now, you might look at david axelrod and say wait a second.aybe is he just being honest and maybe he really has no ax to grind. there is no great candidate that david axelrod seems to want to run instead of joe biden. and steve, what you were saying about gavin newsom, gavin news loses to trump. gam has a huge problem with his track record. >> he has that big debate next week desantis. >> he is not-david axelrod is not putting out the name of anybody did you s. but maybe he has somebody in mind aside from michelle obama. >> that's true. >> everybody thinks if michelle obama wanted to get into politics and do it. she has no political experience other than being the first lady. but then again neither did donald trump until he became president. she would win. >> ainsley: does she want to be in the white house and have that responsibility and stress. in 2021 trump endorsed greg abbott. the governor of texas for his third run for governor. third term. when he was running against beto o'rourke. now the governor is returning the favor he endorsed tru

david axelrod joins us now. appreciate your time. you know when you're typing out these two tweets what the response is going to be and i guess i would start with what's the intent here? what do you want him to decide is in his best interest and the country's? >> look, only he can decide that, phil, but -- and i don't -- i'm not reacting to one particular poll, but, you know, a whole body of research and conversations with people, and my concerns -- i want to make clear i think biden has been a great president, i think he's done things that have generational -- will have generational impact and importance. i think he's, you know, been honorable in the office. i have nothing but good things to say, but as i've said for like a couple of years now the issue is not -- for him is not political, it's actuarial. you can see that in this poll. there's just a lot of concern about the age issue and that is something that i think he needs to ponder. just do a check and say is this the right thing to do? i believe if he does run he will be the n

[laughter] >> well, i agree, david axelrod is right.t talked about, and i k it was peter ducey said in five out of six states you are behind and he said no, those pools are wrong, we fact checked with real politics, and he's either losing or tied in eightn outit of 10 polls.n but i think that joe biden needs to stop fighting with people. hehe h has this hot temper and a penchant for profanity, start fighting for the job. not convinced, and i honestly don't think he's that different from hillary. i think thshe e joe biden, he'se okay, we won the midterm, we did pretty good the other tuesday is clueless on how to campaign. so we when we get into this war, supporting the war that israel is engaging in wit with hamas, % of americans think that joe biden has made them worse off instead of better off and 70% think worse off. and he's talking about bidenomics. and then you have the fact that he's talking about climate change, which is an existential threat, and you know, the guy ii not connecting with ordinary tha people. i think there's one t

david axelrod's comment seems to put it in biden's hands.ident of the united states, in this case, joe biden doesn't make decisions whether he is going to run or not. this is from the democratic power brokers, joe, do those people, the dnc make a call to the bullpen in light of these poll numbers? >> wow, i wonder if that does happen joe biden himself probably thinks because he's on vacation 40% of the time of his presidency that's an actual stat, an actual number no i can still do this. trying to take the keys away from grandpa when they say you can't drive anymore. ultimately the democratic power brokers decide that msnbc and jen psaki who couldn't be a bigger support of joe biden if she tried saying this on his own turf so to speak. yeah, you got to think at some point the plug will be pulled. the question is if it's not michelle obama for winning emmys and obviously works for netflix and has mansion on the water in martha's vineyard, i don't know if she wants to jump into this. she may be asked politely please to safe the country then i

when david axelrod speaks he is basically sounding board for barack obama.ing that overwhelming number of americans are concerned about when it documents joe biden who, at this moment, is, again, at the beach in delaware. when you spend 40% of your presidency on vacation, that o. may be an issue. if anyone thinks joe biden is going to get better second term goes well into his 80's, that's not the reality. at this point, it's a race against time, however, because if biden doesn't drop out in the next few weeks and say that he's not running, whoever his replacement is on the democratic side won't get on many state ballots. perhaps that's why you are hearing from the likes of david axelrod right now for biden to get out because if he doesn't do this by the time get to 2024 the democratic party is stuck with him and don't want to be stuck with him it appears. >> tim scott has suspended his presidential campaign. he did it on fox news on trey god's show, nikki haley really quickly after suspending the campaign released a statement calling tim scott a good man so

m >> david axelrod ieds not alone.worried about the reelection prospects. >> these polls are alarming, but the joe biden campaign and the country needs tobide understando >> this is a wake-up call, nots just for the joe biden white house, but for anybody who fears the return to a trump presidency and what thatrumt would mean. >> you know, this has to be like a political situation on firele here."t >> 2 "the washington post" hadha pool and even if you remember "the washington post" put in theiutr own reporting that this. probably an outlier in which everyone should not freaeverk o, but several polls have shown th. same thing and now "the new york times" saying it as well. do you think that axelrod is speaking for many, willing to say what melanie democrats are not? >> well, first, there is a belief in the democratic party, the biggest things that unites democrats as they don't want donald trump as president again, to now have the polling,nsis consistent polling showing him not being able to defeat him ins key states, an

