hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. so many politicians want to be the republican party's candidate for president next year. but to any stand, a chance it gets donald trump, let's get to the bottom line. the last count, there were more than a dozen republican politicians competing for their parties. nomination to run for president next year. some will fall off the map this month even before their 1st public debate on august 23rd and others like florida governor rhonda santas have amassed a huge war chest and are expected to do get out for months. the . but can any one of them on seat, the reigning king of the republican party, donald trump, despite his mounting legal problems, he's still way ahead in fund raising and popularity. so does he really have any

challenger's today? we're talking with julia, manchester, who covers national politics and political campaigns as a reporter for the hill. and david weigel, who covers politics percent of 4 were in full disclosure. i also work. thank you both for joining us. let me just start. we're going to try to get as many of these candidates as we can, but i want to start for a moment with the i a i or republicans of lincoln dinner last week, or one of the candidates was booed on the stage slip. let's hear this clip a donald trump is running to stay out of prison and if we elect i know i know i know. but if we elect donald trump, we are willingly giving joe biden for more years, and the white house in america can handle that. god bless you and god bless america . of course that is warmer, representative will heard from texas running for president. and he is, you know, out there making his case julia, i have to ask is, is making

a criticism of donald trump a death wish when you, when that want to run for the g o p. right? yeah, it seems like it at this point to considering donald trump is really running far away with the nomination according to the polls. and we have seen other g o p gatherings. so there was one and evangelical christian gathering held in washington dc a few months ago. where we saw that, you know, chris christie was booed for, criticizing donald trump. so i think these events where you see primary voters christy is out there doing southern coast christy's out there saying the only way to be donald trump is to run against donald trump. right, he did that actually we had a semaphores event where he did that very boldly and a lot of the other candidates were not doing it. i haven't figured out yet if that's where we'll heard is. but, but do you use, do you see a path for any of these candidates or will or others to begin dealing with a g o p base right now? um that's, that's not taking the criticism very well. yeah. at this point it's really hard to see a path, and i mean, that's just shown in the polls. and even when you hear about donald trump's legal

issues, all of these candidates with the exception of maybe will hurt or chris christie. they are even want to touch that topic. they don't want to criticize them on that. in a normal world, you would think that other candidates would want to criticize the front runner of a party for having that kind of a conundrum. this close to an election day. what, how do you see it? you heard the booze and, and you know, he's candidates intimately and you're on the road with met them. how is it playing with? what's the vibe that you're getting when you're out on the road? when it comes to taking on donald trump, right, i wasn't both of the events were to we're talking about both these candidates are running unusual campaigns. chris christine will heard, do not have a pass to the nomination as we see it. if you look at the polling, they are the, the candidates that they know heard at all. they definitely know christie, the can to the largest opposition for republicans. they're running to make a point. the down trump shouldn't be the nominee again. but you know, neil, can i go by this accidental speech writer at expression elections or not, or not one weeks or one and years. and several years ago there that entire publican

party apparatus went along with all truck up to a point saying, well, 2020 was such a jump all. and who knows who actually one we're not sure. find one. we're gonna wait for the states to figure this out. we're going to wait for the course to figure this out. they created this, this problem where that the most the easiest argument gets dropped would be. this is the only guy in america who lost the presidency, who's running against joe biden. they would, can't make that argument credibly the base believes, but the down trump one the last election that everything was better under donald trump, that is under joe biden. something they have some independence agreeing with the parts of it as big as the beginning of the economy changes. so they're, they're starting a place where there's not a compelling argument not to bring the guy back apart from. he can't serve more than one more term. does they have just made that argument when he started campaign in iowa and he dropped it because it's a little and i think it makes sense, but is a little bit obscure for most voters at all these candidates are trying to say, i'm more electable than somebody who, if you'd asked me, you know, in december 2020 was perfectly collectible and then he deserved to win the presidency again. and that's where all the problems started except for except for

