nikki haley won't be there.lina governor and trump ambassador to the united nations is gearing up for a likely run of her own and she is now abandoning a prior promise to sit it out if the former president ran again. >> when you're looking at a run for president you look at two things. you first look at does the current situation push for new leadership? the second question is, am i that person that could be that new leader? yes, we need to go in a new direction. yes, i think i can be that leader. i think it's time for new generational change. i don't think you need to be 80 years old to be a leader in d.c. >> our great report its are back with us. you do not do that interview in that sort of homey setting a couple of days before donald trump comes to your state unless you're leaning way into running. >> i mean, i'm happy for her lean in. i think that's great. i do suspect that some of this has to do with the fact that trump's campaign so far has been a little bit underwhelming, right? it's not kind of out there

and nikki haley in studio. she'll join us. is she exploring 2024 run for president some suggesting, ask her live in five minutes. it does appear apple doesn't fall far from the tree. we have both the president and son facing criminal investigations no surprise there, father-son duo. they do everything together, finances, co-mingle, trips together. vehicles, credit cards together. hunter lived with pops well into his 40s. it is undeniable fact pair did business together. this of course all despied joe biden's many denials. even more evidence from the lap top of hell from hunter. 2017 e-mail. joe biden involving selling of american liquified gas to china. i have requested him to be available for a call to discuss purchase of the 5 million tons of gas. this is for china. no. 1 geo political faux. 2017, biden family, 5 million dollar interest free forgivable loan from chinese giant. would you all like a five million dollar interest-free forgivable loan? [applause] i think the word forgivable is con considered -- none of the bidens

nikki haley was asked about that.r response. >> i never had a conversation with jared, ivanka or the president about the vice presidentship and i'll tell you it's really sad when you're having to go out there and put lies and gossip to sell a book. >> i will say that i did talk to a white house official from that time who backs pompeo's version, not necessarily that nikki haley had talked about this but that jared and ivanka were definitely pushing her to replace pence. >> what pompeo is saying they wanted that basically. i think it's interesting that all of these former trump officials are fighting with each other to go up against the guy they used to work for. that, i think, is going to be very problematic for many of them because they've all said a lot of very favorable things about trump and they're going to have to figure out how to square that with a campaign that's going to have to take him down, frankly. >> i bet democrats are really enjoying watching all of this. >> there's no question, everyone tries to get

do you think nikki haley or desantis could beat trump? todd: you never know. not going to sit here and make a prediction. i can't even predict a giants- eagles game this weekend much less what happens two years from now but to your point we're both commenting on this that nikki haley is in. you can see it, and everything that ron desantis has done following the mid-terms shows that he's running. trump's in. this is going to be an absolutely wild and honestly, jam packed republican primary. on the democratic side, i don't know. lauren: that's my concern. let's say you have nikki haley and desantis and even glenn youngkin who those two as governors are making moves that signal they are ready to take on the national stage. do too many contenders benefit trump and make him the candidate stuart: he could knock them off one at a time. lauren: he's got that power. todd: if i had to pick one of the two i'd pick desantis over hayley but hayley as part of any ticket be extremely formidable. stuart: president biden says he has no regrets about how he and his team handled

least one of his possible challengers nikki haley to run. take a listen. >> so ron would not be governor if it wasn't for me. when i hear that he might run, i consider that very disloyal.

also, former un ambassador nikki haley is in studio and she'll join us and is she really exploring a twenty twenty four run for president , as some suggest? we will ask her live in about five minutes. but first tonight, it does doe appear that the apple doesn't really fall far from the tree. now, for the first time in have presidential history, we have ad both the president and his hero experience son facing criminal investigations. th surprise there. the father son duoer. everythi they seem to do everything together, finances their comingle d. t togethere trips together. they shared vehicles together, credit cards together. hunter even lived with pops well into his forties. it i and it is an undeniable fact that the pair did businessher. together. now, this, of course, all despite joe biden many denials and breaking tonight, we have even more evidence. from the laptop, from of hunter. look at this at a twentyunter. seventeen email now unearthed by the daily mail, they discussed a plan to loop in joe biden on a deal involving the selling of american liquefied natural gasji to china.

