some of the crucial undecided voters. is it still besides this election in those all important swing states? officials, thanks very much. and what you'll single you'll screen now is the 1st ad from the republican party, which is a democratic, uh uh, democrats ads, the attacking capital harris and the policies, policies on cost of living and immigration. definitely border control, which is something that will be focused on by the republicans as they focus their attention on couple of iris in the company as in days as a potential democratic presidential candidates vote. as in the united states have been reacting to biden's exit from the presidential race . these sites, the michigan said it needed happen. but think of how the democratic party would be and so i hope to see if there's

no nonsense, any input from all hers is going to be in front of me and think about how invigorated how much better it's crazy. i think that it probably needed to happen because he just wasn't meant to be there for a long time. so unfortunately, you know, it's one of those deals to where it probably was just a matter of time that it was going to happen. so yeah, that's what i go. i thought it was coming. i feel bad for a president. i mean, but he is he one years old? i can't imagine running for president 15 years from now when i would be $81.00. so it was coming but the bad for him, but this is what happens. moving forward is just called $2100.00 gmc that's 5 o'clock in the evening in washington, dc and unprecedented. but in american history. us president,

dr. bartons has dropped out of the 2020 full presidential race against donald trump . he's endorsed his running mate, vice president, capital harris, to take his place, his paws all the statements which is released at the last few hours. it has be the greatest all the to serve of my life to serve as your president. while it has been my intention to seek re election, i believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to spend down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my to white house correspondent, kimberly how it gets has more so even before he has sworn into office, most pools showed americans thought joe biden was too old to be president after a phonetic 4 years of donald trump. americans were exhausted and eager to slow things down. joseph robin advised you and you do solemn an elderly bite and seemed

like the solution at age 78. i've made history becoming the oldest us president within hours 5 and signed 17 executive orders to begin reversing trumps policies on everything from immigration to rejoining the paris climate accord. the age of president had early legislative success working with congress to give americans still struggling to recover from the corona virus pandemic, billions and financial release. a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill to improve roads, airports and bridges was also passed. but as time passed to lack the prison access, highly controlled presidential press conferences compared to other presidents, was notable that lack of accountability magnified as biden's foreign policy crises mounted. the us withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021. the russian invasion of

ukraine in 2022. the 2023 october 7th, tomas attack and israel's months long war on gaza. still whitehouse tried to portray biden's age and experience as his strength phases. i'm a president from until it became impossible to high rate president. lucy at a white house event in 2022 wide in search for a dead congress woman in the crowd. jackie here risk jack to make sure she was on the corner and his struggles to put together, even simple sentences became frequent and austin overshadowed his message. and so our military's work on following the advice of my commander in chief, my, my life of the chief of staff military. his physical decline in

public falls, occurred often at the g. 7 in italy for leaders were seeing, directing as even assisting the president as he became confused and began to wander off. but it was this june presidential debate against former us president donald trump. the finally exposed the true extent of president biden's decline. it was a bad night, we understand that it was a bad night and the president has spoken to this. the president struggled to maintain focus. the white house said he had a cold democratic supporters were buying it. it was tragic. i've had my hopes that bite and would make a good showing, and i support biden. and now i don't know what to think. 3 weeks later, a successful post natal press conference gave biden's campaign. the oxygen needed

to bounce back. right in, score and suggestions. his mental acuity was slipping. i'm a terminal and running for it. i think it's important and i real. i am a fears. i see. let them see me out here. take a look. what happens of the chapter, the sas, the nation of the former president, trump offered another opportunity to flood the dump bite in efforts the battle of president addressed the nation from the old law office appearing strong and presidential or so. then i then got sick. he just tested positive for cove it and senior democratic leaders made it public. it was time for bite into and his bid for another presidential term polls showed 65 percent of democratic supporters wanted by then dropped from the ticket. a cobit stricken by then finally abandoned his campaign. joe biden entered the white house at

a turbulent time. the country was in the midst of a deadly pandemic, and deeply divided after an attempt to stop him for becoming president. now, by the in leaves almost the same way he came in. kimberly help it out to 0. the white house, couple hours right to, to binds adults. been saying that she's all the gene tents and when the domination vitamin made a statement on the social media platform x, he said my very 1st decision does the policy, nobody in 2020 was to pick couple of harris says my vice president. and it's been the best decision i've made today. i was off of my full support adults that the counselor to be the number the for a potty, this, the democrats, it's time to come together and beat trump. let's do this. mike kind of reports the spot light is now shining brightly on cumberland harris. if you ins nomination

is candidates and defeats, donald trump in the election, she'd be the 1st female president of the united states should also be the 1st black woman, an asian american woman to hold the country's highest office. she broke one genta ceiling when joe biden off to be as vice president, picking the 2020 election, they went on to when we did it. so you're going to be the next president of the united states has pointed proudly to the historic nature of her appointment as vice president. but while i may be the 1st woman in this office, i will not be the last the because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. born in oakland, california, to jamaican an indian immigrant parents. she has

a long background of politics and public service. she began her career as a prosecute in the san francisco bay area in 1990, a democrats in 2004. she went to elected office at san francisco district attorney, paris, under reputation as a tough on crime, prosecute to, and was elected attorney general of california in 2010. because the time in that office was marked by some criminal justice reform and fighting civil rights violations by local police departments, just both cost in favor of same sex marriage and prosecuted online prostitution rings and violent criminal games. iris was elected to the us senate in 2016 with 60 percent of the boat, while serving in the senate. she opposed many of president donald trump's immigration policies. paris voted for trump's removal from office. during both of his impeachment trials. he bound to own run for the white house in 2020 but dropped

down to the race. early of the disappointing results. doing enough, though, for bite and to make up his vice president. in this position, harris was tossed with tackling the phone and issue of immigration, giving a trip to guatemala. she was criticized for some liberals, so as a harsh message, do not calm. do not come under relentless attack, strong opposition, republicans and the right wing news media power struggle 2 in one it's been public approval, although she remained popular with young voters and people of color in her run for re election. hire a sold to ready voters around issues of civil rights, excess to a portion and gun violence that we will not be defeated. we will not be deterred. we will not. our president biden's endorsement may

have made her pos to the nomination a lot easier. and as vice president, she would have access to all the funds raised by the biden harris campaign in the weeks to come. she'll have to deal with the polarized political climate crises abroad, economic consistency, and the presidential campaign all at once. mike kinda, i'll just say we're a washington to speak to a white house correspondent. kimberly how can you join us from washington d. c. kimberly, of obviously a fast moving story with so many moving parts of the payment that was a chit chat either with yourself or with that look fission. i forget who talking about the fact that the democratic national committee would be speaking to the buy in company, is this the next step that we should not be focusing on? yeah, exactly that. i mean, this is all despite the fact that we heard as early as sunday, that there would be potentially

a announcement from joe 5 and that he would be stepping aside from the top of the democratic tickets. the party is still in a bit of chaos right now is some of the side next steps. and so that's what we understand is happening right now. there is a call that is taking place between the democratic national committee and the 5 in harris campaign about next steps. right now there's a bit of a divide in the party about who should be at the top of the ticket. and there's also a bit of a discussion to take place on how that process should play out. and it's up to the party leaders in the democratic party to figure out a mechanism for doing just that. now, up until about 24 hours ago, we were still working with the assumption that the democratic national convention in august and starts august 19th. that would be essentially a coordination for jo by that that's no longer the case. now all of the delegates

that were won by job i did in the primaries that i should point out, that is that primary nominating contest the one virtually every state that all of those those delegates, it reflects the job. i didn't just automatically go to comma harris. she has to essentially win them over or they can choose wherever they want. so that is sort of a task that she has to work on. and so this is all essentially an open convention. she has to solidify the support of the delegates and also what's known as superdelegates. so this is very important then the other thing that has to happen is that she really needs to solidify kind of what her notice different factions within the party. we know she has some support of, of the, the congressional black cock to say the end of the sort of voters of color. but there are other factions within the party. she's going to have to win over. and that's what she says, interstate when she's for to be doing. i will do everything in my power to unite

the democratic party and unite our nation to defeat donald trump. so that's essentially what this call is about. it's not clear if she's on that call and it's not clear to buy them as long as i call. but i'm working right now to try and find out. well, just stop by kimberly, because we will say won't forget now to the full but us present bracket ball. the he's also issued a statement is once he said, all the social media platform x joe biden has to be one of america's most calls. the cultural presidents as well as the day friends and pop that to be today. we've also been reminded that again, he's a patriot of the highest order. so back to you can believe no mention of couple of harris the yeah, there was no mention of follow harris in that brock obama statement. there was no mention of cumberland harris being endorsed as a sort of passing of the torch by another prominent figure in the, in the democratic party this, the former house speaker, nancy pelosi,

who isn't just the former house speaker, who was the 1st female house speaker. we should also point out, but she's also she, when it comes to fund raising. and that's really important because elections in the united states are normally expensive. and so when it comes to having the endorsement of the person who makes eh, and generates a lot of money, you kind of want that. and the other person who is really good at that is for off obama. and so this is a bit of a problem, the fact that she has not got those endorsements. now, there are those that are out there that say that, look, she'll get them, don't worry about that. they're just hanging back for the moment. but, you know, momentum is every single, the fact that this hasn't come on the heels of brought us out a rather jo biden's announcement is important. it's deliberate, it's definitely choreographed and it is making a statement. it's just not clear what that statement is. is there somebody else

they want to bring forward? perhaps that is because they want to a t up somebody to run alongside comm law and those names are out there, potentially. gavin newsom, the governor of california is wretched. whitner in the state of michigan. the governor currently. oh it's, it's really unclear, but what is clear is it brock obama has as the former president had his hand in much of this for weeks, whether it was working with george clooney, the actor, and also philanthropist. when he was writing editorials, veneer time, saying that joe biden should step down whether it was nancy pelosi and her coordinated statement saying that joe biden was dragging down the party. these have all been carefully times and spaced out deliberately. and so the fact that they have put these statements out there and not endorsed cobbler is no accidents and keeping satisfied bicycles will uh, depend with you later as well as we get voted. use of the democratic voters have

been reacting to buttons exit from the presidential race. david strove, is every time re, a democratic basically he said by this decision is for the best the best. i didn't see him beating and so there will be entered just interesting to see how it all things hash out. looks like it's gonna be kind of the harris, which i'm fine with. but i just didn't feel like he was our best shot to, to be true. i'm still very frightened about what would happen if the truck gets re elected. and even if i were a, i started off in my younger days of republicans. and even if i was republican today, i don't think i could please just just the tip as well as executive editor of news, god a full but washington dc, managing editor for the chicago tribune, joins us now from the chicago. just want good to have you on the program. i just

thought to get your reaction very to what's happened over the last 2 hours. we're quite, we've had all the breath taken away. have you? you know, not at all. um, i think i'm little surprised that it took so long it was clear that the walls were caving in on by it. and since shortly after the seemingly disasters debate performance and when you had more and more elected democratic officials around the country, calling for him to step aside. i really only think it was a matter of time before the people around him. his, his wife jill, and his kids. and as 2 or 3 top um advisors agreed. and then this happened. remember, you've only got a month until a democratic convention. you only have in chicago, you only have 4 months till the, the actual election. and the democrats, indeed, whoever is at the top, the ticket are clearly trailing donald trump right now, in terms of the,

the previous test is now. so that will be left to the democrats. what do you think the votes as well to see tubs of how quickly the democratic nobody a such are the candidates of finalized. so the debate can really begin not just a full, but there's also a great deal of time. what do you all read is read is speak people you'll speaking to study in chicago? well the here as well. to be honest, we're in the middle of summer and vacation time for lots of american families with this inordinately long american vacation of 2 or 3 months after school was out. and i don't think a lot of people are a, are really focusing on the presidential election and to the extent that there are those who are, i think it's been quite clear for a long time that they have largely made up their minds. whether they like donald trump or don't like down trumpet, key matter now from a purely administrative and tactical standpoint is whether the democrats decide to

a quickly call a less around comma, la harris, and basically decide well before the convention, the cheese, the person, and make sure that nobody announces against or, or decide to have a more, you know, democratic, lowercase the event. and especially if there are people who want to run against or, and wait till i get to chicago. and then really have the 1st open convention sense and contest to come to the conventions. since the 19 sixty's, i suspect that you are going to see a lot more major problem and a democratic leaders as was the case with bill and hillary clinton, a couple of hours ago will come out for com. will harris, interestingly enough, former president brock obama, who as huge, sway in the party has not done that, at least not yet. now, did we be moving, analyzing that particular mission over the last hour or so? i was gonna ask him and he's, he's from illinois is he knows and holds a lot of sway in terms of the, the black folks and the, the minority votes,

a couple of hours has a lot of work to do. sometimes the vice president's position generally can be seen as an under study for our international view is how high profile has she beat across the us in terms of getting the message out about what she does as the vice president. as well, like most vice president, not particularly effective because of the media is mostly focusing on the president to the extent to which she has been associated with certain issues. and they are led by immigration. and that is not necessarily a suit for the democrats right now. and it's, it's quite clear and it's been reported that the donald trump camp has been preparing for a possible race against calm la harris. they've got, and so already mapped out. and probably 1st and foremost in targeting her will

be the issue of immigration and the belay, or belief that the buying policy has been a failure of the entire all. so i suspect to what has been a growing inflation in this country. and then finally, they will probably say, hey, where were you when everybody was pressing about the, the health of your boss, joe biden. so i think on those 3 matters, the immigration inflation and whether or not in some fashion, she was masking a larger reality about joe biden. the trunk folks already have their um, you know, their line of, of criticism prepared. james, what were that the executive editor of use called athletics. joining us from chicago is a good to have your insight. republican presidential candidate double trump post posted on his social media platform. truth socially says j 5 was not fit

to run for president. and it's certainly don't fit to serve all those around them, including his doctor knew. but he wasn't capable of being president ted wasn't. look what he's done to our country with millions of people coming across on the border. we will suffer greatly because of his presidency. a television is washington dc, following events for us at the baby to the coal salad. it's all for the to a certain extent about what the democratic national committee will be saying to the by the harris campaign. because this is very uncharted waters, isn't it? as well, the federal election commission that has already confirmed that a how to start president hasn't been launched with them. so that is not an entity that, that they could operate. what is interesting and i've mentioned this a couple of times, is the part allows between 1968. i know there's an unpopular war ongoing president has decided not in this case just because of the war. but today he's going to step

aside that happened with lyndon b johnson in 1968 when he made this the 40 minute address to the nation and in the last minute said, i will neither signal will i accept the nomination for president from the democratic party that opened up all sorts of fighting in the democratic party to the convention. and we ended up with the candidate being someone who didn't run in any of the primaries. it was 2 but humphrey who was actually l. v. j's vice president. and so that you can see the paddles there, the democrats will be hoping newest paddles. and because hubert humphrey good absolutely creamed by richard nixon in the general election. it was almost the land slide for the republican. no, many, certainly the republicans are going to go on the attack within the last half hour. we've seen them drop a campaign, not which attacks. campbell, how does it attack sir, on the grounds that she knew that joe biden was ill and didn't do anything ill in the fact that he wasn't fit to do the job?

and they also attacked for being the board doors and claiming that many, many people have come across the border is certainly something that we've had as you pointed out from donald trump and his own social media post. put democrats are saying, well, hold on a 2nd job, i did what was right for the country. he didn't go for past the glory of. he stepped aside from an election. that was the argument that he could have done it earlier, but he did that. whereas when donald trump was faced with the prospect of not being in office, he started january the 6th. so you can already see where the battle lines are going to be drawn over the next 34 months. the most important thing, of course, with the democrat, it is to agree on a candidate and given that was had from the congressional black caucus from the progressive caucus, from at least 8 senators from bill and hillary clinton and from joe biden himself. you can see that the democratic party is suddenly putting all their weight behind come law does, and it would be someone brave. and some would argue foolish to say hold on

a 2nd. i think i should run for this. if it was someone like given you, some are good to whittemore you just stop by for, by the time, because the trouble place i lie, the speaker of the house, mike jones said, says the republican policy could legally challenge the replacements of j 5 pieces button should reside, as president to these elections are handled at the state level. every state has its own system. and in some of these it's, it's not possible to simply just switch out a candidate who has been chosen through the democratic small deed, democratic process. over such a long period of time, 14000000 democrats voted to make joe biden to nominate. so it would be wrong and i think on lawful it in accordance to some of these states rules for a handful of people to go into the back room and switch it out because they're, they don't like the candidate any longer. that's not how this is supposed to work. so i think they would run into some legal impediments and at least a few of these jurisdictions. and i think uh they'll be a compelling case to be made that that shouldn't happen. and so i think they've got

legal trouble if that's there and you know, that's our intention and that's their plan. so let's just clarify exactly where the, the republicans have a point and we'll, as all, and depend the coals this well on the point that millions of people voted for joe biden to be the democratic presidential nominee. they have a point that's exactly what happened and they elected him to be the know many. do they have a point in court? well, it, none of the states have printed their balance at the moment because they will wait to find out who had gaines the nomination. and we, we always thought it might be biting, but who will gain the nomination at the convention? and that is for the democratic party and the democratic convention to the site. so if joe biden is no longer running, they can't make him run. you can't vote for someone who isn't running. and so it's up to the convention to say no, this is who a candidate is that then goes forward and the name is put on the ballot. will republicans challenge that?

of course, the will because it could cause embarrassment and difficulty for the democratic party. oddly likely to succeed, while according to one prominent democratic lawyer on the, on the x, there's no chance of that happening quite simply because it is up to the democrats to pick who they want to be president. and as i've already said in 1968, hubert humphrey running no primaries, but as a broker convention in chicago. in 1968, he was elected as the know many for the democratic party. i went forward to the general election the following november. so all of that was title still exist, but mark elias, who is this permanent constitutional lawyer knows a lot more about the constitution than i do. he says, yes, the republicans may well lord's legal efforts to try and not come a lot or disrupt the democrats. but it will have as much success as they did in 2020, when they challenged the election television,

the force of washington the calls are it will be speaking to you as the i was progress. thanks very much. i well, we haven't seen joe biden since he made the statement that he was quitting, but these are life pictures from the road leading up to the residence of the president and hope a beach in delaware. he's in quarantine at the top to testing positive the cove it 19 earlier in the week. let's bring him all guess. so let's dispense the professor political science. a doctor called the studies at john hopkins university's and minneapolis, minnesota, and clarence the same is a professor of political science at howard university. enjoys us from washington, dc less dispensed. walk into the probably ok. just begin with you. in terms of the unprecedented nature of what we're witnessing right now. yeah, so what a year these past 2 weeks of that. um, i think that there has been a number of concerns about buying,

expressed after the debate. and although the empirical literature and debates suggests that debates themselves don't necessarily generate a swing one way or another politically speaking, i think in this case the debate and coordination with other aspects related to concerns about bob's how have have led to this circumstance. so how we pulled, does it now that the democrats, you must a result, the difference is that all difference is to be resolved to move forward very quickly to the convention, which they hope to hold. it will august to choose that official presidential candidates as well. i, i think it's really important, but it's important to articulate why it's important. so it's not just important to find a candidate to center around the candidate so that trunk can be defeated. what we're

looking at in the united states case is an instance in which we've got to political parties. one political party is no longer committed to democracy as we understand it. and they're committed to what can be called like a racial author. terran isn't. so to that extent and then another party isn't committed to that and is committed to at the very least putting the united states on, on sounds butting domestically and internationally as it relates to democracy. under those circumstances is not just about finding a candidate who can be truck is finding a candidate and that can help sent to the party around what should have been its mission 4 years ago. and the do so pretty quickly is not about the feeding truck is about the feeding racial, outdoor terrorism, as expressed as expressed as it is expressed and of the republican party that's a far larger project. okay, less to your with us right now. stay with us because i want to bring in clarence

was a problem. how would you divest the joys to washington dc? would you agree that it's all about centering the policy right now and making sure that the aims of, of the policies are full years ago? continued to fly through whatever government the, the democrats come full, but they do when that's election in november. i. yes, i do. i totally agree with my of this really colleague doctor spends the heck for the democrats to really use an existential issue. whether or not, not only the party, but the country will continue on a path. how that would beneficial to the country is donald trump and america moving uh, take power to provide credit. he recognized that who was in a situation where a would virtually impossible for him to see a pass for the victory. now it's notable in this letter. he did not say he would be

dining because of some mental physical incapacity to both the friend to be recognizing offensively, reading the room and recognizing what the monthly cost for that his policies are popular. the democrats and what do up to be to keep over the last 4 years have been popular for to abide and not. so it really made comfortable that that he would step aside because those who are really is not only stopping maga from coming to power on the white house, but also because the congress, i bought the house in the city, i think become more employee today. and they were it hours ago because of job i just up and down. okay. let, let's though we know that the democratic national committee and the respondent campaign to talking about the next step forward, obviously because they need to try and find a way to smoothly take this to the convention in chicago in

a few weeks time. how important is it about what we're hearing those people that role? i'm not endorsing capital harris right now. is it all about endorsing, however, making sure it's a smooth transition to chicago, or is it as some of the previous speakers of set on? i'll just say a rest in these last few hours. that very open process is required both and one candidates should come forward so that the people outside of the convention center across the us can see a very clear and transparent vote as to who will represent the democrats at that presidential election question. what i'd say is that a kamala harris are kind of harris herself, has expressed some desire for car uh for an open process. the challenge is that that there, there is a sense,

a mom of a not insignificant, a number of democratic voters that any attempt to generate an open process in which the vice president harris is not the candidate would be read as would be read as racist. and it may be mobilized supporters. so i think the trick because open this really is really important. i think the trick is to kind of articulate or generate a process that can kind of what i would say is kind of naturally wouldn't be both open and, and generate a harris ticket. okay, that's possible. that's why i was, i just come to you finally because what's really interesting as well, you know, the race issue might be one that is raised. what we do day is the polling was suggesting that young people,

the use element of american society that all eligible eligible eligible pop me to vote. might just stay at home because they didn't seem to geriatric candidates says either a possibility or viable for that aspirations in a country that is always looking to develop and move on. how important do you think the use that will be of use though will be absolutely critical. so with that appalling, at our university, similar to other national poli, did show at about 2025 percent of black voters, said we're leaving for is donald trump. for when the question was asked of why people oppose to buy it, and it was the cause of a was it because of the policies? and so the democrats actually have an opening, the age issue is removed from the table. then you have a way of talking to young people that clearly disagreeing with is the policies, the democrats,

on everything from 2 laws to top opportunities to access the health care problem would you call me in. and the ridge of gray policies of the republican party. while the suspense in minneapolis in private is to say that in washington d. c. thanks so much gentleman for joining us here on to 0. thank you. now let's take a quick look back at what slide 2 buttons decision. his age and cognitive decline of taking center stage in recent weeks with manufacturing, it could cost his policy, the electrical, white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare hospital. even before he was sworn to to office most pools showed americans thought joe biden was too old to be president. after a phonetic 4 years of donald trump, americans were exhausted and eager to slow things down. joseph robin advised you and you do solemn an elderly bite and seemed like the solution at age