heard and christy, or just on, on these, these one man i guess to me and now truth telling missions less less about one of the presidency been just stopping this guy. a trump remains not just, not just well like that, most republicans around 70 percent of them. but, but we're adored by more republicans and you need to win combination around 4045 who use the word that adored it. and i, i'm not to repeat everything i was saying that they think you won the last election, but they don't have the qualms with donald trump, that the, that, that some democrats have hillary clinton, they had worries. can she went again and prove, prove if you could, if it was in 2016. and they also at going back to their accounts are saying, and if you could make down trump vulnerable on his legal problems, the fact that this chris gets, he says he might be out on on bond. and a couple of states by the time are voting. but that was an argument that wasn't made about hillary clinton, 2008, but. but let these guys don't believe that the voters believe this is all like a ruse. it's all the deep skate to translate this right now. he said for a minute,

i mean i, i know there are false correlations in y'all's. causality, julia, yeah. but if you actually go track it and you watch the indictments, donald trump's popularity has gone up with indictments. if i were running. i mean, the question is, should mike pence go get arrested for something? right, right. well, no, i don't think it would work for my parents because donald, from his donald trump. i mean, he's very unique to the situation. he has this very unique rip on this primary elector and you know, like they was saying these voters genuinely believe that there is a bias. and how donald trump has been treated by federal law enforcement in this country. how he was treated in the 2020 election is how those results were counted . and then on top of that you have the situation with hunter bite and happening. and you know, parallel um, you know, sort of in peril explained to our viewers that might not get the hunter bite and quagmire that clearly write a little bit of clarify a little yeah. what's the support of parts to at number one and, you know, house republicans have really been looking into hunter bite and particularly in his

to his business dealings and how his father, whether his father was involved with his business dealings on the hill this week. i'm a former business associate of hunter biden testified, and essentially said that joe biden was conference in to say hello on speaker phone to some of these in some of these meetings to some of these associates when he was vice president, or when he about status, his vice president. now there's also a we're creating the illusion of accent theory. you should have asked that with a clean yes and go down. think if you were vice president united states or present united states, you would be concerned about someone creating the illusion of acts as absolutely just to be fair to those repub, with the, even if he was just saying how low you know, it gives the illusion to access it, it's almost like he's selling him, so he's selling himself as the son of the vice president, which is, um, you know, i'll ask a call at this point, but 100, right? and this also dealing with very serious legal issues related to drug problem. your

drug usage, as well as a gun, a gun charge um he was in possession of the fire firearm illegally. so and there was a plea deal made at some point error. we thought there would be a plea deal made between prosecutors and hunter biden. seem that unexpectedly collapse. so the, the future for hunter biden is very uncertain at this point, and it's continuing to really plague the white house and that they're constantly having to answer questions about the house republican part the legal issue and also his that a child. he had with a woman in arkansas. finally the white house acknowledged for president biden, for the 1st lady, acknowledge the existence which i really i really want to get to these a dozen other republican state. but i want to give him a moment to run to sanderson this huge group. you had dave of a internal communications on the messaging app signal that showed connectivity between senior members that campaign and some pretty vile videos. but really on the,

i'd love to hear you get a snapshot of that. but is that the santas campaign in floating right now? we see layoffs. we see questionable fundraising. uh, you know, targets being hit. you know, we're not head. and i'm just wondering where do you think the sanchez's as we look right now? is he, is he in free fall? well, if you're almost at the paralyzed the santas campaign, because there is a, the santas campaign operation that the ality staffers work for a very large communication staff has been shrunk down with a 38 layoffs. and then there is a super pack never backed down, which is not allowed to coordinate. i'm using scare quotes because i was in iowa every event. the santas held, including a after party for people who went to the idea of the dinner, was hosted by the super pack is riding on the bus with this rebec. uh, so they are clearly coord. yeah. they're recording the survey or i could violate i just wanna they are violating the law and log in broad daylight and, and, and nighttime because like a theme of this discussion with others that are really enforced against certain people. but yeah, that, so there's a super pack that has all the money, it needs to run ads to put them on a bus. then there's

