uses the strike did call on western allies for more air defense systems and ammunition. >> and it's become the latest battleground in the fight for reproductive rights. an attempt by an alabama lawmaker to protect ivf after ruling from the state's highest court may not go as far as some advocates would like. we're following these major philippine stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central >> it's feeling on officially, official as the 2024 campaign enters, a familiar new phase biden versus trump, the current president and the former president, albeit wrapping up their party's nomination. nominations last night, but now they are trading jabs and they're vying to win over nikki haley supporters. but poll after poll reveals a skeptical american public that largely does not want this rematch, not necessarily surprising as president, they both have notched historically low approval numbers. we're going
12:03 pm
to talk about how we got here. but first let's talk about what happens next. cnn's kristen holmes is near trump headquarters in florida. so kristen trump didn't moderate his haley attacks today, but does his campaign see an opening here >> well they absolutely do brianna, what you're talking to his various campaign advisors, they know that a race with joe biden rematch is going to be incredibly tight and they also know that they are going to need every single vote that they can get. and that includes some of these nikki haley supporters don't they are aware that some of these people are just people who are never going to vote for donald trump. they are republicans would decided they would not backed donald trump under any circumstances, but some of them are republicans who are just look king for an alternative to donald trump. and those are the voters that they are trying to get people with conservative values who wouldn't vote democratic under any circumstances the point to mention here is that part of the reason donald trump and his team have been so annoyed? but nikki haley wouldn't drop out
12:04 pm
of the race. is because they wanted to project this image of unity. they wanted to say the republicans, all around were coming around coalescing around donald trump as the nominee. and then they could move forward because he needs again, the biggest base that he can possibly get going into this very competitive race. we are starting to see that we already saw senate majority leader mitch mcconnell a coming out and endorsing trump. the two men have not spoken in three years now, donald trump is responding to that on truth social saying, thank you, mitch. i look forward to working with you and republicans senate majority to make america great again, against the two have not spoken, but you are starting to see people who really have no relationship with donald trump bore have talked poorly about and we've even in recent weeks coming out and backing the former president as the republican party become the president of trump. we also heard for the republican national committee a celebrating him as the because i'm div nominee, brianna, as you know, that is a very big deal because it gives trump and his team the access to the entire infrastructure that the
12:05 pm
rnc has across the country, as well as donor lists and fundraising abilities and money does a very important thing to run a presidential campaign >> yeah, certainly, kristen holmes live for us in west palm beach. thank you. boris. >> let's get the view now from the white house with cnn's kevin liptak and kevin, it's hard to describe this as a new chapter for the white house because the biden team has essentially been assuming that donald trump was going to be the republican nominee. so how are they responding to the news today? >> yeah, i still think they view this as a pivot moment as president biden turns towards the general election campaign and they really do hope that as it becomes clear that trump is the presumptive def nominee, that voters will come to regard him as such as voters tune in and as president biden makes his case, it will become clear and clear that this is a biden versus trump rematch. and even though that that particular rematch isn't necessarily popular with the american people. pulled they do hope that it will become clear this
12:06 pm
contrast, this choice that americans have in front of them because according to their own research, many voters at this point just don't believe that trump will be the nominee. and until that happens it's very hard for them to make this argument to remind voters of the chaos that trump brought with him when he was in the white house of the policies that he's planning to impose if he were to return to the white house. and so i think they do really view this as a kickoff week as they look to sharpen that contrast with the american people and it was very interesting this morning when nikki haley dropped her bid for the republican nomination, they were very quick to try and peel off some of those voters to make this argument that president biden represents some of the attributes that haley was presenting to her coalition as well. president biden saying in a statement, nikki haley was willing to speak the truth about trump, about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from
12:07 pm
wrong, about his cowering before vladimir putin. very interesting, the president goes on to say, donald trump made clear he doesn't want nikki haley supporters. i want to be clear. there is a place for them in my campaign and so the recognition that there is this imperative to try and find voters everywhere that they can, who just will not vote for trump, who really are turned off by the attributes that trump brought to the presidency. i think that will continue as well tomorrow when we see president biden deliver his state of the union address, the most watched television appearance any president of the year, certainly a very important moment for president biden tomorrow. >> yeah, i guess the kickoffs part of the kickoff week, kevin liptak, live from the white house. thanks so much, brianna. >> all right. let's break this all down with the great larry sabato's director of the center for politics the university of virginia. larry just how do you see this race right now >> i think it's a very close and it's likely to be vicious.
