More Steve Drazkowski on nutrition for kids: "I haven't seen the data that suggests that there is more kids going hungry today... I live in rural Minnesota, and I haven't met one yet... How can kids be malnourished and record obesity at the same time? I don't get it, madam chair"

Wow. Biden in Tampa on Trump: "He said there has to be punishment for women exercising their reproductive freedom ... maybe it's coming from that bible he's trying to sell. I almost wanted to buy one just to see what the hell is in it."
Biden: "It was a political deal to get rid of Roe, a political deal Trump made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party to look past his moral and character flaws in exchange for his commitment to appoint justices to SCOTUS who would overturn Roe."
Biden on a national abortion ban: "As long as I have the power of the presidency, it's never going to happen."

Moments later, Trump exploded at @PhilipRucker when Rucker called him out for recommending dangerous and unproven treatments like bleach injections.

"I'm here to present ideas," Trump claimed.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Will your support for Trump continue even if he's convicted?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Yeah. This has been going on for more than a year and his poll numbers never go down.

S: But you're going to politics. I'm asking about right and wrong.

CS: This is about politics.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But I'm asking whether you're going to be swayed by a conviction

SUNUNU: Nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor is supporting the Republican president
STEPHANOPOULOS: Please explain given the fact you believe Trump contributed to an insurrection how you can say we should have him back in the Oval Office

SUNUNU: For me, it's not about him as much as it is having a GOP administration

Trump was deeply confused about how covid spread but that didn't prevent him from publicly agitating for the economy to reopen, suggesting that public health precautions would lead to mass suicide
Instead of listening to public health experts, Trump was pointing at his head
