A rematch between President Biden and Donald Trump is set after former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican primary. Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign communications director, joins Andrea, Ana, and Jose to weigh in on Haley’s exit from the race and how the Biden campaign is reaching out to her supporters.
He said Trump's “agenda is incredibly unpopular. It's as dangerous as it is unpopular. When you're out here talking about the role that you played in overturning Roe, when you're rooting for the economy to crash because you think it's going to help yourself, when you're pledging to serve as a dictator on day one — that is a losing agenda that the American people have rejected time and time again,” Tyler says. “There's room for Democrats, for independents, for moderate Republicans, everybody who’s rejecting the MAGA extremism that now confronts us in Donald Trump. This is the fundamental choice right now as we head into a general election.” - Aired on 03/06/2024.

“My assumption was that, of the Constitution itself, which is that someone who participates in an insurrection against the union should never be allowed to hold office again,” Raskin says. “And it is disgraceful that a great political party, much less Abraham Lincoln's party, a party of liberty and union, should be reduced to a cult of authoritarian personality in league with autocrats and kleptocrats and dictators all over the world.” - Aired on 03/06/2024.

Donald Trump is sending his lawyers from one New York courtroom to another, making them repeatedly ask judges to reduce the amount he must put up to appeal his massive losses in both the E. Jean Carroll case and his NY fraud case.
Judge Kaplan and Judge Engoron have both told Trump's lawyers they will not reduce the amount. This is unsurprising, given that Trump recently boasted that he is worth $14 billion. So putting up $83 million in one case and a half-billion in the other should be a financial walk in the park for Trump. Of course, if he really was worth that much, he would not have to keep making the embarrassing ask of the judges to dramatically reduce the amount he must put up to appeal his cases. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/06/2024.
