there is our little friend, her name is marianne williamson. she is very good. beggars can't be choosers. we only have three candidates running am a few debatend -- and a few debates to figure out who these people are. democrats can't act like it is decided. people can't think that joe biden will be the only winner until the primary is over. do you remember 1968? there was a big, whole to do about those primaries. we have a right as people that have primaries. people should not get too cocky. . things could happen. there could be a president sitting in jail, commanding from his bunk bed. host: we are focusing on democrats and independents in this first hour. if you -- the numbers are (202) 748-8000, if you support joe biden. if there is another candidate of your choosing, (202) 748-8001. for those who are unsure, it is (202) 748-8002. we are joined by alex thompson with axios. he is a national politics correspondent, joining us to talk about campaign 2024. good morning, alice tom -- alex thompson. we saw your reporting this morning, writing about the president's

how contentious this campaign is for other candidates, robert kennedy junior, cornell west, marianne williamson and what that might do as far as taking support away from him? guest: i don't think there is a huge amount of concern. a covert republicans and not democrats so i'm not the best placed to answer that. we do see contraction on some of the cases perhaps. bitcoin, the founder, those who appeal or are interested in the anti-vax position. but beyond that, i don't think they would pose a major challenge to biden. host: another republican related question. the republican party in florida asking for a loyalty pledge for those who are interested. can you explain what is being asked of these candidates and what response there is? guest: sure. it is also to ask who the republican nominee will be. that is important. this is an important step. there is been ambiguity in terms of how the candidates have responded and they have sidestepped the question. but that will be important. you can expect candidates to be asked about that. host: i suppose you ask all of this about former president trump, his

marianne williamson and rfk, jr., and joe biden would have to think on his feet?t would be an absolutely melee. >> rachel: rfk, jr., we had a discussion last night and has an article out jfk, jr. tries to play the -- it's great he's introducing new topics as you talk about, definitely interesting, his position on war, all of that. but he also, she says, is the ultimate nepo baby, many, including his environmental radicalism is very much about the elites. it very much comes from where he came from in terms of what he cares about that he's very anti-fossil fuels and you cannot be a pro worker, pro working class candidate and not care about american energy and keeping it as affordable as possible for the working class. >> joey: up until the past week where he shows the left leaning and in my opinion radical views, almost as much a threat, and people will take it the wrong way, almost siphoning as much from the populus camp of donald trump as joe biden is. and people said hey, if it's rfk or biden, you know, i'm rfk. but i also saw people say, move over towards rfk fr

and marianne williamson and maybe fear gavin newsom. matter who the president would primary against is my question to you. >> i'm not sure. i don't think rfk, jr. or marianne has the votes to win but there could be a lot of embarrassing gaffes and i think that's what they want to avoid. the problem is the longer they delay it, the longer they prevent, you know, a sitting politician like gavin newsom from getting in the race, if the president stumbles and has to pull out it's going to be kamala harris who is even less popular than he is. so, i think they have a real dilemma. as i say, what they are doing now, no primaries, may be good for president biden, but i don't think it's good for his party. >> bryan: gavin newsom says he's not running but sure looks like it. touring red states in the west, his second time doing that. do you think he ends up getting in this race? >> i do, or think someone like him. i think he's waiting for an opportunity which will be some misstep by joe biden to get in. i mean, he's all but running a campaign, goin

and marianne williamson you get about 25%.en to be president. you get another 10%. you get 64%, 65%, who want biden to be the nominee. so if biden can keep a lid on that opposition, then he'll be absolutely fine. what could happen, if a legitimate candidate, a more mainstream democrat -- because both kennedy and williamson are really fringe candidates. if an actual mainstream candidate emerged, then said, look, somebody has to say it, the president is too old to be president. we see him slowing down every day. the majorities of people, including democrats, believe that he does not have the mental or physical strength to continue as president. if you got such a challenge, it's really hard to predict where things would go in the democratic party. >> panelists, have an awesome independence day. >> you too. >> thank you. >> in tonight's spiced handle special report salute" ahead of independence day, we welcome an organization that rescues americans and allies in war-torn environments. tim, welcome. >> thank you for having me. i ap

even on democratic ticket i mean president biden is, you've got rfk, jr., making noise marianne williamson those two but then discussion about a third-party candidate, actually chris christie last week i asked would you consider being a third-party candidate he said absolutely not i don't want to be the spoiler but it could happen. >> well, look. i don't see marianne williamson or kennedy take on joe biden i think he has a firm hand, my wife -- deferred comment on third-party candidate other than say right now both candidates are underwater, an need to if they don't want a third-party candidate need to improve, their ratings in the middle of the he electorate of this country. >> quick -- give you last word. >> i think depends ho candidate is third party i think third party likely to hurt joe biden more than he hurts donald trump, donald trump polling numbers a pretty solid secure base, no matter what papz so depending, on who that third-party candidate is i think it is likely, to pull more from joe biden than donald trump approximately we will see. anything can happen. cheryl: anything can

