drinks cnn this morning with kasie hunt. next it's wednesday, july 10, right now on cnn this morning, big concerns about joe biden's ability to beat donald trump, but still no consensus among democrats about what to do about it. >> the nato summit ramping up in the nation's capital with president biden under the microscope, and evacuation orders in new mexico entire neighborhoods paralyzed by flashfloods all right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in washington, a live look at the capitol dome on this wednesday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt it's wonderful to have you with us president biden, isn't budging and democrats in congress arch shoving him out, at least not

at this writing, despite his poor debate performance, the president insists he gives democrats the best chance to beat donald trump in november congressional democrats, not all convinced party leaders holding closed door meetings yesterday in both chambers, emerging with no consensus on whether biden should remain at the top of the ticket? >> i've come to the final conclusion that president biden is not ready to be rolled into an old full-time president biden is doing what he needs to do he's not just the president, he's our president. >> so i mean, yesterday scoring not going to come into what i said i a private call. i think it's really important that we focused on the fact that president biden has been a really excellent president, began a bad debate, but i do think that at this point that there are definitely other candidates that will be stronger senate democrats meanwhile, have largely rallied around biden. but just last night, one democratic senator

told cnn, he doesn't think biden can beat trump this race is on a trajectory that is very worrisome. donald trump is on track, i think to win the selection. and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the senate and the house all right, joining me now is axios capitol hill reporter juliegrace brufke. juliegrace. good morning to you. morning. those comments from michael bennet, senator from colorado, very direct and obviously the way we think of a landslide is a little different. now than perhaps in the past it could, be three points instead of what we might otherwise think of that way. but he was pretty stark in his assessment there and he's not alone. john tester, sherrod brown. our dana bash reporting also share his concerns about biden potentially losing to trump but the reality is, biden is not really going anywhere. we almost seems like we're in this place where democrats are just kind of saying, well, if

this is what he's going to do, we're just going to have to make the best of it yeah. >> i mean, i've talked to a lot of democrats over the course of the past few days who definitely privately have a ton of concerns. and i mean, we've kind of heard a pivot with a lot of these members during private discussions, including house judiciary ranking member jerry nadler, who during a ranking members call with keen jeffries on sunday, was kind of sounding the alarm there, kind of pivot back to give a strong endorsement to biden, but i think there's a lot of concerns of if they go too far on criticizing him, men he is going to remain on the ticket at this point in time that it could hurt him in the general and that could be used against some demo line. so axios, you're out outlet is reporting this quote just before house democrats tuesday morning come to jesus meeting on president biden's path forward. a smaller group of swing district democrats held what sources described as a disposal and in gathering with actual tears and i mean, these are the people whose jobs are on the line. if biden remains on the top of the ticket and basically drag them

down, who stand to lose their seats in congress entirely. what did you hear from them up on the hill yesterday? i mean, i think there's some people that are really despondent once again today, they're worried about they come out too strongly against him that it's going to further hurt his odds in november. so i think right now there's definitely a lot of strong concerns post the debate. the polling probably could have been worse for biden was expected to be, but they're hearing from donors, they're hearing from and constituents and they're worried about it and you kind of look, cook, cook political report kind of shifted some states in a more competitive races in the past couple of days and those few of those fears are real especially key ones in arizona, georgia and nevada so juliegrace, we heard from president trump for the first time at a rally since the debate. he's basically been letting joe biden have the spotlight since it's been a tough place for biden to be. but here's a little bit of what he said about the divisions in the democratic party that we've been seeing radical left democrat party is

divided and chaos and having a full scale break down all because they can't decide which of the air candidates is more unfit to be president sleepy crooked. >> joe biden, or laffin kamala. if joe had picked someone even halfway competent, they would have bounced him from office years ago, but they can't because she's got to be their second choice. he has no choice and no chance president trump, of course, mispronouncing kamala harris's name. >> their tactic we've seen him use before, and now you are reporting also that the what's going on with president biden is affecting donald trump's vice presidential pick. you write the sources noted, trump is shifting gears several times while picking a running mate. they say he's likely feeling more leeway to select someone he likes personally rather than whoever he thinks could be the most politically beneficial how is this affecting the

