Chris Christie was for Donald Trump before he was against him. The former New Jersey governor stood by Donald Trump through scandal and controversy, and on Sunday the Republican candidate was confronted with his support of the former president, who he now opposes.
“You stood by [Trump] after he was accused of rape, after he praised Vladimir Putin repeatedly, after he was impeached. Didn’t you normalize his conduct for a long time as well?” Face the Nation host Nancy Cordes asked Christie, who is running for the GOP’s presidential nomination,...

TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming.
On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.
Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people...

President Joe Biden holds a solo press conference at the White House on Wednesday, one of the few such events he’s had in the 12 months since he took office.
Reporters will likely pepper him with questions about Omicron, the situation with Russia and Ukraine, the status of voting rights and the future of Build Back Better. It would not be at all surprising if he’s asked simply how he thinks he’s done in his first year, the kind of self-assessment the can be telling in and of itself.
What viewers will see are far fewer reporters than normal as social distancing limits the number allowed in the East Room to just 42, this for an event that normally packs in as many journalists as possible.

Updated, with comment from Jen Psaki: As Nicki Minaj has soaked up attention for her social media posts casting doubt on the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine, the White House has offered to call her to answer questions.
“As we have with others, we offered a call with Nicki Minaj and one of our doctors to answer questions she has about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine,” a White House official said on Thursday.
Minaj on Monday posted on Twitter that she would not be going to the Met Gala because of its vaccine requirement. She then claimed,” My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen.”

Joe Biden’s First 100 Days: Correspondents On Covering A White House Of More Discipline, Fewer Leaks
White House correspondents often describe Joe Biden’s first 100 days through the lens of policy — Covid-19 relief, immigration, voting rights, racial justice.
That in and of itself is a change from the comparable period of Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, whose tenure was marked by endless palace intrigue, frequent leaks and unceasing combat with those assigned to cover him.
Deadline spoke separately with White House correspondents at six major networks — Cecilia Vega of ABC News, Nancy Cordes of CBS News, Kaitlan Collins of CNN, Peter Doocy of Fox News, Geoff Bennett of NBC News and Yamiche Alcindor of PBS NewsHour — to talk about covering an administration that has, from the start, been a world of difference from the past four years.

Update, 11:34 Pm Pt: Joe Biden wrapped up his first formal press conference, lasting about an hour, by telling the reporters gathered, “But folks, I’m going.”
Very quickly, Fox News keyed into the fact that Biden did not call on its White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, who was in the East Room, even as Biden called on reporters from the other major networks.
“Peter Doocy was not given a question, which is of note as well,” said Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, as the chyron read, “Biden signed 37 EOs but holds just 1 news conf.”
News outlets called upon during the press conference: Associated Press, PBS, The Washington Post, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, Bloomberg and Univision. A typical press conference features reporters from across the country, including a number from lesser known news outlets, but Covid-19 restrictions limited the number of correspondents allowed in the room.

“I got elected to solve problems,” Joe Biden said today in response to the first question at his first solo press conference as President. “All I know is I’ve been hired to solve problems, not create division,” he staunchly added, laying down again that there is a new kind of Potus in the White House after Donald Trump.
“I want to change the paradigm,” the well calibrated and well prepped president proclaimed of his ambitions for the nation.
The AP had the first question in the just over 62-minute long affair that ranged from timely topics of the Covid-19 health crisis, the just passed $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, the surge at the southern border, and filibuster reform in the Senate. Following a week that saw mass shootings in Atlanta and Bolder, gun control was on the press conference agenda too, as was a large infrastructure package, withdraw from the forever war in Afghanistan,...

Nancy Cordes has been the indefatigable Capitol Hill beat reporter at CBS News for more than a decade. Now she will start a new role for the ViacomCBS news unit – at the White House.
CBS News named Cordes its chief White House correspondent, part of a reshuffling of news resources that usually takes place around the industry whenever a new occupant takes over the Oval Office. CBS News also named Ed O’Keefe senior White House and political correspondent and said Weija Jiang, another familiar face covering the White House, would be a senior White House correspondent going forward.
The moves are some of the first put in place by Ingrid Cipiran-Matthews, who was named CBS News’ Washington Bureau Chief on January 5.
“I have taken a fresh look at the needs in D.C. and feel confident that we are putting the right team in place for success,:” Ciprian-Matthews said in a statement.

Around 2 p.m. Et, she watched as the debate got underway in the Senate with the first of several planned objections to certification raised by GOP lawmakers; their aim was to draw attention to President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the election was marred by widespread voting fraud.

Congress will count the 2020 Electoral College votes on Wednesday to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential victory in a joint session beginning at 1 p.m. Et/10 a.m. Pt in the House of Representatives.
The final (and usually pro-forma) step in the Potus certification process, today’s count is expected to verify the votes electors cast back in December that gave Biden a 306-232 win in the Electoral College, a month after Biden won the popular vote in the general election. The margin of victory is the same in which now-President Donald Trump declared victory in 2016.
Trump and many GOP members of Congress have disputed the results of the this year’s presidential election, though dozens of attempts to overturn results in both state and federal courts (and two in the U.S. Supreme Court) have failed. Trump continues to press on with unfounded claims that the election was stolen from him,...

In normal times, the certification by Congress of electoral votes for president would be, at best, a nominal news event. But these aren’t normal times.
On Wednesday, Congress is expected to complete the final step in making Joe Biden’s election official. But with some Republican lawmakers signaling that they will bow to public pressure from President Donald Trump to upend the electoral-college certification — a process rarely infused with drama and described by the Constitution as a fairly routine counting exercise — television-news is gearing up for event coverage.
MSNBC will kick off its coverage at 9 a.m. Et with Stephanie Ruhle on “MSNBC Live”; Hallie Jackson will then take over as anchor for two hours of special coverage from Washington, D.C., beginning at 10 a.m. Et. At noon Et, coverage will be taken over by Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell in Washington, D.C., and Katy Tur in New York.

Gayle King has been a TV anchor for many years and many election cycles. But she’s never had an Election Night experience like this one.
The “CBS This Morning” anchor was part of the live team that anchored CBS’ coverage from 7 p.m. Et on Tuesday until just after 3 a.m. Et Wednesday on a wild night of seesawing numbers and partisan jousting over the vote-counting process. She was back on the air live from 6 a.m.-noon Et on Wednesday.
“I am cock-eyed tired,” King admitted.
King had been prepared for a late night on Tuesday but was surprised when her assistant told her she’d need to be back on air at 6 a.m. Et. At that point, wearing the yellow dress that she wore on air, King decided rather than heading home she would grab a few winks on a couch in the green room of MTV’s “Trl” studio,...

The end of the road is finally in sight for the 2020 presidential election — though the drama could, and probably will, certainly continue on after Nov. 3. But no matter what happens on Tuesday night in this race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, CBS News will be there to cover all of it, and you’ll be able to watch the network’s coverage for free from wherever you end up.
CBS News will have its coverage going all day on the Cbsn streaming platform, but the main event — the network’s dedicated coverage bloc — will start up at 7 p.m. Et/4 p.m. Pt. Which is when the first states close their polls on the East Coast. “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell will be the lead. But she won’t be alone.
O’Donnell will be joined on the desk by “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King, “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan,...

CBS News will base its election night coverage from Times Square for the first time, in ViacomCBS’s headquarters at 1515 Broadway.
The network on Thursday announced its plans for coverage of Nov. 3, with a heavy emphasis on its reporting team, visual graphics and exit and polling data.
The biggest scrutiny, though, will be on how the networks characterize the state of the race and at what point they will declare a winner. One of the biggest concerns has been of candidates declaring victory based on election night totals, even though big chunks of mail-in votes remain to be counted.
The network’s decision desk, led by Anthony Salvanto, will feature an Election Night Tracker that combines exit poll data and vote tallies along with the network’s polling. CBS News’ Battleground Tracker will have polled 100,000 people by election day. The network said that Salvanto will explain its methodology and how it makes projections.

The election coverage will be from CBS News. The studio may remind some savvy viewers of MTV.
CBS News will cover the 2020 election from different digs than it has in the past, moving a phalanx of its best-known anchors from its regular New York digs to a big studio in Times Square that once housed MTV’s long-running music program “Trl.” The new space will give Norah O’Donnell, Gayle King, Margaret Brennan, John Dickerson, and Ed O’Keefe a chance to maneuver along with crew and producers while making use of new technologies that let viewers see graphic displays and maps in real time.
The team will need room, thanks to the new rigors of covering an election amid a global pandemic and a bevy of new wrinkles in this critical national process.

In matters concerning the impeachment trial, Republican senators have been warned: if they go against Trump they should be prepared to reap the whirlwind. “Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike,” a source told CBS News’ Nancy Cordes.
The report did not say whether the threat came from Trump himself, the White House, or Republican leadership. There have been few signs of Republican Senators breaking ranks. All of the procedural votes, which set the rules for the trial, have fallen to defeat on party lines.

Update, 3:40 Pm Et: The first full day of the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is likely to be taken up by important procedural questions likely to trigger hours of acrimonious debate. Shortly after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released the text of proposed rules and parameters for the trial, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it “nothing short of a national disgrace.” Democrats are objecting to a number of proposals, including a plan to give each side 24 hours of time to lay out their case. But that would take place over two days for each side — meaning that the Senate (and viewers watching) are looking at 12-hour days that will spill over into the wee hours of the morning. Schumer said that the resolution “stipulates that key facts be delivered in the wee hours of the night simply because he doesn’t want the American public to hear from them.

As if TV news needed more headlines…
The usual suspects are gearing up to cover the U.S. Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, the latest swirl in what seems to be a never-ending news cycle centered on the White House. But the impeachment proceedings, which kick off in earnest Tuesday, take place as many networks are also deep into coverage of the race among Democrats to secure the nomination for the 2020 election.
“There is an election campaign going on, and CNN has coverage plans that are somewhat unrelated to the impeachment trial,” says Sam Feist, CNN’s Washington Bureau chief, in an interview. “We will have to remain flexible.”
That’s not to say the AT&T-owned news outlet and its rivals aren’t gong to present hours of impeachment coverage. They are. “We have plans in place for anything that could happen,” says Susan Zirinsky, president of CBS News.

Updated with schedules for Week 2 hearings: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will continue public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump for a second week beginning Tuesday. Last week’s three witnesses marked the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.
The House of Representatives is probing charges that Trump attempted to coerce Ukraine, a foreign government, to launch an investigation of political rival Joe Biden and his son. The hearings could wrap before the end of the year.
Like last week, cable networks are planning full-court coverage for scheduled hearings this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see the breakdown below). Most broadcast networks plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Deadline will also live-stream all the hearings this week.

Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine whose ouster is the backstory of the impeachment inquiry, did something that the previous witnesses did not: She got President Donald Trump’s attention.
As he tweeted against her, Democrats quickly accused the president of trying to intimidate a witness in real time.
Trump wrote, “Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.”
In a break from her dramatic testimony, commentators quickly seized on the implications of Trump’s tweet.
“That was a turning point in this hearing so far. She was already a sympathetic witness & the President’s tweet ripping her allowed Schiff to point it out real time characterizing it...

The House’s impeachment inquiry has given new importance to what is a part of the culture at the Capitol — the media stakeout.
As lawmakers meet behind closed doors in a House Intelligence Committee hearing room, a handful of reporters are waiting just outside the restricted space, anxious for any information on what is being said. C-span has started a regular feed on its website of this stakeout spot, located two floors down a spiral staircase in the underground Capitol Visitor Center.
Many of the images on cable news channels lately have been of reporters catching lawmakers in fleeting moments for comment, or even just a glimpse of an entering or exiting witness. But the relentless pace of the news cycle, with its ever-expanding scope of bombshells related to President Donald Trump, has placed new competitive pressure on journalists to break new details and gather reaction.