785 made history becoming the oldest us president. within hours 5 and sign 17 executive orders to begin reversing trumps policies on everything from immigration to rejoining the paris climate accord. the age of president had early legislative success working with congress to give americans still struggling to recover from the corona virus pandemic, billions and financial release. a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill to improve roads, airports and bridges was also passed. but as time passed, to lack of press access, highly controlled presidential press conferences compared to other presidents, was notable that lack of accountability magnified as biden's, foreign policy crises mounted us withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021. the russian

invasion of ukraine in 2022. the 2023 october 7th, tomas attacks and israel's months long war on gaza. still whitehouse tried to portray biden's age and experience as his strength phases. i'm a president from until it became impossible to high resolution at a white house event in 2020, to live in search for a did congress woman in the crowd, jackie here rich jack? as did she write, she was across the board and his struggles to put together even simple sentences became frequent and often overshadowed his message. and so our militaries were on following the advice of my commander in chief, my, my life, the chief of staff of military his physical decline in public falls occurred

often at the g 7 in italy, for leaders we're seeing directing as even assisting the president as he became confused and began to wander off. but it was this june presidential debate against former us president donald trump. the finally expose the true extent of president biden's decline. it was a bad night, we understand that it was a bad night. and the president has spoken to this, the president struggled to maintain focus, the white house that he had a cold democratic supporters weren't buying it. it was tragic. i've had my hopes that bite and would make a good showing, and i support biden. and now i don't know what to think. weeks later, a successful post natal press conference gave biden's campaign. the oxygen needed

to bounce back. i didn't score and suggestions, his mental acuity was slipping. i'm the terminal and running for it. i think it's important and i real, i am a fears. i see. let them see me out here. take a look. what happens to do this? as a nation of the former president, trump offered another opportunity to let the dump bite in efforts the battle of president addressed the nation from the old law office appearing strong and presidential or so. then i then got sick. he just tested positive for cove it and senior democratic leaders made it public. it was time for bite into and his bid for another presidential term polls showed 65 percent of democratic supporters wanted by then dropped from the ticket. a cobit stricken by then finally abandoned his campaign. joe biden entered the white house at

a turbulent time. the country was in the midst of a deadly pandemic, and deeply divided after an attempt to stop him for becoming president. now 5 and leaves almost the same way he came in. kimberly help it out to 0, the white house. but if you're just joining us here, although to 0, continuing coverage of j bite and stepping down from the us presidential race. we have other trick reactions from around the world that we have teams that correspondence covering these developments. how does salute this, hey, with me in doha, we've actually from the middle east poll, reese is in london with the latest on how the news is being received in europe. usually a shop of oliver is standing by for us and must go with the light, is rapture from the lot in america editor, lucy and human is on to you. okay, with the reaction from the consulate, let's go to europe and london. a new sense of the full weeks of standing by obviously it's late evening that for most of you repeatedly, it is lead us to be reacting who is talking at the moment pull as well. so

highlight does say might be press sides also that you are paying late as well, a little bit slow at to interrupt that bosses on a sunday night someone. the statements came through, they were fairly carefully worded with the upcoming, your selection. a pivotal moment for the us is place in the world and potentially for the vulnerability of your, of, of padre sanchez, of spain was one of the more recent statements to be released. the cold biden's decision, a great suggestion from a great presidents, as citing biden support for ukraine against russia. the german chancellor, olaf schultz, and set that thanks to biden transatlantic cooperation was very strong. i'm the nate's. i was strong about lots to issue, a very important issue for your up in the us selection. if donald trump uh, gets selected, he has been far more nato skeptics on the democrats of bass. and the

british prime minister kissed alma recently elected himself released to some more bold statements. so saying he respected the decision, we made a more from him at downing straight tomorrow, various other leaders waiting and as well. one leader we haven't heard from yet is present a manual macro, a friend's my cross coast coming of the back of his army fairly disastrous election . and his preparations for friends is hosting a bay lympics next week. full thanks so much for the update for beloved the. let's go save it now to you the shop of all about his tongue buying the russian capital. julia. obviously, moscow being very well would be watching very key. lee, who's leading america the greatest adversary? the whole absolutely,

of course we do receive some reaction from the crumbling so 1st and foremost crumbling, sparks passing. demetrius called co, menacing on violence withdrawal from the res has said that russia's priority is achieving the goals of the special miniature corporation. and you'd frame, i know the results of the selections at the same time has noticed that there is still a long time before the elections in the united states. and a look can change and pull some of this period of time. also russian foreign ministry. speaker marie is a har, what has said that an investigation is now needed into the conspiracy, as she said, of the american media and political circles who hides him from her point of view. the true state of affairs regarding biden's, mental states, as they were, manipulates a public opinion on playing alone with just one political policy. those were the words of murray is a har also according to russia's low house of parliament speaker state do misspeak

