Summary

Former Vice President Mike Pence has officially launched his presidential campaign, joining a growing field of contenders – including his former boss Donald Trump – for the Republican nomination. While a crowded race could aid a victory for Trump as anti-Trump voters become splintered, support for Pence and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could present a challenge to the former president. Meanwhile, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie kicked off his second run at the White House yesterday with a scathing attack on Trump. Former Republican congressman and one-time CIA agent Will Hurd joins the show to discuss the candidates and the likelihood of a Biden-Trump repeat in the 2024 election. Also on today's show: Dr. Jean Pape, Director and Founder, Les Centres GHESKIO; musician Rufus Wainwright To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