marianne williamson is at 10%. kennedy 17%. i think the president absolutely should be on the debate stage. the american people deserve that. but forget a campaign. he needs to prove he has the mental cognition to run this country. look, this is part and parcel for his playbook and why he ducks debates and why he doesn't do interviews. it is why he forgets where he is at sometimes and bum bells through speeches. most people wouldn't hire this person to do their taxes let alone run the world's largest super power. so he absolutely should debate. the democrats should be open to that. the american people deserve that. >> kevin, does the president need to combat the perception he will run another campaign in the basement? does he need to get out and disprove that? >> rich, i think the president is already doing that. he announced investing in america tour touring 20 plus states over the next couple days and weeks. talking about the infrastructure bill. no incumbent president has ever debated in a primary situation. i remember donal

kennedy and marianne williamson.ing of the democratic national committee. the committee and his campaign are working hand in hand in all of their efforts when it comes to advertisements, fund-raising as wl. and so far, we haven't seen any inkling or suggestion that there would be any democratic primary debates. this all comes as thereby questions about the enthusiasm that president biden will have in this race. when he entered the race, it was about half of democrats who said that they did want him to run for re-election. but the president and his team believe that he has an argument to make, believe he has a case to make, especially as they've been pushing this bidenomics in recent weeks. and they believe that the progress that has been made during his administration will ultimately counter some of the questions that people might have, for instance, about the president's age. so we will closely be watching whether there are any other challengers who might enter into the race, but the biden and then they have to face

marianne williamson, winning about a quarter of that democratic vote, so do not compete and to get ahead. headline that you're not even contesting the first in the nation primary. it's not a good look for the white house, and it could do some symbolic damage as these concerns build up closer to the campaign. you think about this and this could all backfire on them. and then you have to ask yourself. did you think it through? and it it may be a clear example where they did not last comment on that. yeah yeah, i mean, look, the democrats had a desire to they pushed south carolina to the front of the line. they wanted to have a state that gave joe biden the nomination in 2020. they wanted a state with a lot more diversity to be representative of the party. but look, whenever you kind of make a big decision that disrupts the state of play, they're going to be a lot of angry democrats is going to be a lot of people that lose out as a result, and new hampshire is not taking this lying down. i think something a little bit more significant problem for this campaign might be bebe h factor. a new

and along with marianne williamson.he vice president, for many democrats, she would be the backup. and every, i think pretty much every administration, you would think the vp might go into the race if the current president decides not to go all the way. kamala harris terrible, no good, very bad week is rolling on, critics roasting her for railing against absolutely unacceptable airport bathrooms, no mention of other big crisis facing america, like the real ones like border mess, danger with fentanyl and cartels running it. she's supposed to be working to solve that, she is the border czar. nothing on the crime surge, particularly in blue cities or inflation still above the fed's target. she did take time to explain this tricky concept. >> transportation is fundamentally about making sure people have the ability to get where they need to go, it is that basic. >> harris: users lit up social media. here it goes. genius level commentary. first grade commentary and one trip on sand bag away from this being our president. >>

marianne williamson, opera's spiritual advisor, i don't think she will get it over the line.are forgetting the fact that biden's own vice president harris is not even part of the conversation because she is very vulnerable and unpopular. who would it be? someone he either beat in 2020? i don't know. but trump is the weakest person he has got. that is who democrats are sincerely hoping will be the nominee and likely will be. >> dr. nicole, i think they also thought he was particularly weak in 2016. he wasn't taken seriously. there has always been an underestimation of him. the difference now, i think, though, is that joe biden hid in the basement. we were not aware necessarily of his cognitive situation. we now have seen that every day at least when he is out and about. do you think that is a factor that americans are looking at with the president, which he literally was hidden away from us? i don't think that will. this time. i think the american people are concerned about the democrats and a majority that don't want him to run again. will that be a factor? >> tammy, listen,

. >> laura: i forgot marianne williamson. thank you. >> yeah. i think that could go up as biden's numbers continue to erode as i think is at least possible. look, i've known cornell west since college. we disagree about everything. but he is a smart guy. he's an articulate guy. his world view is not close to mine or that of many, many people. but for a small segment of the democratic left, they will find him compelling, particularly as joe biden remains an unpopular president. and we go back to 2000 and 2016 when third-party left-wing candidates, nader and then the green party probably played a role in hillary clinton ton. >> laura: ross perot, too. do you think biden is going to have to make some alliance with these candidates? can he? i don't see how he can make one with rfk jr. well what is he going to make him hhs secretary? i don't think so. but maybe with cornell west. >> that's something the biden administration's been trying to do. remember he ran as a moderate and a peace maker to return normalcy but his white house has pushed more of t

