Act, we did so much with regard to chips, bringing jobs back into america, good paying union jobs. he worked very hard to develop the vision and address the climate crisis. he has done an amazing job. to ensure that racial equity, gender, lgbtq plus equity is included in every single policy that he puts forward. let me move on to another 2024 race, one that will be watched very closely, expected to be one of the most expensive ever and that is your bid to be california s next senator. talk to us about why you decided to throw your hat into the ring. more importantly, how do you plan to stand apart from your democratic colleagues who have also declared their candidacies like representative adam schiff and katie porter? i intend to put forth to the
Forced to. he was in trouble. this is not to say that race has not been an issue in this campaign, and yet it s only been in the last couple of weeks that the discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn. several things had ended presidential candidacies. howard dean just yelled off-key, and that was it, you know, his presidency is done. i have already condemned in unequivocal terms the statements of reverend wright that have caused such controversy, and in some cases, pain. but the truth is, that isn t all that i know of the man. the man i met more than 20 years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my christian faith, and who over 30 years has led a church that serves the community by doing god s work here on earth. the church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligence, and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and

When they re really on the side of china or, you know, globalization or globalism, and against their own electorate. isn t that the case? undeniably. and it s infuriating that in blue states, where we could have more enthusiastic candidacies and campaigns, we often nominate these rhino republicans. and right now, the only area code where funding for ukraine is universally popular is the 202 area code, because out in the country, people are wondering why we don t care more about our own sovereignty. i think it s debasing for our own leaders to go there and pay for the pension persist of ukrainian government officials while here in our country we have pension funds for our police and fire fighters that go unfunded. and when you see the extent to which we re willing to pour cash on an historically corrupt country, it is as if we have learned no lessons from the past.
In inuntil april and seems there s a waiting game of others in the field. and he s also out in iowa at the end of the week, but folks like mike pence, folks like mike pompeo, even former arkansas governor hutchinson also making the rounds, there s a bit of a hurry-up and wait aspect to the candidacies and arguments for and against that and certainly a number of them can t raise federal funds until they launch the campaign which would put them in a difficult spot with folks like trump, desantis, and even tim scott who have a lot of money they could tap into pretty quickly. frozen field on both sides for the moment. thank you for getting up early and starting your day with us. we appreciate it. still ahead here we re going to switch to business news and get a live report from cnbc.
From biden has left a void, i should say that some democrats are starting to ask questions like is there a chance that biden won t run. and a few in his own party are taking steps to be ready just in case he doesn t. california governor newsom, illinois governor pritzker, a few senators including klobuchar of minnesota have all quietly laid some ground work for possible presidential candidacies, were biden not to run. which goes to show you the field wouldn t clear for vice president harris in the case of president biden opting against seeking a second term. the most likely outcome, he will. but as he waits some in his party have begun to wonder. so interesting, great stuff, thank you, jonathan lemire, always great to have you. prosecutors in the club q shooting are required to come up with a motive. the new evidence we re expecting from it next. from it next boost your team s productivity with samsung s fastest processor yet.
Robert o brien, john bolton are also considering candidacies. we ll see how feasible any of those are. on haley, there s a sense that she wanted to get in ahead of tim scott, senator from south carolina, her home state thinking that she needed to jump in first to ward off that challenge. look, this gives her a few days of headlines here. she s polling low. but this gives her a chance to have the stage to herself for a few days. we re waiting to see when others jump in. and the biggest fish into the water is ron desantis. there s no chance that trump will welcome him. and governor desantis was asked about nikki haley and asked about an announcement and he didn t engage with the question. do you see any of these nikki haley for starters and other potential candidates running against donald trump whether it s mike pence or mike pompeo or potentially governor ron
Presidential field gets a second entry this week. and several other prospects are taking important steps toward candidacies as well. the former south carolina governor nikki haley is scheduled to declare her intensions on wednesday. haley, you might recall, she was donald trump s first baemp to the united nations will be the only declared republican candidate other than her former boss. trump so far anyway seems more concerned about the florida go governor ron desantis. who is pulling together his own campaign team. trump has repeatedly disparaged desantis in recent weeks and the new york times reports one big question as desantis gears up is whether and when to return trump s fire. this from that story. quote, for month, mr. desantis has pursued a strategy of conflict avoidance, but now he faces the pressing question of how long this approach can work. mr. trump has spent weeks trying to goad mr. desantis into a fight. our great reporters are back with us. that story now notes he s calling him meatball as well,
Donald trump, before he went on the campaign trail, nikki haley s indication has turned this into a sprint. the last eight years is a carousel that led to this moment. what you saw this morning was donald trump on a radio program taking direct shots at who, nikki haley, who intends to be the first other emergent individual in this race. i want you to hear what donald trump said about nikki haley. quote, she s a very ambitious person, she just couldn t stay in her seat. she suffers from something, she s overly ambitious. this has the echoes of 2015 all over it. calling out glenn youngkin and ron desantis, suggesting they would not have won their bids for governor in virginia and florida respectively, if he had not helped their candidacies here. when you look at these numbers, this is the challenge is that donald trump, anywhere from
Passed a few months ago is going to make a meaningful difference but it s going to take time to bend that curve. yeah. having a real, real director of the atf which we now do, steve dettelbach is a wonderful guy. it s a start but now we need to fund the atf because, i mean, i have hope from looking at things we can still do to fix this and save lives. we re not going to get rid of gun violence but we can lower the gun violence death rate and as long as there are people willing to work on that i will keep working with them. i guess the other thing i wanted to ask you is, you know, we have seen the force of this as a political issue and you re right. there are people who wasn t just a message this was what their candidacies were about. you see that with the overturning of roe. do you really see a future where these become sort of two central i know you tie it to
