn now to some other headlines, a big one here. democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia has announced he'll not run for re-election next year. the conservative democrats' decision is a blow to national democrats as control of the senate will be up for grabs next year although manchin faced a very tough re-election campaign and may not have won. manchin did not confirm any future electoral plans, but he most certainly did allude to a potential run for president. >> after months of deliberation and a long conversation with my family, i believe in my heart of hearts that i accomplished what i setout to do for west virginia. i've made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that i will not be running for re-election to the united states senate, but what i will be doing is traveling the country sw and speaking out to see if there's an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. >> there's been a lot of speculation that manchin might end up making a no labels third-party run for president, certainly would be damaging to the democrats. as for the senate, most democrats think they've got a shot to hang onto it, but it would be 50-50 at best which means, of course, you'd have to win the white house and break a vote to have the senate. it would be very, very close. meanwhile as the november 17th government funding deadline looms, there's been a new setback for house speaker mike johnson this morning. in a further sign of dysfunction in the lower chamber, the republican led house finished the week by canceling votes on two party line funding bills. one was a fancial services measure, which was pulled due to divisions on abortion-related provisions and funding for the newly planned fbi headquarters. the other a transportation housing bill pulled over concerns from some of the gop about proposed cuts to amtrak. it's a step backward for speaker johnson because he hoped to show progress on appropriations bills championed by conservatives as a means of securing their votes for aonnuing resolution to prevent the government from shutting down. the ongoing chaos prompted one house republica to call the party ungovernable. congressman troy nails of texas told nbc news, i don't think the lord jesus himself could manage this group. he added he would pray for a new speaker over the long weekend as members departed washington yesterday ahead of the veterans day holiday being observed today. they're back on monday. we should note government funding expires one week from today, seven days away. still ahead here on "way too early," the civil fraud trial against the trump organization is moving into the next phase. we'll take a look at who is expected to take the witness stand for trump's legal team, plus how senate republicans derailed an investigation into alleged ethics lapses on the supreme court. those stories and a check on weather when we come right back. n weather when we come right back. hello. it is so fantastamazing for me to see other trolls. is this how people feel when they meet me?
