pictures right now, vice president kamala harris is speaking now in philadelphia to api a vote, an advocacy group focused on mobilizing asian-american voters we'll be listening to what she is saying. and of course, bring you any updates as it happens. also today, we learned that president biden will sit down with bet wednesday night for his first interview. have you with that network he'll start the week sitting down with nbc news and lester holt during an interview alright, tomorrow catherine princess of wales, is set to make an appearance at the wimbledon men's singles final in london, kensington palace made the announcement this morning the 42-year-old, a princess significantly scaling back her royal duties after announcing her cancer diagnosis at the end of march, when she made her first public appearance last month while attending king charles is birthday celebration. so all

eyes on wimbledon for the men's final and for her. alright, thank you so much for joining me today. i'm fredricka whitfield, the cnn newsroom with jessica dean starts right now you are in the cnn newsroom. hi, everyone. one, i'm jessica dean in new york and president biden is moving full steam ahead with his campaign for reelection, despite lingering doubts among members of his own party about his age and his fitness as for office while campaigning in the swing state of michigan, a defiant byd went after donald trump calling him, quote, a loser, and a convicted criminal. biden also made it it clear he's staying in the race and he says he's the only one who can beat trump for a march tomorrow narrative. my campaign has fallen apart. they say on the nominee of the democratic party, the only democrat or republican has beaten donald trump ever i'm going to beat him again cnn's priscilla

alvarez is joining us now and priscilla ease biden now pivoting or at least trying to pivot from that debate performance to attacking the former president well, what you heard there, jessica, from the president is the core of his argument that he is best suited to beat former president donald trump. this election year and so he has been on the attack. of course, he has been refining those attacks over the last several months as well as introducing new criticisms of the former president including, for example, that he is a convicted criminal, given what happened in the foreign president's criminal cases. but the president is also having to do two things at once. go after his republican rival, while also easing the anxiety among those within his own party and on that front, he has been engaged in an outreach campaign over the course of the week with his allies, including donors at democratic lawmakers who all still harbor some concern about whether he is the best candidate to go up against

trump and whether he can serve a second term. so the president, when he's hitting the campaign trail now, the stakes are much higher. it's not just about what he says. i've been to multiple of his rallies where he does sort of gave a forceful defense of his record while going after his republican rival. but it's also being judged in his performance and whether he does enough of this to engage with voters and a long the way alleviate those concerns among his supporters. now, the question remains to be seen, but the president will also be going to texas and nevada next week where he's going to do more of the same and serve as counter-programmin g for the republican national convention, which will also be underway so ultimately, while the president is trying to make the case about him being the best candidate to go against donald trump for his record, to be judged on the last three years, not the last 90 minutes and argument we've heard repeatedly from him. and the campaign. he's also behind the

scenes having to work the phones to keep the democratic party in line. so it is certainly a challenging time. i'm for his campaign. and one that he hopes he can make more of an inroads in over the next few days on the campaign trail, right? we shall see priscilla alvarez for us in washington, dc. thanks so much for that reporting. and despite the president's defiant tone in michigan, there's still a number of congressional democrats who have doubts about his candidacy and have said so a allowed an attempt to calm those fears biden today is holding virtual calls with both the new democrat coalition and the progressive caucus currently, there are 19 congressional democrats calling for biden to step aside, including two members who are speaking with the president today. cnn's annie grayer is joining us now. and andy, i know one of those conversations patients is happening right now. what else can you tell us about these meetings well, just these are critical for the president as he tries to speak directly to house democrats and assuage concerns that he can no longer do the job.

>> because as we've seen, since biden's disastrous debate performance, there has been a steady trickle of sitting lawmakers, both in the house and also the senate. you just put up that graphic. it's up to 19 lawmakers saying that biden should step aside and that there should be a new nominee so these calls today are biden's attempts to speak directly to those concerns. the call with the progressive group is underway and after that, biden is going to speak with a more moderate group of democrats, many of whom are running in competitive house races, who have raised serious concerns about biden's ability to remain atop the ticket and democrats just have been calling on biden to speak directly to them for two over two weeks since that debate performance. and it's taken until now now for that to finally happen. so the question is, will his direct message to lawmakers today make move the needle in any way biden started his outreach to the hill formally yesterday. and in one of those calls with the congressional hispanic caucus