lee, quick thought on nikki haley. here's a look at favor ability.hose that say they're satisfied with nikki haley as a potential candidate. there's a look at the others, a quick thought before i let you go. >> it's a pretty good starting point. she's tipping her toe in the water trying to see how people will react to her. the question people will have, will they get nikki haley, the more conservative or the one that supported trump. she'll have to define that. >> martha: it's exciting when we hear definitive folks getting their name in the ring here. thanks, lee. good to talk to you. >> good to talk to you. >> martha: coming up, an update on damar hamlin as his team prepares to square off once again against the cincinnati bengals this weekend. now, remember, that during -- in that game, the last time that they played each other, that's when damar hamlin was injured. this will be an emotional coming together of these two teams. it's very important in terms of their dreams of making it to the super bowl. clay travis previews the huge football weekend

nikki haley, or ron desantis. nikki haley seems to be heading in the direction.esantis more quiet. you have mike pompeo. you have great potential candidates out there, a strong bench if you like compared to the democrats i believe. do you have any sense, i know that is an impossible question but, who do you like? >> well, let me first say this anyone who runs in this cycle, there will be more than donald trump. i think you will have two handfuls of races. eight, 10, 12 candidates and they're all going to run, ashley, on donald trump's ideas. they will run on america first. the ideas that were not that popular in the republican party before donald trump. they're going to come and say, listen i'm the policy of donald trump but i'm not donald trump. you can get the look-alike of former president trump or get the former president himself. it is going to be unique to see this thing play out but you know for me, i do listen, i'm a huge fan of president trump, the policies were amazings especially for rural wisconsin. we were doing better in rural wisconsin than any oth

nikki haley, 38, liz cheney 4%. in his remarks as he traveled, trump at the moment seems to be thinking a lot about desantis and nikki haley. >> nikki haley called me the other day to talk to me. i talked to her for a while. but i said, look, go boy your heart if you want to run. she's publicly stated i would never run my president. florida was closed for a long period of time. remember he closed the beaches and everything else. they're trying to rewrite history. >> that was a calm donald trump essentially telling them and anyone else thinking about getting in, remember what i did last time. >> yeah. i think one of the biggest untested challenges against donald trump for other republicans trying to weigh if they're going to get into this race is how do you come at him. do you come straight at him? do you ignore him? do you pretend he's not in this race? he's happy to discuss by name other candidates who are thinking about running, including disclosing nikki haley told me she's never run. this could be disloyal if sh

trump taking shots at ron desantis while nikki haley continues to tease a run of her own.re, the crowd small, about 400. you're in south carolina. give me a sense of what you see as the enthusiasm or lack thereof there, and not just from the crowds, but i also want to know about important elected officials whose support is important in primaries. >> reporter: the trump campaign is trying to do something a little different. this is the first time on the road since he made the announcement at mar-a-lago in the middle of november after the midterm elections. here in south carolina, it was under the dome of the south carolina statehouse. it wasn't a matter of trying to turn out thousands of folks for a typical rally we've been accustomed to. instead, it was to lock down support among elected officials and party activists. in new hampshire, the annual meeting of the new hampshire gop where he announced the outgoing new hampshire chairman was coming on to his campaign team as new hampshire senior advisor. here in south carolina, he was flanked by the likes of individuals who he

bill: president trump is the only one that announced, nikki haley might throw her name in the ring.e you feeling about the 2024 race right now if it's essentially going to be a biden versus trump rematch? >> i feel great about it. i would donate money and volunteer on donald trump's campaign if that would help him run against joe biden because i think joe biden will beat him just like he did the last time because he has list of accomplishments to run on. he can literal i will go downtown to town and say i helped do this and did that and a lot of ribbon cutting from the infrastructure bill and he can stand in front of school, hospital and say i helped make this better for you. donald trump i think as we have seen is just going to be airing grievances. i feel pretty confident about this. bill: ashley, democrats say they want to run against trump because biden beat him in 2020. is president trump the best chance republicans have or are you hoping somebody else jumps into the ring like desantis or nikki haley? >> we have obviously nikki, desantis, but i feel like we have other governors

