of you. a asadvertised, the sun has broken through the clouds across our area now as you can see. the tidal basin, you just missed it, a race with the folks --t the paddleboats, a paddleboat race down here. you just missed it. it was great. outside again, we show youhe clouds to our east. the sun is breaking through the clouds. temperatures have warmed up, all we needed was just a little bit of sunshine. winds from the south at 5 per hour. and temperatures will take off from here. notice temperatures now in the 60s across the board. manassas 62. culpepper, 64 degrees. temperatures warmer than they were here and on our nation's capital. you know th is coming in from the west and the cherry blossoms, everyone, regardless of wre you are today, the tidal basin, just at home, temperatures go from nice, cloudy, clouut conditions, temperatures from the 50s to the 60s to the 70s we go.i very weekend is on tap. here is the storm system, which is going to change our weather over the next 24 to 48 hours.

moving in now to the ohio valley, bringing a lot of midlevel moisture along with it. thunderstorms occurren in areas of the tennessee valley and arkansas yesterday and some thunderstorms are going to be moving our way as a high pressure system moves to the east off the eastern seaboard. at, as a reswe will pick up more cloudiness and threat of showers and thunrms. so with that, here is the forecast for tomorrow, everyone. this is aatorrect tempre for tomorrow. 80, we close in on 80 for high temperature. chance for an afternoon thunderstorm, going to feel almost like summer, everyone. the rest of the week, this is what it looks like.at tempres from the 70s, 80 degrees, mid-70s, 60s. normally about 64 degrees for high temperature. we're going totay above our normal high over the next foreseeable future. hope you enjoy your day, it is going to be great, guys. >> glad we'll ike thank you very much. the 2020 election still a year and a half away. campaigning already starting to get intense. >> always does.

joining u now is moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. chuck, former vice president joe biden has all but announced that he's going to be running for president. but there is these allegations a against him he's a little bit too touchy with women, making them feel you know, i think at one point in time democrats or some people would have thought that he woule have been theto go up against trump. is he more of like a liability for the party? >> i think it just becomes -- it is symbolic of this larger iue with him, which is this debate. i think the reason some democrats are wringing their hands about biden is this. successful presidential mpaigns get to talk about the future. the ones reat fail the ones mired in debatesf thepast. the question is does biden get caught up in too many debates about the past? 70s he had some comments that wouldn't look good in today's light. the anita hill, clarence thomas situatiesn't look good in today's light. the crime bill that doesn't look good in today's light.hi that's the . does he get mired in the

debates? does it take away from his kbility to -- it is always about the -- i l at the last three successful democratic presidential candidates were n, carter, clin obama. they were out of -- outsiders out of nowhere. the last three unsuccessful democrats, hillary clton, john kerry and al gore. resume heavy democrats. mired in the past. >> from that perspective, can you even say he's the front-runner? some people are giving him that label, but -- >> look, i argue that there is a first tier right now and we have seen the initl first tie you have biden and -- you put them up ahead here and then you have onhe cusp of the first s.er of sort of a beto o'rourke, kamala har i think pete buttigieg now. you're seeing he's popped.'s otten there. i don't just say that because he's my elite guest in 9, 9 1/2 minu minutes. but right now that's your top tier, if youwill, with a whole bunch of other people trying to breakthrough. >> so the president made the trip to the border this week again, threatening to shut it down, sang we can't ta in

any more immigrants which is noh america stands for. why does he keep on harboring on this issue? he sees it as a -- for him and the border is a political crutch. look at the last three weeks, thugh the mueller report, looked like it was going well for him, we didn't see thell er report yet. and the health care debacle, we'll have a great plan and no, u're not, okay he pulls from that. whenever he sort of is in a c-de-sac on some other issue, he goes after the border on immigration. it keeps the base fired up. and it -- it unites the republican party. you'll hear with mitt romney, every elected republican now is , notannot be seen public being on the president's side on immigration. here is the risk here for this. i think h believes it is important as 2020. here is the risk. look at the border states and what happened to them in 2018. democrats did it extraordinarily well in arizona, new mexico an texas. you can't tell me that what that is a coincidence because of what

is on the border. the risk is he puts more of those areas in >>play. think it is interesting he's saying that we can't take in -- >> that part of >> that's different than -- >> it is funny you say that. the way i asked the question. just doesn't sound like what that american president would me say about ca, the idea that we're full. you could say the asylum process is broken. strong argument for that. but the question is where are we not taking fugees? not taking -- that we have conflated what is o go right now on the border with sort of our larger bief system as a country. >> that seemingly still rallies out the ybase. ou mentioned pete buttigieg who else? >> mitt romney. ete buttigieg. it is an interesting -- once and former presidential candidates.d once future. we know pete buttigieg will be e, you never know about mitt romney. >> thank you for stopping by.
