[000:00:00;00] the historic moment to us president joe biden drops on to the 2024 election race, leaving the democratic party in the survey. the general on elizabeth brown and this is ours, is a live from dog ha. and so coming up fine and has endorsed his vice president come to the house has promised to win the nomination and beat donald trump. republican presidential candidate donald trump says biden was never fit to run for president. and kind of the house was even less competent,

plus the discovery rates will add a black woman to be president over convicted felon from dc to del, away american versus way in on how they think the race has changed. the, it's through gmc 11 pm and washington off to heather today in american history. us president joe biden has dropped down to the 2024 presidential race against donald trump. he's endorsed wise president carmella harris to take his place. so have over a 100 congressional democrats. this is the seen live the white house now. but adams decision has thrown the entire 2020 full presidential race and the democratic policy and decalle some confusion on whitehouse cost onto the company. how it gets

begins coverage, or after days of isolation, recovering from cove it and deliver ration, consulting with his family, and a handful of friends. us president joe biden made his historic announcement on acts . he'll no longer seek the democratic nomination for president. i believe it's in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. i was so deeply moved by the presence, powerful and poignant statements which was truly courageous and visionary present by them has been one of the the greatest most courageous and consequential presence of american history. the calls for by then to drop his bid for

a 2nd term exploded last month after what many critics described as a disaster as debate performance against former us president donald trump stepping down live in immediately endorse vice president comma la harris to be the democratic nominee harris responded, saying, i'm honored to have the president's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. commer harris is the easiest pick based on the back to the vice president. and i think it would be tough for the party to try to go a different direction than that his performance was, has been debacle. i think that it made the public very nervous. the democratic national convention is just a month away by didn't had secured the most delegates to win the parties. nomination was bite and gone. those delegates still automatically passed to harris

. it's now what's known as an open convention with delegates free to support the candidates of their choice. harris already has 2 powerful endorsements for were you as president, bill clinton and former 1st lady, and the 1st female nominee for president hillary clinton. but for us, president brock, obama and former 1st lady michelle obama have not endorsed harris. in his statement, obama writes the party will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. republicans are threatening to challenge still biden's decision to step down. they argue a president no longer fit to be, the nominee should also no longer be running the country. kimberly health is elda 0. the white house, and that's bringing that correspondence. kristen salumi, she's joining us live from new york. it's a fast moving story. kristen just bring us up to speed with who has come out and

supposed was coming to harrison who's been noticeably sign and sofa as well. we are seeing a lot of democrats tried to rally around vice president comma harris, and declaring their support and recent hours. many of the state party leaders and some state delegations have come out in favor of her and thrown their sort port behind her states like kentucky and tennessee, saying that their delegates are ready to get behind her, as was requested by president joe biden. we've also seen a transportation secretary put a judge who themselves ran for president in the last election going behind commer harris senators like elizabeth warren, who also ran for president in 2020 backing harris, a former president clinton,

hillary clinton also backing her again. this attempt to show growing support in unity by some in the party, but with some notable exceptions, people like the former president, brock obama, who had expressed his thanks to joe biden, for stepping down and doing what was right for the country, but not going as far as endorsing harris at this time. also senator chuck schumer, he from here in new york where i am very important leader of the party has not formally come out and endorsed harris yet as well. and of course, with all of this happening in the democratic party attempting to get its affairs in order. you have the republicans coming out in going on the attack already putting out attack ads, taking on harris and her record that they are contending with as well. and certainly we can expect a lot more of that in the lead up to the not just the election, but the democratic national convention that's taking place next month in chicago. what else are we expecting?

