KRISTEN WELKER: Let's talk about some of the challenges that President Biden faces. One of them is his age. You've been an outspoken defender on this issue. This week, the First Lady went so far to say it's an asset. But voters aren't buying that. What does the campaign need to do to address this issue?
GOV. TIM WALZ: Well, first there is something to be said about age and wisdom and I think…
BRENNAN: So you said recently that if your candidate doesn't win the nomination, you would still support the party nominee. But back in June, when you said you personally decided not to run for president, you said if Trump wins, Republicans will lose again. He didn't deliver on his promises to drain the swamp, secure the border, instill fiscal responsibility. He has numerous investigations. He…
AMNA NAWAZ: A new South Korean law will ban the centuries-old practice of raising and selling dogs for food. Parliament voted today to ban the production and sale of dog meat. Animal-rights groups pushed for the change, but reactions among the general public were mixed.
LEE SOO-JIN: I am raising my children and a dog together. The dog is my third child. I'm so glad the bill was passed today…
JAKE TAPPER: Turning to the topic of climate, 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth, and Americans are already feeling the impact. Just yesterday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that the U.S. experienced 28 weather and climate-related disasters that cost at least $1 billion last year, another record. Governor Desantis, here in Florida, ma-- I’m sorry,…
ABBY PHILLIP: I want to just ask you, Charlamagne, I mean, you made some waves in a recent interview saying that you regret endorsing Joe Biden. Why?
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: It's not that I regret endorsing Joe Biden. It’s just that, you know, I think that we can all get burned, you know, by politicians. Because when I say endorsing, like, you know, I put my name and reputation on the line with my…
NORAH O’DONNELL: Finally, tonight, I think you'll like this story. History was made in Minnesota's capital city of St. Paul today. Or should we say, HER-story was made. St. Paul’s new city council was sworn in this afternoon, made up entirely of women. And get this: six of the seven council members are women of color, and they are all under the age of 40. Four of them are new members, and say…
GABE GUTIERREZ: The president's visit comes as his support among black voters is slipping. In 2020 he carried 92% of that group. But a recent NBC News poll shows just 61% would now choose him over a Republican.
Do you think that the Biden administration is taking the black vote for granted?
FLETCHER SMITH: Yes. His staff is.
GUTIERREZ: Fletcher Smith worked with the Biden campaign in…
JEN PSAKI: So apparently, there was a big meeting recently between two of my former bosses, President Obama and President Biden. And in that meeting, which was first reported by The Washington Post, the two discussed concerns President Obama has about the strategy and operations of the Biden campaign. One source told the Post, quote, Obama grew animated in discussing the 2024 election and…
JASON JOHNSON: If I were Joe Biden- I'm not trying to be glib when I say this Joy, but if I were Joe Biden, he is two or three months behind in talking to Charlamagne again. He is two or three months behind between, you know, knocking on doors and getting into communities in ways he should be. Putting out Vice President Kamala Harris. Quite frankly, right now, if I were in Joe Biden's office,…
