I interviewed Pence on Air Force 2. From me and @susancrabtree.
realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/…
Pence responded to Biden's argument about restoring the soul of the nation, by noting that the nominee would end contraception mandate for Little Sisters of Poor:

"They were targeted by the Obama administration for simply trying to live out their faith”

realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/…
Pence said that when there is a vaccine, the US will be generous with the rest of the world but the first doses will be “for the American people.” realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/…
Pence would not say if the White House had a transition plan to hand off the Coronavirus task force to the Biden administration if Trump loses in November. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/…
What does it mean to be a Republican? Pence says, among other things, "standing up, apologetically, for the right to life, standing for freedom of speech, freedom of religion — all of which are under siege in the cancel culture in which we live today.” realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/…

News: Harris to propose “federal ban on corporate price-gouging” on groceries and “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” campaign announces.
Harris will propose, what her campaign bills as “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries—setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”
The campaign singles out the “highly consolidated” meat-packing industry, noting how just four meat processors control the market and arguing “the lack of competition gives these middlemen the power to drive down earnings for farmers while driving up prices for consumers.”

"This is not a payment or any kind of ransom," John Kirby says of the $6 billion released to Iran in exchange for the release of American citizens.

He notes that the money isn't coming from taxpayers and it's not sanction relief.
Kirby adds that:
-It's not American money
-Funds are monitored and not available all at once
-Iranian people will be recipients, not the regime
"They will get five Iranians as well."

The Tucker Carlson news isn't just a media story. It significantly changes the GOP 2024 primary overnight. abcnews.go.com/US/tucker-carl…
Tucker went where other journalists were too squeamish to go.

He pressed the gender identity question, objecting also to GOP sacred cows on foreign policy and trade.

That is, Tucker asked questions the conservative base cares about.
Who got the entire GOP field on the record on the Ukraine question? It wasn't the New York Times. They were running write-ups of his show. nytimes.com/2023/03/13/us/…

The president told me yesterday that the 2022 midterms "easily could be illegitimate." He added also "I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit."
I was following up on an excellent question asked first by @allison__news. Screen shots of both our questions below: ImageImageImage

The Virginia governor's race is quite the mile marker given that a decade ago Mitch Daniels was calling for a "truce" on social issues in order to focus on "the red menace" of debt and deficits.
The argument social conservatives are making inside the GOP is 1) It was always a one sided truce, 2) they were never the aggressors, but regardless, 3) following Youngkin's lead on culture wars will lead to wins in 2022. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
This quote from @Schilling1776 whose group is pushing the GOP off the sidelines is instructive of how social conservatives see things. He tells me, "this is the Tea Party but for families. They attacked the one thing people care about more than money: Our families."

Reporter asking Education Secretary to give an update on the proposal "to teach more Black history in schools" questions the affect of "Republican backlash over that."
Read that critical race theory.
Cardona says that he "always" trusts educators "to make sure that our curriculum promotes the beautiful diversity of this country."

The controversy, the secretary says, is "another example of something that's become politicized."
Is the proposal still on track? Cardona, despite the DOE dropping references to CRT, says "yeah, the priorities are still what they are. I think, for us, the way we put it forward, allows districts to—and states—to put in their proposals and how they want to teach it."