12:08 pm
probably has to be vicious because the stakes are so high this is not the kind of race that comes around every four years i might compare it to 1968 for example, when the stakes were so high and the candidates, frankly, we're not beloved by the electorate than that case, democrat hubert humphrey and republican richard nixon. but a choice had to be made. you could argue about whether the right choice was made, but it's those kinds of stakes that exist in 2024. people have to focus on that. they have to get away from their inability to accept what has been obvious for weeks and months. this is a rematch. this is a rematch. people have to accept that and come to terms with it because it's either going to be joe biden or it's going to be donald trump in the oval office and those are the third party candidates may will steer the election to one of these two candidates, but they're not going to be in the
12:09 pm
oval office. it's really important for people to focus on that fundamental fact yeah, any warning signs for either of these candidates that are really standing out to you today after the results last night? >> well, there are loads of warning signs for our society. of course, the greater tendency toward violence, which is building once again all the elements are there and we all have to be on watch for it and do everything we can to prevent it. but as far as political signals that matter. for donald trump. clearly, there's a quarter to a third of the republican party, or at least the people who voted in the republican primaries, which included some democrats and independents who simply won't accept donald trump and don't want donald trump back in the oval office. he can can attract some of them back. the traditional republicans who voted for haley. but he's never going to be able to attract back the democrats and independents for the most part
12:10 pm
who voted and even some of the never trump republicans. so that's his warning for president biden. i think the warning is twofold. even active democrats in many cases don't understand what he has done over the past three and going on for years, they're not familiar with his achievements and accomplishments. i know that surprises him. it probably surprises its staff, but for various reasons, people have not seized on the protection they have got to use the campaign and also the state of the union address to make clear what it is they've actually done and the other part will be very distasteful to people, but it's absolutely necessary. they're running against a candidate who has compiled and almost unbelievably long list of outrages and insults and things that have never been associated with the presidency. and they're going to have to use them well, every single day, maybe hour by hour, and
12:11 pm
they certainly have enough to pull from i think you're right, people have been muddling through a pandemic and a post pandemic. this has been incredibly occupying and the lives of people for years, certainly in the early years of the biden biden administration, you mentioned when i asked you about warning signs, the warning sign of a tendency toward violence. >> what >> scenario concerns you the most larry oh that's, easy. >> if donald trump should lose. but of course he won't acknowledge losing. but if the facts clearly show and those who study this clearly are of the belief that the votes tallied favored biden and not trump we have a pretty good idea of how he's going to react. we know he'll never concede. his base, which is still because of trump's big lie. still believing that he actually won the 2020 election
12:12 pm
when he most certainly did not. that is the set of circumstances most likely to produce islands. but there are plenty of things that can happen on the campaign trail. high emotions are prevailing, especially this year with these two candidates. and at any on any, on any day the chemistry set of american politics could produce an explosion we all need to be concerned about that. and to the then we can have an effect on it through our own commentary our own beliefs, the way we conduct ourselves, maybe we can help to lower the temperature a little bit. but i think it's out of our control for the most part. >> you mentioned the third party effect. what do you think the effect is of rfk junior as he's now? boys to be on the ballot in some battleground states. most recently, nevada. >> it's almost certainly going to hurt joe biden more than donald trump. to what degree? i can't say. no one could say at
12:13 pm
this point. but when you look at who's likely to vote for the name rfk junior and many voters there's even in october, november won't know his real record or how he differs from his father and his other relatives who strongly oppose him he has the potential to shift the electoral college, just like happened in 2016, to donald trump, it was the third-party candidates that's stripped. hillary clinton of at least two and probably more of the key states that went to donald trump and gave him an electoral majority, even though he lost the popular vote by 3 million that is a serious consideration. i hope for anyone who's thinking about voting for rfk junior or jill stein of the greens, or cornell west, who i imagine as a pure independent or a no labels candidate, whoever the heck it turns out to be, if they even have a candidate these candidates are going to do some
12:14 pm
of donald trump's dirty work for them and they're going to hurt joe biden and people who are thinking about voting for them need to understand what they're doing >> larry sabato, always great to get your perspective. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, briana >> a russian missile landing within several hundred yards of ukraine's president, was he targeted and haitian gangs now controlling estimated 80% of the country's capital. and one of their leaders is now warning of a genocide. unless the prime minister steps down, we have those stories and many more coming up on cnn news central with jake tapper today it for cnn dr. time.com, we've been hard at work and we finally did get your mic. and so i can find >> a shop with thousands of cars were >> no hit to my credit. >> yes >> go to that time. that sounds