a campaign operation which is supposed to be messaging. and look, there's only one candidate who's giving speeches. i thought just my opinions reporter covering the guy the speech he gave an iowa on friday, 10 minutes hard kit hard stop was the best eat articulated his message that i look at my record in florida. look at how much more effective i can be of the own truck without saying his name on the trail. he has been sort of rambling. he will get a side track these things on day 10 of arguing with the vice president over florida education standards. and in the campaign where they were trying to do is with these messages which you're referring to get folks inside the campaign, we're trying to make viral videos that had kind of the, the tenor of the internet. they looked like for jan, it looked like the kind of things that you learned most could retweet that had, you know, little little cartoons of sad, depressed people becoming happy when they saw how, how ethic and cooled ronda santas was how he was making liberals cry. how he was making trans people angry. they were, they were coordinate with these videos. and once there was a blow back, they,

they've kind of through the staff or who they said was great in the, under the bus. they actually say reporter is, they told reporters quietly they, they've agreeing, they didn't say it themselves. what we saw in these internal discussions that they really were trying to foam up from the runway and create really excitement for the santas by helping create some videos and then distributing them to a non student on with twitter account. so you'd log, i told her it looked like proud elephant us just found this amazing thing that makes the safest look. awesome. and in some cases with his hands campaigned crating it and say, hey, you check this out and read we did for us. what did do for the campaign, basically nothing apart from the negative stories they know, but they were trying to recreate some of this organic magic that the down trump had in 2016 when he so fresh and interesting to her a lot of like and voters that they would share images a hand that you're his best insults, looking at him talking on these people at the debate. they were trying to do that in organically for the, for the santas. and it wasn't really working. it's, i think it's one of several problems they've had, but this is that, i mean, they have a super pack that during the normal campaign and they had a candidate running kind of

a blog campaign. and the staff of the candidate were trying to strategy that was just not making sense to anybody. certainly not now that we have written about it, julia, how do you see this campaign? what i hear is, you know, a lot of any emigration stuff. a lot of l g b t q stuff, a lot of pro crypto currency stuff. mean is that the pathway to, to being victorious and the g o p to yeah. so randa stands is just such an interesting figure be and i was in florida for the most of the height of the pandemic. and that's when we saw his rise. and we also saw that of a switch flip with him. i don't want to say he was necessarily moderate before, but he wasn't a culture war warrior during his 1st 2 years as governor, that really switched with co that and he saw how successful his corona virus pandemic policy were with republicans in florida, independence, and how other republicans from across the country were sort of elevating him and making him the gold standard as to how to deal with the corona virus. since then,

you know, he is very much as a blow out in the 2020 to mid term see easily one that defeating a former florida governor. um, you know, when we saw republicans who are very successful in florida and part thanks to him and his campaign apparatus. but since then we have seen donald trump just after donald trump had a bit of a rocky launch. we have seen him really sky rocket and the polls skyrocket among g o p voters and it's just become evident that donald trump has more firm standing then randa santas does. i think dave was alluding to this with his report. right. so what, what are you just said? but there is, was criticism about his campaign has been to online. well, let me ask, you know, when i get out and talk to republicans, i talk to the business people, the, the person who sort of stands out. they said is not like all of the others is vac ramos. one. yeah it's the next name is coming up a lot. he's the author folks of work inc. inside corporate america, social justice scam. and he's kidding at work is and it's practical greedy elements

and you know, his numbers, whatever, you know, 3 percent or 2 percent, somewhere around that, that level. um, so he has not caught on fire yet, but i gotta tell you when i'm around donors, i'm up talk to the rich republican crowd. they liked this guy. they and is, does he have any password? yeah, they liked the back and they liked him. scott is right. wow. they do like times. yeah, i don't. it's almost like god, however, is still very, very low in the polls hasn't getting traction like that, but donors like them and it's, it's almost like there's these 2 tiers in this race. it's ronda sanchez trying to beat donald trump, but then it's the vax, the tim scott's, the nickie hailey's trying to swipe and get us at randa santa. so i think that's really what you're starting to play out. you thought really play out in a way last week when you saw around de santis in 10, scott hitting back and forth over florida. is that the occasion policy? there was a line and not policy that suggested that slate and slaves, people in the united states could have benefited were from slavery. that got

