the anxiety in democratic circles about biden standing in this race and the fact that the pathway for him, though doable, look slim and narrow, focused on sweeping being those three former blue all states of michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. if this doesn't go well, i think you're going to see a lot of anxiety in democratic circles because no matter how many doubts the biden campaign can inflame about trump and they can, i mean, there is a lot of resistance. the trump, as long as his own approval rating, the presence on approval rating is down around 40% he will be in a vulnerable position is much closer to the presidents who lost in approval than to the president's who won. and again, they are each facing these headwinds will be fascinating, unprecedented frankly, to see ron browsing, great to have you here and appreciate it so alec baldwin just announced the launch of his new family reality show. so if alloc is watching some advice from reality star kim
capabilities to control it and to be on it. so i think they are along for the ride at least in my family are excited. >> so if this launch takes place today butch and sunny are scheduled to dock with the international space station tomorrow just after noon. they'll spend a little more than a week in space testing this new star liner spacecraft and if all goes well with that test, nasa hopes to have a second commercial option for bringing u.s. astronauts to and from the international space station dana. >> dana: something to watch. we're keeping our eyes on it. thank you, jonathan. >> bill: an hour from now, back to that. meanwhile new details on the illegal venezuelan migrant accused of shooting two cops in new york on monday. officials saying he might be a member of the largest and most vicious criminal gang in his home country. want to bring in a former el