kristen as well. i think the key question in the coming days is going to be will harris continue to get endorsements and gain and rack up more supporters? will they get behind her or will these attacks by the republicans take some steam out of her way for where and who will be her vice president is something that people will be looking to see was certainly seen a support coming towards her from people who band room or to be in the running as a running mate for her. a or even as a potential challenge or to harris, people like got a new some of the governor of california, the governor of pennsylvania. josh shapiro, a to people who been rumored to be more centrist democrats that could help get independent candidates to are independent voters, to lean more democrats, something that they're going to need if they're actually going to win this election

against donald trump come november. kristen, thank you. very much for that for now. that's kristen saluted me with the lasers. she's lived in new york while voters across the us have been waiting and on biden's decision. let's hear from let's hear some more reactions this time from washington dc. i know that women can read absolutely. i will support her if she is. and i mean, i wonder if she would be chosen. i think the party needs to think about who can successfully when and is which country i'll put it bluntly is this country res will at a black woman to be president over convicted felon having a little bit of youth with actually go a long way. you know, president trump, uh president trump the 78th and our current president, 81. so um, yeah,

i actually think that age limit terms would be on the other side as well. cuz i think that obviously it's a little bit more complicated and you know, uh, you know, all of us them, as we get older, you know, obviously natural things started occurring. uminski is the executive director of progressive democrats of america, and he's joining us live from los angeles in california. thank you very much for your time. so come to harris said she intends to win. and in the nomination, does that mean she's welcoming an open democratic convention? next month, as well, you know, progressive democrats of america, we've had many, many of our members be delegates in reason conventions. we know the rules very well . and once a candidate who has won the delegates through the primary system like president biden has this year, he releases his delegates. it's effectively an open convention. there's no other way to avoid the opportunity of other candidates to see the nomination. they would

have to collect over $300.00 signatures from the already elected delegates. and so it's only that pool of elected delegates, in fact, no superdelegates in the 1st ballot showing the pool of elected delegates from all the states and the country will be voting to determine the next nominee. and so is the fact that we an open, it's an open convention. it's an open process. now the one detail from across the day that i have not had adequately clarified is whether that roll call vote will officially take place at the convention in chicago. or if it's still going to be in the 1st week of august sometime, and i think it could be one or the other. that is the one detail i haven't had clarified yet. okay. if we look at who's endorsed coming harris, i saw, are there any surprises for you? how significant as an endorsement from someone like california dominic avenue some for example, who many salt co door should be the democratic nominee himself as well. i'm talking to you from los angeles,

and of course the you were talking about 2 of the most powerful figures in contemporary california politics. commenters was the attorney general of california given you some courses the governor. and yes, it is important. it is also important that seemingly all of the names who were mentioned high profile names of people who would have a chance of getting all the signatures necessary to challenge for the nomination. people like avenue some, gretchen with them or governor shapiro from pennsylvania and a number of other problem. the democrats have come out and endorsed council errors . so right now this really i noticed that you were saying this was a day of chaos and the democratic party and of course yes for awhile, but it really was a day of very, very strong consolidation around commer harris. and right now the table was set for her to cruise to the nomination. there are in many, many statewide delegate teams that are meeting tonight or, or have already met. and they have announced unanimous support for counsel harris.

many of the states that have met and, and we have all 50 heads of the state, democratic parties have announced their endorsement for time layers. so unless something trips this up, we are pretty much going to a very smooth nominating process in which vice president harris will be the presidential nominee, the democratic party, a yeah, that's a really important point that you're making that may seem chaos like that. it certainly has seen a lot of consolidation in the democratic party. what about those who haven't endorsed a senior democrats like the full, the house big and nancy pelosi, senate majority and data talk stream. i came jeffries. you're saying that it looks like coming to house is going to cruise to the nomination. is it important? is it there? is there a possibility that they haven't endorsed it because they don't want it to look like she is cruising that she is being that it's just being handed to again, there he has to figure that you have to be a pretty, a means prominent democrat to be able to go into this pool of delegates,

