tomorrow, president biden is expected to officially throw his hat into the ring and announce his re-election campaign and we are learning today that he spent the day huddling with adviser at camp david finalizing the plans. crisis in sudan and right now 16,000, 16,000 americans remaining in a country torn apart by violence. we have the very latest as the u.s. has evacuated all diplomats from the region. >> release from prison, the former minnesota police officer who says she mistook her gun for a taser and then shot and killed

donte wright is free this morning. these stories and more right here on cnn news central. we are expecting a big but not an unexpected announcement from president joe biden and straight to the arlette seanez who has been watching this and we know that last week you are expecting news that we expect him to announce that he is going to become the presidential elect. >> well, sara, president biden spent the weekend at camp david to go over the final details regarding the details and staffing for a campaign. the president's advisers have been working towards launching this campaign tomorrow and doing so in a video . also tomorrow, the president is going to be speaking at the

building trade yun yon unions t and that is a key group that helped to elect him in 2020. and we are learning that the democratic sources are telling us that he is expected to name julie chavez rodriguez as the campaign member. she is one of the most senior advisers here at the white house and director of the white house's office of governmental affairs working with the state and local officials. and she is the granddaughter orf labor icon ceasar chavez and one of the few latinas to ever run a campaign, and so we will see if that announcement comes tomorrow as the president is coming closer to announce his re-election bid. >> and now, new polling for his team to consider, and can you

give us the idea of what that is? >> yes, sara, some of the challenges that the president would face are come into focus and this is the public perception of whether president biden should even be running for re-election. a majority of americans say he should not seek a second term and he is facing headwinds of the democratic party as more than half of democrats believe he should not run for re-election. looking at the concerns of those people who do not believe that president biden should run in 2024, 48% say that his age is a major issue. president biden is 80 years old and he would be 86 at the end of the second term if he were to win, and ultimately the advisers don't believe it will be an issue in the long run, and they believe he has a strong record to run on, but this is showing that it could be a challenge for the president as you are seeing the concerns from americans there. >> those are hard numbers for

anybody to run to swallow. arlette seanez, thank you. >> and now, as sara and arlette are talking about, some republicans are making a move. michael pence says he is going to announce his presidential concerns well before late june. stay there. and new hampshire governor chris sununu is expected before july 4th, and ron desantis is visiting japan and israel and an international swing that is far from florida, and he is saying it is part of an international trade mission. so arlette and sara went over where the polling is standing for biden and now discussing a number of possible contend ters against donald trump, and where is he standing now? >> well, these are the top choices for the top gop nominee, and keep in mind, that some of the other candidates are not

listed there, and this is because they are polling in single digit, and these are the only ones in double-digits. and donald trump has a 15-point advantage over desantis, and looking ging at the wall stree, it is 15 percentage points. >> and how do the incumbants stack up? >> looking at the nonincumbent races and polls where similar where donald trump is polling near, at or above 50%, it is george bush and then al gore and hillary clinton in 2016, and what do all of the candidates do? they went on the win the nomination, and where donald trump is polling for nonincumbent race is strong and does correlate to go on the win the nomination. >> we have debated it in the past and it is up for debate how

much impact endorsements have on a presidential race these days, and you know, the endorsement game, and how is trump of 2024 doing stacked up to 2016? >> significantly better, right? in my mind based on these numbers the establishment candidate, and he has over 60 endorsements in the 2024 cycle from the congressional and gubernatorial candidates and in the 2024, it was only 15. >> and does it matter when it comes to donald trump? >> well, here is the thing to point out, kate. looking at the nonincumbants of the similar or same share, it is bob gore and john mccain and hillary clinton and they all

went on to win their party's race. >> we shall see. >> and i will be with you for the rest of the way. >> thank you, and back over to you. >> it is a mixed bag. >> thank you very much. and joining me now is our congressional anchor dana bash and i want to go back to the announcement scheduled for tomorrow, and it is a big deal and what are you hearing publicly and privately from the democrats on this announcement? >> look, it is very, very mixed when it is coming to the true feelings of democrats. when they are looking at the hard facts and you heard this from amy klobuchar on "state of the union" with meso many pluses that he has in his column. the big thing hanging over it, and the big negative is something that is not changeable

