and then pbs news hour's, laura lopez. hello, one and all. i just want to pick up where jeff left off, specifically on what donald trump is trying to do to nikki haley to finish off this primary in new hampshire. he's not only accusing her of being a democrat or an independent or trying to lure those voters -- which, by the way, she can't get democrats to vote in new hampshire. that's not the way it works. but she can get independents to vote. what he's doing as i mentioned at the beginning of the show, has echoes of what we saw him do before he was a candidate, when he was a businessman to barack obama. first of all, on his truth social account, he said,e listening to nikki nimarata haley, the whacked out speech. first of all, her first real name is nimarata, her middle name is nikki. he combined that. we know why, because we all have children and we know nimrad is one that juveniles use. he reposted something from a far right account that effectively suggests that nikki haley shouldn't run for office, can't be president, can't be vice presi

also with me co-anchor of pbs news hour and msnbc political contributor geoff bennett. , more about these new protections for abortion access. i understand they're putting out an ad to punctuate the point. >> that's right, well, i'm hear in waukesha county, wisconsin, which of course is where the vice president just wrapped up her speech, really not mincing words here as she was going after republicans and saying that democrats need to make sure that they are protecting abortion access across the country. she said that republicans were creating a health care crisis, and she said that president biden would veto any possible federal ban on abortion. she also, of course, is touting the administration's efforts here. just today the biden administration was saying they are going to put out new protections to expand access to contraception and medication abortion using federal departments including the department of labor, treasury, as well as the office of personnel management. they're also putting out as you noted, a new ad highlighting the stories of women impacted by the o

. >> you know, on pbs news hour on friday, my colleague david brooks, christina, who is making the argumentming a multi racial party, and cited the fact that there are some african americans who were starting to support donald trump, and latinos who were starting to support donald trump. we ran out of time, so i wasn't able to respond. but, when that's not happening, is it? >> no, david brooks, it's not. and so, i think a lot of republicans like to hide behind the fact that oh, african american men are moving towards donald trump. first of all, that's pulling data, we have yet to see that that actually happens. we know that black women are immune to the republican party, especially anything that donald trump is selling. and even if black men, in small percentages let's just say, 89% of black men, as -- 91, which would -- we have traditionally seen in the democratic party. let's say a few percentage points moved over to the republican party, largely because of economic issues, and not what stuart laid out, which is the blatant racism that the republican party is selling. that still, african

joining me now, geoff bennett, coanchor of the pbs news hour, geoff, trump previously suggested he hadked his vp, what's with all the speculation. would he possibly consider someone as divisive as tucker carlson? >> you know, it's hard to tell, chris. i mean, donald trump has been known to crowd source selections for everything from cabinet secretaries to supreme court nominees to vice presidential picks. so the idea that he is considering someone like tucker carlson, i wouldn't necessarily rule it out. but donald trump did say that he has in mind selecting a woman to serve as his vice presidential ticket. and you mentioned elise stefanik who over the last several years has really rebranded herself and shifted to the right to have a higher profile in the trump era. it might be hard to believe this now, but back in 2012, she was actually a moderate, and she worked on mitt romney's presidential campaign. but after 2016 when donald trump won, that really started her rightward shift. she has served on donald trump's impeachment defense team, and she actually even endorsed him for the presi

joining us now is co-anchor of pbs news hour, amna nawaz and tim miller.hat is it going to take for nikki haley to chip away at trump's support and especially when we're focusing on south carolina? >> if there is anything we learned coming out of new hampshire and iowa, it is just how calcified donald trump's hold on the republican party is, while nikki haley did finish second and, you know, maybe in her campaign's mind better than they thought they would, strong finish coming out of new hampshire, largely on the back of those who are moderate and independent voters there, not enough of them came out to give her a win or even to close the gap between the lead that donald trump had over her in new hampshire. so, honestly, a lot of this comes down to math. one is if she is going to stay in the race, to try to continue to or try to amass delegates, at some point you have to start winning the delegates to use as leverage later. the other is just the financial reality of any campaign. we have seen this happen with all the other gop candidates, desantis most rec

joining us now co-anchor of pbs news hour, geoff bennett, an msnbc political contribute, and victoriablic service at the university of arkansas. she is also an msnbc political analyst. so jeff, what's the campaign strategy for this massive show of force? >> well, that great reporting by kristen welker, it speaks to a need among the biden campaign to inject energy and enthusiasm into president biden's campaign. of course presidents clinton and obama are still hugely popular with the democratic base, and so the reporting right now is that the cpaign is eyeing a three-way campaign stop effectively, fundraiser this spring. but the core of the biden reelect strategy, jose, i can tell you is in many ways a redeployment of what worked in 2020, that the campaign will try to paint donald trump as a grave threat, not just to american democracy but to american society writ large and american institutions. and then beyond that what you will see is president biden speaking directly to the constituencies that made up the biden coalition, as we saw him do this past weekend in south carolina, talking
