Biden in trouble as Supreme Court hands Trump another big win

jeudi 4 juillet 2024 • Duration 29:01

This falls against the backdrop of Joe Biden trying to convince the public and members of his party that he is still fit to run for president. This week, Jonathan Freedland and Paul Begala, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, discuss how the Democrats can regroup