trump told reporters on his flight here to south carolina that he had spoken with former governor nikki haleyrecent days as she informed him of her interest in potentially challenging him for the republican presidential nomination. trump said that he told haley to go by her heart, and he even encouraged her to proceed with a presidential campaign against him. of course we will see how that plays out, if she does decide to take that step. a lot of legislators are looking at nikki haley, but also south carolina senator tim scott to see if he also moves forward with a presidential campaign. trump also made a bit of news on that friglight to south carolin weighing in on the body camera footage that was released on the beating of tyre nichols saying he had watched it and it was terrible. the former president is currently en route to south carolina where he will unveil his leadership team and roll out a number of endorsements. this is really his first campaign event where he is trying to show strong support in a state that he won by ten percentage points in 2016. >> keep us posted on any developmen

mike emanuel meanwhile on if nikki haley just tripped up former president donald trump and did it just open the flood gates for more candidates to dive in. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. first to jacqui heinrich at the white house on the back and forth of infrastructure amid a backdrop of controversies. jacqui? >> hi, neil. with this new divided control of congress, passing new legislation is going to be much more difficult for the president than it was when democrats controlled both chambers. ahead of any 2024 announcement, which could come sometime after the state of the union, the president hasn't been laying out an agenda other than promoting bills that he signed in to law like he did in baltimore, touting the trillion dollar infrastructure law. he talked about a tunnel that would be replaced and completed about a decade from now. it will have up to four tracks total allowing trains there to move at more than 100 miles an hour. >> this is 150-year-old tunnel. you wonder how in the hell it's still standing. we're going to invest over $4 billion to replace the existing baltimor

generation to come in and step up and start fixing things. >> so daniel, what does this tell you about nikki haley. but more importantly, what does this tell you about the perceived strength of donald trump? >> it tells us all that haley is extremely interested in running. the clip that you just played included some of the most common code words for candidates who are trying to signal that they're about to run for president. and at the same time, it also shows that haley, who wanted to tamp down questions about how interested she was about running for president when it seemed that donald trump was in a stronger position in the republican party, has now changed course. it is clear at this point that she's getting impatient, that she's among the number of republicans who are starting to look at being the first through the door as it were and run for president even if donald trump is running now. and, look, frankly, in the last presidential election, that would be unheard of. but there is a sense within the republican party that donald trump is not as powerful, not as locked in as a leader as he once

he said that nikki haley had called him and said that she was thinking about a run, and he said to go it is an indication of how he views the potential rivals, kate. >> at least at this moment, kate. and now, joining me is the co-anchor of "state of the union" dana bash. i saw some reporting -- good to see you -- and it is mccarthy sitting down with biden is a win for him, and good spin or real reality, and what do you see in the meeting come wednesday? >> this is one of those times where it is a rare times in washington where the spin and the reality are the same thing, because it is important for the new speaker to be able to sit down with the president. i know it might sound counter intuitive since so much of the republican conference, and they have their feet down and they are saying that we won't budge, and they are entrenched, but when it is coming to this particular issue of the debt ceiling, they also realize at least enough of them realize it is not an option. this needs to be dealt with in some shape or form or the economy is going to be in very, very big trouble. so to fact

of course, former governor nikki haley, and ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley, and tim scott -- senator tim scott -- are both considering, it is reported, a run for the gop nomination, both from south carolina. why is president trump coming to south carolina? >> they're both from my district, actually. so i sit behind tim in church. and nikki -- nikki lives in the district, too. they both live in the district. i'm close with both of them. and what, to me, as a republican, is so exciting is the leadership that's coming out of the state of south carolina. have two people from south carolina, both in my district, be potential folks that are running for president in 2024, it's really an exciting time to be a republican. >> so why is president trump coming to south carolina? >> well, it's first in the south. i mean, once you get through iowa and new hampshire, it's south carolina. and, historically, with the exception -- with only one or two exceptions over the last few decades, the republican that wins south carolina goes on to become the nominee. that

that would be fantastic. >> why not tim scott or nikki haley?e love tim scott and nikki haley, but he has been proven to be the best president we've ever had besides ronald reagan. >> reporter: and get this, we're talking about the first republican presidential primary debate taking place i'm told in just about six months' time. this is all going to be ramping up over the next weeks and months quite quickly. >> shaq, you're in new hampshire, that's the first in the nation primary. how are voters feeling about their options for 2024, and what are their thoughts about democrats trying to change the order of the primary season? >> reporter: based on my conversations, they're still trying to wait and see what those options will be and what that primary calendar will ultimately looking like. national democrats, president biden, they're trying to remove that first in the nation status. instead having south carolina go first in their calendar and then having new hampshire go a couple of days later paired with nevada. when you talk to democrats in the s

