been the thread that connects the course of the last four years. both his campaign and first two-plus years in office. as you've seen the president lay out in the campaign-style video, and as he speaks right now in washington, the connected thread towards the term ahead. why he's decided to make this run. boris, as you noted, this was the worst kept secret in washington. everybody knew it was coming. the time line was the thing in question and tying it to that anniversary, i think is critical for understanding a president whose entire administration both on the economic side, on the policy side and approach in terms of democracy and importance and inflexion point for the country all connect back to that 2019 moment. what you're seeing right now as he speaks and we've had a little bit of it is part of a dual-prong effort that you'll see in the months ahead as his team ramps up the campaign. speaking right now to the union workers very focused on his legislative agenda. very focused on the very significant legislative accomplishments in the last two years. in the campaign video this

morning, we saw another element here, that is probably one of the most important elements. the contrast. a very clear contrast. between the president and not just former president donald trump right now leading in the polls to be his challenger in the general election. but republicans in particular holding the majority in the house. this is how he framed things take a listen. >> you know, around the country, maga extremists are lining up to take on the bedrock freedoms. cutting social security you that paid for your entire life. cutting taxes for the very wealthy. dictatoring what health decisions women can make. banning books and telling people who they can love. >> reporter: and, boris, i think if you view the months ahead, particularly as they build towards that general election next year it's really a dual-pronged approach. there is the record which the president believes he has and then there's the contrast which i think you're going to see repeatedly. now, there's no question, however, that there is work to do. he is the oldest president in american history, 80 years ago old. that is something that has shown

up in poll after poll, not just americans at large but democrats including a cbs poll that came out this morning showing 55% want the president to run again, 45%, don't advisers are confident the democrats will come home. his approval remains high, but that will coalesce in the months ahead. >> notably, his advisers say not to expect any campaign rallies anytime soon. we'll see if that approach changes in the near future. phil mattingly from the white house, thank you so much. brianna. >> let's talk with two people who know joe biden very well s, wrote the book, joe biden the life and what matters now and kate bedingfield who is a longtime adviser. it's interesting, kate, when you look at this announcement video, right out of the gate, the first thing that you see in january 6, it continues this existential

rationale of running joe biden in 20 wi20 with abortion rightsd voting rights, why does the campaign think that this is the more effective route to go, rather than touting joe biden's accomplishments? >> well, i think it's quite simple, brianna, because all elections are choices. and elections are fundamentally the choice. what i imagine you'll see from the campaign moving forward is not just a touting of his accomplishment which is i suspect you'll see. had you heard him out right now talking about what he's done for blue collar workers and the middle class. you'll hear him make the case what's that's done for families but hear him draw this contrast. you saw that fundamentally laid out in the new video that he views this as an extension of the battle for the soul nation from 2020 campaign. he believes this is a fight about freedoms, whether we're going to allow our freedoms to be taken away or protect them. so, as he thinks about the reasons that he's running that for him is motivating, and he's

never going to shy away from drawing that contrast. >> let's talk about the age. you even had "the new york times" ed board, right, biden is going to be 82 at the start of the second term if he does win re-election. the ed board said he should take voters' concerns about his age very seriously. how do you see his campaign, how do you see him handling that? >> you know, it's not a mystery to him, he knows it's something on people's minds. it's been on their minds for a while. if you go back to the 2008 campaign, there was a memorable moment, and look, i'm 65, and barack obama does not have to worry about me conditioning myself for the presidency. a lot of time has transpired between then and now. the biggest thing for politics between then and now is donald trump got on the scene and that has been the galvanizing fact for joe biden. but to use the words he used in the video this morning, we can't get complacent. which is as close as he came to

acknowledging that people have hesitations but saying for the moment, you have to remember who beat donald trump the last time and that's the person in position. >> one of the things, kate, that the ed board points out, biden has held fewer news conferences and media than modern predecessors. why not do more to put this to rest. show his mettle, get him out there to answer more tough questions in front of cameras? >> well as you guys know well, he actually takes questions from the press every day. i can say that as somebody who recently departed the communications office at the white house. as he goes throughout the day, he has a corps of press who follow him around asking him questions and he very often engages. >> but what about interviews in press conferences? >> the other thing he does, he also talks to nontraditional media sources. he uses digital. we're living -- i don't have to tell you this -- we're living in an incredibly fractured media environment. the president and his team have to think about how doll we reach people how they're actually get think news. some of them are getting it from