which is joe biden's age. the white house sees that. the democrats see it and hear it is not just in, you know, focus groups, but probably when they are going to the grocery stores and talking to regular constituents and that they have and it is not changeable and it is going to be the biggest hurdle when it comes to convincing voters that joe biden has and bigger hurdle than any presidential candidate has had, because historically, nobody has been as old as he is. >> when i hear from the biden insiders they emphasize that the contrast that they like the most is between joe biden and donald trump. now, i don't know how granular this campaign is, and i don't have a feel for it yet, but tomorrow when biden releases the announcement video, there is another trial for donald trump here in new york city. e.g. carol, and the trial for sexual assault and defamation launches then, and how much of

that contrast do you expect the biden campaign to lean into? >> you knows when it comes to donald trump and the legal situation that he is in, this could be happening any day, and it will be happening many days, because of all of the fronts that he is dealing with when it comes to the georgia investigation, the federal investigation, what we are seeing in new york on several issues. so, that is the reality. i think that if you asked the question of whether joe biden is going to be overshadowed, there is nothing that they can do about it, but what you are getting at, john, it is something that i have heard certainly the contrast of joe biden the quote, unquote normal politician versus a former president, presidential candidate who is running for re-election and dealing with a

civil trial that is essentially rape that is totally fine for them to have and you know that joe biden is a superstitious guy and part of the reason that the number was on the calendar and the goal was on the calendar for tomorrow is because it was the day four years ago that he announced. it is the month that barack obama with him on the ticket also announced for re-election, and so a lot of that is in play at the time in a place that joe biden is announcing formally. >> ron desantis overseas and what are the republican insiders looking at during this trip? >> they are looking at any indication that he can have a different kind of, of public facing candidacy. yes, he is not actually a candidate yet, and yes, he made that clear in his comments, sort of awkward response when he is in japan when he was asked about

being a candidate. the thing that republicans are looking for is for him to be looking confident and comfortable, and it is clear that donor class and the people who are being pold, they don't see it quite yet. >> dana bash, great to have you on this morning and your trip to poland and we were inspired by your reporting last week, and thank you for that. >> thank you for having us on, john. sara. >> and now, the evacuations in sudan as intense fighting threatens people, and plus the people in south florida condo have until tomorrow to get out after the officials said that the building is not safe. and chaos and confusion at twitter a after the ceo elon musk removes thousands of blue checkmarks and now people are wondering who is real and who is an imposter.

guilty. and now elon musk is removing thousands of blue checkmarks from celebrities who said they would not pay $11 for the status, but then they mysteriously appeared in some cases. sara. >> over the last 24 hours, scene after scene of people packing on to cargo planes as people were trying to get out sudan. president biden ordered under darkness for hundreds odiplomats to be removed. at this hour, 16,000 americans roughly remain in sudan holding dual citizenship. two factions have killed nearly

400 people there and thousands others wounded. sam kiley is in djibouti which hundreds of diplomats are using to escape the route, and what are you seeing there? >> well, sara, this is a small country has become the hub for multinational special forces efforts involving troops from countries as far as away as japan and south korea all of the way through to the united states, and of course, many, many europeans, and now that particular operation led there by the united states took in british special forces who themselves then went out on the ground and mustered british expatriots to get them on the 18 kilometer drive which is 30 mimile miles out to airstrip to get the brits out. and there are nearly 400 people

out on another flight that i have understood they are doing or imminently on the way, and the united states are saying that their citizens should remain in place, and the reason for that is that there has been an escalation of the level of violence particularly in kha khartoum, but around the country, and that means it is dangerous indeed for the civilians to move from where they are hiding to get through the checkpoints to get to a mustering point for an evacuation. the united nations have had a 70-vehicle convoy to travel to port sudan over land, but in order to join the convoice, people need vehicles, fuel and water and none of those are in ready supply anywhere in khartoum. of course, the sudanese themselves are in the most disastrous state. i was just talking to a german national who has evacuated yesterday by the french, and she is talking to friends in khartoum talking about bodies in the street and families are trying to evacuate out into the countryside or the desert to get