. >> that was former trump even ambassador nikki haley kind of sort of maybe saying that she will runtively challenging her former boss, who is the only announced republican candidate in 2024, that is evidence that donald trump's hold over the gop will finally be starting to slip, maybe. today, but the new york times and washington post are out what new stories about trump's growing rift with the evangelical movement that one supported him. that while an influential texas pastor told the washington post this week, the most conservative evangelicals i know are in favor of ron desantis for president. and inside the republican party itself, a war has broken out between the current trump backed leadership and conservatives looking for a new direction. rnc chair rona mcdaniel who has trump's backing, is facing an aggressive challenge from his job of a former trump lawyer who has the backing of die hard conservatives, including tucker carlson and matt gaetz. it appears that the coalition trump cultivated and road to power no longer seems as tethered to him as the 2024 campaign season gets u

>> keep an eye to some degree and nikki. haleyonly rain from nikki haley, who i respect. for if she runs away from trump. which is proven a capability to do. but at times gone back. to him, again next time on the debate stage can be sitting there and slack -- ministration. you need to say how you will be different, what your measures are. >> that's the big problem all these candidates have right now. you either need to be all and with donald trump, you need to be a complete sick -- to win the base over. or even if you explore running as we've seen. you're disloyal., so all these wannabe candidates are sitting around having a really tough time making decisions. i've lived that life of what lane you want to pick. trust me, you can pick the madeleine. >> we gotta take a quick break. harry's gonna go grab some. numbers -- key meeting on the calendar between house speaker mccarthy president mine in the debt limit. as fears grow than agreement might not be reached to avoid the nation's first ever default. the latest from capitol hill, n

nikki haley, mike pompeo, mike pence, all of whom served in donald trump's administration, are publicly courting speculation about 2024 runs. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell this week called the 2024 presidential election a wide open race. >> look, let me just say this about the 2024 election, it will be wide open. there will be a lot of competition, and i hope we nominate someone who can win in 24. and so, the voters in the primaries are going to make that decision without any assistance for me. they don't need any advice for me on how to vote, but i will say it's gonna be a wide open race. >> so some republicans at least are reading the room a trump because according to a recent quinnipiac poll, deliverability among voters has jumped to its lowest level since march of 2015. or are some republican support looking at the multitude of legal challenges, criminal investigation by the department of justice, by the fulton county district attorney's office in georgia, civil lawsuits from the general six attack on the capitol, a civil lawsuit from e. jean carroll who's accused him of ra

>> keep an eye to some degree on nikki haley, the only lane for nikki haley is if she runs away from capability to do but at times has gone back to him. you can't be sitting hear and flaking for what you did in his administration, you have to talk about what your forward looking vision is. >> that's the big problem all these candidates have right now. you either have to be all in with trump, up to be a complete sycophant for him to win the base over, or if you even explore running you're disloyal. all these want to be candidates are sitting around having a really tough time making a decision, i've lived that life, of what lane you want to pick. you can't pick the middle lane. >> we've got to take a quick break. harry's going to crunch some more numbers. >> good-bye, everybody. >> news of a key meeting on the calendar between house speaker mccarthy and president biden on america's debt limit, as fears grow that an agreement might not be reached to avoid the nation's first ever default. the latest from capitol hill next. will be big. try the new toasted baguettes s from paner. one doll