congressman mike levin of california spoke up on this call. i'm told from sources and said to the president directly that it was his belief it was time for biden to step aside. now, i'm told from sources that biden responded directly to 11. i'm going to read you a portion of what biden's response was. he said, quote it's a legitimate concern for people, but that's why i think it's important. i got to get out and show people everything from how well i move to how much i know that i'm still in good charge so that's really significant. we don't know how many times a sitting lawmaker has said to the president directly, it's, it's their belief, it's time for biden to step aside. we know it happened in the congressional hispanic caucus call yesterday. we're going to see what happens in these calls today. jess yeah. >> and it's been so much of his messages. let me get out there. let me make the case. annie grayer. great reporting. thanks so much for that former president donald trump is back on the campaign trail as he prepares for the republican

national convention in milwaukee. it's now less than 48 hours away there he will officially become the party's presidential nominee for the third time in eight years he's also expected to announce his running mate. it's a highly anticipated decision that's been overshadowed by all the debate fallout surrounding the biden campaign. so let's get straight to cnn's alayna treene, who is traveling with the trump campaign in butler, pennsylvania. trump is set to address the crowd there in about an hour alayna, how is the trump campaign feeling about this week ahead, this is big for them treasury oh, it's massive for them. jessica. and i'll also note that this rally today is only donald trump's second really public events since that debate performance at the end of last month, they really, for the past two weeks now, have been uncharacteristic ally quiet. donald trump himself really choosing to keep joe biden and the story and the criticism surrounding him and whether democrats themselves believed that he is fit to serve for another four years in

the center he that to be the story. and so as we look ahead to next week, donald trump's team is very much been gearing up for them to change the narrative and put the attention back on donald trump well, mentioned long anticipated decision of them announcing his vice presidential nominee. and there's a lot of questions about when that will come. i when i talk to donald trump's most senior as they say, look, we really see monday evening, that is when donald trump will be nominated for the vice presidential. president. nation that is really the deadline met debut when they have to denounced donald trump actually addressed this yesterday during a radio interview. i want to use. 27 i have some really, really good candidates and, maybe leaning one way and that changes sometimes, you know, all of a sudden you've seen something that you like or you don't like, and you lean a little bit differently. >> it's like a highly

sophisticated version of the apprentice. ultimately, it's more of an instinct. you develop an instinct, but i like to know all the facts before the instinct kicks in so as you could hear, donald trump's data, that is exactly what his advisers tell me a while that he is going to be making this decision. >> really by using his instinct that it's going to be a gut decision. so we're saying june so when exactly that will come. now, just to give you a little preview of what to expect next week, i want to talk you through some of the speakers that were just announced today that are going to be i'm hearing on stage next week that includes several members of donald trump's family, including his sons, eric trump and donald trump junior as well as lara trump, his a daughter-in-law and the co-chair of the republican national committee and kimberly guilfoyle, she's donald trump juniors girlfriend, as well as adviser to the trump campaign one person who as of now it's not speaking, but i'm told will be appearing with donald trump is the former first lady melania trump, because that is very notable. jessica, because

really she has been very absent from the campaign trail ever since donald trump actually launched his third presidential bid, we've only seen her publicly twice it's a really big deal that she's going to be appearing next week. however, as an hour towards no plans for her to be speaking, jessica all right. >> alayna treene for us there in butler, pennsylvania. thank you so much. alayna. and let's turn now to our panel to discuss further columnist, author and podcast or matt lewis and democratic strategist and cnn political commentator, maria cardona, it is great to see both of you. i want to get back to trump in just a second, but maria, let's let's rewind to the beginning of our show and start first with these calls that the president is holding with two key groups of congressional well democrats what does he need to communicate with them? what more can he do to calm these concern democrats who continue to voice their concern? >> well, i think he needs to continue to do exactly what he's doing, reaching out to them, making sure he knows everything he has done from the

