Reelected. Ill get reaction from quintin folk, president for the Biden Harris Campaign. And Steve Phillips standard of democracy. And inside the fight to enshrine abortion laws. And breaking with the boss. Former Vice President mike pence on january 6th and his decision not to endorse donald trump. The fact that the president continues to insist that i had the right to overturn the election that day is a fundamental difference. But i want to be clear that, you know, ive forgiven the president in my heart for what happened that day. Im jonathan capehart, this is The Sunday Show. Its official, biden versus trump. And what is shaping up to be the first president ial general election rematch in nearly 70 years. Sure it feels like deja vu all over again. But this 2024 version is all together different. Biden seeks reelection with a strong record to stand on and defend. A record that includes a booming economy despite all those hair on fire prediction that the u. S. Would slip into recession. Unemployment is just 3. 9 . For the last two years folks. In february job growth was more than predicted. The Biden Administration has also canceled millions in student loans. The fund raising, well, thats another story. Today the Bidenharris Campaign announced it raised more than 63 million in february. Not only that, with the campaign also reported that it has a record 155 million cash on hand. Like, cash they can spend right now. Now, lets turn our weary gaze to the twice impeached disgraced former president donald trump. Since 2020, trump has been found liable for Sexual Assault and fraud. Plus he has 80 indictments and has millions in legal penalties. Trump continues to push a violent vision for america. He continues to promote the big lie. Now bolstered by his hand picked and newly installed Leadership Team which includes his daughterinlaw laura trump. The campaign arm is establishing a new so called Integrity Unit Led by maga Election Denier cristina bobb. Trump started his speech by saluting the insurrectionist that were convicted for january 6th. Once again, trump called them quote, hostages. Then he resorted to an all too familiar play book. Making racist remarks about migrants, eluding to Political Violence and casting doubt on our electoral process. If i had prisons that were teaming with ms13 and all sorts of people that theyve got to take care of for the next 50 years right. Young people who are in jail for years, if you call them people. I dont know if you call them people. In some cases theyre not people in my opinion. Were going to put a 100 tariff on every single car that comes across the line and youre not going to be able to sell those. If i get elected. If i dont get elected its going to be a blood bath for the whole. Thats going to be the least of it. Its going to be a blood bath for the country. If this election, if this election isnt one, im not sure that you will ever have another election in this country. Does that make sense . I dont think youre going to have another election in this country. I have two great guests to discuss all of this. Campaign manager for the biden campaign, and Steve Phillips author of how we win the civil war and founder of democracy in color. But let me start with You Quinn Quinton thank you very much for coming on The Sunday Show. Trumps team says trumps word of blood bath was taken out of context. Was he . No. This is who trump is. We saw him call his supporters on january 6th. This is right out of the play book. Trump is weak and deeply insecure of this election and hes only in it for himself. Trump is saying the quiet part outloud. The people who are saying his comments were taken out of context havent said anything about all the other things that trump has done. All the other times hes incited Political Violence so no it wasnt taken out of context at all. This is who donald trump is and America Needs to stand up and listen to him. On that point, trump says violent stuff on this all the time. Why did the Biden Harris Campaign thought they should call him out this time. They call him out all the time. Hes trying to get people to stand up and be violent in this country and this is not who we are in this country. President biden and Vice President harris got to work trying to quell this. Trying to bring americans together. Trump is dividing this country. Hes failing to unite his own supporters and its showing. Were going to continue to call trump out on his extreme the positions and especially when hes cozying up to dictators and being exactly who hes telling americans he is. They have an Election Integrity university that will focus on legal challenges that could resort to restriction to the ballot. How does a Campaign Plan to combat that . Look, our campaign has been focused on making sure were doing everything we can to make sure people across this country have the right to vote. That were protecting it. That theyre not getting misinformation about their voting. Its no surprise that trump takes over the rnc and immediately sets up an election of Integrity Division that is with a selfproclaimed Election Denier in conspiracy theorist. So were going to hold our head up and make sure that people vote. This is about the uncommitted votes that were cast after the devastation in gaza. More than 100 million in michigan voted uncommitted. In illinois, palestinian and muslim groups are pushing for a similar vote in their states primary on tuesday. What is the campaign doing to heal that rift . Its a significant rift. Were going to continue to talk to these individuals. What im saying about those voting uncommitted is that President Biden wants the same thing they to which is long and lasting peace in the middle east. Both in israel and gaza. Hes continuing to put in the work to get to that point. A lot of this work is done behind the scenes its not up front. President biden is trying to Unite America and also solve this issue. We understand that it is a deeply personal issue for a lot of people. The president is going to continued to outreach. Our campaign is going to continue to do outreach to these voters to make sure they have a place in this campaign. Speaking of outreach, officials met with palestinian leaders in chicago. More than 3,000 of those leaders refused to attend the meeting because of the war. Does the president himself plan to meet with these leaders . President biden is willing to sit down with anybody. Anybody thats willing to express their concerns. He understands these issues and hes working to resolve it. Thats the difference between he and donald trump when it comes to this. President biden wants peace in the region. Donald trump is calling far muslim ban and donald trump doesnt have the tact, skill, or ability to bring this resolution to the close. I cant have you here without asking you about this, all this ink thats been spilled about, about the fact that President Biden is losing black support. Losing support among black americans, do you believe . You