NEWS FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN.
THIS BLAIRING HEADLINE SOURING
ON BIDEN.
THEIR NEW POLL FINDS THAT MOST
DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT THE
PRESIDENT TO RUN AGAIN FOR A
SECOND TERM.
64% SAY THEY WOULD PREFER A
DIFFERENT PERSON RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
THE TIMES ALSO NOW QUOTING
OFFICIALS THAT QUOTE "WATCH OUT"
FOR THE PRESIDENT.
HE SHUFFLES WHEN HE WALKS.
HE WILL TURN 80 YEARS OLD IN
NOVEMBER.
THAT’S A MILESTONE NEVER REACHED
BY A PRESIDENT SITTING IN US A.
REAGAN WAS 77 WHEN HE LEFT THE
PRESIDENCY.
THE BIDEN TEAM SAYS THAT HE
PLANS TO RUN AS BUZZ BUILDS
AROUND AN EARLY TRUMP CAMPAIGN
DECLARATION POTENTIALLY.
DEVIN NUNES, CEO OF TRUMP MEDIA
AND TECHNOLOGY GROUP AND FORMER
GOP CONGRESSMAN, RICHARD
GOODSTEIN, A DEMOCRATIC
STRATEGIST.
RICHARD, YOU SEE THE REPORTS?
DO YOU SHARE THE CONCERNS?
>> LOOKING, THESE ARE NOT GREAT
NUMBERS FOR JOE BIDEN.
THEY’RE WORSE FOR DONALD TRUMP
BECAUSE THAT EXACT SAME POLL,
HEAD-TO-HEAD, BIDEN BEATS TRUMP
AND WORSE, THERE’S REALLY NO
LEGITIMATE DEMOCRAT TALKING
ABOUT PRIMARYING JOE BIDEN.
WE SAW A POLL OUT OF
NEW HAMPSHIRE, ONE OF THE FIRST
STATES TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES
WHERE DESANTIS BEATS TRUMP.
SO LOOK, OBVIOUSLY THERE’S A LOT
OF REASONS THAT IF BIDEN DOES
DECIDE TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION
AGAIN, HE HAS A RECORD IN TERMS
OF JOB CREATION, MANUFACTURING
CREATION.
STANDING IN THE U.S. -- KIND OF
AROUND THE WORLD, REMEMBER
FOREIGN LEADERS LAUGHING BEHIND
TRUMP’S BACK AT A NATO MEETING.
THE RECENT NATO MEETING, BIDEN
WAS APPLAUDED.
HE HAS A RECORD THAT IS A SOLID
ONE --
>> Martha: THE PROBLEM IS THESE
NUMBERS COME FROM "THE NEW YORK
TIMES."
THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS HIS AGE,
WHICH NOW SEEMS TO BE REALLY IN
THE BLOOD STREAM.
FOR A WHILE, NOBODY TALKED ABOUT
IT.
I THINK THERE WAS SORT OF
IMPULSE TO BE POLITE.
NOW IT’S GETTING A LOT OF
EXPOSURE FROM DEMOCRATS WHO ARE
33% SAY THIS IS THEIR MAIN
CONCERN.
HE’S GOT A 60% DISAPPROVAL
NUMBER.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN POINT OUT THE
THINGS YOU THINK HE’S DONE
RIGHT.
HE’S UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE AND
THERE’S ALL KINDS OF BUZZ ABOUT
PETE BUTTIGIEG OR AMY KLOBUCHAR.
>> THERE’S A LOT OF DEMOCRATS
WAITING IN THE WINGS IF JOE
BIDEN DECIDES AS HE SAID IN
2020, THIS WAS A TRANSITIONAL
PRESIDENCY FOR HIM.
>> Martha: HE DID SAY THAT.
>> THAT INCLUDES GAVIN NEWSOME
WHO CLOBBERED HIS OPPONENT WHEN
THERE WAS A RECALL AND GRETCHEN
WHITMIRE WHO HAS BEEN STAND UP
IN MICHIGAN.
SO DEMOCRATS DON’T HAVE ANYTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.
THEY HAVE A YOUNG GROUP WAITING
IN THE WINGS IF BIDEN DECIDES
NOT TO RUN.
DON’T FORGET OBAMA AND CLINTON
WON HANDILY WHEN THEY RAN FOR
RE-ELECTION.