cable news but a lot from original newspapers from, you know, online sources. from their community chat board where is they're chatting with each other. so the president's team thinks about a lot about how to get him out beyond the traditional media. but i will say, the president spends a lot of time talking to the d.c. press corps every single day at the white house. >> there could be more if you compare it to other administrations for sure but i do want to move on because there was a republican response. this is an ai-generated response that honestly resembled more as an episode of "the last of us" than a typical campaign ad. invading taiwan, hundreds of banks collapsed. san francisco shut down over prime, the border overrun. evan, is this race coming down to what are people more afraid of? >> that's apocalypse chic what you described right there. people have realistic concerns, particularly democrats concerning what donald trump will do if he comes back into

office. it's not a mystery, he talked about it. compare the video shown this morning by joe biden, compared to what he did in 2019, there is symmetry. but the fact is the events of january 6 were a game-changer to people. and they ever overturning roe v. wade was a game-changer. it makes people concerned about the politics to come not in a fanciful horizon, but in the next few years. >> we'll see which one voters buy, if this is the face-off that we end up seeing ultimately. kate and evan, thank you so much for being here. jim. until sudan right now, the three-day cease-fire is holding to some degree. there has been gunfire, fighter jets seen around the capital with each side accusing the other being responsible for breaking the truce. what you're seeing here is now growing anger in the streets of khartoum. protesters demanding an end to the violence that broke out more than a week ago now. some residents near the capital are saying desperation are setting in as food and fresh water are both starting to run

out. we're also getting some new pictures of u.s. diplomatic staff evacuated from sudan. one warm greeting there. at the u.s. base in djibouti, sam kiley is in djibouti. the u.s. says it's too dangerous and too large of a job to evacuate the thousands of others of u.s. citizens there, many of them dual-nationals but they are sending two warships to the port of sudan. d do we know what those are for? and what's the latest on the condition of those americans remaining behind? >> reporter: so, on the warship, jim, yes, the u.s. is sending two warships. the british is doing the same. the french frigate actually docked in port sudan, taking 500 people, mostly people who made it to port sudan across more than 500 miles of desert from khartoum. in a u.n. convoy. and the british are saying that they expect to be able to have two evacuation flights land in the military air field, near the

part of the twin city are khartoum, across the nile there. later on today/tonight. in that context, the americans are saying notwithstanding the fact that there could be some 16,000 americans still in the country, they do not see even the cease-fire at the moment, as providing a permissive enough environment to continue evacuations. they are still advising citizens to shelter in place, effectively. because the cease-fire doesn't appear to be holding. so, there's a degree of friction there. the british government had come under very bitter criticism from british citizens who remain trapped. there's a lot of publicity around that and the british media so perhaps that is a galvanizing factor. and clearly, there had been some contingency planning for military intervention in port khartoum. but if that is necessary, port sudan still in the hands of the

faction calling themselves the sudanese government. jim. >> not a great vote of confidence in that cease-fire if the u.s. and others think it's safe. we do have this other brewing threat there, that's the w.h.o. speaking of the health lab in khartoum taken over by the warring factions. they say it's a huge biological risk. you have a number of, well, samples of things like polio, measles, et cetera, what do we know about the conditions and threat there? >> reporter: well, we don't know too much because the world health organization is not identifying the warring faction, as they call it, that has ransacked, or entered this laboratory. it is the sort of laboratory that you have around the world, necessary to have the kind of precursor, the original, infections in order to produce vaccines and tests and so on. there's also cholera in that location. this is a city that is short -- desperately short of clean water, food and fuel, if you

added cholera to that mix, you would have something really catastrophic. and that is what the w.h.o. is warning about, jim. and why there is so much pressure now being brought to bear, particularly by u.s. and saudi diplomats on both of the warring parties in sudan, to respect this three-day cease-fire which was supposed to start midnight last night. the americans also saying they are soaking the area with ice, effectively spy planes and others to monitor the situation, to be able to figure out what next to do with the increasing number of people desperate to get out of that country. jim. >> and the many ripples beyond the conflict. sam kiley in djibouti, thanks. a new trial against donald trump this time for allegedly assault e. jean carroll in a dressing room in the '90s. what to watch for in that case still ahead. plus, a big development in another trump case over election

damages as well as vee traction from trump. cnn's kara scannel is outside the courthouse. tell us where we stand not and what are the potential outcomes of the trial? >> reporter: well, jim, we just learned that a jury has been selected in the case after two hours of questioning by the judge this morning. the judge has impanelled a jury of nine people. they will hear the lawsuit. as you said, it is a civil case, so the former president is not required to be here. he could testify from both sides and the jury could hear from him from a videotaped deposition that he gave in the case in october. as rest of this plays out, this is the plaintiff's case, this is e. jean carroll's case, she is expected to testify in this case. and she won several pretrial rulings that went over her favor of the opposition of the former president. she can call two friends that she allegedly told about this assault in the 1990s.