a lot of. yeah. but it raises essentially question dave and i and i read it. i don't know if is yours is so we have just talking about the fantasy primary with it back and with tim scott with nikki haley and with a so hutchins and they're all these other potential choices out there. and they're all saying that's bologna. there is no chance that any of the going to come in but, but i am interested in the messages and just certain degree. people that run for campaigns traditionally. now donald trump was not always generous in this way. when he ran are, are become part of the franchise late are much like pete booted judge became part of the, uh, uh, bite and franchise after stepping back. and i'm just wondering what you think about vix messaging some of these other candidates and how they are lining up in this in is campaign so far? oh, something that's happening in the one reason the field is so large as even saying is that who they are to calculations. one republicans who knew ronda santas before we started ran for president. thought he liked her as my thought, he would go the distance, they feel pretty good right now, but we've got to 4 months and over the royal 5 actually since i and the other is

some calculation that may be trouble getting to such legal trouble that he can't but he can't run, he's knocked out for some reason who will be there. once we get to the convention, we'll walk pick up the pieces of it's not really in that category. yeah, he started running as the author are very successful. lockerman, if you're going round covering republican events because there were events in 2021, you were seeing him, it would be a bit or speaker. explaining how we came from the corporate world. he saw how wellness diversity equity inclusion were making quick corporation is less effective . they relate, they were, they were breaking down american society. he's just taking that and turn that into a presidential campaign and added some policy. so i believe, you know, semaphores talked to him early on he's, he's taking positions on things. he wasn't even talking about the branding campaign . he's just kind of building this plane in the air as it goes, i guess the something you got used to as a c, e o. but that is a question about him is uh, does he have any passes of presidency? if he talked to iowans i, i find the same thing. they'll mention a trump is their favorite, or maybe some people don't love trumpet. they they'll, they'll get vague in the mix. and i heard this and put

a judge and same the same point in the, in 2019 talking democrats. i heard, but a judge mentioned by every democrat and iowa who said, well, of warren. but i also like this guy as a backup. he's, he's actually got himself into that position is he's not been very critical of drop . he's actually taking enough positions that i think are maint would say if a populace. but for example, he thinks we should re negotiate a version of the ttp and get back into it is reason enough where i started to see other campaigns quietly pushed things about vague remo swami saying, hey, this guy is this guy is no good. he literally sounds like an anti global us, but he's not really. he has gotten more traction then people who've been, you know, governor and they take them seriously. they take him seriously. so they like the knocking down now. yeah. and scott has, who mentioned, i've heard more of that from the donor level. people who've met him and he is charming. he's just, he holds the room the way the saint is can. and he's picked up some ground with, with iowans, with a conservative message. but the focus really is just this guy seems more likable.

he can begin to feel more people. the missing factor out when they get to repetitive is that all of these candidates, right? it possibly are saying i can be more electable than down. trump run the swamis $37.00, he talks about winning a lance. why was trump number one? they have not going to interrupt. look into the trump can't win a landslide. they can envision trump winning, and they've got people like mike lind hold, but for my zillow already run saying he actually did with the land slide. it was rig. but all of them had say, i can offer a more popular version of what trump was running on with some of the just send it off there. are some voters who say, oh great i my cousin never wrote for trumps. he found the be was to hear about us, but mostly what we can go to right document julia. let me ask you in short form. so many different parts of the republican party as it is constructed now have flirted with white nationalism, have flirted with race as a defining feature of what they're going after. can a person of color an indian background, like nikki haley or a black man, like tim scott actually become a winner?

do you see a pathway where the party somehow grows in that direction to say, we're not going to let race get in the way of our candidates? it's a good question because i think there really is this hard core, far right. populous wing of the republican party, and that's going to be a roadblock. that being said, though, you know, we have seen um, you know, maybe some enthusiasm dampen among black men in particular with the democratic party. and we have seen republicans starting with the republican national committee, right, really started to 0 in on some of these communities of color and states like california, the asian american community, the black community, but hispanic community. republican party has made and roads with hispanic community, particularly in florida with that cuban american vote. so i think there is a chance, and i think they see someone as like a tim scott or nikki haley. or if it's a promise for kwame, being more symbolic of what america looks like. but there is that really hard core populace part of the party that feels so drawn to someone like donald trump,

