BERMAN The vast majority ░░░░░░░░ the 2020 Democratic candidates ░░░░░░░░ heading to Iowa this ░░░░░░░░ but front runner Joe ░░░░░░░░ will not be there ░░░░░░░░ former vice president reversed ░░░░░░░░ on a major issue ░░░░░░░░ s very important to ░░░░░░░░ issues last night He ░░░░░░░░ he no longer supports ░░░░░░░░ ban on federal funding ░░░░░░░░ abortions We want to ░░░░░░░░ the bottom line with ░░░░░░░░ senior political commentator David ░░░░░░░░ David since you ve ░░░░░░░░ with us I ve ░░░░░░░░ known you to be ░░░░░░░░ kind and gentle with ░░░░░░░░ candidates You though call ░░░░░░░░ happened with the Biden ░░░░░░░░ the last few days ░░░░░░░░ mess Explain AXELROD I ░░░░░░░░ not deal with the ░░░░░░░░ of your question There ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Democrats ░░░░░░░░ complain that I haven ░░░░░░░░ been gentle But look ░░░░░░░░ think that this was ░░░░░░░░ parable about Biden that ░░░░░░░░ to question marks about ░░░░░░░░ candidacy His rollout was ░░░░░░░░ in my view and ░░░░░░░░ s had a very ░░░░░░░░ spring But this underscores ░░░░░░░░ that people have had ░░░░░░░░ whether he can go ░░░░░░░░ distance One because the ░░░░░░░░ of having a long ░░░░░░░░ and comforting people and ░░░░░░░░ a figure of stability ░░░░░░░░ the flip side that ░░░░░░░░ have to defend positions ░░░░░░░░ you ve had over ░░░░░░░░ course of 45 years ░░░░░░░░ politics some of which ░░░░░░░░ have been acceptable in ░░░░░░░░ day and not acceptable ░░░░░░░░ We see that on ░░░░░░░░ issue of the Hyde ░░░░░░░░ But the other is ░░░░░░░░ way this thing came ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden was out ░░░░░░░░ his on the campaign ░░░░░░░░ he s not been ░░░░░░░░ that much and a ░░░░░░░░ challenged him on the ░░░░░░░░ of Hyde video was ░░░░░░░░ and he said he ░░░░░░░░ re veers this policy ░░░░░░░░ the next day the ░░░░░░░░ when it came to ░░░░░░░░ the campaign put out ░░░░░░░░ statement and said No ░░░░░░░░ still believes in the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment Then there was ░░░░░░░░ furor and last night ░░░░░░░░ flipped again So that ░░░░░░░░ a flip flop flip ░░░░░░░░ is never a good ░░░░░░░░ in politics and it ░░░░░░░░ questions about his own ░░░░░░░░ and his own steadiness ░░░░░░░░ his campaign s performance ░░░░░░░░ this was not a ░░░░░░░░ you know beyond the ░░░░░░░░ itself this was not ░░░░░░░░ reassuring episode for the ░░░░░░░░ campaign CAMEROTA A flip ░░░░░░░░ flip also known as ░░░░░░░░ Triple Axelrod AXELROD Very ░░░░░░░░ CAMEROTA: “You’re welcome.”