12:19 pm
>> united states of scandal with jake tapper next sunday at nine on cnn >> the white house is now calling on house speaker mike johnson to bring ukraine aid up for a vote after today's deadly russian missile so strike that nearly hit ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is convoy explosion happened in the port city of odessa as zelenskyy was meeting with the prime minister of greece. a source tells us the missile landed just 500 yards away from the convoy. and that both leaders felt the impact. ukrainian officials say at least five people were killed, multiple others were injured. let's go now to cnn's senior international correspondent, fred pleitgen. fred, what is zelenskyy saying about this attack in odessa? well, it's underscoring that thing at appear to be pretty close and one of the interesting things that we've heard from his, he said that the greek prime minister was there. they did a tour actually of the port of odessa where he told the greek prime minister of the importance of the port of odessa. and as they were essentially about to leave that
12:20 pm
area is when this missile attack apparently took place. now volodymyr zelenskyy goes even a little bit further than saying he felt the impact. he also said that both leaders actually saw the missile as it was coming in. and right before it landed. and also of course, heard the very loud explosion as well. the ukrainians are saying that the russians apparently used a pretty large missile with a very low large warhead. of course, making all this all the more dangerous i want to listen into some of what volodymyr zelenskyy said afterwards, those listening >> my bachelor's i'd say, you know that we saw this strike today. well, much to skim, you can see who we are dealing with i'm so they don't care where they strike lashes. i know that there were victims today. i don't know all the details yet but i know that there are dead and wounded concrete knowledge. we need to defend ourselves first and foremost the best way to do that is with an air defense system, a number on it so zelenskyy at that point saying he didn't have the details yet. however, boris as
12:21 pm
you mentioned, the ukrainian navy later coming out saying that five people were killed and others were wounded. didn't give an exact number as to how many people were wounded. the russian side has now acknowledged that they did conduct a strike on odessa in that port area earlier today, they claimed that they hit a warehouse containing unmanned sea drones. of course, this comes only a day after the ukrainian say they sank a russian warship in the black sea using c-drone. so whether or not this may have been retaliation is unclear, but it certainly seems like a pretty close call for the ukrainian president bores fred pleitgen, very important update. thanks so much fred, brianna haitians are frantically trying to escape exploding gang violence in the capital city of port-au-prince as murderous gangs tried to >> overthrow the country's prime minister, ariel henry. he is now safely in puerto rico. opposition groups are demanding that the prime minister resign, including a notorious gang leader behind a wave of attacks against police and the government. cnn's havana-based correspondent, patrick oppmann,
12:22 pm
is monitoring the unrest. patrick, this gang leader is warning the prime minister of civil war and genocide. what can you tell us? >> well, it seems that the prime minister's plan to bring in kenyan troops. that's where he was when this latest unrest kicked off that is unified some of these gangs that usually are fighting each other for turf as well as the government. and so that they have risen up in force it's the last well-armed haitian police and they have burned a police stations. they have forced police to further retreat. they have the upper hand here and they've prevented haitian prime minister ariel henry from returning to his own countries, unable at this point. and air travel is suspended because one of the places they have targeted through these days of terrible violence has been a port-au-prince is airports. so it's unclear where this goes from here because henry is an
12:23 pm
unpopular prime minister. he was not elected he came into power after the assassination 2021 of the president of haiti. and for years, the us has cold on haley on r0 to hold elections. he is responded the security situation in haiti doesn't allow that, certainly now, it certainly does not seem like any kind of selections could be held, but that is what us is calling for henry to do to begin a transition to call for elections to see if that quells some others violence. but for the haitians caught in the crossfire out, they need someone to come in, some forced to come in from abroad, from wherever. and save them from these gangs, something in their government apparently is unable to do yeah, it's unreal to pictures as we look at them. patrick, thank you so much for that report. and still ahead, president biden just suffered his first defeat of the primary season. we're going to talk to the guy who managed to beat him

12:28 pm
>> we take pride that every day, say i use splenda i'm katie bo lillis in washington and this is cnn >> stop me. if you've heard this before, the house of representatives is gearing up for a crucial vote on a government funding package just days ahead. have a partial government shutdown. cnn's lauren fox is live for us on capitol hill with the latest lauren deja vu all over again. what's different this time?