who after all were about 85 and 90 percent elected to be joe biden. delegates the convention go in and ask them to sign. you're in. the collect signatures is over 300 needed from a pool about 3900 delegates. so you have to be a powerful demo, the democrat to be able to go into that pool and get signatures. as far as i know, all the names that really were being mentioned to challenge harris and we're seeing as possible challenges have already announced their support for her. so it's a fate seems to be a paid a complete at this point. now i do think one of those things, it's true about the people who are holding out their endorsement. i don't think it's technically unwise. in fact, i think it's, it's quite a sure and move because 2 things could yes happen. i mean, there could be, and i am not saying that this is likely, in fact, i think it's very unlikely that there could be, say, a bad media appearance in the other thing could be bad poll numbers in the next week. again, both things i think are unlikely. i think there's going to be a so called honeymoon for complet harris is a candidate i imagined her pulled numbers will go up quite significantly. in

particular, you have to remember that for months, going back when the american public was asked about this, again, the concepts, the re match between biden and trump, the majority position was dissatisfaction with the choices people wanted. another choice i think was going to be a lot of relief that probably will extend to independence against the honeymoon period for the candidate. so i don't really expect there to be those kind of things that could trip up a candidate terrace. but it is still shrewd to leave you with it, let it be known that not all of the democratic powers that be, are fully sourcing. and therefore, when you get to the convention, there could possibly be a window open for reversal. okay? actually if you're facing birth control numbers, i'm mr. menissi. just briefly, we heard from someone a little bit earlier, just an, an american bar who was saying that this has a moment to see whether, you know, can a black woman be a convicted felon? do you think that america is they? yes. oh absolutely. yes,

absolutely. um i think that uh uh yes, i think we, we are at the moment you know, to speak and i think were poised to uh, again we'll see how the campaign goes. but again, i but certainly our organization, we work very hard to see donald trump be defeated and support kind of layers. but i think we're on the cusp of seeing the 1st building. i've called the president and the 1st one in president district, united, the best investigate country is really, it's been really great to get your, your insights, your expertise, all of us. we really appreciate that alan minsky live in los angeles, california. thank you. why the republican presidential candidate donald trump has posted on his social media platform truth social. he says joe biden was not fit to run for president and especially not fit to serve all those around him, including his doctor, knew that he wasn't capable of being president. and he wasn't. look what he has done to our country with millions of people coming across the board to we will

suffer greatly because of his presidency. well and fisher was in washington dc and says the republicans will have to change tactics. this couple of harris is to become the democratic presidential candidate, as i'm hearing from some republicans that they're going to in american terms, flooding the zone, which means essentially they're going to go on all low to attack against come low, highest to try and disable hard at a very early stage, they want to attack cars that are going to tire to problems at the board. the going to say she knew about joe biden's decline in his condition and did nothing about it . and they're going to say that the problems with a emigration and inflation can also be traced to the bite and hottest white house. and they're going to spend a lot of money doing this and doing it very quickly. but i'm also hearing that the democrats have raised their own $75000000.00 since the a nice meant that joe biden was going to step down. so we're going to see a lot of political lads, a lot of postering and a lot of talking. they're going to try and stop,

come to how does before her campaign even begins to ignite across the country. but of course, we're 4 months away from the election. and that's expensive. and at the moment, the republicans on raising that sort of money miss wayne states, donald trump had to lead and that lead was increasing. however, if it comes to how does up against fuel bite and, and then that's a completely different. so you put, come louder is up against donald trump. that's a completely different equation. she starts to tie and in some cases, even leave. i mean, those polls the effectively told joe by them he had to get out of the race. because not only was he behind in swing states, but he was behind in states like virginia, a new mexico states that the democrats expected to win and did not expect to spend any money fighting. those states essentially jo bites was passed to the presidents . they went from there to there. it disappeared, not quite overnight, but certainly in the last 3 weeks since that terrible debate performance. and so what the democrats will be hoping is that couple of hours will open up that path