. >>> we saw some democrats turn against each other with former obama adviser david axelrod, the question is president biden running for president for his best interest or the country's best interest. biden chief oftaff said this is the man who called biden mr. magoo in 2019. still at it. all this driven by new poll numbers not looking good for biden in his bid to stay in the oval office. jim messina served as obama's white house deputy chief of staff. we just saw donald trump leaving court despite his many, many legal issues, the latest "new york times" polling shows trump is not hurting politically. biden is the one struggling in battlegrounds. trump up 10 in nav nav, 5 in arizona, 5 in michigan, 4 in pennsylvania. how do you explain it? >> a couple ways, jake. the whole thing about polling this far out is silly. this time in 2011, nate silver put barack obama on the cover of "new york times" magazine and said he had a 17% chance to win re-election and he was toast. clearly president obama won handily over mitt romney. at this same time george bush, bill clinton, barack obama trailed. a

that's -- i know david axelrod. i've talked to david axelrod a long time. that's david axelrod sounding worried. >> yeah. well, i mean, i think there is reason to be worried. there's not reason to panic because i was involved in a campaign in 2011 when, in fact, just around this time of year, there was a series of polls that gallup did in battleground states that showed obama trailing both mitt romney and newt gingrich, and we ended up winning that race by a substantial electoral margin. but there were things in this poll that were concerning, and i think people should be -- should not be pollyanna-ish about it. people should not be in denial about it. one of them was that biden was basically running even with trump among voters under 30. he carried them by 2 to 1 in 2020. that is one sign of concern. another was that he is -- that trump was carrying, in this particular poll, in these battleground states, 22% of the african american vote. that's 10% more than he did nationwide in 2020. and the hispanic vote was relatively even, and that's a vote that biden

david axelrod says only joe biden can make this decision. if he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the democratic party. what he needs to decide is whether that is wise. whether it's in his best interest or the country's. what about that, john? >> that's tough stuff coming from david axelrod who, of course, was instrumental in the picking of joe biden to be vice president back in the '08 campaign with barack obama. look, i think what this poll shows, among other things, is that joe biden's biggest problem is something he can't do anything about, which is his age, and perceptions of vigor around that. can democrats do a better job trying to sell his accomplishments to the american people? yes. they clearly have not done a good job doing that to date, but there are fundamental problems for him in this poll that don't seem to be true of a generic democratic candidate. it's late, it's always later than you think. i don't think democrats should be dismissing this. i don't think most are. but, you know, one of the things you heard the whi

david axelrod and larry hogan n will be e here ahehead. >>> welcome back to "state of the union." a notable shift this week from the u.s. in its approach to close ally israel. at the white house president biden expressed frustration over israel's resistance to implementing humanitarian pauses inside gaza, and overseas u.s. secretary of state tony blinken said, quote, far too many palestinians have been killed and more needed to be done to keep civilians safe. >> here with me now is president biden's national security adviser jake sullivan. thank you so much for being here this morning. i just want to be clear. does israel need to do more to limit civilian casualties? >> well, first, dana, every loss of innocent life, palestinian, israeli, anyone is a tragedy, every single one, and we grieve for those who have been lost, those innocent lives who have been lost. at the same time, what israel is facing is a terrorist enemy who hides among civilians, who uses civilians as human shields. it has an added burden of trying to prosecute this campaign against that terrorist group while dist

