question, i do regret it, and i did try for a while before. when do you believe do you believe president trump thinks he actually lost the election or not? i do think he believes it. that s been part of what has been scaring me as i ve been watching from afar. you know, at first i wrl thought he wouldn t run again. i honestly thought this was a lot of his bluster, which he s good at doing. he s doubling down, will never admit to losing. i thought he was going to raise summon any to pay off legal bills, et cetera. but i think now because his base is reacting to him the way that it is and polls are showing that he is still very much the leader of the republican party and very, very few republicans are refusing to speak up about his role in january 6th, but also this current attack on democracy with regard to election integrity, i think he is going to run again. that s why i m speaking out the
i mean, you know, you see that and it s sort of like you can see potentially what could happen in the future. but, congresswoman, you tweeted that republicans see trump as a sore loser, that people should stop fearing this disillusioned man. but in the contexas of that and what we just saw, do you think you re underselling the threat he poses with some of this behavior? listen, i certainly think he s posing a threat but he is weakened and delusional. i think many of these things they try to push into law and these clowns he s endorsing, a, they won t win, and b, many of their legal the bills they put in are so ridiculous they ll get thrown out. so i do think a lot of this is going to backfire. as a republican i wish he wouldn t run, but i am confident
the person who is most directly affected as former vice president biden because the mayor is a pretty moderate centrist guy and that is the lane that biden is trying to pursue. and one of the reasons we are told by people who are in the bloomberg camp that he is looking very serious, i can t imagine he wouldn t run at this point, sending staffers down to get on the ballot in alabama and for him to pull back now, it would not make him look very serious. it seems to me that one of the reasons and his aides say one of the reasons he is doing this is because quite frankly back in march, he was going to get in and then decided not to when he saw biden was going to get in the race and thought he was going to be too difficult to compete against. now a few months later, biden seems like a somewhat weakened candidate in a shaky candidate and bloomberg thinks maybe he
she was a mom and she put everything she had into our campaign. i want to thank my parents and my siblings as well as my staff, led by our campaign manager, lisa tucker as well as our supporters who made the small contributions, who knocked on doors and made messages and believed in us every step along the way. thank you. i want to think the media. shepard: the first casualty of the proudest presidential contest on the democratic side. california congressman eric swalwell formally dropping out. he s going to remain in congress. you might recall when he entered the contest, he told the the san francisco chronicle he wouldn t run again for his house seat. seems he s returning to congress and likely will. he didn t spell it out as such but he feels he can do a lot of good there. remains to be seen what he does now after this, whether he stays
that s the official position of the party, and everyone will have to get in line behind that. dana: the other thing we ve been waiting for, michael, is the possible announcement by former vice president joe biden that he s going to get into this race. he keeps flirting with the idea or leading up to it, i guess waiting until april. he hasn t spoken about this too much. what do you expect to hear from him, if anything, in the next week or so? i suspect you ll hear that he form aally announces his candidacy for president. you ve got recent polling that shows he s getting about a third of the vote in the primary, and he s the only democrat who beats trump by more than the margin of error in the any poll, so i don t know why he wouldn t run. but i also know that he s very smart about dealing with people talking about kitchen table issues, and the inner workings of a special prosecutor s office in washington, d.c. isn ting what most people talk about, and joe biden s a very good with poli
