TAPPER: The "MONEY LEAD" now. You know, I'm old enough to remember when Republicans raged against the deficit and President Trump promised to wipe it out when he was running for office and just Mr. Trump. Well, now, President Trump's own White House is projecting that the federal deficit will surpass $1 trillion this year. This would be the first time the federal deficit had that many zeros on its end since the nation was recovering from the great recession. A much different time from the stellar economy that President Trump likes to brag about today. There is a big moment coming up. CNN's Wolf Blitzer is going to reveal which candidates will make the cut to participate in CNN's two Democratic Presidential Debates. And then tomorrow you could find out who is going to face-off against who and when in that two-night event. You can watch The Draw for the CNN Democratic Debates. That's tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. But until then, stick around and watch Wolf tell you who's made the stage. You can follow me on Facebook, and Instagram, and Twitter @JAKETAPPER or you can tweet the show @THELEADCNN. Our coverage on CNN continues right now. Thank you so much for watching. We'll see you tomorrow.
W.H. Projects $1 Trillion Deficit For 2019.