veepstakes, so to speak? >> so i mean, i feel like the vip it's still kinda moving there and donald trump kind of, i mean, he's fickle, so we'll see where he ultimately goes with that. but i've talked to some lawmakers and people within the trump orbit that feel at ease, feeling bullish right now, he's feeling better than ever with the state the race and i've talked to their take was on it was that he they could see him picking somebody that's a little bit more of a firebrand where whereas before to kind of help tighten the race, somebody maybe marco rubio or doug burgum may have had a stronger shot on that front. i mean, they're definitely not out of the running at this point in time, but somebody that might be able to help with minority and swing voters and this verbit suburbs that mega to biden otherwise. so basically you're saying that he could feel more freedom to pick like a jd vance, who may bring a specific constituency, but who may drive better with him personally, as opposed to marco rubio or doug burgum who you need to bring along, ask those more independent voters. all right. juliegrace brufke for us this morning. juliegrace. thank you shade it.

ukraine's largest children's hospital. biden's message to world leaders and members of his own party. he's up to the job ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, meeting with biden on the sidelines of the summit. and in a speech calling for decisive action to resist vladimir putin everyone is waiting for november americans are waiting for november and europe, middle east in the pacific. the whole world is looking to go on into november and truly speaking, putin it reads november to i wonder what could be happening in november, joining us now, live from london is cnn's max foster. >> max. good morning. a remarkably candid assessment there from zelenskyy about what everyone in the world is waiting for right now. and i want to play a little bit more of what he had to say because

he talked about both joe biden and donald trump, the men who will face each other in the american election in november, because it does seem to pre-stage what a lot of us are talking about here in washington, the inquiry precinct possibility that it's newly elected president donald trump, when we reach that point, listen to a little bit more of what zelenskyy said biden and trump are very different but they are supportive democracy and that's why i think putting will hate both of them. i hope that if people of america will vote for president trump, i hope that his policy with ukraine will not change. i don't know where it well, him really interesting max, that he says, that he thinks putin will hate both biden and trump. it seems to be already thinking

about what that relationship is going to be like. >> yeah preempting you know, obviously the us is crucial of the most crucial ally to ukraine right now, he doesn't want that changing. he doesn't want putin to build a relationship with trump. i'm sure so china very much get on side with trump effectively because whether trump is president or biden is president, america is going to be just as important to ukraine, i think what's interesting about those soundbites is that one of the issues with this nato summit, huge issues, particularly ukraine to deal with, but it's all being overshadowed by the u.s. election on two fronts. obviously, just the fact that every press conference, everyone's talking about president biden's wellness. that's overriding things every time he appears in even with their world leader, the discussion is going to be about biden and whether or not he's going to pull out of the race. and then secondarily, if if the democrats losing november to

donald trump, what that means for the nato alliance, everyone there is fully behind it, particularly from europe it so central to their security their hugely concerned that donald trump would come in and change that. but you're in a better position. i think kasie to say whether or not he's planning to he's never suggested dismantling nato has these just talking about this issue with everyone recognizes that most european countries don't pay their fair share yeah. >> no. i mean, you definitely focuses on that. i do think that there is nervousness among a lot of the foreign policy establishment hear that in unleashed second trump term, he might go farther than he is already discussed going in the past. max, let's talk for a second about obviously the election so important to world leaders hinging on president biden's performance in the wake of the debate every move he's making is being scrutinized. and he went and made this address to nato last