day of that disastrous debate. he understands how badly he did that night he knows that there are concerns, but he's also going to communicate that this election is still about about a choice, a choice on the issues the issues debate has not changed and for as much as we have all obsessed about how joe biden did that night of the debate, donald trump had a horrible debate as well. and what you're seeing jessica is what so many grassroots voters that are supporting president biden and are saying to him, in the rope lines and the rallies that he has had since then, he has been fiery, he has been rigorous. he's been vigorous, he's been energetic. he has focused on going after donald trump. he has focused on going after the existential threat that he represents, especially to so many of those communities of voters that are represented by hi, the grassroots, not necessarily by the democratic elite, who are coming out against joe biden. so my hope

is, is that all of those democratic lawmakers and the donors who are still concerned, that they voice their concerns to him privately because i got to tell you at this point, jessica, the more that those crowds come out publicly with their concerns about joe biden after he has unequivocally said that he is the nominee and he is the nominee because he has the votes he has the delegates. those lawmakers and those democrats, when they do that publicly now, they are helping one person and that person's name is donald trump and maria, you mentioned the donors. we've seen big names like george clooney calling for the president to set aside the new york times is reporting that some donors are withholding a total of roughly 90 million in pledged donations from a super pac that's supporting the biden campaign and then there's the president of the united auto workers who's kind in a different, in a different bucket. let's say of biden supporters. he said this yesterday at an event in maryland and matt, when we get

to the other side, i want to know what you think. let's listen you know, in this election we can't put our hands in our heads in the sand and hide from reality we tried that in 2016 and it didn't work. people just wanted to buckle down and hope for the best knowing that we weren't meeting the moment and we see it happening again, though, very few people are willing to speak up about it matt, what does it say to you that the head of the united auto workers union is saying that look, i think joe biden is in trouble. >> he was losing before that debate. and remember, a tie goes to the republican. i mean, joe biden can't he could lose the election by winning the popular vote. so he was losing before the debate. the debate was catastrophic, not just in the national oh, polls, but in this state polls and so i think the best thing that joe biden could do if he wants to beat

donald trump, is to drop out. and i don't think there's any way that biden can convince donors by worry, he can't work harder, he can't call them up and persuade them because it's not like he had a bad night. he just doesn't have it anymore. so i think maria was onto something though the one thing joe biden can say as i am not leaving, i don't care what you say. i am not leaving. and if you attack me then you are going to elect donald trump. and so i don't think there's any way that joe biden can convince us that he's perfect or great, or even fit at this point to be president what i do think he can do as get democrats to stop the bedwetting by telling them, look, i don't care what you say. read my lips i'm not going anywhere and what do you think maria, from the uaw? >> that's significant well,

sure. it's significant in like i said, it's not like democrats are like the trump party where there is an autocratic head of the party who excommunicate every single person who speaks publicly against them know this is a discussion that has been happening since the debate, and it has been very rigorous. and the president has been listening and he should continue to listen, but it has been over two weeks now jessica and mats, right? the president is not going anywhere and it's not let me very let me be very clear here. it's not an ego thing. jessica, the president went through the democratic nomination process 14 million votes. he garnered all across the country. he has delegates that are supporting him. and so to these people that are saying that he should step aside to the lawmakers, to the donors. let me just be very clear as to

what they are saying to see if this is what they are saying, are they saying that the democratic nomination process no longer matters? are they saying that as soon as the democratic nominee or their nominee? knee is in a little bit of trouble than let's run for the hills and forget about the millions of voters who voted for that nominee. do do democratic nomination processes not matter anymore and let's be very clear about the polls the polls have not changed since the debate. there was an npr marist poll that just came out that had joe biden at 50%, donald trump at 48%. this is an unchanged race. and while matt says that an unchanged race or a tied race normally goes to the republicans. maybe some democrats still have a lot more work to do, but let's remember what the polls said in 2022. jessica, they said there was a massive red wave. and i was one of the few who were warning people that there was not a red

wave coming that grassroots voters were going to come out and have their voices heard women who are still incredibly concerned about growing up are having their children and their daughters specialty grow up in a country that had less rights than they do. they are coming out in droves black voters are going to come out in droves. latino voters are going to come out in droves. there are so many people who are so concerned about what donald trump represents. project 2025, which would change the face of the country so i think president biden is well poised to go into this and to beat donald trump. but it will depend on whether democrats have the backbone to stop the circular firing squad focus on who the real threat is and support our nominee he who went through a valid process and is now the one that is going to represent us going into november. let's get it together. people and matt, i want to ask you about this new