>> kayleigh: he suggested biden should step aside earlier in the week and biden is not keen on david axelrod. look at this headline, i can't say this headline on air. it is word that rhymes with brick is what biden callings axelrod. >> i can piece together the letters. >> wheel of fortune. >> david axelrod, he's talking about time. time is great benefit and great issue for president biden because he's saying maybe the economy can get better over course of time before the 2024 election, but only going to make biden older and he is turning 81 a week from today. it is his birthday next monday, probably a celebration quietly celebrated by the white house. other issue president biden could have are the, candidates, r.f.k. jr., will that hurt trump if he's the candidate and looking like he will be, will it hurt biden or jill stein? joe manchin not running for senate, he is doing a listening tour around the country, could he jump in? a lot of variables. >> kayleigh: there was interesting poll done this week, stock data strategy, pretty accurate with the midterms, politico wrote this today, third-pa

david axelrod is my friend.e's never respected him. he's always talked badly about him. he trashed him in 2020. he said he was too old. in 2019, said he wasn't going to win in 2020. again, that is okay. that is certainly his business. but to act as if david axelrod criticizing joe biden on or off the record is breaking news is laughable. he has been doing it since joe biden was in the white house. >> well, in fairness to ax, there are a lot of people out there doing this. it's not just ax. i kind of agree with you this probably was not worthy of the coverage that maureen dowd is giving it and that polls can be wrong. i know david axelrod knows that in his bones. i know anybody who's run for office knows that. i do think that it's important, as i said yesterday, this poll should focus the biden camp like a laser on those communities where typically too often their votes are taken for granted by the democratic party. i think in this era, no vote can be taken for granted. just because you're in a union doesn't mean

david axelrod president obama's political adviser suggesting over the weekend time for joe to go.> bret: that is remarkable. in democratic circles they getting to a five alarm fire here? is this that time? >> bret: well, if this keeps up for much longer it looks like donald trump -- see, i think, for the longest time democrats thought the reason we can stick with biden and safely do so is that if trump is the nominee as he looks to be, biden will beat him because he beat him before and very few people in history have ever motivated a party the way trump has motivated not just republicans whom he certainly motivates but democrats a as would gets closer to the reality. nominee maybe that sentiment will revive and help biden. at the moment, you got trump winning in five out of those six battleground states you have shown that is really quite striking. >> bret: brit, last thing as we look at these legal cases some are different than others. symptom are obviously more perilous for the former president than others, just based on the fact patterns. the one in manhattan, he seems to have

>> well look, i agree with david axelrod.hen you have over seven out of every ten americans saying he is too old, including 69% of democrats, and when you have a nearly 2/3 of the country saying he lacks the stamina and mental acuity to be effective as president, you have a real problem. now i do have a minor disagreement with david axelrod. he suggests that the answer is to get going. that is to say the duplicate what barack obama did in mitt romney starting in 2012. it was to start going after mitt romney painting him as heartless who had an elevator in his garage for his cars. they were unending starting in the early part of 2012 going after mitt romney. that was effective. it took bad numbers for barack obama in 2011 and turned it into victory in november of 2012. my disagreement is that barack obama was young, effective, he was -- he could string together two sentences. everybody looked at him and said he is not too old. he is young and energetic and had political skills far better than joe biden's today. joe biden is no

david axelrod quote is something though.lk about shots fired saint jo biden has a 50/50 chance of winning may be worse. what's interesting is even though obama picked obama as his vp he is on it any confidence in him as a presidential candidate there are reports in 2016 pushed him out of the way of course he is infamous quote don't underestimate joe biden's ability to f things out. we learn that lesson the hard way it is all messed up. his trump looking at the "new york times" poll showing trouble winning in five out of six swing states now trailing with black men, young voters, independent voters, the list goes on. however it my big concern caveat is because joe biden is looking so weak i'm worried about what they're going to try to do with the trump with these court cases are they going to ramp it up? are they going to try to keep them in the court to the general election take up his monies wass not spending or? what's it like 30 doing that. >> are entering emptying him already. respond to this quote they are having troubl

[ laughter ] >> yes, exactly right. >> and we were like a couple of seinfelds who wandered into a tom clancy movie. >> nobody told us. >> we were sitting outside -- remember, we were outside the oval office. >> "we