12:29 pm
>> yeah what's different is the fact that they are actually moving forward with a series of bills that would actually fund the government through this fiscal year. this is half of the bills that they actually need to pass. the other half will be necessary to get done by march 22. but obviously this puts them on a chord first of avoiding a government shutdown and not having to do those repeated short-term spending bills. but i did catch up with a number three republican whip tom emmer, who i asked, what's next on the agenda after you get through these spending bills. and are you committed to moving forward with more and additional year? >> ukraine aid? he said he does expect that ukraine aid will come to the floor. exactly how that happens though. he was less clear on that is because there but really two options, right now, republican leaders could move forward with a plan to just put legislation on the floor. and he says, ultimately,
12:30 pm
it's going going to be up to them to decide if they want to go that route or if they want to go a more complicated procedural route. here's what he said >> so at this point, do you think the discharge petition is a better route or do you think house republican leadership putting a bill on the floor is the better route for ukrainian. >> we'll leave that for the speaker to determine ultimately my job how again is to make sure that he is well aware of what our members will do, what they won't do, what they can do, and what they can't do. and once he's apprised of that, which is our job, then he'll make the call and as we've laid out many times before, the house speaker is under immense pressure from his right flank not to bring additional ukraine aid to the floor, which is why this alternative option of using a discharge petition could be a potential tool to get ukraine aid on the floor and nine make it the responsibility of johnson votes. emmer said that the political considerations here aren't top of mind for the speaker, but of course he's
12:31 pm
already heard from some publicans who've argued he could lose his job if he pushes forward with that ukraine aid force. >> lauren fox live for us on capitol hill. thanks so much. >> it was almost a clean sweep for president biden on super tuesday, he dominated his few rivals. he won around 80% of the vote and almost every contest, except one which we mentioned by the way, quite often yesterday american samoa, 91 entire votes cast in the democratic caucuses. and lost 51 to 42. jason palmer a little known venture capitalist from baltimore, who has never held public office. >> palmer's campaign says he didn't visit the island himself, but he did appear virtually at events. and he had three full-time campaign staffers on the ground. that is obviously not jason palmer, but he is joining us right now. jason. thanks so much for coming on. cnn news central and sharing part of your afternoon with us >> i'm wondering when went
12:32 pm
through your mind when you found out you won the primary in american samoa well, i knew >> that there was a lot of support from the people in american samoa because i've done multiple virtual meetings with them, my team on the ground was keeping me updated with pictures that seem to come in every 30 minutes of new signs that will be putting being put up and new people they had talked to who were interested in my campaign. and what i could do for the island. i think it really was the first time that a presidential candidate really took american samoa seriously and listen to the people and responded to their needs yeah it probably helps that you say it correctly and i realize i've been seeing it incorrectly. you had a message for them. >> now you can't any of us here on the mainland have just never heard it correctly. so gay, forgive us to, of course, it's an it's an education. you campaign remotely. can you talk a little bit about that process?
12:33 pm
>> yeah. well, you know, when super tuesday is coming up in their 15 states at the same time. you can't possibly go everywhere. i spent some time on the ground in colorado. i spent some time on the ground in vermont. i wasn't just focused on american samoa. i actually am on the ballot in 16 states and territories and we're looking at adding a additional states and territories to now that we have this wind under our belt, i mean, as you know, two-thirds of americans and two-thirds of democrats say that they want a younger candidate. they want someone who's in tune with them on gaza, on immigration, on investing more in the american people. and if you look at my website, it's all about building a new cholera restoring the american dream for young people, actually addressing the crisis in gaza differently, i would not have vetoed those un resolutions in fact, what's happening to the palestinians is terrible, and the united states should not be sending aid to israel to continue to propagate that that war. will take you on the
12:34 pm
premise that you are running a serious campaign for president. i have to be honest, i'd never heard of you before last night and someone flag to me, jason palmer has one american samoa salma law. i'll get it right. i promise what i'm wondering. you get it. you'll get some more. yeah. >> but i'm wondering what >> your responses to the white house that this is silly news. it sounds like you have a serious platform in your mind. >> i do have a serious platform. my platform is based on conscious capitalism, which is not something that i invented, but it's a movement that i've been part of for the last decade, which is that companies can be focused not on just making profit, but also on doing good for social causes, doing good for a positive impact in the world. in my case, i invest in companies at the intersection of education and workforce technology. we help upskill people, we help educate people in prisons and
12:35 pm
