10:05 am
i am going to start off by showing you just a few headlines on this topic of a potential trump and biden rematch. there is an nbc news article that says biden versus trump 2024 would be the rematch nobody wants. fox news headline. biden versus trump, americans weigh in on possible 2024 rematch. axios headline, most americans do not want biden or trump to run and one more from the guardian, biden versus trump, u.s. is and enthused by likely rematch of two old white men. all of the articles are referring to the same poll, poll from nbc news. i want to bring up a few results
10:06 am
of the poll, it was published last week, april 23. favorability ratings, biden 38% favorability, unfavorable 48%. that is a 10 point deficit for trump, favorable 34% of voters pulled had a favorable opinion of trump, 53% had an unfavorable opinion. that is a 19 point deficit. let us look at the question of should they run. in the question should president biden run for president again, 70% of respondents said no, only 26% said yes. on the same question, should former president trump run in 2024, a little better.
10:07 am
60% of respondents said no, 35% said yes. this is a poll from nbc news that was published april 23. the question is for you. do you think biden or trump would be your pick for president in 2024, or would you support another candidate? call and now, give us your opinions. sheila is calling from georgia, tell us why biden is your choice for this election. caller: he has always been my choice. the thing about his age is not quite up to it, i watched the correspondents dinner saturday, there is not a thing wrong with him. at all.
10:08 am
i've seen some little shots where he has stammered here and there, but don't we all do that from time to time? at his age, i do not have a problem with it. i am 72. the only thing i kind of am worried about -- host: can you explain? caller: they do not give her enough coverage, the media does not, about what she is actually doing. i know this is always been a problem with vice presidents in news media, but i voted for joe biden. thank you very much. host: let us go to chris in
10:09 am
ohio, you are a trump supporter. tell us why. caller: good morning. joe biden has been a politician all his life, donald trump and his family work for a living and i think trump is more qualified than biden because he actually signs checks to people and biden has never done that. he's been a politician all his life. so yes, i am a trump supporter, thank you for taking my call. host: at the next, jim calling from mississippi. you say there is another candidate you have in mind. caller: good morning. i've never voted third-party, but i feel like this might be the election where i might do that.
10:10 am
i voted for biden the last election, but this time around, after the withdrawal from afghanistan which i thousand nightmare -- thought was a nightmare, i feel like andrew yang might be a viable candidate for a third-party run. host: why him? caller: i really like his idea of when he ran last time back in 2020, about universal basic income. that is something we eventually are going to need. but beyond that, i think his forward party has put together -- it is progressive in a lot of ways. it is more central with a very pro-business attitude, as opposed to the more i guess
10:11 am
antibusiness attitude a lot of the left has nowadays. host: thanks for your call this morning. next we have rate in new york state, you say you are undecided. caller: yes, both biden and trump are too old. host: your choices ron desantis, tell us more why he would be your choice. caller: because he didn't outstanding job with florida and i think you can do the same with the country. host: teresa is calling from columbus, ohio. you say that biden has your support. caller: absolutely. the man has been in congress a long time, he's been able to
10:12 am
reach across the aisle and get things done. we have seen things down the last couple of years that he's been president and he has led our country for the world and ukraine, we needed to have that done. the only thing i would ask more for his may get ohio on the map with the few democrats running cities, because we are such a republican run state and it is very disheartening. thank you. host: our question this morning is about a potential biden and trump rematch, they are leading in the polls. we want to know who you would vote for. let us look at some video, this is former president trump from a campaign event in new hampshire on thursday night.
10:13 am
he taps the fact he is leading in the polls and explains why he thinks perspective voters are supporting him. [video clip] >> these polls are amazing, today's important and big emerson poll came out. trumpet 62%, dissent is at 60%, mike pence at 7%. obviously, people are dreaming of energy independence, a strong military like you had. low taxes that are strong, we want strong borders and low taxes, we want low interest rates, we want to be respected throughout the world, not left out. we are left at. somebody said what do you think, he is a very powerful strongman at the top of his game. the fake news media said how dare you say that? he controls 1.5 million people, he is not at the top of his game. the same thing with other leaders, they are sharp, they
10:14 am
are smart, at the top of their game. we are the only one that has one that is not, he never had a top of the game if you go back 25 years. in this week's big poll, another big one, trump is leading by 37 points last week. i do not know if you have seen these things, these are good numbers. makes this job easier. under the clarity campaign poll, a big one, i lead by 45 points at 65% with desantis at 20%, pence at 4% and sloppy chris christie at less than 1%. which is better than seven years ago on the same stage against me right here in new hampshire, he was less than 1%, he is still less than 1%. he is doing much better, got a
10:15 am
big mouth, that is all he's got. host: that was former president trump speaking at a campaign event in new hampshire. the pool he was referring to was conducted by emerson college. i want to go over some of the results of that poll. one of the questions was about biden, the poll says that the share of democratic voters who think that biden should be the nominee was 65%, that was a decrease from 71% from a february poll. 65% of the voters polled said biden should be the nominee. i will scroll down to this. when presented with other candidates, biden support increased to 70%, kennedy junior , the son of former attorney general was 21% and williamson
10:16 am
received 8%. for the republican primary -- this is what trump was referring to -- when put up against other candidates -- potential other candidates, trump received 62% support, ron desantis, the florida governor who has not officially announced, he had a 16% of support. mike pence at 7%, nikki haley at 3%. former governor chris christie 2%, former governor asa hutchinson 2% and about 4% mentioned someone else. recent polling shows biden and trump leading voters as their respective parties nominees. the question for you come are you prepared to support biden or
10:17 am
trump, or would you prefer someone else? if you think biden should be president, we want you to call us at (202) 748-8000. if you think trump deserves to return to the white house, call us at (202) 748-8001. if you support another candidate or think another candidate should be president, we want you to call us at (202) 748-8002. the next caller is dennis from garden city, michigan. you are a biden supporter. caller: i am. you know, i prefer may be somebody else to run that is a little younger for democrats, but the republican party with trump, i cannot support them at all. they have no credibility. they did not believe election results.
