if i may respond to bakari, joe biden has some problems. i don't know if he has problems on the left. that's bakari's department, but in the middle, he has problems. immigration is a problem. inflation as a problem, just general economic anxiety is a problem. and bakari knows it and that's why joe biden's job approval numbers are so low because the middle of the country country thinks he's failing and there's some nostalgia for the trump economy that people think was good pre-pandemic >> bakari, i feel like by the rules of this your name was invoked, so you got you got a rebuttal here >> but i reserve my time. i reserve my time. no. i think that there are this this is a different type of election and i'd like to talk about, does the science of the politics for a moment. and i think scott would agree with this. this is not a persuasion election these two candidates are so entrenched people had their opinions about joe biden and donald trump. not much is going to move. and so when you ask a question like does he have problems with the left of

kristen bakari, matt, great conversation to kick off. super tuesday. i will leave you with this we're announce that i am retired right now it's >> i'm retired from the nfl >> after >> 13 seasons with the philadelphia eagles >> and the city of brotherly love, jason kelce saying goodbye to the game. he loves a seven-time pro bowler, likely future hall of famer. he spent his entire nfl career with the eagles i love him. he thanked his coaches, teammates, fans, family, and notably his brother travis >> there is no chance i'd be here without the bond. travis and i share it's only too poetic. i found my career being fulfilled in the city. of brotherly love i knew that relationship all too well. >> eagles owner jeffrey lurie put it this way. has there ever been a more perfect marrge

bakari, madam, gonna stay with us for a second. but i do want to turn to another headline out of mar-a-lago, the race to replace mitch mcconnell as the senate republican leaders is heating up with more senators considering the position. florida senator rick scott visited trump at mar-a-lago, and he posted this photo of the two to the platform formerly known as twitter. scott is weighing a run for republican leadership after losing a bid to challenge mcconnell after the 2022 midterms he is holding a news conference today, although we think it's unlikely that he's going to announce his intentions. matt gorman, link, let me put this to you since you worked for tim scott's campaign, you're aware of a lot of these kind of dynamics in the senate. this is a seismic shift, obviously the vault scott senator >> yes. sorry no, it's funny you know, you are >> exact copy, >> but what do you make of this? because look, rick scott it's clear that there is this emerging you've got two men named john, sort of establishment in the senate, john thune

bakari, political and other political issue. i want to share with you and our viewers are really fascinating profile by evan osnos in the new yorker magazine entitled joe biden's last campaign. campaign acidosis, who did a lengthy oval office interview with the president writes this, and i'm quoting him when i asked whether he thinks that trump will concede if he loses in 2024, biden said no losers, who are losers are never gracefully said, i just think that he'll do anything to try to win if and when i win i think you'll contested no matter what the result is. so bakari, do you see this biden needling trump or an ominous prediction >> yes and i think, you know, the campaign, the biden campaign has made a concerted effort to labeled donald trump is a loser. i'm every since 2016, donald trump has not won much, whether or not his 2018 midterms 2020 election 2022, midterms, et cetera. and so i think that that loser caricature loser, loser label is sticking with trump and needling him. but this race is so far away from where we sit

bakari, i mean, what do you think about that? one of the things that is going to come down in terms of being a huge issue in this race is going to be social security. i made it may seem like a settled issue because what's happened over the course of so many campaigns. but trump the other day, i was talking about cuts to social security. now he's backtracking on that saying he would quote, never do anything that would jeopardize or hurt social security or medicare. this week, he suggested he was open to cuts during an interview with cnbc, what do you think? >> well, first, just mark it down. i guess we're at about 10:20 eastern time that bakari sellers agrees with scott jennings. that's first i think that the campaigns have to be forward looking. i think that campaigns have to be able to articulate what they're going to do for individuals today, particularly around kitchen table issues. when you come to things like social security, medicare, medicaid, this president has a unique ability to talk about preserving those institutions

i mean i think my question just comes back to bakari, her voters, right? like these people are showing up, even if many of them are independence, there are democrats, right in some of these, in some states they are now there's, it's a chunk of the republican party. i mean, there is a sizable constituency in the united states right now, the fuel is politically homeless, right? conversations about third parties are more impactful this cycle than they've been in a really long time. i mean, all of the the polls show that people are really unhappy with their choices. i mean, where do those people go? >> so first, the push back on the frame of the question a little bit is a presumption that they have to go somewhere and i don't think they'll just stay home. i believe that is a huge risk that we'll see in this election. and that's a greater risk for the president of the united states and the former president. and that is what they're guarding against this apathy. that means that voters, particularly voters of color, will stay home, also pushed back on the presump

and that kind of brings us right here into the studio with our great panel, bakari. it seems like both candidates donald trump, joe biden, got the matchup that they probably wanted but you as a democrat, if you're looking at this, i'm hearing a lot of democrats yelling on social media about how things are not so bad for joe biden that donald trump is so weak. do you see it that way? >> first my advice is anybody that's evaluating this race needs to get off social media. that's probably first >> so that's step one. first >> of all, you have to admit you have a problem, abby. i mean, it means you have a problem they address it now. so again, on social media, but this is the match-up the democrats wanted if these were going to be the candidates, we want to run against donald trump. if joe biden is going to be the nominee? >> here's >> it was a foregone conclusion, donald joe biden was going to be the nominee, and so bring on donald trump in november. there's no other candidate in the history of the united states that has this many glaring weaknesses. you ask somebody in