jails, help them with getting, reintegrated back into society, help more people graduate from high school college, reduce the cost of college. these types of things. that's why i i know exactly how to build the new collar economy for the united states but conscious capitalism is bigger than just education and workforce. it applies to electrifying our entire economy. we can actually introduce more green jobs into the economy. we can actually become a carbon neutral country by 2030 or 2030 five, with the right type of focus and i'll admit i'm definitely a long shot candidate. this is the first time that someone has beat an incumbent president in any primary. alexis since 1980 >> but >> this is, this is giving voice to the two-thirds of americans who feel like it shouldn't just the trump versus biden, we actually need alternative voices to be heard and they want a positive, optimistic platform for the future, especially young people. most young people
12:36 pm
don't think they're going to do better than their parents. it does not have to be that way in the united states of america, we know how to innovate, we know how to make it more equitable economy. and honestly, i'm not going to wait. we're going to be pushing, pushing, pushing all the way to the convention and biden isn't going anywhere, right? i mean, it seems even even with your when it's sort of unofficially official that now you have the race for the general election, biden versus trump. and you said biden, he needs to be younger. that's not going to happen. you said biden needs to hand this off to a new generation. that's not going to happen this cycle, jason, so where does that leave voters who are making a choice here? here >> well, i wouldn't say, i mean, biden's team has said for sure he's running for president. his goal is to accept the nomination, but i hold out a small chance that joe biden actually wants to be remembered like george washington that he knew when it was time to pass the torch to the next generation, he could
12:37 pm
do that tomorrow. he could do that in a month. he could do that at the convention. >> now, that >> said he may continue to run for president. and if he does, then i will support them because all support whoever the democratic nominee is and i voted for joe biden four years ago. i just don't think he's the best president for our times right now. i do want to also take this moment to mention that i will be co-founding a new organization in the next few weeks. this will be the first time that i'm mentioning it >> we need to >> actually pull the country together. in fact, that's going to be the name of the organization together with an exclamation point mine and its goal will be to try to rally independence and young people to the cause of taking back our government having it be radical common sense, actually passing bipartisan legislation. none of this constant government shutdown and continuing resolutions we actually need to address these problems. and this is going to be an important part of what i do over the summer while continuing to campaign for
12:38 pm

get the compensation you deserve, 800 to eight to 44, 44 well, just listen to protect in vitro fertilization in alabama should soon be on its way to governor kay ivey's dusk to be signed into law. state lawmakers are set to hold a key vote this afternoon after alabama supreme court ruled last month that frozen embryos are unborn children, throwing many families plans into chaos. three of the state's fertility clinics put ivf treatments on hold almost immediately because of the huge threat of liability this new law would protect patients and providers from that legal liability. joining us, dow is dr. beth malizia. she's a fertility specialist and co-owner of alabama fertility, which has paused some ivf treatments. dr. thanks so much for being with us when this bill becomes law. we understand you're ready to begin procedures immediately. is that right >> that's correct, yes. we have patients who are anxiously
12:44 pm
waiting. does news hopefully later this afternoon. and they're already teed up on medications and we're ready. we're ready to go. we're ready to take care of our patients as we always happen, >> we understand that there were also patients that were planning to leave the state or who potentially already left the state for ivf treatment, have you been in contact with any of them what their plans are? >> yeah. so when we got this news from the alabama supreme court, slowly trickled in and made us re-evaluate exactly what we were doing and make sure we're staying safe for our patients in our clinic. >> so he put a >> couple of our specific treatments for ivf on hold each patient received a call from their dr. specifically, so we made lots of phone calls. we modified patients plans individually to try to ensure that we're giving them the best opportunities and gave them some choices i personally have only one patient that has decided to go out of state, but i totally respect to that decision and i think patients need to do what's best for
12:45 pm
them. >> there are warnings out there from legal experts that say that courts could cite the alabama supreme court decision to treat embryos as people in other areas of the law as well. i'm wondering if you share that concern and if you think that this legislation goes far enough to protect your patients >> so for now, we are been pushing very, very hard on this legislation. my partners on myself, as well as many patients were at the state house it's week. back again yesterday. i'm holding down the fort here in birmingham and my partners are back at the state house today. so we are very hopeful that this legislation is going to give us at least some temporary protection shan to be able to get back to work and take care of patients. there is some talk, some more long-term conversations. we respect that we want everyone comfortable with what we do. i'd love to educate people more about what we do in the world of ivf. and we want to be a part of for that process. so we want patients and physicians to