guys do internal polling . Are you losing black folks . What i would say is no were not but we have to continue to make sure were reaching out to these voters. Its been the number one thing on our mind. We went in to talk to these communities both black and hispanic communities to make sure they know we dont take them as monolithic. We have to continue to do the work and talk to these voters about what President Biden and Kamala Harris have done for their lives. And point out that donald trump does not care about them, hes only in it for himself. Principal Deputy Campaign manager for the Biden Harris Campaign did i get the title right. Yes you did. Quinton, thank you very much for come coming on the show. And joining me now is, the author of how we win the civil war. Are you concerned about whats coming out of michigan . I am concerned. Its important to recognize both of my books is that there is a new majority majority. The overwhelmingly majority of people. If the majority of people turn out to the polls then biden will win. And should win rather handedly. There was a drop of enthusiasm, there was Party Splitting and thats how trump snuck through in michigan and wisconsin. Thats a concern that washington needs to prioritize and needs to really take strong steps and send a clear signal that we are championing peace in that region. Let me ask you the same question i just asked quinton folks. All these stories were seeing suggesting the president , President Biden is losing black support. Youre in it, are those stories remotely true . Theyre not. What we really have a situation in the National Politics and media really is emperor has no clothes situation with frankly the New York Times and nate holmes polls. They continue to show, were losing all this black support. Africanamericans at 66 for biden. The average historically is 88 . Every single president ial election since 1976 has been 88 black support. Biden got 87 . And even in the ohio abortion measure in november there was like 83 of africanamericans supporting that measure. How is that poll showing that theres been this drop off and so it really is a case of this quite possible that the New York Times and nate cohen and his polling does not know how to poll people of color and they lack expertise in that realm. Why democrats are hopeful in North Carolina and nervous in georgia. It points out that democrats are pessimistic in georgia because of the marquee race in 2020. You have said you dont think the party is investing enough in georgia, what else should they be doing . Thats what joe biden said on election night. Because he did not expect to actually win. His campaign did not expect to actually win. But stacy abrams did. She had done the work a decade ago when she told me theres a million unregistered voters in georgia. Im going to register them to work. There needs to be a thousand staffed people on the ground in every single county in georgia. Letting people know about the election. Ive heard from top people the Democratic People and top donors that theyre not prioritizing georgia. How many elections does rafael warnack need to win before we believe in the priority of georgia. One more question for you before i have to let you go. You wrote a piece titled yes biden can still win. In one part you write, Perpetuating Pessimism is doing the republicans job for them by spreading doom and gloom and diminishing the motivation to turn out and vote. Steve, a to the men. Really quickly tell us more about that. Under all the fundamentals so that biden is actually the front runner. The economy is better, the electoral continues to transform. 10 million new voters turn 18. The majority of them people of color. And that theres been a decline in swing voters. Theres almost a vanishing swing of voters. If theres massive turn out biden is going to win. But thats the big challenge. Are they going to invest, are they going to inspire, are people going to get pessimistic and not turn out. Steve phillips as always thank you very much for coming to The Sunday Show. Thank you for having me, jonathan. Coming up, President Biden hits the state of arizona with efforts to get an amendment on abortion on the ballot in november. I ask two people in the fight how this could change the momentum in the race in their state. Plus we get into some of the worse moments from the Trump Campaign trail. The worsee Trump Campaign trail.

In a sign that arizona appears to be one of the most important battleground states this election cycle, President Biden will be in arizona on tuesday. A state where reproductive rights are front and center. Activists are also hard at work trying to get the 384,000 signatures that are needed by july 3rd to put forth a Ballot Initiative that would enshrine Abortion Protections in Arizona State constitution. Joining me now Arizona State senator pria sonareso. And chris love for Abortion Access in arizona. Thank you so much for coming to The Sunday Show. Chris, im going to start with you. Give us an update. Low close how close are you to getting the 376,000 signatures needed . Were actually very close to that. We started the campaign in chief in september of 2023. Several days later we started our large scale operation to gather the 384,000 Ballot Signatures required to get on the ballot on november 2024. And in january, we announced we had surpassed the minimum number. Can it be a boom to President Bidens chances to winning arizona again this november . I mean, i will say this. We welcome all of the enthusiasm and support for our campaign. And listen, we know the vast majority of arizona voters from across the political spectrum and from various personal reasons that women should have the freedom. Lets talk about the right to Conception Act . What happened now to the legislature. Our right to contraception the Contraception Act is no longer viable. Its not happening. Our effort to bring it to the floor was done because it had been introduced by our senator. We wanted to get a chance to bring this to the floor and bring it to conception in state law. We know that there are other threats that are coming to our rights. Senator, former Vice President mike pence layed out his version for abortion ban this morning. Listen to what he had to say. Were a prolife party. I mean, i really do believe that there is a national role. I would like to see our nominee place a 15 week ban. Will that fly with arizona voters . I dont think so. As chris mentioned, these rights are bipartisan rights. These are supported across the aisle with a Broad Spectrum of the public. We also know that its not going to stop with a 15 week ban. So we need to be protecting affirmatively these rights as quickly as possible in state law our republican majority is limit in the legislature. With a different majority we could change that. This is for both of you in the 90 seconds we have left. I love your thoughts on new reporting showing that republicans plan to lean hard into an anti abortion message