GRANTED THEY WEREN’T 80.
>> Martha: HERE’S FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN ANCHORAGE
SATURDAY NIGHT.
>> WE’RE A NATION WHOSE
ECONOMIES IS FLOUNDERS, STORES
ARE NOT STOCKED AND EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM IS RANKED AT THE BOTTOM
OF EVERY LIST.
BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO LET THIS
CONTINUE.
TWO YEARS AGO, WE HAD THE
GREATEST AND I MEAN LIKE NEVER
BEFORE ECONOMY AND THE GREATEST
COUNTRY.
>> Martha: DEVIN NUNES, YOU
BELIEVE THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS
IMMINENTLY GOING TO ANNOUNCE
THAT HE’S GOING TO RUN?
THERE’S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT
THAT.
>> I THINK HE’S BEEN CLEAR THAT
HIS GOAL, ONE, GET GOOD
CANDIDATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
YOU CAN SEE HIM DOING THAT.
THE FIRST TIME BEING IN ALASKA,
UP THERE MAKING SURE THAT WE GET
SOMEBODY GOOD ON THE BALLOT
THERE.
HE’S BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY LIKE
THIS IN MODERN POLITICAL HISTORY
WHERE YOU’RE GOING AROUND,
DRAWING CROWDS OF 10, 20, 40,000
PEOPLE NOT TO MENTION THAT THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE
AT THE RALLIES LIVE ON A
SATURDAY NIGHT REACHES OVER A
MILLION PEOPLE.
SO IT’S REALLY INCREDIBLE WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING.
I THINK HE’S BEEN CLEAR WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HE WANTS TO HELP THE REPUBLICANS
GET GOOD CANDIDATES, WIN THE
HOUSE BACK, WIN THE SENATE BACK.
THEN HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT
HIS HEALTH IS GOOD.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT HE’S MOST
CONCERNED ABOUT AT THIS POINT.
>> Martha: MY QUESTION IS
THERE’S A LOT OF SPECULATION
THAT HE WILL TRY TO GET IN SOON.
IS THAT FOUNDED?
>> LOOK, HE HASN’T TOLD ME THAT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP, ONE THING YOU CAN ALWAYS
REMEMBER, HE DOESN’T DO ANYTHING
THE CONVENTIONAL WAY.
HE’S VERY UNCONVENTIONAL.
PEOPLE DIDN’T BELIEVE HE WAS
GOING TO RUN IN 15.
HE WAS TARGETED BY HIS OWN
GOVERNMENT.
HIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION WAS
ATTACKED UNFAIRLY BY OUR OWN
GOVERNMENT, WHICH THOSE
INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING.
SO HE WILL DO PROBABLY -- WILL
SURPRISE ALL OF US INCLUDING ME.
>> Martha: HERE’S THE POLL.
ONE MORE QUESTION TO YOU, DEVIN,
THIS IS THE POLL THAT RICHARD
MENTIONED.
WHAT WOULD YOU VOTE FOR.
44% BIDEN, 41% TRUMP.
YOUR REACTION TO THAT.
>> IF PRESIDENT TRUMP DECIDES TO
GET IN THIS RACE AND RUN, THE
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, IT WOULD BE
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYBODY TO
MOUNT A SERIOUS CHALLENGE TO
HIM.
I DON’T BELIEVE BIDEN IS GOING
TO RUN.
I THINK MOST DEMOCRATS DON’T
BELIEVE HE’S GOING TO RUN.
I THINK THEY’RE TRYING TO
DECIDE, DO THEY BAIL SHIP FROM
BIDEN BEFORE OR AFTER THE
MID-TERMS.
HE’S ESSENTIALLY DO YOU MAKE HIM
A LAME DUCK NOW OR LATER.
THE OTHER PROBLEM IS
TRADITIONALLY YOU’D HAVE THE
VICE PRESIDENT, THAT WOULD BE
OUT THERE CAMPAIGNING FOR FOLKS.
BUT EVEN SHE CAN’T DRAW CROWDS.
SO THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM.
THEIR BENCH IS VERY WEAK.
IT’S UP TO PRESIDENT TRUMP IF HE
WANTS TO RUN, HE WILL WIN THE
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AND HE WILL
HAVE TO CONVINCE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE THAT HIS VISION WHEN HE
WAS PRESIDENT IS ONE THAT WE
WANT TO GO BACK TO.