night, people were watching very closely. let's just take a look at a little piece. of what we saw from biden yesterday our friends it's good that we're stronger than ever ukraine can and will stop putin especially for collective support they have our full support americans they know we're stronger with our friends and we understand this is a sacred obligation. so i have to say max at these forums are some of the places where we have seen biden at his most focused at these are things that i've covered biden washington for a long time. he's always prided himself very much on his role on the world stage when he was in the senate on the key committee that dealt with these issues, we saw some of this same president that you saw there when he went abroad last month

he is also holding it up as the reason why it's important that he stay at the top of the democratic ticket. he points to the expansion of nato. what is your sense? what are you seeing in terms of how this is being covered where you are? bar and the optics of all of it, how it's playing out as the president tries to continue to show that he's up to his job i think it's a shame for a lot of international governments flying in because for example, keir starmer, the new british prime minister, has been given this big honor that he's going to have a full bilateral with president biden when he's over there, the focus in the past would have been on i've got this seat in front of america but it's been watered down in a way because so much attention has gone on to president biden's how well he is the focus coming out of that bilateral won't be as much on the policy and what they decide

or even keir starmer, who's trying to raise his profile on the global stage, is going to be on how biden came across everything's being seen from biden's spective so the whole event has been weakened to some extent because when it's all about security and policy and what's going to be decided. >> it's really just how president biden has got to perform. but as you say, did perform well, there and he is appreciated. i think certainly amongst european leaders because he is an international list and he is taking these meetings and he is taking it takes you're a very seriously and democracy very seriously. and america's role in the world very seriously. and they are concerned that that's going to change either because he is weakened in his position or that donald trump takes over right? >> alright. max foster for us this morning, i will say max. i think everyone's going to be asking mr. starmer how was the president today? how did that meeting go? so he may be at the center of attention maybe for

the wrong reasons right. max, thank you very much. always great to see you coming? up next here. beryl, bringing tornadoes to indiana, now threatening new york state. plus opening arguments. now, just hours away and alec baldwin's movie set shooting trial. that's ahead in your morning roundup july 21, a special how would happened. >> and search for suspect how it really happened. the atlanta olympic bombing, vermeer's july 21 at nine on cnn i'm interested in trying these new weight loss shots, but i'm made it to be more affordable because my insurance doesn't cover it. >> i'm not sure which online provider to trust and i want to ask a doctor a lot of questions. >> does secrets out at henry meds are knowledgeable providers demystify compounded semaglutide, the active

five-thirty am here in washington, a live look at capitol help on this wednesday morning. >> good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with u.s. president biden facing mounting pressure to try to save his reelection campaign. he is looking to the world stage where he is trying to deliver his every move under scrutiny this week, as washington hosts the nato summit, the president spoke last night during the summit opening ceremony let's remember the fact that nato remains the bulwark of global security did not happen by accident it wasn't inevitable again and again, a critical moments, we chose unity over disunity progress over retreat freedom over attorney hope over fear. >> again and again, we stood behind our shared vision of a peaceful and prosperous transatlantic community. >> of course, biden's every word his delivery, his walks to the podium, being closely monitored. so are comments from

members of his own party and white house staffers, one unnamed official telling the new york times the president should not seek reelection, those kinds of leaks to the press our angering white house staffers who according to politico, are now saying to doubters, take a stand or shut up, joining me to talk about this democratic party infighting. eli stokols, he is the co-author of politico's west wing playbook eel-like. good morning to you. always wonderful to see see you. so talk to me a little bit about how this is all playing out inside the white house. and this white house has been known for being locked down. obviously, they've been very defensive of the president, but in the wake of the trump administration, they didn't want leaks. a lot of that has changed in the wake of the debate performance. what are you hearing from inside? at the white house about how all of this is going down. >> well, if you go back to the debate performance, it was shocking even to people who worked in the white house and are close to this president, they don't maybe see him every day but they have a pretty good sense of how he is doing. and i think that seeing him on the debate stage falter to that