that there's a connect there. dave, doug bergen, governor in north dakota. i met him the other day here in washington at the 4 seasons hotel, nancy place, he's a billionaire governor and he's he to qualify to get on stage. apparently, he basically said, hey, don't need a dollar to me so you can get enough of the qualifying numbers of people, $40000.00 people and cross 20 sites, $200.00 a month, 20 states and get it all the details. but he'll send them a $20.00 gift card for ease buying, campaign contributions. i just don't any other way you can define it. but dave, you watched more elections than i've ever seen? if you ever seen anyone do anything like doug burnam? no. so the, the democrats really innovated this idea of women who can go to the debates by saying you need some sort of donor threshold. they did this, actually, the irony is the bernie sanders. it'd be inspiration for the see the always had a large donor base, but he got this and his to go see i'd like more $3.00 donors than any right. his ed . right. and there was games occasion to this when democrats drive it or can is try

and get mix and 2019 to make it the outright. i'm going to give you 19 extra dollars. give me one that level i had not been tried before, but the same thing with the super pack, the fcc in this country, not to get to in the weeds, but the electron commission that says whether it's legal or not. it's evenly divided between the parties and they just never duplicate these things. so you can just try to plot the law then maybe 2 years later we gotta find a, it's one of those, you know, ask for, don't ask for information and you know, ask for forgiveness later deals. and so he's doing that. the mirror of miami who's running also getting very little attention doing something similar is offering like a chance to win a college scholarship. yeah. that, that level of gimmickry is, is new to this race. and it does do what you were saying at highlight these candidates who want to be in the conversation. they might not have a passive presidency, but they might be on the future team. a few future president trump, maybe francis. whereas wasn't in the, in the mix for hud secretary transportation secretary. but maybe if he runs this race drops out. and dorothy donald trump, maybe he's in the next then not to be too cynical. we're allowed to be cynical

services to be with after these campaigns. because you cover them and nobody's showing up. nobody's that interested in them yet, but they're getting mentioned to me bring them got proof like bringing and been governor of the state for 2 terms that a great job, huge economic growth gets his 1st big magazine profiles by saying he's running for president. does he want to be president? i'm sure he does, but this is the way you get in that conversation. now you have to gain this process either who figuratively, by getting in or literally by offering people. brian says, if you get into the debate, well, let me just ask is we just wrap this up? give me your gut reaction. who do you think the republican primary nominee will be, uh, you know, at the end of the process, they trumpet the nothing, nothing that normally causes gravity to drag guy down. it's causing it to happen. so i trump until something crazy happens. and what i've just told you is probably whatever public and owners could tell you, julia say donald trump, he's winning violence slide. but without, i want to think political reporters, julia manchester, at the hill and david white go at some a for

a lot of scoops lately. thank you so much for being with us today. thank you. thank you. and so what's the bottom line? trump may think he has the republican nomination in the back, but the world is full of surprises. no one predicted that a junior senator from illinois who was 35 points behind hillary clinton would become the democratic nominee. and eventually the president, that was brock obama and the year was 2008. for more than a year. the media called clinton, the presumed nominee and the inevitable winner. but front runners don't always remain front runners. the parties don't have to name their official candidate till next summer. and so much can happen between now and then. there are folks in the republican party for watching and waiting to pounce and make their case on why they are the better choice to had the republican ticket and challenge deal by next year . trump knows that, and that's why he's not taking anything for granted. and that's the bottom line, the

on our lot to me, your boots in won't be attending a summit in south africa with an international warrant out for the rest for suspected war. fine. can you travel anywhere? so i'm told stories from across asia and the pacific $1.00 oh $1.00 east. explain the issues affecting the close the most populous region. the rates for the white house keeps up with donald trump take pump in the republican policies, 1st debates or holds his own. private people impala investigates the topic impacted on ukraine's fragile environment, and that's the temperature of solar and biodiversity plummets the global environmental facility to coordinate financing for international action. assembled in canada focused on l. g 0. dreaming of some way to model amazing for stella. how about some disney magic tango?

tango exposure to couple of dot com the somebody bought or in the top stories on i would just say that the west african regional blog echo asked is mobilizing military forces pressing the action against new jazz cooties. and that's the civilian government that was restored. the head of the military and his yeah, remains defiant. and his warning against for an intervention ministry cooperation agreement with friends has been scrapped. there is a see by.