"my bucket is getting pretty empty." and maybe you feel the same way when you look at the wars in the world, the demonstrations, the political chaos. you just ask yourself, "what hope do we have?" well, we've got a lot of hope, if we put our faith and trust in god. you see, god loves you. he made you, he created you, he sent his son jesus christ from heaven to this earth to take our sins. he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins, and god raised him to life. if you are willing to trust him right now, god

david axelrod has been warning age is legitimate problem and president biden is referring to axelrod, man who helped get him elected president as expletive. he said, i don't care them thinking that, i hope they don't think the polls are wrong, they are not. polls cite president biden's age as problem and a problem that is getting worse. the year he was born, world war ii raging, cacasablanca playing. average price of gas $.20 cents tlchl is no movement behind the scenes for any democrat to approach president biden and get him to drop out and put somebody else in. president biden as president is the leader of the party. if he wants to run, he wants to run. back to you. >> steve: no plan b. you asked the president about his age and he didn't answer. when you ask the white house rather than talk about the age, they list the accomplishments. >> peter: try to make the case with age comes great experience, nobody else is that old. voters are not buying it. >> steve: nope. doesn't look like it. >> brian: on foreign policy, he has all this experience. president approval rating is 33%. as a co

>> yeah, listen, david axelrod has been critical of joe biden before. he was critical of him when he was vice president. he was critical of him when he was in the debates. one time calling him mr. magoo but he speaks from a place of prominence inside obama land. when he says that, it means something. i think you are seeing more and more democratic pundits saying something similar. when you have somebody say there is no path forward for president biden, i think that's a little aggressive right now where we are. but they are in trouble and they know it and they will start really trying to dig out. >> bill: one last point, bret. the biden family goes to nantucket every thanksgiving when they have the family conversation about the future. i think for the sake of this conversation, i believe biden is going to run. that's my feeling today and i want to get a gut reaction from you on that. >> i think i agree with you, bill. if i had to do my own day at the casino i would put 70/30 on biden running. the fear is in his mind that he is the only one that can beat

and then david axelrod, doubling, tripling and quadrupling down. joe can't run again.ten. >> the one number in the polling that wassen concerning in front of the scenes in front of a camera what he is projecting is causing people concerns and that's worrisome. >> lawrence: you hear a sell rod -- >> brian: projecting. >> lawrence: you hear israeli jarrett talk they are talking for former president obama. this is the entire camp that he using the channel messages out there to the public. they are very close to the former president. the problem joe biden has right now. >> brian: look at this. >> lawrence: this is crazy. he just doesn't have it anymore. and honestly, i don't think this is about age. this is about -- because everybody is going to meet this day. this is about can he do the job and the one thing that is going to hurt him this time as he fumbles around there on a day that is supposed to be very solemn, is that he is not going to be tibleg connect with voters anymore. that was his thing, being out there, being able to talk with people and as me and brian are go

ouny it is an issue.an i if david axelrod is saying it, that meansssue it is a problem,r just as le figaro is. >> david, you're you'rob>> youem me that bernie and warren both want a primary biden but the democrat brass tolren tolddm to sit down. >> i am telling you that every democrat that wanted to run the the same way they told bernie sanders,to elizabeth warren, cornel west, marianne williamson, robert fwilliamson, kennedy, everybody that raised their hand, they said, hey, i'm willin r i'm wig to run. they were told to sit down and they're sitting down. let's look around.no they're sitting down. nobody is standing up to say, hedingy, let us have a different option. and remember, again, joe biden said he would be a one term president. >> so that was his first line out the gatet. >> he said he will be a one term president. so, joe biden, please, ifatic p you love the democrat party, if you love the people the way that youarhe peopl you say say l fall back and allow another candidate to win. and this has nothing to do with trump. this is what's happening do optt on the left. >> people do n

i mean, you've had some senior voices, actually, david axelrod, who was a senior adviser to presidentpresident, of course, joe biden was president obama's vice president, so they know each other well. david axelrod coming out earlier this week after those polls and saying maybejoe biden shouldn't run on that issue of age is not going to get any better. you know, the election is still a year away. ifjoe biden looks frail today, will he look even frailer in a year's time? it's an issue that the white house is worried about. they kind of dismissed it when i'd had conversations with them earlier this year. but i had a conversation just this week with somebody from the biden white house. and they do recognise that it's a problem. it's not a problem they can do a tonne about. they're going to try and make him look as vigorous as possible, have him in groups of people rather than standing a lot of the time alone. maybe that will make a difference. but the age question and the economy question, that's also where the democrats aren't doing well. inflation is still high in the united states. it

