The Strategy Behind Donald Trump’s Bronx Rally, Nikki Haley Says She's Voting for Trump, and Who Will Lead the Senate After Mitch McConnell Leaves?

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss the strategy behind Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx tonight and Nikki Haley’s statement yesterday that she would be voting for Trump. They also talk about new polls that show ticket splitting may be more common in 2024 than in previous elections and Florida Senator Rick Scott’s announcement that he will join the race for leadership of Senate Republicans after Mitch McConnell steps down. Next, they discuss today’s report by the New York Times that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is pressing to relax restrictions on the use of US weapons by Ukraine, to allow them to target missile and artillery launch sites within Russia itself. Also, they take a look at today’s House testimony by three university presidents about their handling of student protestors. Then finally, Andrew Walworth talks with Anne Rathbone Bradley, professor of economics at the Institute for World Politics and vice president of Academic Affairs at The Fund for American Studies about the growing bipartisan consensus over implementing tariffs and whether the era of global free trade is really coming to an end.
