The Political Junkie Ken Rudin joins Insight to discuss California Gov. Gavin Newsom's trip to El Salvador this weekend, where he intended to display the difference between himself and President Donald Trump.

Newsom and his delegation are in the country to explore the roots of the waves of migration from Central America to the U.S. While there, he will meet with politicians and humanitarian groups.

We'll also discuss former Vice President Joe Biden’s still-unofficial bid for the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary, and the challenges he faces with multiple women, including former Nevada lawmaker Lucy Flores, accusing him of inappropriate contact.

Biden posted a video on social media last week saying that he would be "more mindful" about people's personal space moving forward, but then made multiple jokes about the incident at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers event on Friday.

Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts
