Interviews with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi; Rep. James Clyburn; Sen. Lindsey Graham
State of the Union
Jul 1, 2024

After President Biden’s rocky debate performance sends Democrats into a panic, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi joins CNN’s State of the Union and tells Dana Bash “let us not make a judgment about a presidency on one debate.” Next, top Biden ally Rep. James Clyburn tells Dana that Biden had a “bad performance” but blames it on “preparation overload.” Then, Dana presses Trump supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham about why Trump’s repeated falsehoods on the debate stage don’t give Republicans any pause. Finally, CNN Political Commentators Ashley Allison, Kate Bedingfield, Kristen Soltis Anderson, and CNN Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings join Dana to break down the fallout from the debate and what it means for the 2024 race moving forward.