>> let's be clear, david axelrod was known individual, he said you know, there is a problem.talking about this for months and years and in fact i would like to remind people that in 2019 it was joe biden that signaled to the american people and to democrats that he would be a one-time president, people forget that, his whole thing was about running one time, being able to be a placeholder for trump. what happened is that this has been falling off way before the war, bernie sanders sat there and said they would be one of the most progressive presidents in our history, it was a joke, people said you know, they literally held their nose to vote for joe biden, now you have the muslim and arab communities that have fallen off and said clearly we will go against you, what you need michigan to win coming we have working-class voters all over this country, 500,000 people are on strike right now at this time, nurses, autoworkers, teachers, casino workers, it literally says that it is a problem. when the liberals, my fellow liberals or progressives or whatever they want to call themsel

david axelrod had a big warning. he said biden has a 50-50 shot, but not better than that, maybe worse. is this white house listening to david axelrod? >> i think they probably are, but doing it quietly and behind closed doors, and i think honestly, it's somewhat frustrating to democrats who are incredibly supportive of the president. when a poll comes out that causes deep concern for many, you know, i don't think the reaction should be like, stop it, you're bed wetters, you're panicking, enough, go away. the reaction should be, i think we learned a lot from this poll. this tells us exactly where to go, exactly what to do. we're staffer up on these states. we're focused on this. that makes more sense to me. >> i heard kamala harry, vice president harris say they had to earn their vote with the black community, with the young. they understand not to make the mistake that hillary clinton made in 2016 as ax pointed out, to assume they're running against trump they'll automatically get the votes. they have to work it, an

david axelrod supported obama.y statistics, many polling had barack obama losing to rudolph giuliani. i think that there is time to fix this. america is angry and disappointed, generally. coming out of covid. we have these wars going on. ukraine as well as israel. there is a lot about readiness and unsettled stuff going on. i think people are feeling it. again, the messenger and the message from the biden administration is a challenge. they tell us life is great, but if i don't feel great you won't convince me by continuing to plumb all the positive news of the economy. i'm not feeling it. gas prices are down by 30% i think, but they are still high because of inflation. there is type or bidenomics or whatever you want to call it to kick in, but we've got to file. they are not feeling strong about this economy right now. >> what do you make of it a year out? >> a year out is a long time. i think democrats are thinking that in the context that we can fix this. i think republican should see that is the time to strike

the david axelrod comments that kevin ended with, axelrod says advising. maybe it's time to get out. >> axelrod was a top adviser to you know who, barack obama. barack obama authorized the statement. he allowed axelrod to make a statement that obama wanted to make and didn't have enough courage to make out loud. >> when people hear that, they say axelrod is making a statement against biden. he spent a lot of the day trying to walk it back. >> obama was not a big fan of joe biden. he said, how me more times is joe biden going to say something stupid. >> now back to the polls. look at these numbers and trump leading in five. this is the five swing states. look at the numbers. nevada by 10, georgia plus 6, georgia plus 5, michigan plus 5. pennsylvania plus 4. all well outside the margin of error. if you are a democrat this is scary stuff. >> which is why they are panicking. i told you before two wards, kamala harris. if joe biden cannot fog up the mirror and make it to 2024 of will be kamala harris. the loyal part of the base are black voters. first primary s

. >> the white house dismisses the polls, notable democrats including former obama aid david axelrodshould be a wake-up call. axelrod telling the "new york times," quote: he thinks he can cheat nature here and it's really risky. they have a real problem if they're counting on trump to win it for them. i remember hillary doing that, too. polling also shows voters are increasingly worried about foreign policy. white house aides insist the president is determined to prevent hostility from the middle east from he is can late any further. >> we don't want to see this war escalate. we don't want to see it widen. we certainly don't believe it's in anybody's interest. certainly not the israeli people's interest to have a second front there in the north. >> tonight, congressional democrats remain split on if and how to help israel. vermont senator bernie sanders who is jewish says he wants conditions put on future aid. he says money for israel should be withheld quote unless there is a fundamental change in military and political positions. some house democrats are already threatening to bloc

