It is june 10th. Im Yasmin Vossoughian along with geoff bennett. Were starting with the United States and mexico reaching an agreement that averts President Trumps tariffs on mexican goods. President trump took to twitter friday night to announce the de deal. It expands a program called migrant protection protocols, which allow u. S. Immigration officials to send them to mexico. Despite President Trump touting the agreement as a, quote, new deal, how new the terms are is up for debate. Th mexico had previously agreed to deploy their national guard. Some key elements of the deal had been agreed to months ago but added the two sides had agreed to expand on some of the previous commitments. The official noted that mexicos commitment to deempleploy up to0 troops was modestly larger up from 5,400. And full operations are not expected to be up and running before 2021. Beyond, that the migrant protection program, allowing sigh Asylum Seekers to remain was determined in april. Meanwhile, the president has taken to twitter to dispute reports that parts of the deal with mexico are not actually new. In a series of tweets yesterday, trump calls the reports, quote, false and those who made them are, quote, the enemy of the people and embarrassed. How, trump does say that his administration, quote, has been trying to get some of these border actions for a long time but were not able to get them or get them in full until our signed agreement with mexico. The president also says, quote, some things not mentioned in the press release were agreed upon. Without elaborating, there is now going to be great cooperation between mexico and the u. S. , something that didnt exist for decades before once given threatening to impos tariftea impose tariffs. Speaking with cnbc, Steven Mnuchin says the president will decide after meeting with xi jinping at the g20 meeting in japan later this month. If china wants to move forward with the deal, were prepared to move forward on the terms weve done. If china doesnt want to move forward, then President Trump is perfectly happy to move forward with tariffs to rebalance the relationship. Were going to need to see action and President Trump is going to need to make sure hes clear that were moving in the right direction to a deal. Mnuchin also says that the u. S. And china were close to striking a deal during the previous talks. He said negotiations were, quote, almost 90 done but said that china wanted to go backwards on certain things and he says the two sides have stopped, quote, negotiating. Joe biden as president is pr campaign is not ready to say where the current Vice President stands relative to abortion. It followed the blowback from an exclusive nbc report in which his campaign affirmed that biden was still in favor of the restriction. In an interview with msnbc, bidens Campaign Manager would in the say whether the new circumstances affect other positions biden has held in the past. Does he now support a litmus test for a Supreme Court justice on the issue of abortion . Will he ask a potential Supreme Court justice how theyd rule on ro roe . Im not going to great ahead of the Vice President . Is he not ruling it out anymore . How about his votes five time in the 1990 including two to ban partial birth abortion . Im not going to get out ahead of him on any of this. Is there any he would support. Third trimester abortion i dont know how else to answer the question. He is a supporter of a womans right to cloos. Im n choose. Im not going to get out ahead of him on that. 57 of americans said they selfidentified as prochoice, up 10 since february. Several states who have passed restrictive abortion laws behind this recent shift according to pollster. 77 of americans say they would like the Supreme Court to uphold roe v. Wade. 21 believe protections should be expanded and 16 said leave it alone. 14 , however, want to keep roe with some restrictions and s13 believe it should be overturned. Joining us now from wachl washington, political reporter for the hill, julia manchester. Good morning. Geoff was reading some of these polls. Mrk stands on abortion rights as we are seeing a shift there. How could this potentially impact the 2020 president ial race . Weve already seen it with a shift within joe bidens campaign. Where else could we see shifts on this . Ive actually been talking to various democratic and conservative groups, prochoice and prolife groups. This is going to be a huge base turnout ahead of 2020. Prochoice groups are really looking to target prochoice voters, women in particular, with these increased restrictions that were seeing in states such as alabama and missouri. On the prochoice side were seeing republicans tout President Trumps appointments of various conservative judges and justices across the country to potentially poke holes in rulings like roe v. Wade. From that poll i found a very interesting finding. It said 53 of americans were against essentially voting for a politician that would vote to poke holes or overturn roe v. Wade. That could hurt raeepublicans i 2020. One group of voters id like to look at in particular and i havent seen much polling on this is that suburban white woman vote weve been looking at since 2018 that maybe voted for mitt romney in 2012 but has shifted more and more to the left leftnd President Trump. They tend to vote more liberal on session issues. The abortion issue definitely has a lot of sway with voters like that. Julia, lets talk about these trump tariffs. This strikes me as a classic case of the president creating a crisis so he can step in and fix it and then take credit for it. Hes declaring this thing a win. Thats certainly up for debate. But not everyone in his administration and certainly not people on capitol hill feel the same. Right. We see that the president essentially repackaged this agreement that was agreed on weeks ago with mexican officials and has made it seem like its a win. I think the reason why President Trump has been doing this is in order to essentially tout his negotiating skills. Remember he calls himself the deal making president. Hes the author of the art of the deal. He wants to make it seem to his base voters that he getting tough on mexico, whether on immigration or tariffs. We also saw that white house officials were very much caught off guard last week when members of the Republican Party in the senate, senators like chuck grassley, really pushed back against those tariffs. Were seeing republicans fall if loon with the president saying tariffs were essentially just a negotiating tool in this entire saga. But were seeing that the president isnt backing down off of this issue. Hes continuing to threaten mexico saying if they dont keep up their end of the bargain, hes going to threaten tariffs again. Its interesting to see how his negotiating skills, if you will, have been tested in the public eye through this trade saga