we re seeing from donald trump. she s calling him a liar and slamming him for avoiding the debate. as a two-person race with the former president. plus down by the border, mike johnson and dozens of house republicans are taking their immigration fight directly to the spot where thousands of migrants vab arriving every day. they are blaming president biden for the surge. now they are also opening impeachment proceedings against his homeland security secretary. and hitting the trail. president biden will use the insurrection anniversary this weekend to kick off his 2024 campaign push. leaning in on his argument that the former president is a danger to democracy. i m dana bash. let s go behind the headlines and inside politics. first up, the 2024 race. you are looking at live pictures of kingston, new hampshire, where nikki haley is about to speak. just 12 day ss to go before the votes are cast in iowa and gop candidates are in earlien contest states pushing for ever ....
In advertising and the momentum we have been seeing, i wonder how much margins will matter here. if ron desantis ends upcoming a lot closer to donald trump in iowa than people expect, you can imagine that being fuel for some donors to get back in the game. so i think we re now in a waiting game to see what these margins are more than anything else. i think that s right. and usually i feel like in years past, you have seen the rise of someone, particularly in iowa. you re starting to feel momentum. you re just not seeing that in the same way that we have seen in years past. donald trump kind of broke the mold with how these contests go. perhaps that s happening again in another way because both new hampshire and iowa do lo surprises. 30 points is a lot. you work for the boston ....
Are still undecided voters trying to decide between haley, desantis and even vivek ramaswamy. so these final 12 days are critical in terms of people finally tuning into this race in the new year. but eva was talking about the $24 million that nikki haley raised. you can see the fruits of that labor on television ads here. so she is end something in a remarkable way really with more money than ron desantis. he is very much trimmed down his campaign ads almost to nothing. that s been a crescendo from haley really matching a decrescendo from desantis in the final days of this race that few people would have predicted a year ago. i was just thinking the same thing. think about how much money ron desantis had at the beginning of of his race. before i let you go, we have to talk about the man still far and away the front runner in iowa and new hampshire. let s stick with iowa right now, where you are. former president trump has a new message today for his base. ....
Like the debt during his tenure as president. or even desantis was doing it on eligibility. but it s not on this notion of his legal peril and his potential threat to american democracy. i shouldn t even say potential. donald trump has promised part of his pledge is to govern in undemocratic ways. it s to use the government to go after political enemies. that s not conjecture. that s donald trump s promise to voters. chris christie i interviewed him a couple years ago, and he said he still thought donald trump was a better president than joe biden. now he s put out a press release echoing what he said on television that he s not going to vote for donald trump if donald trump is the nominee. it also breaks the pledge that he made to get on the debate stage. because now they are over. one of the things that s been ....
But there s an interesting exchange for one voter who says he does not believe ron desantis has been strong enough against donald trump. desantis had had this to say. i don t think donald trump ultimately can win an election. they are just going to be so many voters that are activated to come out and vote against him that it s not even related to policy. it s related to other things. we have seen it on the ballot. how many times now, 2018, 2020, 2022, most recently in 2023, and the whole election will end up being a referendum on his behavior. so even though the race for second place is front and center right now between desantis and nikki haley, there s still an electability argument also overlaid on top of that. talking to many voters, they have questions about the former the president. what is his legal circumstance going to be should he become the nominee. talking to many voters, there ....