op-ed from senator bernie sanders in the new york times. he's fully supporting the president. he wrote today, quote, mr. biden may not be the ideal candidate. but he will be the candidate and should be the candidate and within effective campaign that speaks to the needs of working families. he will not only defeat mr. trump, but beat him badly. 80s time for democrats to stop the bickering. and nitpicking. it has been interesting to see these very progressive members of the party, former rivals like bernie sanders, but also so representative alexandria ocasio-cortez comes to mind who offer this full throated support for biden. it's something we have not seen from congressional democratic leadership at this point. why, why? what do you think's going on there? >> it is stunning. you. some of the people who think of him as genocide, joe are saying don't go joe. genocide joe for president. i'm not saying bernie and aoc said that, but you get my drift it is it is really remarkable, right? that

a lot of the people but you would think would be standing with joe biden right now, kind of somebody establishment moderate democrats are ready to abandon him. and then you've got the progressive caucus that is rallying around him. i can only speculate on a couple of reasons why one argument would be that it's the moderates who actually are in danger of losing down ballot in in november. so they have a vested interest in having a better, stronger candidate at the top of the ticket it's self-preservation more than anything the other argument is maybe these progressives are pretty tough. they're used to being kind of eccentric outcasts and not necessarily going with the mainstream. and so at this moment when suddenly joe biden is a pariah, they say, hey, this is our cause. we're going to stand firm, but you're right. strange bedfellows certainly. >> alright. matt lewis and

maria cardona, we're going to leave it there, but i appreciate you both coming on. we appreciate your time thanks, jessica coming up, we're getting new details tonight on an israeli strike targeting the hamas military chief and alleged mastermind of the october we're seventh attacks what this could mean for possible ceasefire negotiations and hostage deal. we're gonna be back in just a moment july 21, a special how will happen and search for a suspect how really happened the atlanta olympic bomber premieres july 21st at nine on cnn my daughter is mula she is 19 months old she is a little ray of sunshine one of the habits babies are probably ever made children without symptoms. typically have a higher risk for developing acute mountain

october 7 attacks. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says they aren't certain yet whether their target was killed. let's talk more about this. with cnn, political and global affairs analyst barak ravid. barack always good to see you. first just give us some context around this strike today. what it means and it's on its own, but also what it could mean more broadly for any potential ceasefire and hostage agreement so first we still don't know whether how my death. the commander of hamas's military wing and actually one of, one of the founders of hamas's military wing, whether he was killed or not, this is still i think something we need to see if he is indeed dead. this is a major blow for hamas on the one hand, and one of the biggest military achievements for israel since october 7, because mohammed death was the commander of the hamas military

wing, not only by title, but he was actively in command. and i think this is something these israelis learned only after they went into gaza after october 7, because for years, deaf survived several assassination attempts and the israelis thought that he was just a figurehead, that he didn't really command the hamas forces only after the israelis came into gaza and got more intel, including videos they saw that he's actually inactive command. so if he if he is indeed dead, this is a major change in the situation of the war and so what does it mean in terms of the ongoing negotiations over a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal it's still unclear. >> i think that in the short term it will definitely could have influence, although hamas leaders spoke earlier today, like for example, hamas is deputy political leader of he little higher spoken al

jazeera, and he was asked whether they're going to suspend the talks and he didn't say that they're going to spend the talks. he said we are not going to get let netanyahu drag us to where he wants us to be at least for now plus is, not saying that you're going to suspend the talks, but at least three israeli officials, i spoke to said that even if the talks are suspended for a few days after the initial shock from this assassination, they believe that this will increase the pressure on hamas. and as a result will help getting to the hostage and ceasefire and we know israel did not inform the u.s. about this strike beforehand we do know that at least one us made munition was used in this strike. walk us through the strategy behind not informing the us why did they not want to let that information out? >> you know, the funny i was asked about it in the press conference just an hour ago and his answer to me was, you know, pretty astounding he said that the israel did not inform the

u.s. in advance because it was afraid that it's going to leak that somebody on the american side and biden ministration will leaked this information and then it will scuttle the operation and will allow deaf and other hamas commanders who were with them to go back on the ground and then they wouldn't be killed. this is you know, in my mind, you know, pretty strong accusation from netanyahu. i think might even show you the suspicion between israel and the u.s. these days yeah. >> what does that say to you about the current relationship between israel and the u.s. right now? >> exactly. i mean, this is not some it's a major operation and it's a it was a very important air airstrike for the israeli military, for the israeli leadership but still come a deaf is not a controversial target when it

