Biden campaign issues first statement on Trump immunity ruling

We are getting our first reaction from the Biden campaign, Craig, and it gives you a sense of their thinking and their strategy moving forward. Let me read you a part of what they say. Quote, today's ruling doesn't change the facts. So let's be very clear about what happened on January 6th. Donald Trump snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon for the very same reason he sat idly by while the mob violently attacked the Capitol. He thinks he is above the law. And is willing to do anything to gain and hold on to power for himself. That is significant. Why? Because of course, that's been the crux of President Biden's argument for why he deserves another four years in office. He has tried to cast Trump as a threat to the nation's democracy, as someone who potentially runs the risk of carrying out yet another January 6th. And so it is clear that Democrats are doubling down on that argument and digging into that argument. But therein lies the crux of the crisis within the Democratic Party that in the wake of that. Devastating debate performance by President Biden, questions swirling outright panic within the Democratic Party about whether President Biden is the best messenger, the best person to take on this fight. I can tell you privately Democrats are expressing concerns. One person saying to me he cannot win, another saying this race is effectively over. So of course, the questions become, could he, would he step down that process? Incredibly difficult, incredibly challenging. And again, right now we have seen. A defiant President Biden or Kelly O'Donnell reporting that sources inside the campaign are considering potentially more interviews, more public visibility. But that is really the crux of this crisis.