degree with shocking and i think it unnerved a lot of people about what do we not know? what is the senior team keeping from us? you know, generally it's been a pretty buttoned up, leak-free, focused white house, especially compared to the last one. but, you know, anytime something like this happens, you have people start to get nervous, frustrated, they have relationships with reporters, they do talk to the press i think joe generally, they have kind of inside the white house and the campaign rally around the president. some people have more doubts, more reservations about his viability than others but i think that one senior administration official who spoke to the new york times and said, present shouldn't see reelection. i'm told there hasn't been that much conversation internally about who that is, but sort of universal frustration with that person for sort of not being on the team for stepping, stepping out of line, so to speak. yeah yeah. the the way that you guys put it in play because that quote, some current and former white house staffer said the

flood of lease have shifted the vibe on campus, creating a sense of unease he's giannis and distrust that did not exist before the debate. it leads to a very uncomfortable dynamics that a former biden official who is still talks with current staffers, eli, do you get the sense that this question about what biden is going to do has been asked and answered. i mean, that's sort of my sense from kind of looking at what's coming off capitol hill is that basically there were a lot of people that are still really unhappy about this. they really want him to step aside. but there seems to be an acknowledgment setting in that biden is refusing to go anywhere and that basically they have to they have to now deal with that i don't think there's any consensus in the democratic party, at least the elected officials are democrats and then sort of the donor class the people who might have the ability to put some pressure on the president to reconsider as you know, if there's no collective action similar to like republicans under trump, right? >> and there was a lot of concerns, but no one really wanted to be the one to stick their neck out there. we saw senator bennett last night come

out more forcefully than any other senate democrat and say, he doesn't think the president can win i'm sure you know this too. that seems to be you know, privately were a lot of democrats are right now. they see the debates, you see the polls, and they just don't really see a path for the president. but there's also a lot of resignation. and i think part of the inaction and the status quo that we're seeing is because people are just not sure what plan b is there, not all that certain that kamala harris would be? that much of an improvement. no one's really sure if there should be a primary. and so i think there's frustration on the hill with the president and his senior team for coming out so strongly laying a marker down saying i'm not going anywhere, i'm not going to listen the time to talk about this over because a lot of people on the hill do not think they're done talking about this. they're just beginning to look at the presence performance to try to figure this thing out. but obviously time is ticking away the virtual roll call on his nomination could come this month. in fact, not next month. that convention, they're still

working that out people do have to figure this out right now. i think inside the white house, the president went out on the campaign trail, went to a black church this weekend. it's going to go to the afl-cio today, right? he's going to these these sort of safe spaces where he knows he'll feel support and i'm told that the support that he felt on the rope line over the weekend, the support he felt from black women at a church sort of hardened his resolve made him feel like, oh no, no, people do want me. i'm the duly elected, nominee or presumptive nominee of this party. i'm staying in this race and absent any kind of bigger movement i think from democrats and congress, he may, he may stay in that position and ride this out. all right. so briefly, eli, i'm the other person that's been in the spotlight here has been the white house press secretary, karine jean-pierre, who has really struggled to answer questions about president biden's health and mate understanding is she had to correct something else that that she had said from the podium yesterday how is that impacting? how the white house is handling all this?

>> well, i just think if there was a sort of clear more upfront communication about the presence helping obviously that is kind of the topic that the center of the campus pain that is the dominant story. not just national news, but international news with so many world leaders here this week, having to kind of not knowing, not being able to state that the president saw a doctor after the debate, which was the case last week, not being able to explain you know, after report by the new york times that a neurologist had been to the white house multiple times over the past year, not having an explanation ready for that, then putting out the duck, it just not been it has not been sort a great example of crisis communications. and that has obviously the president's problems. start with the debate, but the white house has not helped in terms of how it has been unable to answer the questions and sort of adjusted its explanations on the fly and the presence explanations for the debate. i had a bad night. oh, it was the travel. right. that seemed to kind of bounce around two different things and that frustrated people who felt