away from the human beings who are dangerous the them. this is painting the picture of a country really starting to implode in a most catastrophic way. that term of course just used by none other than the u.n. secretary-general. sara? >> sam kiley, thank you for being there, and we should mention, it is not just getting the foreign nationals out, but the people stuck there dealing with the violence. kate? >> yes, absolutely. and the white house has said it is not condusive or safe right now to conduct a civilian evacuation effort for americans still in sudan. which means huge and urgent questions for the thousands of americans stuck in the country today. joining us now is one of those family members, fatima, and she has traveled there to visit a sick family member, and when is the last time that you have

heard from the family members? >> yesterday, and all of the internets have been shutdown and we are relying on the voice messages and any time you get a signal, you have to put yourself in danger and go outside and put yourself outside and not sure if you will be hit by a missile or mista mistaken for somebody else. so we pray everyday for something. >> how do you feel how unsafe they are everyday? >> they are describing a deeply traumatic event and scenes and as mentioned as bodies on the street. >> they are seeing bodies in the street? >> yes, the screaming, and the missiles dropped on nearby buildings, and it is hard to even listen to, but the urgency in their voices to get help,

which is why i am here is what is needed right now. >> when you heard that the u.s. was evacuating diplomats and their personnel out of the country, what did you think when you heard that? >> we were very disheartened, because it felt like they were being stranded and the thousands of u.s. citizens is and my brother is an example of being born and raised in this country haven't traveled to sudan in over a decade went to visit a family member and this happened a day before they were scheduled to come back to the u.s. >> a day before they were planning to fly home, and as you mentioned and talking about before, this is not -- this is not an area -- they are not familiar. they are not -- and they live in connecticut. they are not familiar -- >> they barely speak arabic well enough to get around and they are not familiar with the streets or the areas of the zones and they are relying on my mom and family members to tell them what to do, hiding under

tables. it is, you know, a week of this which feels longer to be honest. >> when did they -- they were planning on leaving next day when everything kind of really de devolved and when did they realize they were stuck? >> when the airport was and burned down. >> so their options are limited, and the biden administration again making clear this morning they do not anticipate or expect any large effort to evacuate the u.s. citizens, so let me play for you what john kirby from the white house said this morning about the whole situation. >> the best advice we can give to those americans who did not abide by our warnings to leave sudan and did not leave sudan is to stay off of the streets and stay sheltered and off of the streets of khartoum. >> how does that make you feel and your reaction to that?

>> it makes me upset, because there was no warning. i don't -- i think that it is being painted as a country of being war torn for a while which is not true. this is unprecedented what is happening. it was a simple vacation and actually not a vacation, but actually a visit for a sick uncle. >> and he has since passed. what are the options for your family? >> staying safe and trying to see another day, and this is it. we have had help from our senator from connecticut, richard blumenthal, and our local mayor, mayormayorg genham

>> and so, as you are looking at the pictures of your brothers and this is when, and these are the last images that you have of them before the violence broke out, and what is your message to the president if you could give them one? >> these are u.s. citizens and born and raised in this country and they do everything for this country, and they are being completely forgotten in a land that is unknown to them. no one deserves this and the sudani people do not deserve this and this is conflict that no one wants and two sides that people do not agree for, and people just want peace and stability and to keep on going with their lives way they were before. >> you want your brothers back? >> yeah. i am praying that they come back safely, and i am hoping that peace will go on in sudan. >> thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thank you, kate.

president biden is expected to announce his re-election campaign and he returned to the white house after a week at camp 2k david after finalizing his re-election bid details. 70% of americans say he should not, but nearly half of those who oppose a 2024 presidential bid say that the reason is because of his age. a man behind bars is because of he sexually assaulted a doordash driver. he was attempting to deliver a doordash when the man forced her into the home and assaulted her. how did the police figure out who this was and tracked him down? >> well, sara, it is incredible

out of the city of tampa. according to the authorities the victim was wearing headphones when she made this food delivery and on the phone with a girlfriend when the girlfriend quickly realized that something was going terribly wrong, the 38-year-old, as you said identified as joseph killings. and now according to the police, he forced the victim back into her car and drove her some six miles and that is where he sexually assaulted. now, the victim's girlfriend was able to get into contact with that woman's family. they were tracking her phone this entire time, so they showed up to the location where she was being held. now, according to authorities, when the accused here tried to rescue her, according to police, he was striking one of the police officers and they didn't get a break a day later, because the accused robbed a woman in