. >> marianne williamson dismissed out of hand. cornell west, where he might fit in. rfk jr. name recognition, though some of his views are, frankly, out of control and wrong. >> they don't acknowledge him. there's this point, the more people that hear about his views, the more unpalatable he will be to democratic voters. the issue is, if you look at the 2012 election, barack obama got 81% of the vote when he faced really no crediblechallenger in new hampshire. it'll be an uncomfortable situation no matter what, as rfk will get double digit margins in the low turnout primaries in the cycle. >> appreciate the reporting as always. nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli. thank you very much. of course, we'll have coverage on the president's trip to south carolina later today. >>> thanks to all of you for getting up "way too early" with us on this thursday morning.

marianne williamson is polling 10%. of republicans would kill for that number. >> she was almost in double digits. there's an understanding on the democratic party that joe biden doesn't look too good. >> it's very interesting to me when you look back in history. three people have challenged incumbent democrat presidents in modern history. they're all named kennedy. bobby kennedy challenged l.b.j. right before he was assassinated. ted kennedy challenged carter. now you have robert kennedy jr. challenging joe biden. so it's a very interesting dynamic that is going on here. he putting together this very interesting combination of people. he talks about being out at historic landmarks out in national parks. he said i'm speaking and these hells angels bikers showing up to cheer me on. what do you think of this? >> he's not aligned with anyone when it comes to talking points. the kinds of things -- he's an independent thinker that worries both parties. they don't know where to codify him, where to put him. where he would end

i know marianne williamson and rfk jr. want to debate. what do you think about that?> i understand why he doesn't want to do it. i truly understand, but they are, you know, there's a big with difference although in the case of rfk, i've seen polls where he's at 20%. that's not bad. but i understand why he doesn't want to do it. look, when you're running for office and you have in his case a 30 or 40-point lead, why would he do it people are going to say, well, he can't do it. i actually think he can't do it. i don't think he's capable of doing it. but why would he do it especially because of that? why would he do it? if he's got a 30 or 40-point lead, which is what he's got, i mean, i don't think rfk expects that he's going to debate. ing he's a very smart guy, by the way. i don't think he expects to be debating widen. maria: -- biden. maria: you've spent time with him, is he a formidable competitor? >> he's a very smart person, yeah. i know a lot of members of that family, and a very smart guy. he's hit a little bit of a nerve, i think he really has. a lot of democra

you've never seen a sitting president have as weak a field of potential opponents and marianne williamsonbert f. kennedy, and the endorsements from the building trades and climate activists and reproductive activists as broadly as i've ever seen in my life is endorsing president biden because of what he's gotten done. >> rfk jr. is kind of a clown show. a lot of people sort of see that. i don't think it's a real threat, but dean philips is a pretty serious member of congress, maybe unknown, he's sitting on the ballot in new hampshire. it doesn't have you nervous? >> it doesn't have me nervous, frankly. president biden has the strongest record of legislative accomplishment since lbj, and you're beginning to see the impact. 13 million companies, 800,000 good manufacturing jobs, 35,000 infrastructure out there in the country. dean phillips can't ite anything like that. president biden has made it stronger on the world stage and it showed his agility and his capabilities and the strength with which he's helped rally nato to the defense of ukraine and the strength with which he's delivered on

marianne williamson ?wi you see cornell west dc,lliacorl joe manchin. t do you see any real threat to joe biden? what about gavin newsom? n been doing a lot of campaigning recently. i haewhe'sd a long interview with him. he says he's supporting joe. however, i believe that he's probably getting close to 150,000 calls a week telling him he needs to get in. >> do you agree with that? teon gavin newsom.th that? >> i think voters are smarternes than the democratic leaderdemocr giving them credit for. they recognize that gavin newsom has shown throughin his record his failed record in california would be just a younged r of the biden administration's same insanepoli policies that look out for their own self-serving interest ts and the best interests of the american people and our country. i think poll poll shows thatl sw voters in this country are looking for someonn e other thad joe biden and his failed policies to lead this. consi and so absolutely, they should consider all the options before them. der al would you ever consider g in if there were a way fo

democrats who were once ridiculed, mocked by their own party, including robert kennedy, junior marianne williamson, cornell west. well, they're all gaining what has serious tractioiningn n the primary polls. and if i had to make a bet, d that california governor gavin newsom is receiving an endless stream of texts. he wouldn't answer that question. when i interviewed begging him to enter this race. >> take a look. how many times is your phone pinging a day? people saying you need to get in this races r because they age with me that he's not up to the job. >> i would say i see whereee whe you're going with that. i'm askingre are no. >> and i'm not answering. i'm not answering. i think that's an answer. i anyway, how embarrassing for joe biden, his fellow democrats . they are ready to send him out to pasture, bu readyt it's not t his steep cognitive decline. well, put it simply. joe biden is slimy. his family's access peddling and sketchy farm business deals are a massive, real problem that we're going to learn a lot more next week. his refusan morel to recognize his own four-year-old granddaughter,