like you know, are they really acknowledging the actual thing, the fact of his age, the increasing frailty and this is another thing that i think has frustrated some democrats who look at this white house and say, how are they going to rebound? how are they going to steady this campaign when they can't even get in front of him yeah, a lot of the backlash, honestly, i mean, obviously there was shock in the wake of that debate performance, but then the six or seven days that went by before there was really a full-court press from the white house. i know certainly frustrated a lot of the sources. i'm not just the press secretary, but certainly what's happened in the briefing room it's not been great, right? >> of course. all right. eli stokols, georgia is mourning, very grateful to have you come back. thank you so much. alright, let's turn now to capitol hill, where democratic senators spent yesterday talking about the president's future as i've said before, i'm with joe as i said before i'm with joe. i'm with joe he is the only democrat i believe who could have been trump in 2020. he is our best candidate and now, i don't know why democrats are still talking about this, that there are anyone's. but joe biden is our

guy all right. >> the caucus does remain divided in spite of those comments you just heard, it's true that i said that and i did say that behind closed doors. i think it's critically important for us to come to grips with what we face. if together, we put this country on the path of electing donald trump again all right joining me now is the co-founder of punchbowl news, john bresnahan, brez, so grateful to see you always wonderful to have you at that. those words from bennett, i mean, he was very stark dire. he was talking about the fact that he did say that he thinks that joe biden is going to lose to donald trump and he went on to say it would be possibly by a landslide. what did you make of his comments and do they reflect the broad conventional wisdom inside the democratic caucus in the senate? >> i mean the other part of that is that the reports are that jon tester, who's running montana, sherrod brown, shared brown who is running in ohio to red states also said behind

closed doors that biden can win and they haven't come out and said that publicly, but bennett confirmed that he did i do think there's a huge gap in right now. what's being said publicly, what is being said privately to us? what members and senators pull this aside and say biden looks terrible. the white house doing a terrible job. i don't think he can win. and what they're saying publicly. and you see it in the house too, as well? you have members. last night. i'm you know, i'm getting calls it 10:11 p.m. saying this members coming out, that members coming out no one's sure what's going on but it's a disaster right now on the hill for democrats. >> yeah. i mean, it's it's funny breaths because i mean, musa covering republicans, saying one thing in private and another thing in public. and now you have crowds engaged in this dynamic. and that actually plays into some of this reporting. you guys have out this morning, you write this

quote, we're now just short of two weeks since president biden's disastrous presidential debate performance in atlanta biden has succeeded where no other politician has these last few years making republicans look both competent and unified. biden's catastrophic showing in the ensuing drama have turned the democratic party on capitol hill completely upside upside-down. and it is, it is true. i mean, we the conversation before this had been squarely on donald trump and many of the divisions in the republican party around that. and that is just not the relevant conversation right now. >> if you want to make this election a referendum on donald trump and his presidency and what he did on january 6, and how he handled covid-19 and how we acted as president in four years as president though thing we're talking about is for two weeks now, this no, almost two weeks now since the june 27 debate is whether biden is competent enough to do this job

and whether he can do it for another four years if he it's not biden. who is it? and it's just look the white house has worked hard to try to project this image behind the scenes. they really tried to not only the president, but top officials have reached out to members, rank and file democrats being like come on, get up. we're with, you stay with us. and and they're still there still less debate going on. there's a lot of fear in democratic ranks about what's going to happen. we saw that was content poll from arp, there was constant paltin saying biden is losing wisconsin. if biden doesn't win, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, keep can't be president again. and the question is democrat do we let the president, do we go down with the president can they can they save the house or the when the house at some kind of check on trump if the senate has gone and the presidency has gone back to the debate that's going on right now for months out from the election. this is not

