Full Panel: Biden is ‘testing the waters’ using abortion issue to take voters in Florida



As DeSantis appears “far from sure-footed in his first steps,” some in the GOP begin to wonder if he’s missed his window to lead the primary field. Carol Lee, former Representative Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), Dan Balz and Symone Sanders-Townsend discuss Ron DeSantis’ status in the GOP primary ahead of his anticipated presidential announcement this week and the effects abortion messaging will have heading into 2024.

  1. Lol. The u.s. is falling apart and biden is worried sbout abortion

  2. Why didn't the panel talk about the fascist things that are being done in Florida? The Media needs to pick this story up instead of assuming that Making America Florida is what anybody wants

  3. Once again, you do not factor in the possibility of Trump in jail!

  4. Joe BIDEN hasn't had a cognitive thought 😳 in many , many years 😳. Everything he says is scripted.

  5. Testing the water? More like sinking the ship

  6. 60 percent of Americans are pro access to abortion early.
    35 percent are pro abortion in the second trimester.
    10 percent are for abortion in the third trimester.

  7. The trickery that the left uses when they say "most people are pro access to abortion" but they dont tell you that as soon as get more than a few months into pregnancy most people are anti abortion at that point.

  8. 😂😂 he should give up on Florida

  9. Tim Scott has no chance.

  10. Abortion has become the new hula hoop for Democrats …It's very popular and a real vote getter ….They should just out a mirror …

  11. There should be no deal concerning the debt ceiling. Not everything has to be held hostage for drama and blackmail. Just pay the nations bills.

  12. Has Chuck Todd EVER met a bold-faced liar telling a bold-faced LIE, that he has actually challenged! I finally lost count of ALL the lies that Byron Donalds was telling, but not the ones that Todd challenged, because there wasn't even ONE! Here was this dude, insisting that 'Biden has had MONTHS' to come up with a 'PLAN' for the Debt Ceiling but has come up with nothing'! When its the Maggots that keep saying NO but offering no Alternatives! But this is the BIGGEST FARCE here – Biden isn't supposed to HAVE to come up with ANY – "PLAN;" The Debt was already agreed upon & passed, by BOTH Chambers. This is about signing on to just paying the Debt already accrued, period. And that, my Friends, is on the republicants, the party that Mr. Donalds is party to & seems that's all that all of them have been doing! I really don't know why i keep watching this Show, its almost as bad as watching faux "news!"

  13. Can't wait for DeSantis to be grilled on the international media.

  14. DeSantis IS NOT a contender nationally, period, it's obvious he wants to be King, he is more dangerous than Trump because he is much smarter.

  15. Abortions are not done in bedrooms. But even if they were, the bedroom is no more a sanctuary from the law than is a cornfield.

  16. didnt the largest city, jacksonville has gone dem already. so hes doing what?

  17. 1:45 Lol the face of the woman on the left when he mentions that Trump endorsed his campaign.

  18. The abortion issue is of zero concern to any primary voters or gop politicians. If anything hurts Desantis it is the presence of Donald Trump in the mix and his established base.

    IF a decent number of them do not come to their senses, and if they stick with Trump, it will be all but guaranteeing 2 things. One, that Desantis will lose the Primary and Biden will have another 4 years of wrecking out nation.

  19. Abortion is every woman's choice across the majority of the world.

    Republicans are like Taliban men dictating what subjugated women should do. Land of freedom?

    The US constitution has been amended 27 times and is the reason they are called amendments.

    "Keep the government out of our lady bits." N.Duz

  20. They need a population boom.. so either play a bunch of procreation advertisements lol or.. ban abortion.. the latter is guaranteed to work lol

  21. "The Whitehouse wants to land this (debt ceiling) plane anyway possible"… and that would be a bad thing? Is Chuck Todd rooting for the hijackers?

  22. Desantis has a “strong economic record”? Did you see the billion dollar loss he just took? He’s destroying Florida you idiots.

  23. No one cares that much about abortion except crazy people, usually bible bangers. The crooks in charge are just using these so called "issues" as food for the fools to fight over.

  24. If the registered Dem/Prog/Ind would actually get out and VOTE! Make your voice heard! Blow out the gerrymandering to kingdom come!

  25. I HATE Chuck Todd's program. Here we are, facing down a fascist party that, if victorious in 2024, will immediately proceed to consolidate permanent power and crush all opposition, with violence, following the examples of Putin and Orban. Meanwhile, Chuck Todd and his panelists talk about this as though they are evaluating which team is going to win the Superbowl.

  26. Imo, VP Harris could champion abortion and the GOP disenfranchisement of the poor across the entire nation.

  27. Tim "I've been pulled over 18 times but America is not a racist country" Scott

    Sounds to me Scott lacks the judgement to be POTUS.

  28. The majority of American still value freedom and won't vote for a fascist autocrat like Trump or DeSantis. What is scary is 5 years ago I thought only a very, very small percentage of Americans wanted a dear leader.

  29. I would make sure Joe has on arm floaties, if he is going anywhere near water.
