A quick but delightfully overstuffed conversation with David Chalian for the CNN Politics podcast about THE LIE DETECTIVES and the role of disinformation in campaigns past and present cnn.com/audio/podcasts…

Quick question - Who is more confident that Biden defeats Trump in November - the Biden campaign or the Haley campaign?

Two neighboring governors chatting it up in the East Room or preview to 2028 Dem presidential primary debate?

As of 9:20 pm ET, Donald Trump has collected a total of 120,000 votes in IA and NH (with 35% of vote in) combined and yet that seems to possibly have been enough to deliver a near knockout punch - even as Haley says she plans to continue.

The Trump and Haley campaigns respond to Ron DeSantis leaving the race. 👇

Unfortunately, tomorrow’s scheduled interview on State of the Union w/ Ron DeSantis was cancelled by the campaign. We look forward to having the Governor join us on the show in the near future.

DeSantis was asked by voter about Haley suggesting he isn’t competing seriously in NH and if that was true. DeSantis didn’t answer the question - instead talks about how he differs with Haley. (On the same day as NBD layoffs and no announced NH schedule after today.)

.⁦Chris Christie⁩ on why he’s running: “I always wanted to be president and obviously still do, but whether I would have been motivated ultimately by just that without Donald Trump – it’s very hard for me to answer that question – I don’t know.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cnn…

.⁦Chris Christie⁩: “I fear that what Nikki tries to do at times is be all things to all people. And it concerns me that she’s unwilling to take on Donald Trump that in many ways the things she says empower him.” 🎧🎧🎧👇👇👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cnn…

.⁦⁦Chris Christie⁩ tells me he expects to highlight two key differences with Haley in the closing weeks: Her refusal to take on Trump and her stated support for a state based 6 week abortion ban. LISTEN HERE: 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cnn…