i would like to see a trump/desantis ticket. >> why not tim scott or nikki haley?th anyone else? tim scott would be a great vice president, however. >> what would be your message to nikki haley right now? >> work hard and campaign well. that's all i'm commenting. >> 2024 may not be her year, though? >> no. i think she needs to wait another four years. >> it would be the donald. >> there's others considering even tim scott and nikki haley. >> i like tim scott, but i would vote for donald over tim. >> what about nikki haley? >> she wouldn't be as high as tim. i've met tim scott before. i like him. nikki haley, i don't think she's prepared for that level of position. >> desantis? >> that's an interesting question that it would be hard to vote against. what would be ideal is donald/desantis ticket. that would be fantastic. >> reporter: south carolina picks presidents. they picked him in 2016 and they picked joe biden in 2020. he hopes they pick him again here about a year from now in 2024. six months from now we should anticipate the first republican presidential prima

bret baier has a big interview with nikki haley tonight and he asked this: >> bret: you said are a thed the tea leaves in your words. we are in the new year. how are these tea leaves looking? are you going to run for president? >> dana: you are going to want to hear her answer to that okay. i'm going to go first. they had cake before. now we have meatballs and pasta and it is because roseanne that and elena scott have a new cookbook out it is called meatballs mangia and memories. a restaurant fresco by. >> dana: as you know from 23 and me i'm only 2% italian. i couldn't say that meatballs here and pasta. a great cookbook and great restaurant. highly recommend. >> greg: i think mangia is a surgery. >> judge jeanine: that guy blow a horn? [laughter] >> dana: all right, jesse. >> jesse: want to see a stupid couple? they crawled into dog creates crates to seeif it would be fund locked in the dog crates. not only the wife but the husband, too. crawled in both. we this to scooch over and rescue each other and help each other get out. what a bunch of i had i don't say em and i would are in do

netflix zoom, big layoffs at google, no regrets from the president, and nikki haley looks like she's's start with the wildly positive report from netflix. over 7 million new subscribers. that exceeded their own projections. i wonder if the harry and meghan special had anything to do with it.

nikki haley, tim scott talks about a run. >> he is frontrunner into 2024. but not a lock.t take anything for granted. in south carolina, alone you have a former governor nick i hnikki haily and nikki haley and tim scott. elizabeth: we're finding more schools in virginia held back students scholarship merit awards, parents are upset about the new thing about punishing kids who work hard. calling that fairness, nicole niely is coming up on the "the evening edit." we have a new show. 6 p.m., the bottom line with our friends dagen mcdowell and sean duffy. what do you have coming up. >> liz, our debut. that was shrill. i promise not to do that sean duffy, our first day of the bottom line. >> we have a great show, we have senatorred ted cruz, governor kristi noem, john rich and jimmy failla live in person on set with us,. >> this guy too. >> and her. >> we'll be right back. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. for back pain, i've always been a take two and call in the morning guy. but my new doctor recommended salonpas. w

nikki haley with bret baier last night. >> when you look at a run for president you first look at doesurrent situation push for new leadership? the second question is am i that person that could be that new leader? yes, we need to go in a new direction. can i be that leader? yeah? >> do i think i could be that leader? yes. we'll work through things and figure it out. i never lost a race. i won't lose now but stay tuned. >> dana: we're staying tuned. what are you watching as she comes on the scene? >> it sounds like she is running from the interview she gave with bret baier. we'll wait and see. she is someone who as she said never lost a race. she won her first campaign in south carolina coming from behind as an underdog. she would start out as an underdog if she gets into the presidential campaign. she is someone who -- she is an optimist and someone focusing on the governing record in south carolina for two terms as governor. the mood of the republican party lately has been confrontational. they like trump because he is a fighter. desantis has the same image and might get into the pre

let's say nikki haley and sununu and others run. that is certainly jumbling the picture.oes that mean we don't care about new hampshire because sununu is a potential candidate? the constellation of candidates interplays with the calendar. stating that we think are important may not be on how the media chooses to treat a victory in a specific state. >> neil: i'm wondering whether we have a tired trump effect. it's very different than it was eight years ago. by then what would be eight years prior. difference than 2020. there's been a lot of events that happened since that have taken some of the shine off of a trump candidacy. obviously the best sign that that has affected these candidates are running whether he's running or not. what do you make of that? >> i think you're right at both levels, neil. there's a fatigue with trump. that's just the way it goes. you're not the fresh face. you're not the ultimate sort of example of the mood of the time. you're a little tired. yesterday's news. and on the other side, you have a lot of candidates that are hot rights now. 10, 15 ye

