About this episode
Jen Psaki breaks down the very different set of challenges facing President Joe Biden and Donald Trump as their respective campaigns gear up for a rematch -- explaining why Trump’s baggage is far heavier than Biden’s. James Carville joins the show to examine the state of the presidential race and how Democrats can seize upon their financial and political advantages in 2024. Next, Preet Bharara joins Jen to break down Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s request for a gag order against Trump – one month ahead of his first criminal trial. Later, Jen is joined by Representative Elissa Slotkin to preview the Michigan primary as President Biden’s policy towards Israel’s war in Gaza divides Democratic voters. Jen also outlines how the GOP and Russia’s goals are more aligned than ever, as recent NBC reporting reveals that Russian efforts to interfere in our next election have already begun. Finally, Jen calls out former members of Trump’s administration who haven’t spoken out nearly enough about the danger he poses in a second term.
