tim scott's whole thing was that i was the nice guy.y going to get into the mud with donald trump or any other candidates they would have these weird fights with each other. he tried not to do that. again, it did not give him any place to be. it's like he didn't understand the party that he is part of. the ways that he completely embraced the things that his party was about. in not going against trump, he just so fell by the way to side. he just gave himself no place to be. i don't even know if that tim scott endorsement would make a difference at this point. he just never got traction. he never figured out what kind of candidate he needed to be. >> it would be interesting to see what he does do going forward from here. as we started this segment, with tim scott, the senator from south carolina dropped out of the race after just appearing on the debate stage on wednesday trying to make a full-throated attempt to win some votes. that does not seem to have worked. former senator barbara boxer, renee graham, thank you both for reacting to

and then i found tim scott, a real american patriot. now i'm going to support nikki haley. >> charles: andy, not long against, neil asked senator scott if he considered being vice president. here's what he had to say. >> i did not enter this race to come in second place. second place is the first loser. from my perspective, the only way to run for president is to do it 100% of the time. all we're focused on is making sure the next generation of the american story make mine pale in comparison. >> charles: andy, seems that that clip we had there, the energy, the vibrancy of a tim scott, is what electrified people. when he came out, his announcement was different. on the debates -- i'm a big foxing fan. i'm a big larry holmes fan. he threw jabs but didn't knock out with the other hand. now nikki haley is in the middle of it and mixes it up. was that missing from tim scott? would he need that if he were to be considered v.p.? >> yes, he learned a lot. the first debate killed him. it was his -- it was the first debate. but it was his first de

i was in iowa in august at a tim scott event and a lot of people there were like, i really like tim scottm still voting for donald trump. >> speaking of donald trump, the contrast here could not be more significant or visible because we've noted tim scott tried to run the sunny -- i'm a friendly conservative kind of campaign. the electorate is not in the mood for that. what they are in the mood for is honestly very, very dark. what donald trump had to say in a rally used language that echoed hitler and musilini. >> in honor of our great veterans on veterans day we pledge to you that we will root out the communist, marxists, and the fascists left thugs that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible, they'll do anything whether legally or illegally to destroy america and to destroy the american dream. >> so the biden/harris headquarters tweeted about this or xed about this over the weekend as well. i mean, this -- i just -- i honestly sometimes am on the fence about playing stuff like that in terms of circulating it. in this case i think it's important to underscore

senator tim scott hopeful, optimistic, stay has mill yopions dropping out of his presidential bid.h more reaction issue madison gilbert, national spokesperson for the rnc. i had other questions to ask you, i got to pivot to senator scott and ask you what i asked him. i think he's too humble to answer this. he is the highest ranking african american republican in the country. he has shepherded tremendous bills and tax reform. i remember president trump and vice president pence invoking his name and yet he can't crack 5%, in danger of not making the next debate stage. i'm trying to figure out why republican primary voters, his resume seems good, why they were not buying that? >> senator scott is a great man, with an incredible story and he's a living, breathing example of the american dream that we as republicans are fighting to save. conservatives and i think senator scott mentioned about unity, trying to see the republican party come together and unite. if we lose next november, our country will never be the same. when we're looking at races, not just presidential, taking back the

say it came as a shock to scott's campaign staff. >> i think the voters who are the most remarkable people on the planet have been really clear that they're telling me not now, tim. >> reporter: though scott was outpacing most other candidates in terms of fundraising, recent polling put him in a distant fifth place behind frontrunner former president donald trump. trump continues to dominate the field while other republicans are tirelessly trying to catch up. many showing support for israel amid the war in gaza. on a visit to the country, gop candidate chris christie stopped at one of the sites of the hamas terror attacks. >> we can't ask israel to stand down if they believe there is still a legitimate violent threat against them and their people. >> reporter: in iowa late last week, florida governor ron desantis condemned anti-semitism on the campuses of american universities. >> if you have foreign students on visas that are out there protesting in favor of hamas, i'm canceling their visas and sending them home. i don't have time for that. >> reporter: a fourth republican primary debate is set for the remaining candidates next month. as of this morning, tim sc