. >> nikki haley called to talk to me, and i said, go by your heart to run.s publicly said that i would not run against my president, and he was a great president. and remember, that florida was close for a while, and closed the beaches, and they are trying to rewrite history. >> him is talking about desantis getting credit for keeping florida open. is he worried about the rivals within his own party? >> well, sure. he understands that he's in a different political position than he has been in the past. he understands that he is twice impeached former president, one that just had a case laid out to american people about his role inciting an insurrection, and the 2022 mid-term campaign performance has caused a lot of questions within the party, and whether or not stick with the trump is to insure rick tri. but looking at that video, you can see how he treats the potential rivals as potentially does not think that nikki haley is as key as desantis, and so he said he told her to run if she wants to run, and he told desantis that debate over the beach, and that i

nikki haley, a strong voice in the u.n. for the american first agenda.cott, right? mike vince, maybe the most decent guy to ever serve in the government, all talking about running for president. here's why i am with trump. i know the downside of trump but let me tell you about the upside of trump. there are no trump policies without donald trump. you know why nato gave $431 billion in defense spending increase? because they thought trump really moment when it he said he was going to pull out. you know why the capital -- we moved the embassy to the united states to jerusalem? every president before trump said i will do it but then all the smart people said it would create world war ii. trump said i said i would do it, i would do it. he's responsible for securing the border through his personal will. when he put tariffs on chinese products, it scared the crap out of mexico and they said, yes, beal glad to give you 28,000 troops. we'll be glad to keep people in mexico because he thought trump, they thought trump would put tariffs on mexican policies. there

loyalties very important. >> he also said referring to nikki haley that he had received a phone callarolina candidates. he said that he urged her to also run. this could be become a crowded field if these number of candidates who are considering jumping in for donald trump he's making the case that they had four years of policies that republicans should find him worthy of a second term for. in the words of lindsey graham, he said there are many good candidates, republican candidates out there. there is only one donald trump. donald trump policies don't exist that donald trump. we are about one year away now from when the caucuses, and new hampshire primary and the south carolina primarily ultimately take place. this was a big weekend for donald trump to kick off the 2024 campaign on the republican side. it's a matter of who else jumps into the race, richard. >> vaughn, he does like to mix up. he feels he does better in a crowd, certainly. like, come on everybody, let's go. vaughn hillyard, as always, thank you, nbc news calls correspondent reporting on the trump campaign. thank you.

we'll see what happens with nikki haley.she won't be number two but a lot of people can expect she could be a number two in the upcoming cycle. >> indeed. maria: in 2024, byron. yeah. all right, we will leave it there. great to catch up with you, byron. thanks. >> thank you, maria. maria: byron york joining us. all right. we'll see you soon. we'll be right back. hi. i'm charlie kirk. i started turning point usa to do the work to help save america. we are america's fastest growing conservative movement. right now, the world economic forum and global elites are planning the great reset. their sinister plan to destroy our economy and redefine your freedoms. that's why i want to send you my exclusive book, the american response to the great reset for a gift of any amount. this book takes you behind closed doors to reveal their radical agenda and arms you to fight back for the future of our beautiful country. join the growing number of concerned americans who are already standing up by calling our special hotline or go to tpusa.c

. >>> former ambassador nikki haley says it's time for a new generation to lead. guess who she has in mind for 2024? >>> good morning. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. happy friday, everybody. i'm christine romans. president biden saying he has no regrets over the way the white house handled the discovery of classified documents at his private think tank office and delaware home. >> as we found -- we found a handful of documents were failed -- were filed in the wrong place. we immediately turned them over to the archives and the justice department. we're fully cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. >> the president's first remarks in a week on the classified document discovery. cnn's jasmine wright live in washington this friday morning for us. jasmine, mr. biden spent about 30 seconds addressing the documents, the very end of the comments on storm recovery. what is their strategy? >> reporter: the strategy has been in place for the last week, christine, to talk about it but not and get into the specifics he