i speak of former obama strategist david axelrod who suggested that president biden dropped out of thece. [cheering] control yourselves, you animals. yeah, he wants joe to reconsider since his numbers are in the [bleep]. he was responding to the poll we mentioned earlier that showed biden trailing trump in key battleground states including arizona, georgia, michigan, nevada and pennsylvania. he is sliding down more polls than a gay firefighter. i don't get that. enough. axelrod posted on x that the data will send trimmers of doubt through the democratic party and create legitimate concern about the pres president seeking reelection. when gavin newsom screamed that, he screamed pink you lord satan. celebrated by dipping his head in a vat of high-performance valvoline. axelrod concluded "what he needs to decide is whether that is wise, whether it's in his best interest of the country. unfortunate axelrod didn't specify which country. america, ukraine, or china. what say you, joe? >> joe: my same interests aligned with the contributing know what he's talking about. axelrod. i liked it bet

the fact that david axelrod said what he did we know president obama wants someone else as the democratic nominee. you add to what even the president said this weekend undercutting his own vice president, now president biden's own foreign policy with what has been said. all of that to say, harris, the biggest challenge for president biden is americans believe life is harder and it is his policies that have made it that way. that purchasing power is down. that $1 hundred gallon of gas is 160 because of inflation. the 120 gasoline bill is now up 20%. food bill is now up to $126 over 100. life is harder under biden and americans know it. >> harris: you mentioned the former obama senior advisor david axelrod is now questioning biden's re-election. i want to show everybody what he posted. only joe biden can make this decision. if he continues to run he will be the nominee of the democratic party. what he needs to decide whether it's wise and in his best interest or the country's. mark, that is harsh. is he right? >> look, i was pretty surprised by that post. i think he is right if joe biden co

. >> what you think of prominent democrats by david axelrod calling for biden to get out going entity> will believe in the tweeted soft will people think that he's perhaps too old right place where it was because the people think he stole and bubble wrapping joking about falls trump's trump, is leading biden six peter national polls in bc cbs, cnn, fox news, marketing and other voters are really unhappy with what biden did in the economy and the new york times posted eight out of ten said yes the comments were poor than elected within democrat insider to the washington post said but intimate and camping committee political malpractice enough internal polling what you think and doing bidenomics. julia: in terms of the economy, that's where i think the biden campaign and the president himself is back for your in terms of inflation look, if the inflation rise more stays is is when be a big problem for the present was on that for a while talking a lot implement and jobs were increasing the country this week but this response economic indicator unwanted most americans do not feel on a dail

now democrats like david axelrod saying these brutal polls, biden should drop out and politico reporting a democrat insider saying fire the person who said, yes, campaign on bidenomics. when you saw these polls, what was your reaction? >> exactly that. i mean, the democrats don't have a problem -- a democrat problem, they have a joe biden problem. joe biden is the least popular president since the end of world war ii not naming jimmy carter. consistently in a lot of polls and the reality is if that -- if you take him off the ballot, right now there's a new york times siena poll showing trump wins in all of the swing states exempt for wisconsin and take biden off the ballot and put trump against a general democrat, the general democrat wins by 12 in wisconsin and georgia 9, arizona 7, nevada 3, michigan 7. one of the letter writers into the new york times said the message of the poll is that it's time to take grandpa we love you, it's been a great grandfather but time to take away the car keys. elizabeth: that's interesting your analysis. let's go through it. biden -- trump is leading bid

so they can't bring themselves to clearly and unquickably condemn it. >> brian: david axelrod coming he. how is he doing it, telling him it's up to you to drop out, it's all on you, joe, is there something more to that than someone who is well-known and respected in political circles? is there something else? >> look, i think that's very serious, it's been my view for a long time that barack obama has been the person polling the strings behind joe biden. joe biden is clearly not up to it. i think obama is the one making the decision. and axelrod is obama's right hand. and we have seen for the last six months more and more warning signs that the democrats are getting scared. biden is not up to it. even with his diminished capacity they don't think he can do it. i said on my podcast three months ago "verdict with ted cruz" i predicted there was a very real chance that the democrats would jetson joe biden and parachute in michelle obama and do it at the convention next summer. i think the chances of that happening rises every day. >> brian: she has not been scrutinized. >> if biden gets