tim scott has suspended his campaign running for president. according to politico, the news came as a shock to his own staff. he did not give them a heads up before he said it on live tv. he had canceled a swing through iowa over the weekend. he said he had the flu. next thing you know he pops up on sunday night in america with trey gowdy. >> ainsley: one of his best friends. >> steve: and called it quits. here's tim. >> one of the things i would recommend to every single american and i know it's not possible by the way, if you ever want to love your country more, run for president. traveling this country, meeting people has been one of the most fantastic experiences of my entire life. i love america more today than i did on may 22nd. but, when i go back to iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. i am suspending my campaign. i think the voters who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really clear that they are telling me not now, tim. i don't think they are saying, trey, no. but i think they do saying not now. so i

trey: thank you for joining us and roll with the punches with the tim scott news.you next time. >> as always. thank you trey. trey: crime can strike anyone including a highly decorated soldier who served in the house and senate. martha mcsally joins us to discuss being attacked and more importantly fighting back. next on sunday night america the chase ink business premier card is made for people like sam, who make- everyday products, designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder, that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that- i need a breakthrough card. like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more. plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases. and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas- a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. >> tech: cracked windshield on your new car? bring it to safelite. my customer was enjoying her new car, when her windshield cracked.

tim scott dropped out of the 2024 republican primary for president. he did that last night.t announcement you heard surprised his donors and stunned many, i would say most of his staff, want to bring back our panel in on that. carl, it was interesting he did it with trey gowdy. >> south carolina. >> two besties from south carolina, two very close friends. what do you make of the fact that he decided to do it now? let me say as you answer that question, i was in miami last week for the debate, which turned out to be his last debate, there was no questions in most people's minds, including privately, people who work for him, that that would be his last debate. maybe the timing of him doing it so quickly after that debate. >> the endorsements in iowa were going against him, didn't leave him much chance. the truth is he was never going to be the nominee. he started out, and know, it was about raising his profile and honestly running for vice president if that is a possibility f he could be that kind of candidate with trump and trump never really went after the senator, did he? m

tim scott, just 18% of republicans in iowa had a very favorable rating of him. compare that to donald trump, 42%. but again, he was liked. look at this. they had a 43%, somewhat favorable rating, so his favorable ratings overall were into the 60s. the fact is, when you're trying to stand out in a primary, you need to be loved. you need to stand out from those other republicans, and simply put, tim scott was basically the type of guy to say, yeah, i like him, but, no, i'm probably not going street for him. >> it was also interesting, a couple of things, one that he is not endorsing explicitly. but also, too, the fact that he said he didn't rule it out in the future. he said, not right now. that these feelings would change going forward. >> yeah, i think, you know, look, when we go forward in a campaign, i think, you know, this is just 2024. we'll see what happens in 2028, 2032. tim scott is a relatively young guy, especially the front-runners for the gop and the democratic nomination. so this isn't his only chance. i'll also note, another big problem tim scott ha

thoughts on tim scott and his girlfriend? >> i don't like it, sarah.ial at a presidential debate is too much pressure on a girl. i had a guy run for president once just to impress me. i was like, how about you win an actual state first? then you can take me to red lobster, dennis kucinich. >> i don't know who that is. and look. i love seeing the sequel to "get out." but i don't care if he is a senator. any 58-year-old man who has never been married is not a catch. he's a liability. he's like one of those couches that's been left out on the curb. you know, it might look good, but he's got bedbugs are all kinds of stuff and him. you gotta think twice before you sit on him! >> sarah: okay. [cheers and applause] so what is the big take away from the night. >> honestly come before me, i was depressed by the diversity on that stage. you had all kinds of people coming together to advocate for total war. you had a black man, a south asian woman, a south asian man, a short king, and a piece of shit from new jersey. >> my take away, i'm accustomed to a president