10:18 am
he is murdered and all kinds of legal issues and -- he is in all kinds of legal issues and he is not a businessman because he channeled these bankruptcies, all kinds of legal issues. how many lawsuits he has had over his lifetime. he has no credibility, he does not do the u.s. any good. he's divided the nation more so than any other time since probably the civil war. that is my opinion. host: let us go now to north carolina, donna is on the line. you say that trump should become president again. caller: absolutely. this guy goes nonstop, age is not a factor with this guy. he gets things done. if any of the listeners deny that trump didn't get things done that he promised -- i do
10:19 am
not know where they are getting their news, but this guy is not a politician, he is a businessman. sometimes a lot of people do not like him because of how he looks or his attitude. but sometimes you need to someone with his personality to get things done and he has shown as he has lived up to his promises, he is probably the most healthiest man out there as far as a politician. if you are polling on age, that is not an issue with trump. he has got my vote, hands down. host: let us go to dan from michigan, tell us who you would support in the 2020 for election .
10:20 am
caller: i would prefer john casey, is who i'd like to see. i voted for joe biden last time, i voted for donald trump the time before. i would never really favorite joe biden for president, it was more of a against donald trump last time. this time coming up, i really do not want to see the country going more progressive. i did not want to see donald trump back in there. he did some good things, i will admit that. but he did a lot a very damaging things. january 6 is the bottom line for me for donald trump. i would like to see somebody not
10:21 am
extreme right or not extreme left. there is another guy in the republican party, i keep forgetting his last name. his name is don, i believe he is a representative at the time. don bacon. i like that guy, too. that is where i am at. host: appreciate your call. next, we have sonja in maryland, you are a biden supporter. caller: i am. i wish people would stop talking about his age and look at the things that he can do and the things he has done. people are saying we do not want trump, we want biden. biden is a very good president, you must remember we have a
10:22 am
house of representatives and we have senators, biden does not do all of this by himself. if we had control of the other areas, we could get more done. people do not seem to understand it is not a biden country and it was not a trump country. we have a constitution and we try to abide by it, and i think biden is a very good president. i think we should support him. who else are you going to get right now? stop talking about the age thing, look at what he has done and what he wants to finish doing, let us go from there and stop complaining about the age. host: let us hear from lauren from washington, who is your choice for 2024?
10:23 am
caller: i would entertain a different candidate. it will depend on who runs and on who is still around when it comes around to my state for voting in the primary. this seems more prospect for an alternative candidate in the republican party then the democratic party, so it is likely i would pick a candidate like ms. cheney, if she ran. pence if he runs, chris christie, if he runs. those would probably be my top choices. there are democrats i have liked , but someone has to choose to run.
10:24 am
in the general election if biden and trump are the candidates, i will not vote for trump or biden. i will pick a third-party or independent candidate, libertarian or joe manchin or someone else. support someone else in the general election. host: tell us why you cannot support either biden or trump in the upcoming election. caller: well, they are both kind of men that i do not want to be a part of seeing that shaped part of making president.
10:25 am
or president again. my concern with biden is not his age. i am a little disappointed that people talk so much you know, the people who could be opposing biden for more physical reasons are talking about his age, it may be a problem. but i did not approve of biden -- i remember the first time he ran for president, he withdrew after a sort of scandal and i remember that. i am disappointed other people do not seem to remember. it had to do is making a speech
10:26 am
in which she lied about what his parents did for a living, now it seems to have turned out he was doing it because he was plagiarizing the speech of a british politician who had a parents. i just thought that was -- it is not good to lie, it is very odd to lie about that. then some of his other behavior has been concerning and audit. some sexual misbehaviors. film, of course, does not -- he has said quite a few untrue
10:27 am
things. biden has said quite a few, too. if you watch the fact checker, biden regularly -- he is the more credible liar than trump, said in a way, he is more dangerous. host: appreciate your call this morning. we want to hear from you, biden and trump lead in the polls, but who is your choice for the 2024 election? david in new york, you say trump. tell us why. caller: i believe that right now, trump is probably leading biden because there's been a lot
10:28 am
of red herrings in the democratic party that are trying to support issues that are not really constitutional issues, they are trying to make it like it is. they are getting supporters that do not own anything, they do not have everything, yet they are voting to release the taxes, whether it is on the rich or middle caller: i believe that right now trump is probably facing a fight because there's been a lot of red herrings in the democratic party. they are trying to support issues that are not really constitutional issues and they are trying to make it like it is. they are getting supporters that really don't own anything. they don't really have anything. and yet they are prone to raise the taxes whether it is on the