you've got nikki haley looking like she's going to run. pence, and then ron desantis, republican fundraiser told me this week that the day he announces, the money that's going to come in from ron desantis from the rich donor class of the republican party is just going to be tremendous. and so that at least at a minimum, a field of five, and that helps donald trump because it splinters the vote just enough that probably gives him the edge in a primary fight. >> so rev, we talk and a lot of people talk about the mistakes donald trump has made, how donald trump's best days are behind him, he's picking fights with the pro life community, he's picking fights with the evangelicals, and ron desantis, ron desantis, ron desantis, but as we were talking about last night on the show, distal may not be able to handle, you talk about james brown and can you handle the big stage, let's talk about boxing. this is usually one on one. we saw what trump did to marco rubio. we saw what trump did to rand paul. we saw what trump did to jeb bush. one on one, he

i suspect whether it's nikki haley or desantis, they will have to draw a hard contrast against donald him by saying you're a really good president. people just don't like you or we don't like the way you are conducting yourself. i don't think that's a winning message at all. these people will have to come at him really hard, very aggressively and explain why trump should be fired before they're hired. so i think that's really the key to this thing, but i don't think anybody wants to leave first. these guys will wait a little before they jump in. >> you are so right. although nikki haley called him, a reporter suggested, called him and said she has interests of potentially joining the race. and he told reporters that he told her, follow your heart. come on in, you know, if you want. but when it comes to ron desantis, it is a different story and trump took some swipes on his potential republican challenger there. take a listen. >> ron would not be governor if it wasn't for me. that's okay. number one, he wouldn't have got the nomination. and number two, he wouldn't have beaten his democ

but, i mean, nikki haley, has anybody been more back and forth on donald trump than nikki haley, she'sut. i'm done with him. i'm sorry, i apologize, not exactly a great resume for someone to say i am a strong and decisive leader. >> so, yes, nikki haley seems to flip-flop on donald trump. you can't really tell where she stands or if she's going to hold her position. susan page, do you think the evangelical community has finally found religion on donald trump? >> it's possible, but, you know, you could argue that donald trump has given them what they most wanted, which was a supreme court that would overturn roe v. wade. and he will always deserve this their view credit for that, but he was never a natural cultural fit with the evangelical community. ron desantis, mike pence, nikki haley, all of them are kind of a more natural fit in terms of their, you know, lifestyle and life views and culture, so we'll see. the evangelicals, i think, can argue that it's a new day because they got the thing they had worked for for decades, and they have that in their pocket now. >> this is true. >> it

yes. >> former united nations ambassador nikki haley getting as close as any republican to challenginge 2024 nomination. hali says she is still considering an official announcement putting her among former vice president mike pence and former secretary of state mike pompeo. >> what's your timeline. >> sometime in the spring. >> to capture the g.o.p. nomination former trump officials will have to separate themselves from each other and their former boss. >> i don't think you need to be 80 years old to go be a leader in d.c. >> and now some infighting among these republicans. pompeo is releasing a book next week. if there it he accuses hali of scheming with ivanka trump and jared kushner to replace then vice president mike pence on the 2020 ticket. on "special report," hali denied it. >> mike pence is my friend. there's no truth to it and mike even says in his book it's just gossip. >> a source close to pence responded to hali's alleged maneuvering with three letters lol. pence has been on his own book tour meeting with influential pastors at mega churches, leaders faith movement who lar

i mean, you mentioned nikki haley.but that hasn't stopped others from her state, of course, as we just talked about, from supporting trump already in his re-election bid. former vice president mike pence, of course, a number of stories about him courting different parts of the republican base. especially those conservative evangelical folks and anti-abortion folks but the classified documents situation i think calls into question a lot of people's ambitions in '24, because of a lot of questions that need to be answered before those things can be addressed publicly. >> certainly true and not just that for trump. he's facing legal peril on all sorts of fronts. georgia, january 6th and so on. so we'll see once this new fountain he may have found. >>> thanks to all of you for getting up "way too early" on this wednesday morning. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> our staff reviewed all of the materials in our office, and in our residence to ensure that there were no classified materials that -- that left the white house,