take tim scott.last night about tim scott, somebody who donald trump has not spoken an ill word of to date. tim scott could be a potential vice presidential pick. there's the question, the longer he stays in and the more difficult reality that he faces with poll numbers that aren't going up, suddenly there are serious questions in play of whether somebody like tim scott would be an exciting vice presidential pick. nikki haley has gone all in on donald trump. for donald trump, we have seen a republican party over the last eight years coalesce around him because of the peril that folks who counter and cross him face. there's the potential of donald trump serving four years in the white house again. for anybody who is looking at their own political capital and political future, including those folks on that stage there yesterday, there are serious questions each of them will have to be looking at whether they are on that debate stage or not come december 8th in alabama. >> december 8th in alabama. thank

i enjoy tim scott. he said great stuff. there are candidates, i enjoy, i like nikki haley, as well, i don't think they have a shot, i think trump is too far ahead. i don't think tim scott moved the needle. vivek ramaswamy was upset nbc was doing the interview, it is not time for tim scott and hope he runs again after this election. i think trump is too far ahead. >> todd: lydia, strongest night and why? >> i honestly think the only candidate that projectses strength and promotes great economy and american dream is donald j trump. all the candidates were not projecting that. they were projecting cringy moments of political candidates fighting for second place. i really did like when vivek ramaswamy called nikki haley like dick cheney in hills, that was cringy and i couldn't do it. >> todd: cringy is a word i'm hearing a lot, not just from you. pedro, who had the strongest night in your opinion and why? >> i think it is between ron desantis and nikki haley. haley hit all points of concern to americans. she shed light on why w

tim scott fading a bit because he is more on the train in iowa than in new hampshire. host: mr. steinhauser, it was reported last week--if you can inform our viewers about it -- president biden for his part will not be on the ballot in new hampshire. can you clarify that? guest: you are absolutely right, his campaign made an announcement. this goes back a year ago when the president came up with a new calendar for the democratic nomination schedule, which moved new hampshire in the democratic calendar out of its first place position. we have the first in the nation presidential primary for over a century here, democratic national committee in february overwhelmingly endorsing that calendar. that has got a lot of people angry in new hampshire, as you can imagine. because of that, new hampshire is going to follow. we have state law have a century rolled -- old that says we have the first presidential primary. we will have a primary from the democratic side that is not sanctioned. because of that nonfiction primary, the president is not on the calendar. that equates trouble for him

. >> breaking overnight, a shocking announcement from south carolina senator tim scott.out of the race for the republican presidential nomination after failing to gain traction in the polls. >> as scott himself asked point, he simply did not think he had enough support from voters to keep trudging for the nomination. >> i think the voters, who are the most for markable people on the planet, been really clear that they are telling me "not now, tim." [laughter and applause] >> leslie: not now? not now? no. not now it's what you say when a telemarketer calls you during the dinner time. this was more like "we ain't going to ever, ever, ever, ever, ever vote for you [bleep] ass antiabortion, antigay milk dog looking [bleep]!" [cheers and applause] but what's really surprising about this is we finally got to meet tim scott's mystery girlfriend. he brought her out on stage and then a week later he drops out. [laughter] and you know she was only dating him because she thought he was going to be the president. i bet you he is now like "well, i fell short, but at least we've got e

tim scott is officially bouging out. we have more on who this benefits or doesn't. kevin. >> trace south carolina senator jim scott has a job. a great job. he probably would be the first person to tell you that. tonight he will renew his focus on being a senator for south carolina. announcing to day he's suspending his campaign. bouging out of the 2024 race for the white house. that decision maybe the first of many of the so-called middle tier candidates to say see you later. here is the rub. even as the gop field shrinks it's unclear tonight if any candidate will consolidate support to challenge president trump. meantime we're less than a year out from t the presidential election. a week away from president biden's 81st birthday. concerns about his age, candidacy and other things growing by the minute. even pooing his own party. former obama advisor suggesting biden should think about bouging out. the latest new york times shows 7171% of voters believe biden is too old for the presidency. the same poll shows former president trump leading in four curable swing state