12:46 pm
be part of the process. if we start discussing more specifically what ivf care is and what we do on that note, dr. this bill, it doesn't address the root issue, right? fundamentally, under the current alabama state law, embryos there's our unborn children. and so there are ways i was talking to a state legislator earlier. there are ways in which he believes that there could be loopholes and that patients could once again be targeted. so i'm wondering two opponents of ivf in alabama and beyond, what would you say to them about the procedure? what would you say is perhaps their essential misunderstandin g about what it is that you do for families i think there's two points to be made to that. number one, they're there are not that many opponents to this you know, remarkably, regardless of patients affiliation regarding any of their religious or for political affiliation, most
12:47 pm
patients and even just members of the community are supportive of ivf there was a poll done of gop voters there's an alabama showing 81% support ivf and fertility treatments. so i think hopefully across the board this is something that's supported more than it as opposed then the second thing to answer your question is that this is a conversation that we have every single day with patients in our office. we take into consideration all of their concerns. we want to provide their care in a way that they are comfortable. we are not creating embryos for the use of discard. we are creating embryos to have the opportunity for patients to grow their family in a healthy way. all of the things that are sort of disgust out there. i would love to have those things reviewed with physicians who do this day to day. >> a lot of the >> concerns that people have our about things that were already doing. we're already talking to patients about we have lots of things that are helping us through that. but
12:48 pm
the patients are directing that process matt conversation with dr. beth malizia. thank you so much for the time >> thank you >> course so fulton county district attorney fani willis just released a fiery response. bonds to republican lawmakers in georgia were conducting their own investigation into allegations of her wrongdoing. we have more than just moments do you think that our democracy is at risk? >> we have be very concerned >> why do you think he's doing this? and can he be talked out >> do you think he's guilty? >> the lead with jake tapper next on cnn >> now, at t professionally installed google nest products, >> cool. >> you're all set on the system. we should >> go with the most trusted name and home security as the intelligence of goo well, and you have a home with no worries brought to you by adt >> luck and good guys,

12:53 pm
trump in georgia. and republicans in the states senate are now leading their own investigation. of her probe. we have cnn's nick valencia in atlanta following all of this. nick, what is willis saying >> well, brianna, this committee was formed in the georgia legislature to investigate whether or not funny they willis misused public government funds, whether or not she has a conflict of interests. but there were certainly moments during today's hearing that felt more like political theater and fani willis seems to agree. this is what she's saying to us in a statement saying, quote, the republican senate hearing is a political quest by politicians who are upset that i do the right thing and stand up for justice no matter who the person is, who may have done wrong. and fulton county, they can continue with their games and i will we'll continue to do the work of the people. you know, it's not lost on us, brianna, that this hearing comes just a day after super tuesday. the pathway cleared for donald trump to be the next some two presidential nominee for the republican party. so we asked the chairman of this committee, who is a
12:54 pm
republican, bill cowsert, if this is a signal that he's sending to trump to have this hearing, that he has trump's back, that republicans in the state have trump's back. he didn't answer the question, but he did say they're seeking whether or not there are guardrails that they could put in place in georgia law. if there is any georgia law, state law that fani willis broke. now, let's be clear. there's no allegations at all whatsoever that fani willis broke any state laws, but that's what the committee here it says that they're investigating and they have the power to make fani willis is life a lot more complicated and difficult? they do not have the power to remove her, but they do have subpoena power to get people to testify under oath, and that's what we saw today. defense attorney ashleigh merchant testifying basically reiterating her argument as to why she believes fani willis should be qualified from this case, and those claims largely went unchallenged by the majority republican committee. we did catch up with one of the democrats on the committee who called this hearing today, silly and said that the republicans are continuing on with political theater and that
12:55 pm
they just want to keep this story in the news. we should mention also, not only does this committee not have the power to remove fani willis, but the recommendation of what to do next will come long after judge scott mcafee makes his decision. remember, he said last week he expects to quarter or give his order in this case and whether willis should be disqualified and the next two weeks brianna. >> yeah. very good point there. nick valencia. thank you. >> still ahead. you you can call them out of this world absentee votes. how astronauts on the international space station cast their ballots for super tuesday to be a headliner was vegas >> that's what i want to do. >> they had the biggest entertainers in america >> vegas is always marketed itself on its naughtiness. >> and the only way you find i know what you can do is if you do it on anywhere else in the
