President Biden is facing a stalemate on his biggest foreign policy priority, more wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine. Former Prime Minister of Israel Naftali Bennett discusses the war between Israel and Hamas. Special Counsel Jack Smith appeals to the Supreme Court on the issue of presidential immunity. A new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll out of Iowa shows just how dominant former President Trump is. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.) repealed a state law that required women to buy a separate rider on their health insurance to cover abortions. The fight over abortion access in Texas is playing out in the case of one woman’s struggle to end her high-risk pregnancy.