there's a lot of big donor money that says that tim scott can't win. chris christie can't win.want to give it to ron desantis and ron desantis is not going to drop out. and tim scott, he's just not been able to figure out an explanation for why he's running for president. >> so, jonah, when tim scott dropped out last sunday, the day after you made your prediction, his top staff reportedly did not know he was going to do it. a lot of them were surprised. how did jonah goldberg know? >> i have snitches and informants everywhere. i can't reveal my sources. . >> you just knew this was going to happen? >> i had a sixth sense ain't. it's a gift. it's a gift. >> all right. so jonah has put one on the scoreboard and takes an early lead. >> does he get a prize? >> what? >> does he get a prize? >> no! it's the beginning of the season, not the end. now it's time for your takes and predictions this week. hit me with your best shot. jonah, we'll play the hot hand. what's your best shot for this week? >> since we all know past performance is predictive of future results, i'm going to win pow

and we heard what tim scott had to say there calling for the 15 week ban. that is what glenn youngkin ran on in virginia. i want to show everybody more of how the candidates talked about abortion once they did get to it in the back half of the debate and then we'll talk about it, take a look. >> we need a 15 week federal limit, three out of four americans agree with a 15 week limit. i would challenge both nicki and ron to join me at a 15 week limit. >> as much as i'm pro-life, i don't judge anyone for being pro-choice and i don't want them to judge me for being pro-life. so when we're looking at this, there are some states going more on the pro-life side. i welcome that. more are on the pro-choice side. i wish that wasn't the case but the people decided. >> so very interesting. nikki haley has been taking a very interesting stand on abortion in the way that she talks about it, very distinct. and bottom line is this was a losing issue for republicans across the country on the ballot on tuesday. what were your takeaways from how the republican candidates hand

>> well, let's get back to tim scott, who is still not running for president anymore, and is still suspendingis presidential campaign. with us now, susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today," eva reported there were scott supporters saying tim scott wanted to run this hopeful, optimistic campaign, that's not just where republican voters are. so where are they? >> reporter: yeah, this is not the year of the happy warrior. this is the year of the apocalyptic message on both sides about how catastrophic things are in this country, and how catastrophic they'd be if the other guy was elected. so he was -- he was at a step, now, that doesn't mean we won't have the possibility of seeing him again. because i was struck by his answer last night to whether he was interested in running for vice president on a trump ticket, and he said that was, quote, not on my to do list. well, that is not exactly a shermanesque statement saying if elected i will not serve. how hard would it be to put it on his to do list if trump did that? >> that's like i have no plans to be on the ticket. well, you know wha

tim scott said he would close the southern border.on't know how that would work for trade and economically, but you're the one who repped a third of the u.s. border with mexico. are any of those things viable? >> you can cooperate with the mexican government on going after cartels. here's the bottom line. the current crisis that we're dealing with on the border began with donald trump. it was donald trump's administration that opened the border up and started treating everyone coming into the country as an asylum seeker. joe biden continued that and turned it into a bigger mess. you can tell when donald trump is reading something and when he's talking from the cuff, it's almost like he didn't know what he was talking about. the fact that he doesn't understand the root causes of these problems is indicative of his crazy answers. but, yeah, we need someone that understands we have to address the asylum issue, we have to address root causes in these countries that are dealing with this, who understand that fentanyl is a major issue that