of which slots the load in us president joe biden should be held accountable for sanctions against russia. the conflicts in ukraine as well as for the destruction of b, e. u. economy. so according to below, due by that it has created problems all over the world and in his country as well. and another state do meant every t, v i need slootsky has said the blind and will go down in history as the main, a sponsor of the terrorist regime in ukraine. those were the direct speech of that mind. and his administration actually stops, has become fits in ukraine. and also we're hearing some voices say, basically genuine voice here is that nothing is going to change with a bite as withdrawal from the res. because his administration, if it stays in the white house, will continue supporting ukraine, will continue supplying weapons to ukraine. and also one of the most prominent of chung voice is also has said that uh the us industrial uh,

the us minister miniature industrial complex doesn't really care whether to finance ukraine or any other country because they actually don't have all those countries. all they need. they need those countries to buy weapons from them. so obviously, the relationship between the us and russia have recently been of historic love. but despite the old present bludgeon and paints, and has many times said that russia will work with any person in the white house. and uh, actually back in february, uh this, yeah, it has said that the car in to us present, joe biden was, that's up for russia then. don't know, trump because a binding was more predictable. he said that bided was a more experienced and predicts will pass. and he's a politician of the old formation, but russia would work with any us leave that who the american people trusted and, and also in the past couple of months versus new defense minutes down on trade below we sit, has had at least 3 telephone conversations with us secretary of defense,

lloyd austin, and basically they were trying to highlight, he was trying to highlight the danger of the escalation of the situation in connection with the ongoing supply of american weapons to be forces of ukraine. so basically i also earlier this week, donald trump and he's interviewed with bloomberg reiterated that he had a good relationship with the legend page and that there was no sweat to boil during the time when he was president. but the kremlin on that so responded on that a to that is it crediting recalls that under donald trump sanctions were imposed against russia. so basically what is going on, we just have to wait and see because there are so many developments and west coast monitoring all of them here and most great, great, either shallow, triple volleyball. that's what i said most good, thank you. that's cool. so eva, to lots of america, and i'll edit to the, let's see,

have you been standing by in santiago, how's the news being received the way you are? or was so far, uh, as opposed to russia and europe. we're not hearing anything from any of the leaders . none of the heads of states are speaking. however, social networks, political tendons, members of congress and are talking a lot and i could sum it up as a sigh of relief that president biden has decided to stand down for a 2nd term in that. and the reason is quite simple. he is not seen or has not been seen in this part of the world as electable since that a very, very flawed presidential debate. and so that, that is the real, a priority for most people in latin america. most of the heads of state as well, with the exception i would say of the president of argentina they see present in trump for another administration with president trump, us something that will not go down well in this region that will hurt the economy

because of fears. that they will be increased terrace for exports from this region . they see trump also it was a man who is extremely, is an a public anti migrant. and also somebody who could this stabilize the already shaky world global world situation right now. and so there was never any love lost really. this is for context with president trump when he was in office the last time visa, the latin america as a whole. and so there, there wasn't really much enthusiasm for his re election. now. what will happen next? who could replace a joe biden as the candidate of the democrats from this, from this part of the world. it doesn't seem to really matter so much. it's more unusual of having a candidate that is able to defeat donald trump at the polls. and that is really what we're hearing everywhere in this region right now. probably we will hear more from the actual president's on monday is

a sunday here. the governments are usually quiet unless it's a real big emergency. but uh, in all, as i say a, this is a considered good news for the majority of people who've been watching with a lot of anxiety. what was going on in the united states with the election and with the candidacy, the of the adobe side and the president. lots of america added to that lucy due, but in santiago, thanks lucille as well to to be here is how desolate who will use updates on what's going on in the middle east. of course, the closest online to the us is israel here in the region. any was coming out from tel aviv what we have heard from israel's president isaac hertzog, who wanted to thank joe biden for what he called friendship instead fast support of israel. it went on to say as the 1st us president, to visit his role in war time as a recipient of these really presidential matter of honor and as a true ally of the jewish people, joe biden is

a symbol of the unbreakable bond between the 2 people and we also heard from israel's defense minister jo of kalonde. he's the 1st person who we've heard from israel's coalition. we haven't yet heard from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, but he'll go on stressed the thankfulness for the support. the joe biden has given israel throughout the time of israel's war on gauze whether that be support v, a weapon support on the phone with many phone calls with these leaders. but you have to remember that members of the far right government, members of ness and young zone coalition, people who are known, alter nationalists, have previously said that they were waiting for trump back in november. so when we hear from them, it won't really be a surprise that they are happy about this kind of decision. but it's also worth mentioning that whoever the leader is and israel's, the policy will not change the america is really relationship in terms of geo politics. has been quite solidified. so in terms of how the war will be prosecuted

in the future, whoever the nominee will be that will remain the same. and thanks very much for the update, of course, will follow events coming out with at least with you as the hours progress a lot. but to get these i sold that democrats states editorials, colorado joys is not for washington dc specifics. case could help you with the sell the product again, usa gun talking earlier about a much more open, transparent convention in august as the democrats guys are. how important is that despite old endorsements, the couple of hours is guessing right now? well 1st of all, i want to say that it has come to here since the nominate, i'll be happy with that. i'll be very supportive of that. i just think we are, we have a much more opp or a greater opportunity to excite the american public about a democratic view for the future without a sort of an a nor much. and so i'd like to see and that would be an organ anyone.