and also allowed to call two other women who have claimed they were sexually assaulted by the former president. they already came public with their stories but she is going to be allowed to bring them into court and have them testify about their experiences and she can play the "access hollywood" tape. that's the tape that trump can talk about aggressive moves towards women. the former president's team has not alleged that they will wing as a witness but alleging that the assault never occurred. >> kara scannel, thank you from the courthouse. and we're learning details about when champs may drop for frump in georgia. the judge under investigation there. atlanta district attorney in charge of the case warning law enforcement to be ready if she plans whether to bring charges. we have cnn's sara murray following the developments for us.

sara, when should we be expecting all of this to go down? >> we've been waiting for this, right? >> a while. >> in this letter, she's warning law enforcement to be ready and saying the time frame is going to be between june 11th and 21st. that's a grand jury term. that's how long a grand jury would sit. so sometime in that time frame, we'll either see her come out and say i'm not bringing charges or see her go behind closed doors present this case to a grand jury, try to seek an indictment or multiple indictments. >> what is she investigating? >> so this is a wide-ranging investigation. we know she has audio of least three recordings of donald trump pressuring officials to access voting machines in a rural county in georgia. we also know we're looking at threats of harassment dependent election workers. we heard about that in the january 6th committee hearings as well as the fake elector scheme. look, more than a dozen people have been warned they're targets

in the investigation. she's been flipping people into cooperators in recent weeks so there's still kind of a lot for them to dig through in the coming weeks before she reaches this decision whether she'll bring charges. >> sara, thank you for that. so much legal exposure here, potentially, boris. >> absolutely, brianna. there's still questions in the cases. let's get legal perspective with former federal prosecutor and host of it's complicated pod cap. renaldo mariotti. thank you for sharing part of your afternoons with us. this letter from d.a. willis, is she tipping her hand here? is it likely we'll see indictments? >> you know, i think that she's not exactly been playing her cards close to the vest for a while now. i think it's fairly clear that she's going to seek an indictment. and i do think that this was her sending a signal to the public, as to when they could expect indictments, you know, she had previously made a statement that i think was ill-advised saying that indictments were imminent.

imminent now means the summer. and i think that's because you have been seeing some, you know, work that she's been trying to do to get cooperators, you know, some of these fake electors -- so-called fake electors to cooperate. and i think she's sending a signal that we are going to have to wait until the summer. but i do think indictments are on the way. >> renato, we saw how the trump indictment unfolded in the courtroom. no mug shots, no handcuffs. how might this be different in fulton county, georgia? >> well, it's definitely a less defendant-friendly venue. and i think it's also fair to say it's another environment where donald trump is less of a home turf for him. my understanding he now lives in florida. but manhattan was a place where i think the d.a. there was willing to try to cut corners in terms of the process, in order

to make accommodations to the former president. it's not clear to me if fani willis is going to do the same thing. she seems to have more of a desire to have this play out in publi public. so, i wouldn't be surprised if trump has to go through a different procedure here. >> so, on the potential conspiracy and racketeeing charges that sources indicate she is weighing, how do those recording that we have of torum, at least three, where he's asking georgia officials to find 11,000 plus votes how might those recordings go into a racketeering or conspiracy charge for the former president? >> they're going to be absolutely key. boris, the most important thing you mentioned, plural. that we're dealing with multiple recordings. there was this recording that got a lot of attention. the former president approaching

brad raffensperger asking him to find votes. you can explain away a single recording, perhaps he misspoke or the language. but the pattern is important but he also reached out to the now deceased georgia speaker of the house, who was a republican, trying to get him to overturn the election as well. i think that's a recent cnn reporting. all of that together i think shows a pattern of activity, and him working together with others, for a common purpose. and i think we are more likely than not to see some sort of broader conspiracy-time charge for rico charge from the d.a. >> yeah, all eyes will be on fulton county from july to september if we see potential indictments. renato mariotti, thank you so much. house speaker kevin mccarthy putting it all on the line. pushing ahead with his debt ceiling plan, even knowing some in his own party are going to

vote against him. president biden to veto it. we'll have the latest from capitol hill. a stunning accusation from florida's surgeon general which said he personally altered a report on the covid vaccine to suggest a higher risk for young men. we're going to dig into the allelegations and also hear his response. that's coming up. -that's it? -yeah. progressive's home quote explorer makes it easy to compare home insurance options. cool. what do we do now? we live. save time and money with progressive's home quote explorer. what you do afterwards is up to you.

welcome back. after months of hinting that he would be running for re-election, president biden made it official this morning. in a three-minute video he said the battle for the soul of america is not over. at 80 years old, biden is the oldest man to serve as president and now the third oldest to run for office. a major source of fodder for his critics, but democrats seem to agree biden is unlikely to face a serious challenger from within the party. and violence still too dangerous to take unguided evacuation from sudan. but the u.s. has a plan to send ships to the port sea. and send two warships there immediately. journalists reported hearing fighter jets in khartoum this morning. jim. >> dicey situation there. well, a handful of gop efection koz sink in.

the president says if it gets to him, he could veto it. that's what house speaker kevin mccarthy is speaking with the debt ceiling proposal. it would raise the debt ceiling by $1.3 trillion but hefty spending cut which is the white house opposed. last night, biden made it clear that the white house would veto it if it reaches his desk. despite that, cnn's manu raju following it on capitol hill. i understood you caught up with the speaker a short time ago. the key question is does he have the votes in his own caucus? >> reporter: he would not say if he did. and i asked him whether or not he would change the bill in order to win over skeptics, also would not respond to that. but that is the big question here going forward because he has met resistance within the ranks, some iowa republicans, four of them that want breaks to the fml tax breaks repealed in

the legislation. and conservatives strengthening to make stricter the work requirements proposed for medicaid beneficiaries. something both things that leadership does not want to do. they do not want to change the bill because they believe that will complicate its chances of passing. but when i asked the speaker that moments ago, he didn't say what he intends to do. >> do you have to change the bill for election? you're the first person i'm going to call. >> reporter: so, he said, i'd be the first person to call. i'm stitt waiting by the phone. no word yet from the speaker but there is very little margin for error for the speaker to get this through the house. he had hoped to get this done by wednesday. it unclear whether or not that will happen, because more than four republican defections would be enough to tank this bill in the house, given that all democrats are expected to oppose

the plan given it's tied to spending cuts that they largely oppose. there are some members like tim burchett of tennessee who said he's, quote, a no. and matt gaetz, he's a no. and four republicans signaling there are nos if there are no changes here. jim, you see the math challenges ahead for speaker mccarthy as he works behind the scenes to lock down the votes and get it past the house. even if it passed the house, the democrats say they're not going to act on this bill without spending cuts, a position strongly opposed by the speaker of the house. therein lies the challenges for washington to try to get together, try to get a deal and avert the first ever debt defaulted as soon as june. >> that reminds me of counting the votes before the speakership vote which he did manage, we should note, to get through. manu raju on the hill, thank you. boris. politico is reporting that florida's top doctor, surgeon

general dr. joseph ladapo altered key findings in a study with covid-19. last year, floladapo personally changed a report with significant health risks to men 18 to 39. cnn's medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us now. so what does the cdc say about the cardiac risks associated with mrna vaccines and what did the surgeon general change? >> boris, the cdc is very clear that these events do happen, that they're rare, so this would be myocarditis after getting an mrna vaccine like moderna or pfizer. the cdc says they don't hide this, they say it's care that it happens it resolving easily -- they don't use that word -- resolves quite quickly.

people do not die from this and it's rare. and your chances of getting very sick from covid are way higher than anything bad happening to you from the vaccine. so, let's take a look at what the florida surgeon general did. he deleted a sentence and said increased risk of cardiac-related deaths nor longer significant. so, it said it was no longer significant, he took that away. he added a sentence that said mrna vaccines may be driving increased risk of cardiac-related deaths. there is no data behind that. these are illnesses that resolve quickly. these are not deaths so that's what happened in the situation with the florida surgeon general. boris. >> so what is he saying now about this new reporting? >> so, he has put out a statement, let's read part of it, so the florida surgeon general is saying the public has been the recipient of biased data and interpretations since the beginning of the mrna covid vaccine campaign. i have never been afraid of disagreement with peers or

media. also the florida department of health because this was a florida department of health analysis says this analysis was never conducted or classified as research. this is a surveillance conducted within dr. ladapo's authority as surgeon general. mrna vaccines are associated with cardiac risk, and reports should be communicated to the public. we don't know what they mean by reports of sudden death because they don't say what they mean. they don't give any data. they don't give any background. they just put it out there that there were these deaths when in fact that aren't reports like that. it's unclear exactly what they're talk about. boris. >> important to point out there's no evidence, they put forward no evidence of that. elizabeth cohen, thank you so much. brianna, to you. coming up, mass shooting suspects in court. five of the six accused in the sweet 16 birthday party shooting in alabama in front of a judge