south carolina senator tim scott was not one of them. he just jumped right in and said that he wants a national abortion ban. >> senator scott, i would like you to weigh in. how do you see the path forward? what do you make of what ambassador ali says? you see this as a consensus issue? >> i am 100% pro-life. i have a 100% pro-life voting record. i would as president of the united states, have a 15-week national limit. >> stop saying ban, no he slim, but that is the only adaptation that you have seen on that issue. another team of tonight's debate, back for an encore from the last debate, was just the deep palpable, withering discussed that candidate evac ramaswamy seems to inspire from his fellow candidates. he makes them say things that you can't imagine they ever set before in their lives. he makes them make facial expressions on the stage that you're quite sure that they don't know that they're making in public. he really brings out a sight of them that makes news, frankly. here he was with former south carolina governor nikki haley,

under the impression that tim scott was still playing to win. didn't get any heads up and learned he was dropping out watching trey gowdy's show. the scott news is not likely to impact president biden's strategy much if at all. he has been focusing more and more on trump at closed door fundraisers. some families wish he would focus more on thinks loved ones. american citizens who the state department says are wrongfully detained in china. when he meets with china's president xi on u.s. soil this week. >> need president biden to just go to president xi and with a plan, a concrete plan to get home my dad and mark and david. these are not cases that happened yesterday. >> pete: this week is going to be the first time that president biden and xi have met in person since the spy balloon was sent over the u.s. to eventually be shot down there. is other unresolved business. covid origins hear nothing about that anymore anywhere. the spy agencies in this country came up empty and then they complained that the chinese side was not being forthcoming. back

there is a lot of big donor money that says tim scott can't win and chris christie can't win and they want to give it to ron desantis and ron desantis is not going to drop out, and tim scott, he's just not been able to figure out an explanation for why he's running for president. >> so jonah, when tim scott dropped out last sunday, the day after you made your prediction, his top staff reportedly did not know he was going to do that. a lot of them were surprised. low did jonah goldberg know? >> i drop benjamins on shoe shine guys all around the country. i have snitches and informants everywhere. i can't reveal my sources. >> you knew this was going to happen? >> i had a sixth sense about it. yes. it's a gift. it's just a gift. >> all right, so jonah has one on the scoreboard and takes an early lead. i don't want anybody to be bitter. >> does he get a prize? >> no, it is the beginning of the season, not the end. and now time for your takes and predictions this week. hit me with your best shot. joe na, we will play the hot hand. what's your best shot for this week? >> since we all know p

[cheers and applause] thank you, sir. happy monday. happy monday. please. welcome. thomas. welcome, one and all to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. now we have been off -- we've been off for a week, right? and there's so much to talk about. but let's get right to the story that is gripping this nation and really all nations. on saturday, travis kelce was spotted with taylor swift. [cheering] in argentina during the chiefs' be week. this is exciting for me, because i love taylor. i am what you call a swiffer. i am. i'd go so far as to call myself a wetjet. anyway, trav-trav was down there to see tay-tay's tour-tour. and it was extra special because during the concert, taylor changed the lyrics to one of her songs in a nod to travis kelce. see if you can spot the new lyric. ♪ karma is the guy ♪ ♪ on the chiefs ♪ ♪ coming straight

instead, senator tim scott, former governor chris christie and us ambassador to the un nikki haley have said that supporting ukraine in its struggle for democracy is in the interests of american security. at the same time, former us president donald trump, who has the highest ratings among all republican candidates, did not participate in the debate . by. my colleague yuliya yarmolenko followed the course of events in miami. hello yulia. usually, at such debates, first of all, they discuss about domestic american problems. but this time there was a lot of talk about foreign policy, but what about ukraine? you know, maria, it was really unusual. that's the highlight of this debate here in miami. the entire first part of this debate was devoted precisely to external issues. and indeed, if the candidates agreed in principle on what is helping israel. it is necessary that israel definitely has the right to defend itself from an attack by hamas, then from the point of view of ukraine and the further support of the united states of ukraine, then there were really different opinions here, and