the same area, ap while they were investigating that crime, they were able to link him to the sexual assault as well as the kidnapping of this doordash driver. sara? >> okay. appreciate your time, carlos suarez in miami for us. kate. >> this morning, a former minnesota police officer is out of prison. kim pot ter is the former polic officer when she shot dante wright when she served 2 of 16 years of her prison sentence when she mistook her gun for ataser. what more are you learning? >> she going to be remaining remainder of her sentence in december when she served 16 months of the 2-year sentence. she cannot possess any firearm or ammunition, and the state law says that she is required to

stay in the state of minnesota unless she receives written approval saying that she can serve the remainder of the sentence elsewhere. potter has been approved to serve the row -- remainder of her sentence in minnesota. if you don't remember, potter is the former police officer who grabbed her gun instead of the taser and killed daunte wright. she was released this morning at 4:00 a.m. at that time out of an abundance of caution. >> you spoke with wright's mother, and what is she telling you? >> i talked to his mom, katie wright, and she and her husband and others are struggling to find peace. i wanted to read something that she said in our conversation.

she said that she, excuse me, she says that some say i should forgive and be at peace, but how can i? i am so angry. she is going to be able to watch her kids have kids. i can't even touch my son. she said that she is afraid of forgetting the voice of her son. and she also said that she is going to hurt someone again, and one thing that her family has not been able to grieve together. they have been fighting for what they call and pushing for justice and changing the laws in minnesota around traffic stops since the killing of her son daunte. kate. >> thank you for the update. john? >> this morning the residents of

a south florida condo have been told to leave their apartment building because it was deemed unsafe after the building failed inspection and they cited sagging floors and termite damage in the 60-year-old building. leyla santiago is there outside of the condo, and i was there at surfside right after that one collapsed, and what is on people's minds? >> yes, that one that collapsed is just five miles away. and what i am getting is a sense of frustration of how this played out. let me show you how this looks, because we are less than 24 hours away of when these residents have to be out of the building. 36 units and 55 resident, and we have seen all morning long folks are coming out, filling up u-haul trucks and having a sense of frustration of not getting enough notice, and not really

knowing what is next, what the plan is, where they will go, when they can return and in terms of assistance of when the mayor is going to be there for them. so, john, backing up, this is a building built in the 1960s and up for the 60-year-old building certification, so they have the building inspection, and it did not go well for them. they have sagging floors and termite damage and there was a leak that caused a partial ceiling collapse that impacted a few of the condos in there and so as a result, the mayor said that this is deemed unsafe, and gave that deadline of tomorrow that they have to be out of the building. but as i mentioned, i had a conversation with one of the homeowners and it was overwhelming frustration on his part even questioning outside of interests here. lis listen. >> moving on a super short

notice is what i am doing today. >> reporter: how many days have passed? >> we had since friday i guess, but i am a musician, so i was working friday and saturday and yesterday, and i didn't have too much time. >> reporter: again, the feeling of being overwhelmed that i am getting from the residents here. and important to mention the context the of we are five miles away from surfside, so there is a lot of sensitivity to that and the resident that i spoke to acknowledged that, but he did not like the way that the city is handling this. the mayor saying that there is resources available to help the residents out. >> they feel helpless. leyla santiago there for us. thank you. and a car has crashed near a popular jerusalem market, and our crew is there as the police are investigating the accident. and a russian foreign minister sergey lavrov is going

there? >> we are hearing from benjamin netanyahu that this is not being called a terrorist attack, but the car is being towed away, and we are behind one of the main marks here that is incredibly popular with locals and tourists. at the time of the attack, the suv drove into the pedestrians and not sure if it was while they were crossing streets, and so, a civilian who was on the scene who happened to be armed, shot and killed the driver. we do not know yet from the authorities the identity of the driver, but the police and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are now calling it a terrorist attack. there has not been an attack like this in a central popular area of jerusalem in quite some

time. but in the actual, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was not far from here at the time of at the attack attending a memorial service. this is what he said at the event. he said another attempt to murder israeli civilians, and this attack reminds us that the land of israel and state of israel is acquired through many trials and tribulations, and this is a tense time in the region for more than a year, and it goes to show you that while the last week is calm, but really any day here anything like this can happen, kate. >> it is this being exactly that kind of reminder. hadas gold in jerusalem for us. sara. >> coming up, ed sheeran is being accused of copying a marvin gaye classic. we will let you listen to song in question.