where democrats need to be pressdee, think that this is basically i mean, the bottom line is what even can they do at this point. i mean they seem reluctant to come out in public because it seems like they're being jammed by the other end of pennsylvania avenue with the president stubborn insistence that he is staying even though many of these people you know, are privately saying they want him to get out. i mean, it doesn't seem like they really have a way out. if biden is insisting on staying in no, that's that's the mess that they're in right now. >> and that's what we wrote about this morning. it binds not going anywhere you're not going to force him out as a party. you're not going to publicly say we need to replace the president on the ticket than where do you go at some point? the administration figures, this will run its course. they'll just, democrats will be like, well, biden's our guy. we have to stick with him for better or worse that's it. you i mean, the early part of the week was, you know, what if biden stepped aside, kamala

harris, what's the people were war gaming that out? what would it mean we rally around? on her for 100 days and get her into the white house. but now it does look as though, you know, biden's here. what does it mean? do i want to openly rate with president to say my own political future? does that help me more or just sticking together as a party helped me more. every member and every democratic senator they're going to have to make who's up for reelection this year is going to have to make this decision and it's really is a terrible choice for them. it really is right now for democrats yeah for real. all right. john bresnahan, always grateful to have you. thank you so much for being here. see you soon. i hope all right. coming up next. why democrats are worried as we were just discussing saying that they could lose more than the white house in november. we're going to dig into those numbers, blossom sports. one of the greatest soccer players of all time makes a little more magic

republican dominance of the supreme court for a generation. now, obviously, senator bennet there agrees with you, but help us understand why the stakes maybe so much higher for democrats in just the white house yeah, i think i think the stakes are higher than most people have been talking about. >> i mean, the core, the core dynamic here, is it as become extremely difficult for either party to win senate seats in states that vote the other way for president in the 2016 and 2020 election years combined exactly one senator out of 69 senate races, one in a state that voted the other way for president. and now on this, in this year, you have democrats defending three senate seats in states that biden is almost certain to lose, is certain to lose west virginia, ohio, montana five more in swing states it's where he is now losing and several others in states that were not on the

radar earlier, but now our polling unexpectedly closed, including new mexico and new jersey if the election goes badly for democrats, the deficit they could face in the senate would be extremely difficult to make up in 2026. and 2028, given the seats and the states that are up, then in fact, it would be difficult for democrats to get back to his senate majority until they can compete again for the same seats they might lose this year in swing states like michigan pencil so then it was constant arizona and nevada. and if republicans have the white house and the senate for the rest of this decade, they would have ample time to confirm 50 something successors the samuel alito and clarence thomas, the two oldest conservative justices and their mid-seventies, as well as possibly sonia sotomayor and lock and thus lock in a supreme court majority for another 20 years or so those are the stakes that democratic leaders are gambling with as they rally around biden, despite all the

ominous signals in the polls. >> really remarkable way to put it, ron, i want to play just a little bit of what james carville had to say on our air about president biden last night, watch i still think i stand by my thing that he won't run. but if he does were just making a idiotic choice for the future of our country. >> that's not a message that president biden seems to be hearing yeah. >> look, the people around biden you know, the inner circle have a completely different view of this. i've never seen a gap as wide really, you know, i didn't cover the 1980 race but that might be the only other one between you of kind of the palace guard and the white house. and the broad range of democratic consultants i mean, i think the overwhelming you're not universal for the overwhelming view among democratic consultants is that the debate performance is not something that biden can recover, come in particular,

because he went into the debate trailing, right. i mean, he who was the one who needed to change the trajectory of the race he was the one who needed to kind of shift the focus to trump as one democratic consultant said to me this week. you know, now you're in a position where what was seen to be the ace in the hole that sooner or later voters we kind of focus on trump and say, do i really want to live in? world and the country that he is sketching out. you may never get to that. you may never get to that point, given how many voters have deep concerns about biden and again, one out of 69 senate races in the last two presidential years went the other way than the presidential results in that state. the stakes go far beyond biden is gambling with much more than his own future. he's really gambling with the future of the senate and with that, the future future of the supreme court, potentially for decades really remarkable. >> ron brownstein for us this morning rounds so grateful to have you. thank you. come back soon. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. time now for sports candidates, surprising