last night senator tim scott suspended his campaign for the white house.y say it is time for the field to get thinner to take on former president donald trump. candidate and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley on the gop frontrunner. >> certainly trump has some strong support. i have always said he was the right president at the right time and i agree with a lot of his policies. drama and chaos follow him weather fairly or not it is constantly following him and americans feel it. you can look at it, we pay the price for it. what is important is we need to have someone who can win the general election as well. >> harris: an op-ed that makes the case. if christie, scott and ramaswamy believe the party needs new leadership and voters across the country deserve something better than a rematch between the 80-year-old incumbent and 77-year-old predecessor she should demonstrate it by dropping out and let desantis and haley go against trump. >> the thing about tim scott is he is not in it as a vanity project. he cares, he wants to make a difference. others in that

breaking overnight, senator tim scott has called it quits. at the south carolina senator has suspended his campaign and surprising even his own campaign staff who learned about it watching television. he has been struggling in the polls, and the super pac who has been supporting him has suspended their campaign ads. >> i am going to recommend that voters study each candidate and their candidacies and their past, a make thnd make their be decisions for the country and it is best for me not to weigh in on who to endorse. >> and he said he would not be a running mate, and after that, it was shermanesque refusal. >>> and now, mike johnson is look at a two-part proposal to keep the government running past friday. his plan would fund some through january 19th, and the rest through february 2nd, but he is already facing opposition. this just into cnn the whip count is six gop no votes which is enough to sink that bill without any kind of democratic support, and that could put johnson in the same spot that got kevin mccarthy ousted from the speaker c

i thought that tim scott was very underwhelming.a lot of -- i was texting during the debate with folks, and yet a lot to say about college campuses, but had nothing to say when hbcus were under attack. so like this fake outrage. i think is having a moment, and the moment never materialized. but it is did come out on stage, his girlfriend. >> mindy. >> mindy is her name, there we go. one of the most interesting things, and i know we have to take a quick break in a moment here, that i thought was how everybody went after nikki haley. nikki haley became not only did she have a pretty good night, of the candidates on the stage, but she also was the prime target. so that, i, thought was kind of an interesting tell about where things stand in the premier at this point. >> yeah, she is the ascendant one. as kevin noted. she is the one who galvanizes the energy of the money in the first instance that's moved off of ron desantis and move towards her. here's the problem, and it really goes to what kevin was saying, really quick, we talk about

inserting himself more than he has to do. >> the conversation we had with dave, haley's team calling for tim scott scott struggled to qualify for this debate, we're not sure he'll make the next one, what do you think. >> that remains to be seen. former vice president pence dropped off because he ran out of money. tim scott doesn't have that money. there's no clear incentive for him to drop off. the largest paper in south carolina, two weeks ago, endorsed nikki haley and called on all of the other candidates that includes their home state senator tim scott. that's got to be a little embarrassing and no one believes in his campaign the way that he does. >> donald trump just up the road at a rally, counterprogramming rally, his team has said he'll skip next month's debate in alabama, from what you're hearing, the trump team has been running a general election campaign. nothing is changed? >> nothing is going to change. the first question, why would you be a better nominee than donald trump? i don't think anyone has been asked that before. okay, with all due respect, you're running for president, you'

tim scott can tell you. he just was a genuinely nice person. some comments after i posted he had pulled out last night, after he left the race, he was just too nice, maybe just not his time. you say he has a great future ahead, we'll see how he comes back and if he come back. he is still a u.s. senator and we need movement on the hill. so he's still got a big job to do and we'll see how it goes. i wish him the best. his family is beautiful, his mother was beautiful. if you look across the aisle, that is why i wanted to do families in focus, there are good folk running on the right side of the aisle, whether they go the distance or not, the nation owes them a great deal of gratitude. i think trump will jump in and give a debate, but the guy on the other side stuck in the basement, not so much. >> kayleigh: with a tough eshg lectoral future and here is democrat david axelrod and what he has to say about joe biden. >> one number in polling that was concerning and in the cnn poll that followed after the "new york times" poll had to do with age, tha