my very personal bakari we're going to pick this up a different time. i do try to go to work. i can go to play here. okay. sure. my bacardi sellers, my fellow americans. thank you very much. >> thanks, john >> boeing's chief financial officer, is projecting the company will post a huge loss in the first quarter polling all the recent safety incidents just minutes away from the opening bell on wall street, a lot of green market futures all pointing up this after all three indices closed at record highs on the same day for the first time in years, can the magic run continue >> before the bell brought to you by cfp professionals, find your cfp professional today, yet let's make a plan.org, then go to cnn slash before the bell to stay on top of markets and sign up for the daily news switch, like are we operating asking the right question can greatly impacted your future share your north the pietas specially when it comes to your finances? yes. certified financial planner. i'm a >> cfp professional >> cop professionals are committed to acting in your best interest. that's why it's

now cnn political commentators ana navarro and bakari sellers, that was no joke by the way. i mean, that was all wrong in katie britt's rebuttal the state of the union, and i want to go first to you because you were very energized by her rebuttal. >> i'm still energized. i still can't get over what i saw and listen, it's not often that the snl skit is less ridiculous than what actually happened. i think they should have just played the real video because that's more comical and horrifying at the same time than anything. any comedy writer can do. so, yes, the story that she told there is it's not fabricated, but it is changed and adapted to fit her narrative that it happened under joe biden in the united states. it happened in 2004. so 20 years ago when george w bush was precedent it's a tragic, tragic story. these things do happen. it is the story of a real person. karla has seen to romero. it happened in tijuana, not in the united states. and it did not happen because of joe biden's executive orders or policies and so basically, everything that she said was a lie and she's

so a bakari first i mean, uh, biden testimony is probably not top of mind this morning for the president instead that huge fundraising haul of 26 million last night here in new york work so what kind of momentum does this give his reelection campaign? was there something said some inspiration inside a perhaps even the demonstrators? traders outside concerned about palestinians which will shape biden's messaging this point forward >> yeah, there's no way to put a damper on what the president was able to accomplish yesterday. what you saw was a party unified. i mean, you had bill clinton yeah. joe biden then you have barack obama altogether raising money for a unified effort to defeat donald trump. i don't think you can pay george w bush in any, any amount of money to stand next to donald trump, you have a fracture at party, you have nikki haley who garnered a third to 40% of the republican voters as she was running for. failed bid in the primary election. so you have a unified party versus a fraction party. and even more importantly, one of the things that you pointed to is $26 million is

our next guest then aisle bakari fled the fighting in gaza city in the early days of the war, she and her family are now living in rafah and she's posting to social media about the difficulties palestinians in rafah struggle with every day. listen us i've been displaced three times and i've ended up here in this is cool. there's no electricity, no food, no clean water >> has to queue for our >> just to take a shower. otus well, it we expecting to israeli forces coming through up. i have very soon and people who are saw depressed and suffering because they lost everything. >> when everything, maignan, everything. >> and aisle bakari joins us, live now from rafah. so thank you so much for being here with us. so that video was from a little while ago. so just give us an update. what are the conditions for you and others there right now, they're in rafah actually, the conditions are challenging guns in coming the best i can. i live in displacement school. >> we have zero >> privacy and live in a classroom with many families we wait for hours for our basic needs, like i have to use the sam

let's bring in cnn political commentators, bakari sellers and scott jennings. scott kennedy is polling and double-figures. now nationally. but shanahan has an unknown with no real political experience so did he do himself that he favors with this pick >> well, she's got the most important currency in politics for him, and that's actual currency. she is a very wealthy person and he needs money. and she talked about helping him get on the ballot today. i. don't think the vice presidential pick usually makes a big electorial difference for the kennedy ticket. she brings a lot of money to the table and also she shares a lot of his liberal views, so they mesh well there, but really this is about cash getting some into this campaign. and when they get it, i think they can make a difference with it. >> so big curry, how concerned should the biden? dmb that he will oppose support from people who might otherwise vote for the president >> there is a concern about a third-party candidacy, but the concern is not because of who he chewed, chooses as vice president. nobody k

so in other words, we need to know for to save democracy, we need to less than bakari, that's seems to be their message because a lot of voters are simply not very satisfied with joe biden. let's be honest. i mean, a lot of people who voted for joe biden in the last election, then vote for him because they loved them. they voted for him because they couldn't stand donald trump and if there are more if there's more than one non-trump candidates on the ballot. well then that means that the anti-trump vote can go a number of different ways. and that's why the democrats are literally freaking out over these small party candidates and no labels is not yet announced. the candidate they may or may not have one, but between rfk junior cornel west, jill stein, the democrats are really paying anna and i think they probably should. >> all right, malcolm thank panic among democrats. >> let's this is where i think, you know two quote succession, these are not serious people and i think that every single day we get closer to november, we need to be crystal clear. the next president of the united sta