>> Martha: YOU HEAR THAT CONCERN
A LOT, RICHARD.
THAT HARRIS IS NOT THE OBVIOUS
SUCCESSOR ANYMORE.
>> LOOK, AGAIN, IT’S GOING TO BE
IF BIDEN DECIDES NOT TO RUN,
IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG FIELD.
NOBODY WILL CLEAR THE FIELD FOR
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN.
AS FAR AS DRAWING CROWDS IS
CONCERNED, YOU KNOW WHEN --
HARRIS.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP GOT BIG CROWDS
IN 2020 AND 2018 AND THE
ANTI-MAGA VOTE WAS UNPRECEDENTED
BOTH YEARS, HE LOST BY SEVEN
MILLION VOTES DRAWING ENORMOUS
CROWDS IN 2020.
I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP IN
PERSPECTIVE, I WILL TELL YOU,
ROE WAS AN INFLECTION POINT.
I THINK ANTI-MAGA CROWD, WHICH
HAD BEEN SITTING ON THE
SIDELINES A LITTLE BIT OVER THE
PAST 1 1/2 YEARS, WAS KIND OF
REMINDED OF EXACTLY WHAT IT IS
THAT UPSETS THEM.
IT’S ABORTION.
IT’S CONTRACEPTIVES, SAME SEX
MARRIAGE, IT’S GUNS.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL
MOTIVATE YOUNG VOTERS AND THE
SUBURBAN WOMEN WHO WE TALKED
ABOUT OVER THE YEARS WHO ARE UP
SURE IF THEY COULD VOTE
DEMOCRATIC AGAIN.
THIS NATURAL AND IN 2024.
LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL.
>> Martha: SO WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
MID-TERMS AND DEVIN, OUR LATEST
FOX NEWS POLLING BASICALLY SHOWS
THAT THE GOP AT THIS MOMENT IN
TIME, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT
LIKELY LEANING DENIM, LEANING
GOP, LOOKS LIKE THE MAJORITY
WILL GO TOWARDS REPUBLICANS IN
THE MID-TERM ELECTIONS HERE.
THE SENATE, A LOT OF QUESTION
MARKS ABOUT SOME OF THE
CANDIDATES ACROSS THERE.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT PLACES
LIKE PENNSYLVANIA AND GEORGIA ON
THE SENATE SIDE?
>> LOOK, THOSE ARE THE
TRADITIONAL TOSS UP AREAS.
ONE THING THAT YOU BROUGHT UP
AND SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN’T
SEEN, TYPICALLY IN THE TOSS-UP,
LEAN DEMOCRATIC SEATS OR LEAN
REPUBLICAN SEATS, YOU WANT YOUR
REPUBLICAN OR YOUR DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL, VICE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES IN THOSE DEMOCRATSS.
RIGHT NOW THEY’RE LEAN DEMOCRAT
AND THEY DON’T WANT BIDEN AND
THEY DON’T WANT HARRIS.
THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR THEM.
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT SEATS THAT
BIDEN WON BY 5, 10 OR 15 POINTS
AND THEY DON’T WANT BIDEN OR
HARRIS AROUND.
THAT WILL SPELL TROUBLE FOR
THEM.
YOU’LL FIND IT HARD PRESSED AND
THERE’S VERY FEW REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES IN THE HOUSE OR
SENATE, THEY’RE BEGGING FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO COME INTO
THEIR DISTRICT BECAUSE HE HELPED
THEM RAISE MONEY, HELPS GET
VOTERS TO THE POLLS.
ALL THINGS THAT ARE INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT IN THIS OFF ELECTION
YEAR.
>> Martha: DEVIN NUNES SAYS HE
DOESN’T THINK THAT THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT WILL RUN AGAIN.
RICHARD, YOU SEEM TO SOUND LIKE
HE WILL.
WE’LL SEE WHERE IT GOES.
>> TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD.
>> Martha: THANK YOU.
THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC.
YOU REMEMBER THE BIG BATTLES IN
THE 80s AND 90s?
YOU’RE ABOUT TO SEE SOMETHING
UNFOLD HERE.
A NEW TWIST THIS AFTERNOON FROM
ELON MUSK.
NEIL CAVUTO ON THE BREAKING NEWS NEXT.