and here's why tim scott has put a lot of money into this race. gone through that money and he is someone who be in first or second in iowa with evangelical vote iowa votes in less than 70 days. he can't a 3rd place showing. and even though no one is cutting into donald trump, do they mention donald trump? what does that look like? because also as a reminder to your viewers, california votes in super tuesday, march 5th, but on march, 11th 6 days later, donald trump's on trial the federal trial with jack smith on march. 11th, is anyone making the case about donalds month? donald trump incarcerated are facing really kind of a threat. is liberty. does that have movement tonight? that's another element to watch as well. >> yeah, you mentioned tim scott going to ask you about him. i mean, it debate number 3 and arguably, if no one has made a big sustained movement yet to rival trump. is likely to happen? yeah, ok, so 2 elements to that. katherine one is tim scott has to have some movement forward. nikki haley has that momentum. does governor desantis d

exchange between tim scott and nirk can i haley both from south carolina both looking at that state ashere they can gain traction from the second debate. >> we've lost 100,000 factories, 100,000 factories in the last 25 years if we continue to made in america plan we can bring jobs back to america. >> i appreciate tim we've known each other a long team but he's been there 12 years and he hasn't done any of that. they've only given four budgets on time in 40 years he was part that have. >> you know, one of the biggest take aways from being watched this is undercard debate again no donald trump undercard debate i think interest is going to continue to wane and influence of the debate is going to continue to wane. because the fundamental premise of every candidacy right now underneath donald trump is counting on the efficacy of indictments at this pongt numbers aren't there. you're too far behind it has to be a fall from donald trump. with an indictment being effect i have i think republican base doesn't like that either. you're counting on this -- this deep state taking through law fair

a former tim scott supporter. first to mike emanuel with what is at stake. mike?ggest nickki haley would be the strongest in a general election matchup with president biden. the president losing with three top gop contenders. former president trump to 50% to biden by 46%. ambassador nikki haley, the biggest lead, 52% to biden 41%. but for that to happen, she has to catch the former president. mr. trump has expanded his lead from 59% to 62%. desantis ticked up to 14%. haley up slightly. vivek ramaswamy holding steady at 7%. chris christie remains at 3%. other has dropped to just 1%. president biden is suffering from record high disapproval of his job performance among men, 63%. voters under 45, 62%. hispanic voters, 60%. college degree, 57%. black voters, 41% disapproval. another concern for the president and his campaign team, west virginia senator joe manchin who says he's thinking about running for president. >> everybody is talking about a third party run. i'm talking and trying to resurrect the middle, the common sense middle. right now i don't care what you s

i thought tim scott was pretty low energy. i suspect this will be his last debate. he didn't really cut through very much. and chris christie effectively trying to be the anti-trump candidate in a primary field that is not interested in him. the wild card is vivek ramaswamy who went in as a bit of a bomb thrower. but i think his act is wearing thin. i don't think that he had an especially good debate and where he made some of his more outrageous claims, the other candidates were quick at putting him down. so haley and desantis probably the two strongest in the field. >> and it seemed as though the candidates weren't exactly focusing on the issues that will move the dial at next year's election. for example off the back of the results on tuesday. that was not discussed until the very he said and there really wasn't very much moving of the dial. desantis perhaps a little more vague on his stance. and there was a huge emphasis on foreign policy which typically is not be would of the key issues for voters in the united states when deciding who to vote for. >> yeah, i th

of tim scott dropping out soon. >> why, first of all the move to nikki haley? >> because i think her performance in the debate was geared for attracting a lot of big donor money. there is a lot of big donor money that says tim scott can't win and chris christie can't win and they don't want to give it to ron desantis and ron desantis is not going to drop out, and tim scott, he's just not been able to figure out an explanation for why he's running for president. >> great guy. but hasn't been able to come up with an explanation. >> can you see in 20 seconds any way that trump doesn't get the nomination? >> i think it is possible but i wouldn't bet anything of great value on it. >> not even a panda. >> i said anything of great value. [ laughter ] >> thank you all very much for being here once again. thank you for spending part of your sunday, saturday morning with us, and we'll see you back here next week, and the christianne amanpour hour is up here right now on cnn. >>> hello, everyone. i'm christianne amanpour in london. welcome to the ammanpour hour. in the ne