david axelrod said it a few weekartys ago and was criticizey people are saying this.es cre takeaways from the poi find most interesting. he's losing to trump. this was not happening three or fourg to months ago and his polg dataas. the president would say i could beat trumps .th i deserve the opportunity to go after, to have this rematch. the key issues that you mentioned.o ha i've always thought it was policy acuity more so than age acuity or mental acuity that really mattered and you touched on mic ageattek jagger and otheo of the same age but seem more youthful. these are serious things and got tomore figure out how to addres. if you take out trump and you have another republican against by them, they win. if you take on biden and go againt trump, they win. a democrat. the point that axelrod was making is one democrats willng i have to grapple with. much sooner rather than later.oo whatne president biden constantl of the last two weeks has pointed to,, the last two weeks, has been on we election day, the only datae have, polling data we have election day data and d

if this is co coming from david axelrod, this is from the very top. the mouthpiece for barack obama and valerie jared and they're running the democrat politics. this is important and means that barack obama knows they're in trouble. the latest poll numbers that show in the key swing states all of them but one show significant chance that i think it's like between 2 and 10 points that donald trump would beat joe biden so this is making them very, very nervous. of course joe biden is getting older and sicker and worse on the trail. that situation is not going to get better but they're in a pickle, the democrat party, they know that kamala harris can't win and they can't push her to the side because they're the identity politics party. they can't push her to the side because he's not electable in a general. you know, black vote is the black female vote in particular is so important and they'd take that to offense. it's very clear, the best candidate right now is for them is gavin newsom. he's the smartest, most likable, best looking, best hair, but they

>> well first i'm old enough to remember when david axelrod and i worked on obama's campaign. year out from election day. almost identical polls showing obama to mitt romney. i don't think it's a five alarm fire for democrats. there is a lot of precedent. once an incumbent gets on the campaign trail the numbers go up. i do think the democrats should take it seriously and a wake-up call. so far i have haven't seen the biden campaign out there making the case for why he should get another four years as aggressively as i would like to see. he has a lot of accomplishments to run on. his opponent is in court today. one of many court cases and legal cases he is a party to. i think it's concerning but i'm not panicking. >> dana: headlines over the weekend mary kathryn, "new york times" joe biden is in trouble. "wall street journal." "new york magazine" do democrats understand how bad the election is looking? marie makes the point to barack obama's numbers at this point weren't great. is joe biden a barack obama? one of the issues in the poll is over 70% of the people polled say joe b

consider dropping out of the race, such as former obama campaign strategist and white house official david axelrod. >> the issue is not for him is not political it is actual and you can see that in this poll and there's just a lot of concern about the age issue. it just has to ask himself is -- is this the best path? >> the cnn serving as brutal trump and among younger votes and independents, and the former president winning 23% of the black vote and 46% of the latino vote. and this gut punch only a quarter of americans say the 80-year-old biden has stamina and sharpness to serve effectsively as president no way biden is withdrawing from race and polls one year out a cloudy crystal ball, now trump has his own baggage with all of the indictments and civil fraud trial, and somehow helping him among republicans. meeting so riled up they're running more stories warning about the dangers of a second trump term it may be tough for most journalist to accept. but if the election were held today, donald trump would probably win. i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. what if joe biden can within a second

david axelrod of the obama administration.st this message and i think it's one if he is saying it, other democrats must feel this way as well. only joe biden can make this decision. if he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the democratic party. what he needs to decide is whether that is wise. whether it's in his best interest or the country's best interest. the message there he is questioning if the president right now should run again in 2024. the clock is ticking. >> steve: i think that's a no from him. >> brian: lawrence, what do you think? >> lawrence: it's happening. it's finally happening. they are realizing the polling nationally is coming out not enough to say the former president has a terrible temperament or he tweets bad. it's not going to fly american border is overrun and crime suspect. they don't feel like joe biden has been strong on the national stage. there was another poll that came out over the weekend. even in the "new york times" that said americans felt safer under trump, right? and they felt the

what do you make of them and what do you make of david axelrod is suggesting there? >> martha, good afternoon. it's a three alarm fire in the democratic circles right now. "the new york times". "the new york times" sienna poll is one poll but it's telling you a lot about these battleground states. they're likely voters and real alarm signs for the president. one is that 77% of them, of people polled think he's too old. 54% among his own supporters think he's too old. only 19% of the former president trump's supporters think he's too old. the black vote shifts 22% towards the former president. that is a massive shift in a racial demographic shift for a republican potentially running in this next race, if he's the nominee. and if you look at the breakdown of these specific swing states, the more diverse the state, the worse president biden does. that is not a good sign for this president at this time. we're still a year out and it's one poll but it's a big, big deal. >> martha: stunning. great points about the minority vote. when you have the republican candidate who i