with mexico. Julia manchester, thank you. Well talk to you again in a little bit. The fbi and Sheriff Deputies are investigating a sorryies of shooting on the yakama reservation. Two people are in custody. According to the county coroner, for bodies were found at they separate locations in the white swan reservation community, along with a fifth victim who later died at a nearby hospital. Still ahead, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on lessons from the Mueller Report. Plus, well show you all the biggest winners from last nights tony awards. Those stories and a check on the weather when we come right back. Be good while im gone. [ laughing ] woo hoo. Welcome to my house mmm, mmm, mmmmm. Ball. Ball. Ball. Awww, whos a good boy . Its me. Me, me, me. Yuck, thats gross. You got to get that under control. [ dogs howling ] seriously . Embrace the mischief. Say get pets tickets into your x1 voice remote to see it in theaters. Have you read the Mueller Report in full . I have not. Why not . I said from the start of this conversation that i trusted mr. Mueller, took a lot of slings and arrows throughout this process. Every u. S. Attorney i knew said this was a man of great integrity. So why not read the report . I have a concern when you put the entire power of the United States Justice Department behind anything, you can achieve an agenda, you can drive a message. So that was republican congressman rob woodall on kasie dc last night explaining why he didnt read the Mueller Report. Congress is trying to focus debate on the contents of the special investigation with a House Judiciary Committee committ committee. One of the other people scheduled to testify is former white House Counsel john dean, who was a star witness in the watergate hearings that eventually led to impeachment proceedings against president nixon. President trump has already taken note of the hearing tweeting yesterday they are even bringing in cnn sleaze bag attorney john dean. Unbelievable to see he admitted he didnt read the Mueller Report and making excuse ass to why he didnt read the Mueller Report. Its pretty important for every single american to read, if you can, the 480 pages of the Mueller Report. Thats why democrats are having a hearing at 2 00. Lets check the weather with bill karins. We are watching soggy weather continuing, especially in the southeast. That has been by far the worst weather. Now well turn our attention to the west. We had some pretty good fires out there and leading to an evacuation in san francisco. The worst will be in the desert southwest. This was the sand fire, the one in a caused all the problems this weekend. We had windy conditions and low humidity. Things are going to improve as High Pressure moves away, winds will be light but the heat is going to remain in the west, and it will remain much of this week, with temperatures well above average. We call this a heat dome and extreme heat indices will stick with us throughout the week, a lot of areas in the desert up to 105, 110, even 115. We finely had the crest on the Mississippi River this weekend in st. Louis. Chicago likes great. The east coast had all that horrible weather this weekend and fatalities with flash flooding. Its creeping north. After a gorgeous weekend, its over with and clouds are creeping into philadelphia and eventually into boston. Were not talking flooding, the ground can take it. Looks like one to two inches of rain for the northern half of jerseys through the catskills and airports, too. This could cause road delays. That will be the worst of it. By the time we get to tuesday, we will see a really nice forecast, a lot of sunshine returns. Looks like a picture perfect tuesday afternoon from d. C. To philly to new york. The rain, by the way, in boston will only be Tuesday Morning and then clearing out and will hit showers and storms in florida. Thats kind of typical. Once you get in the summer months and humidity is up, we get those almost every single day. It was over in the southeast and well get back to typical southern weather soon. The House Judiciary Committee was far from the only thing bothering President Trump this weekend. He complained on twitter, quote, if president obama had made the deals i have made, the corrupt media would be hailing them as incredible and a National Holiday would be immediately declared. The wall street Journal Editorial Board wrote this about the weak job numbers. We reported on friday. Employers added a mere 75,000 jobs last month but even these paltry gains were erased by the labor departments downward revisions for april and march. The Unemployment Rate held at 3. 6 , the lowest in 50 years. But workers dont appear to be leaving the sidelines like they were last year. The u. S. Labor force has lost 580,000 workers since january, the first springtime decline in 2013. As we learned in the obama years, Monetary Policy alone cant overcome bad fiscal trade or regulatory policy. Still ahead, former Boston Red Sox star david ortiz is in stable condition after being shot in the dominican republic. What police are saying about the incident this morning. Incident this morning. Former Boston Red Sox slugger david ortiz is in stable condition this morning after being shot in the back at a club in Santo Domingo in the dominican republic. Police say ortiz was approached by two assailants, one of whom is still at large and the bullet that hit ortiz in the back exited through his stomach. According to witnesses, only one shot was fired. A Police Press Conference is expected later this morning. A surprise ending to an already curious triple crown season as 101 long shot sir winston held off the favorite to win the 151st belmont stakes. It is the second triple crown race in a row for the trainer who also worked with war of will. The 73rd tony award was hosted by james cordon. H haddestown took down best original and best score. A the fairy man won four tonys and brian kranston won best leading actor for his performance in network. But it was ali stroker who won for her performance in oklahoma, making her the first wheelchair user to ever receive a tony. We didnt mention this and i dont know if you watched the n tennis match for rafael nadal to win the open. He is just a great player. Still ahead, democratic hopefuls stormed iowa over the weekend hoping to win offer voters for the 2020 election. Plus hundreds of thousands of protesters filled the streets in hong kong challenging a new law that would allow citizens there to be extradited to china on a range of offenses.

Senator Kamala Harris is at 7 and seven other candidates hit 1 in the poll, helping them qualify for one of the first debates, which is a little bit more than two weeks away. 19 Democratic Candidates were in iowa yesterday for the biggest gathering of 2020 contenders yet where each jockeyed to stand out during their fiveminute speeches at a fundraiser.