>> well, she had hard words for trump and tim scott and desantis, and she was firing at everybody on the stage trying to take control of the non-trump lane of the primary. she has not quite done it yet. desantis is very much alive and well and kicking if you will in that lane right now, and the trouble for both of them is that donald trump is very popular and dominant in the party primary, and to me, the real question tonight is if it is an academic exercise and trump has locked it down and a lot of republican voters who believe it is true. >> that is true. what do you believe is the answer to the question? >> what you seeing in the national polls of vis-a-vis is convincing the republicans they don't have to make a strategic choice. and the republicans will go up against trump. they like him, but they want somebody who can win, but now everybody in the national media and everybody else saying that trump is beating biden and for a republican, why don't i just nominate the person i like, and not the person i sort of like. so that is what is vaulting trump forward here. so tonight, some

i talked to tim scott after the debate, asked him about what ron desantis had said. listen to his reaction. >> governor desantis was pretty tough on conservative activists. he called it the pro life community, saying that the pro life community asleep at the switch. and that is in part whys and those antiabortion are losing these ref rent da. do you agree? >> i don't agree. i don't understand why he said what he said. there's no reason to insult the pro life voter unnecessarily. >> it was a head scratching moment and obviously an opportunity for tim scott, who was out there competing in iowa to take advantage of. i would just note it's particular odd because of ron desantis' path and strategy for the nomination, which is it's iowa or bust for him. that's a largely evangelical-driven electorate. this is a very important issue part those voters. so to say the pro life movement is flat footed on this stuff and they have to gt their act together, it seems discourted. >> go ahead. so that's one of the big issues, abortion. another is just the dynamic of seeing nikki haley

chris christie and also tim scott. as you can see, the other three are on the outside, and they are looking in at a race that's been overshadowed by the hamas attack on israel. that is making it increasingly difficult for contenders to the get noticed when the leader, donald trump, has a proven track record of being pro-israel. quickly as for the money, trump taking in another $24.5 million in fund raising for the third quarter. look at desantis. he has $11 billion, but his haul dropped off by 44% from the second quarter. haley has $8 million. gop primary debate one week from today. stuart: how about that? comes fast, doesn't it? thanks, lauren. jason chaffetz joins us now. all right, jason, our power rankings have trump as the clear front-runner, desantis and haley neck and neck as his challengers. can either of them catch trump as the field narrows? >> well, you know, the longer it goes on, the harder it's going to be. donald trump is clearly way out in front. i don't think it's a mistake that the top three people ha

tim scott in tim scott's way pushed back on that a bit.nna maybe hurt desantis in iowa? >> it will be interesting to see how this is sort of a distilled thing, because tim scott is obviously going after the evangelical vote, as is ron desantis. so there's a pretty big forum in its next week actually, the week before thanksgiving in, iowa the iowa family leader. which is a very influential evangelical group, it's having all the candidates in. so we will see if that sort of echoes and resonates. it might, but the bottom, line i think also the position that nikki haley has looking for a consensus. you heard the applause in the audience for that. so she has been able to walk this line on abortion, she, you know, she says she is pro-life in her words. but she calls for consensus, and there is an appetite for that. so she is going to suburban voters, i think that is pretty important. but again, this is a bit of a carpet, i think we have to say, the winner of this debate and certainly the person commanding this lead of this race was not here toni