will be able to push forward. she will get the nomination from the convention in chicago next month, and then we'll spend 3 months it's on the campaign trail and certainly from what we're seeing. it looks as if a lot of big name endorsements are flying behind. and it would really speaking to one democrats, but it would be political suicide for anyone to go up against her at the moment. this is really going to be the coordination of come up to become a lot us. and she is going to, more than likely be the nomination to the head on knowledge and say, or i would have the basis from the middle east, europe. and i last in america as the world reacts to biden's decision to stay with us the the

hi lo, there may be the stock of a new week in north america, but last week's weather patton is following us in some monday we've got that dangerous hates continuing for western parts of the us in the western canada as well, with temperatures and british columbia. touching up into the 40s, it's not as hot in alberta but calgary, sing the longest spell of high temperatures in about a century. and if we have a look, we'll see those moments is continuing to rise and mercury up through to wedding stay well above the average with excessive heat and poor quality from those wild fires in the wild fires. threats continues from the pacific northwest. lots of hot and dry weather that on choose day a little bit west. so for the desert, south west, but still very high temperatures here just on down. however, on the east coast of the us, the weather takes the whole, bringing no storms across the great lakes on choose day, some west to weather as well. touching old way down into texas. we have got some flood warnings here,

and bus of heavy rain are expected to continue for the bahamas, coming in to eastern pots of cuba as we go into choose day for mexico, we bought some live the showers, but also move in the way of some sony spells by the middle of the week actually weather, update. the with americans more divided than ever. are we watching the end of the american era? the us wants to keep the war and ukraine going until russia's will is broken. but is that strategy working? what to do if there is no date after in israel's war on causes the quizzical look good us politics. the bottom line, hearing that they don't want it is there's definitely being displaced makes it comes and not being able to get access to food out as the regions across the world . bring you closer to the house of the story.

the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching. i'll just say i have a me elizabeth put on them. and uh huh. rolanda, yvonne, top story this, our us president job item has dropped down to the 2020 full presidential race against donald trump. he says he'll focus on fulfilling his duties as president for the remainder of his to biden's being put to angel's wife's president come of the house to one in his place. she's also had the support of chief seasick as including california governor gavin newsome was a potential revival republicans. on the other hand, had been put to the terrace. the trump campaign released a video disparaging some political rank for trump himself as

a vice presidential beach, easier to beat than by that and what's his name? while the democratic national convention is set to kick off on august 19th, it was long till the 22nd. and that's where the policy will make the final decision on the nominee. as my kind of reports come of the houses road to secure and the nomination, one be easy on the spot. light is now shining brightly on cumberland, harris. president biden's endorsements may make a path to the democratic party nomination a lot easier, but they are still many hurdles in who way. former president, bill clinton has endorsed us party candidates, along with some of the former colleagues on the senate. but for my president obama, i made no mention of kamala harris and his statement reacting to president biden's decision to step down. instead, he said we will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. but i have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of potty will be able to create

a process from which an outstanding no many images. there's also be no immediate endorsement from the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, the house minority leader, hakeem jeffries or the former speak up the house, and nancy pelosi cumberland harris broke one gender ceiling when joe biden auster to be, as vice president, picking the 2020 election going on to become the 1st female to hold the office. oh, it always did it. so you're getting a really nice president of the united states. hi, iris pointed probably to the historic nature of the appointment as vice president. 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. as vice president iris was tossed tackling the sony

issue of immigration, giving a trip to guatemala, she was criticized for some liberal so as a harsh message. do not do not come under relentless attacks from opposition, republicans and the right we can use media. harris struggled wouldn't widespread public approval, although she remains popular with young voters and people of color, i going to run for re election power. so to really voters around issues of civil rights, excess to abortion, and gun violence. we will not be defeated. we will not be deterred. we will not come supporters with quick to go when attack posting video accusing who of creating what is described as