so, so i'd like to see a more open convention is that when i say that is not a, a, a bid for a chaos on that all. to be a candidate at the convention, you'd have to have 3. a candidate would have to get 300 delegates to sign their petition, and they could only get 50 delegates from their one state. so if they come from a large state, they can't just accumulate a large number of delegates from their state. so there's a system in place to deal with that situation of having a more open convention. i think it would be exciting, i think would drive donald trump absolutely bonkers. he would know that people are watching the democratic convention watching an open convention. i'm watching the people who, who are there make the selection be excited about it, because the challenge for any of those people running would be to show a vision for the future. and i think they would all be considerably younger than

joe biden. and certainly donald trump, and i think that victim did they would give, would be done immeasurably opposed to the trump vision. okay. but sometimes they want to just send that because we have very little time is we come towards the top of the we are we reset ourselves because the other thing that's for you pulled does you just mentioned, is that not just the use scenario, then the youth change the attraction to for young people to come in both. but it's also the generational change, something that lots of people of the jetta in the democratic party have been getting full. it might have come into it a strange scenario. but 2 things are happening all at once. you've got generational change of about to young, got potential leader. exactly, exactly, and i think that's good. i think joe biden present by and realize that. and i think it has, he has to be committed to that decision. it does give us a wonderful opportunity to set this vision, a new version, a new generational version for the united states of america. and i'd like to see us

have an open convention to do that. one thing that was very important and has been brought up by several contributors of the last couple of hours is the vote from the the youth vote that might have stayed at home in states such as wisconsin, michigan, illinois, a possibly either way you are in north carolina, how important will that sort of either use vote or sitting on the fence vote to be now to both parties. the one thing is this election as close as it was in 2020 as close as i think it will be this time. i think every part of the, of the electorate is important. i'm not so set on the useful because young people don't tend to vote as heavily as, as others day. so certainly we want to encourage them as much as we can. and that's where the vision comes in, and that's where if you see a canada who's in their forties or, or, or early fifties, and they can address that, they will bring in,

not just the use felt they'll bring in their own age. but they'll bring in the the baby boomers because it baby boomers have what a vision to they want a vision for the children, the grandchildren. so i think that's the most important thing to address. in a big, quickly when one of your previous speakers brought up a very legitimate board, but they want to be sure if it's not calmer hair, so that is a crop come across as races. that's a very important point. however, there are other candidates who might decided to jump in. it may be corey book or new jersey. it may be westmore, a maryland. there are other people. yeah. i mean it's just, most campbell harris is not accept. it does not mean that as a racist decision making, it doesn't say what does happen the clock pipes. okay, thanks so much for joining us from washington dc. 2 months and this call. so we can take you straight over to where the vice president is going to be president in washington dc. we're following that same, just be on that sign that in us. and you are watching out desirable coverage of j

biden's not spending for the presidency coming to the pianist who was in irving. my name is tyler. i was abducted by the c. i a, in 2004, a german citizen was kidnapped and tortured by to see the chain of lead time comes into integrity from a powerful documentary tells the story of how the geo politics of the post 911 when we were in the life of an in this bill, my suitcase phone, which is here. the shuffled tied to the g dash 3 pipes nationwide, but ty cobb part or to get in day the

day. but i did. gosh, and i get bought a lawn stay. they show up on the block. i'm 20 the for mission to find the n e y gosh, who to go to avalon, stay ne governments. it costs good. you how motor cars, very low quality carfax, the guy i ever just need a note, but i like, i should agree. i a flash that was actually shot, but i'll try to put in the shop guys hiding. gosh, good, i'm going to go shop those had been go scrolling,

the mazda was running, my god, the protected poplar, the us clear to our modern was we want to cause is to of them those who to levels quote, to buy the, [000:00:00;00] the, come on. so robin, you're watching, i'll just say it's 2200 hours at 6 o'clock in the evening in washington dc. i'm a pivotal moment in american history. us president joe biden has dropped out of the 2020 full presidential race against donald trump. he's endorsed his running mate, vice president campbell of harris to take his place. is a decision that throws the entire 2020 full presidential race and the debit classic

policy into chaos and disarray. in the last few hours, harris has praise bye since decision and probably she'll win the nomination and