eightieth birthday here at the white house tonight when the clock strikes 12 a.m., but here's what david axelrodf success are 50/50, but not better. a little worse, he believes that he can cheat nature, and it is indeed very risky, they will have a big problem if they expect trump to win the biden presidency for him, i remember hillary trying to do the same, a new nbc poll shows that octogenarian biden, who will soon turn 81 as the clock strikes midnight, does not have the necessary mental and physical health to be elected to a second term, 59% say , what does this cause... 15% say it is of moderate concern, whatever that means, 12% are a little concerned, 14% are not concerned, the same poll shows biden has the lowest approval rating of all during his presidency. president biden, what's his approval rating, we currently rate him at 40% and 57% disapprove of his job performance, that's the lowest rating president biden has ever had in our poll that's about... rating his job performance . look how things have changed since the beginning of this year, when he did well in the midterm elections, it

say they are deeply concerned, one calling it a five-alarm fire, and former top obama adviser david axelrod put it this way -- "if he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the democratic party what he needs to decide is whether that is wise, whether it's in his best interest or the country's." so high stakes here, lester >> one year to go. kristen, thanks very much >>> let's get now to the deepening israeli military campaign in gaza the death toll is rising now one month after hamas terrorists killed 1,400 israelis. chief foreign correspondent richard engel has late details. >> reporter: israeli tanks and troops have encircled gaza city and are expected to soon enter the urban areas. the hamas-run health ministry in gaza says the death toll has passed 10,000 and that could rise with an advance into gaza city, which is full of hamas tunnels, fighters and several hundred thousand palestinian civilians. secretary blinken is pushing israel to pause. but there's no sign that's coming. as anger in the middle east against the u.s., israel's main backer, is growing before blinken arrived in t

people have already begun to say this, even from the depths of the democratic party, for example, david axelrodin 2008 , denies any of his ambitions, but the day before , during a meeting with donors, biden again said the phrase that is here struck a lot of people and which they took note of, of course, he said that gavin newson could be whoever he wants, that is, well, in context it is perceived, very intriguing, but wouldn’t gavin newson want to become president the usa, especially since the alternative to biden in general is the closest reserve, who... to seriously claim a place in the oval office is doubtful, even here during the summit she rather appears as such a pale shadow of biden, although it would seem that hers is also a way out, yes , this is california, her home region, she was here and the prosecutors, in general, this is really such an important place for the democrats, but sizenpin is involved in business, he... the day before he met with the captains of american business, the signal from the chinese leader is clear, the chinese economy comes out of post-pandemic period, not ev

david axelrod, chief strategist for the obama campaigns, is questioning whether biden should stay in race, saying if he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the democratic party. what he needs to decide is whether that is wise, whether it's in his best interest or the country's. >> i think history will be kind to joe biden based on what he's done in his first in his term as president. and, you know, the question is, how will it end? will it end with the defeat of donald trump or not? that's what he has to consider, because how it ends is important. >> as for the fraud case against president trump, there is no jury. the judge will decide whether to ban trump from doing business in new york and whether to find him hundreds of millions of dollars. trump's daughter, ivanka testifies tomorrow. >> the captain of a scuba dive boat that caught fire, killing 34 people off california has been convicted of negligence. the fire in 2019 was the deadliest maritime disaster in recent us history. jerry boylan was the first to abandon ship when the fire broke out. the victims died in a bunk ro

they included david axelrod, valerie and almost all of bill clinton's former white house chief's. john podesta, leon was on the phone so is bill daley. anyway the point of this the reason it was secret was because obama did not want to be accused of measuring the drapes in the oval office before he was elected. but he knew how important it was to figure out who his white house chief would be. unlike some other presidents. and so bowles was on the phone call marvelously and unforgettably, the first thing he said was a listen, leave your chicago friends at home. they will only cause you grief. everyone on the call was from chicago practically. david axelrod, bill daley and all the rest he did not take that advice needless to say he appointed robert emanuel who was i think a good choice at the time for the first parts of the obama presidency. but my points here is once again presidents often learn the hard way you have to empower a white house chief. obama understood this i think from the beginning and that was one of the reasons i think, including had good choices of chiefs of staff