a folder invasion and runaway inflation lation. paris itself released the statement thinking president biden for his leadership and accepting his endorsement as candidates. we have a 107 days until election day. she concludes. together we will fight and together we will win california georgie, win the nomination and defeat donald trump in the election. the door, twelf, jamaican, an indian immigrant parents would become the 2nd, the black president of the united states and the 1st woman to hold the office. mike, kind of out just the era washington, dan ronan as a former spokesman for the republican national committee, and he says, republicans will now be less session of a trump victory school. everyone woke up this morning. it was a foregone conclusion that donald trump was going to win this election in november . and this causes a bit of a reset on that. i was up in the walk for the republican convention last week. its

the 5th one i've been to and i don't know if i've ever left a convention where people were more optimistic about their chances of winning. i think that wasn't just the republicans in milwaukee. i think it was political handicapper. it's around the world. and now we have to look at the new dynamics. this is no longer president trump versus president by the as a new on and, and it's certainly a. ready that's going to be vice president. here's the vice presidential pick that could have an awful lot to do with the calculus of the campaign because we'll have to see from what state does the vice presidential candidate. com. a lot of the names are we're hearing our from battleground states. mark kelley from arizona, joshua bureau from pennsylvania, rory cooper from north carolina. those are all states that are going to determine the outcome of the election. so a very big issue, the vice president harris is going to have to speak to, and that is, how long is the president been incapable of doing his job? and if he isn't capable of being on the campaign trail, can he remain as commander in chief?

i, i think it's a very fair question to be asked. and again, i think of something that we'll talk to the vice president through this campaign. the country saw president biden go out. ready debate when his campaign ended 3 thursdays ago and were stung by what they saw. a vice president harris is in regular contact with the president. when did she see this diminished capacity? it's going to be a stallion hershey through the entire campaign. one of the tracking reactions to the story from around the world correspondence of following developments. and that leads to europe. latin america. first, let's hear from home the son who us but we haven't heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu, which is interesting considering that he's supposed to fly to washington on monday and then meet with us presidential binding on tuesday. but we have heard from the countries president isaac heard song to emphasize that joe biden was the only us

president to visit israel at war time. and that he also wanted to thank president joe biden for his support for israel. additionally, we heard from the defense ministry of, of kalonde, who did say that joe biden support for israel during this current war on garza is something that is quote, in valuable. we do know that biden has been supporting israel and how they've been prosecuting this war. whether it's through weapons or moral support, constantly speaking with is really leaders throughout it. and it's kind of become unpopular for him back at home, where the war has become such a controversial issue in terms of a change in policy. look, the united states as a whole has had a policy when it comes to israel, their, their biggest ally in the middle east. the americans say they are preserving american interest abroad, which is why this relationship is so strong. so no matter who is on the democratic ticket and no matter who eventually is the united states president, the support for israel is going to remain the same. but i want to point to

something that members of nathaniel whose own government have said months ago when they didn't agree with the decisions that joe biden was making when it came to the war, saying that he wasn't supporting is real enough. now these are known, alter nationals. these are members of the far right camp. settlers themselves who have said that they're waiting for trump in november because they are going to have essentially a free pass to do whatever they want. the weather ends up contesting at the coming . your selection could be pivotal for the security situation in europe. and the nice person in statement on that school was one of the last ones to come through from europe's lead as president for them is a let's give you crane writing that ukraine was grateful for biden's unwavering support in the struggle against russia. and i'm the bind policies on support in the united states. i was thankful for bite and supporting you cried during the most

dramatic moments in its history. i'm hoping the americas continued support and leadership will prevent russian aggression from paying off like price providing them perhaps a veiled appeal to trump and the republicans if they happen to win the election elsewhere in europe, springs, padre sanchez, called biden's decision, a great gesture from the great presence of sholtes, of germany, thanking by the end for making nights i've strong got nothing as yet from a manual. my crow of friends, as he proposed to be limping games in paris next week and recovers from his own disastrous election. but in many ways the coming us selection could be more crucial for friends and say, your a full res, i'll just era loved it. the general feeling in latin america is one of release on
