for our next defending democracy, president biden, making that a cornerstone of his campaign as he takes on trump, whose doubling down on his calls for revenge plus exactly i d like vacations, a private jet, supreme court justice clarence thomas finally admitting that the lavish trips that were paid for by a republican megadonor the reporter who first exposed the trips is my guest. and an out front exclusive for the first time, we take you inside the unprecedented security operation. now underway to protect one of the biggest political events. let s go out front good evening. i m briana keeler in for erin burnett outfront tonight. biden takes on trump, the president defending democracy today on the world stage, while the former president was on social media attacking the american justice system, president from biden in france to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d-day. but sending a very clear message to voters at home biden didn t use trump s name, but he made it abu
women who sacrificed palazzo, this country are suckers and losers and so the contrast that american voters saw this week and today specifically, i ll cannot be more greater of a justification of the character of the two men and the focus of the two men who are running to be president of the united states biden made the case today in his speech for ukraine s fight against russia and he made the case for us support for that. he also apologized to president zelenskyy for the delay in american military aid. but when you look at a recent quinnipiac university poll it found only 2% of americans rank the russia, ukraine war is their top issue. how do you engage people on that when they re so interested in it well, look, i think that one we have to follow the leadership of president biden because he knows with the experience that he has that this is important, that democracy is fragile and that we have to keep working we continue it. meanwhile, on the other side, donald trump says that

being a president, you have to be a man of integrity so if it is not biden and it is not trump, who would you vote for if the election were today? i ve actually started looking into robert kennedy jr. i think he s running as an independent and he seemed so far a man of integrity in my opinion why is that? and what about his policies du like and i m still researching a lot of his policies and looking to see one of his things as he s trying to separate the conglomerate of between corporations in states and government in trying to break that apart and break that romance that have a fair part so do you worry at all that he might be a spoiler in this race, that he actually cannot win but that he could maybe push the election towards one candidate or the other is both the biden and trump campaigns have said that he will and one
