"L.A. TIMES" SHOW 70% OF VOTERS
WANT A CANDIDATE WILL BE TOUGH
ON CRIME, CARLEY, TODD.
>> VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
REELECTION BID WITH
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
>> LISTEN, THE PRESIDENT HAS
BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT HE INTENDS
TO RUN AGAIN.
IF HE DOES, I WILL BE RUNNING
WITH HIM PROBABLY.
>> Todd: GLORIA ROMERO THE
DEMOCRATIC LEADER OF CALIFORNIA
STATE SENATE, SHE JOINS US NOW
TO REACT.
GLORIA, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
YOU HEARD THAT COMMENT FROM
KAMALA HARRIS.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO IT?
>> BASICALLY, IT IS NOT THAT
CLEAR.
IT IS PARTISAN WORDS.
LET’S FACE IT, JOE BIDEN IS
KAMALA HARRIS’ MEAL TICKET TO
POTENTIALLY THE PRESIDENCY.
SHE NEEDS TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP
PUTTING OUT THERE FOR THE
PUBLIC, AND ESPECIALLY POTENTIAL
OTHER OPPONENTS THAT JOE BIDEN
IS RUNNING.
BECAUSE THE LONGER THAT PEOPLE
CAN BELIEVE THAT, THE GREATER
THE OPPORTUNITY IS THAT NO OTHER
CONTENDER LIKE GAVIN NEWSOM,
PETE BUTTIGIEG, HILLARY CLINTON
MIGHT STEP INTO THE FRAY.
>> Todd: NOT SOMEONE AS
"EXCITED AS HARRIS IS."
TIM RYAN RUNNING IN HOTLY
CONTESTED RACE AGAINST J.D.
VANCE.
LET’S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
>> DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD RUN
AGAIN IN 2024?
>> WELL, MY HUNCH IS WE NEED NEW
LEADERSHIP ACROSS THE BOARD LIKE
A GENERATIONAL MOVE FOR NEW
LEADERS ON BOTH SIDES.
>> Todd: MY GUESS IS GLORIA,
YOU SPEAK TO A LOT OF DEMOCRATS.
DO THEY FEEL MORE LIKE TIM RYAN
OR MORE LIKE KAMALA HARRIS WHEN
IT COMES TO JOE BIDEN IN 2024?
>> THE "LOS ANGELES TIMES" JUST
PUBLISHED A SURVEY AND IT WAS
DONE A POLL SUPPORTING BIDEN.
OVERALL, SOME 54% OPPOSE ANOTHER
TERM FOR JOE BIDEN.
IT IS EVEN HIGHER AMONG LATINOS
WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT IS
QUICKLY BLOCKING THE WAY.
AND BLACK VOTERS, HISTORICALLY
SUPPORTED DEMOCRATS IS
INCREASING AS WELL.
SO THIS SO-CALLED DESIRE TO SEE
GENERATIONAL CHANGE BY
CONGRESSMAN RYAN IS ONCE
AGAIN, LIKE THE DEFINITION OF
SECURE.
NOBODY BELIEVES IT.
IT IS GASLIGHTING.
AND IT IS A WAY TO DISTANCE
THESE CANDIDATES IN TOUGH SEEDS
AWAY FROM CLEARLY FAILING
PRESIDENCY.
>> Todd: ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE ECONOMY, WHICH WILL
PLAY HUGE IN A STATE LIKE OHIO.
MEANWHILE THE VICE PRESIDENT
WENT TO SAY THIS ABOUT THE DOJ
INVESTIGATION INTO
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
LISTEN.
>> I THINK OUR COUNTRY IS A
COUNTRY THAT HAS GONE THROUGH
DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME WHERE
THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DEMAND
JUSTICE AND THEY RIGHTLY DO.
>> Todd: SHE SAYS DEMAND
JUSTICE BUT DONALD TRUMP HAS NOT
BEEN CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME IN
THIS DOJ INVESTIGATION.
SHOULD VICE FORMER PRESIDENT
VICE PRESIDENT AND DOJ BE
TALKING LIKE THIS?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I’M A FORMER BOARD OF THE ACLU
THAT BELIEVES IN DUE PROCESS AND
THE RESPECT FOR SEIZURE RIGHTS.
MANY OF US, MOST OF US ARE
APPALLED.
WHATEVER WE THINK OF
DONALD TRUMP AND WHATEVER
HAPPENED TO THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO I AM DISENCHANTED WITH
THAT, ONCE AGAIN, IT IS A WAY TO
TRY TO RESHAPE AND TO TRY TO
ENCOURAGE THE ELECTORATE TO NOT
LOOK AT INFLATION, TO NOT LOOK
AT SUPPLY CHAIN, TO NOT LOOK AT
THE CRISIS OF A VERY UNSECURED
BORDER AND TO TRY TO FOCUS ON
SO-CALLED DIVISIVE ISSUES SUCH
AS AN ACT OF THIS COURT.
IT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT.
WILL OF US SHOULD RESPECT THIS
THIRD BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
WE OFTEN SAY WHEN YOU GO TO A
JURY TRIAL, ONCE THE JURY HAS
SPOKEN WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE
WITH IT, YOU RESPECT THE
PROCESS.
IN MY TO BE A DIFFERENT
COURT, THE TIDE WILL TURN
EVENTUALLY.
WOULD NEED TO BE PREPARED TO NOT