comes to us. it's an israel president biden, and a lot of other us officials said that they're help actively helping israel to go after hamas leaders like mukoma death and some us officials even said that hamas death, end if you're sinwar hamas leader in gaza are both. two of them are people that there needs to be justice for them, meaning that they need to be killed so it is very interesting. daniels said that israel did not inform the u.s. because it thought the us might leak it. >> yeah. before i let you go, i do want to ask you about the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, because for the last several months he's really been on edge in terms of kani hold on, kenny, hold this government together will he get pushed out? will he not where do things stand? now? and does a strike like this give him more capital to keep moving forward as the prime minister i don't again, we'll have to see in the polls in the next few days

whether he gets a boost but yesterday, on friday, channel 12, israel's biggest tv network published a public opinion poll that showed that 72% of the israelis want netanyahu to resign, either there immediately, or once the war is over. this is, you know, an amazing number, 72% of israelis want netanyahu to resign so i think this tells you something where netanyahu is with israeli public opinion. would the vote, but he's still has a 64 member of knesset majority in parliament. and when that's the situation, he needs to get at least in the next two weeks before the knesset session is over, he needs to get through those two weeks in the last few days of the session, he will be in washington speaking to congress and once he's, once the knesset session it's over, it goes into recess, then his prime minister for at least another six months. >> all right. barak ravid, always great to have you on. we appreciate your analysis.

thanks so much. >> thank you still ahead, president biden says he has no intention of ending his bid for a second term. >> but could the delegates at the democratic convention in august have a say in that we're going to take a closer look at that process tomorrow morning. >> we'll president biden stay in the race or not. and how does the world see this american political prices for we'd ask the new yorker's evan osnos, sam, the eurasia group ski and bremmer for reads partygate gps tomorrow morning at ten prompt date is july 60 and 70. >> what are these deals could be more to megan thee stallion? i could be making the end up membrane won't we yeah. start clicking au. >> when i love a good hotel, breakfast aide. so close to the state, ai managed to get the last room for 190 bucks the last one a week ago, i talked yesterday when night $140.01,

tomorrow if all of a sudden i show up at the convention. everybody says we want somebody else that's democratic process stock could happen it is a bit complicated though. >> cnn zach wolf has been reporting on the different scenarios in which democrats could potentially replace biden in what the fallout might look like. and zach, i just want to underscore again that biden has said over and over again, he's not getting out. he plans to forge ahead however walk us through biden's, hide, the presence hypothetical there in which his delegates decide they actually want to vote for someone else. how would that work? >> well, it is really confusing because as you recall, we had this series of primaries and in almost every state, he won one every primary and every state. so he should have these delegates. there are more than 3,900 delegates, 3,949 pledged delegates that were awarded as a part of this primary process.

and he won nearly all of them, 30,904 so where it gets complicated is there's nothing that legally requires that actually vote for him at the convention. he's right about that. but if they were to vote for somebody else, if the delegates from california's say, where's to vote for kamala harris? if she's not a recognized candidate, their votes wouldn't be counted for her at the convention. they would be considered present. so it would have to then go to a second round of ballots if he didn't get to the majority on that first round of voting. so he is he is correct that they can vote for whoever they want. the text technical language in the democratic bylaws, which if you really want a headache, try to read a bylaws. it's called the call for convention. it is the most confusing document, but the technical language for them is that they should in good conscience, support the winner of the primary in their state. but what does in good

conscience mean it's never been tested? does it mean they don't think he can win. and so they can no longer in good conscience support him. does it mean that they don't think he's fit for the job. so that's a completely untested bit of language, but it's not i think everybody agrees legally binding on them if somebody were to rise up and try to challenge him, they would have to get support before they did that. they would have to get signatures from hundreds of delegates in order just to have their name thrown it. so he's he's right. that delegates could vote for somebody else. but from there, it just gets extremely complicated the procedure of what happened bins is completely unknown. >> yeah, it's not easy and i think when you're hearing some people that do want him to step aside or in conversations when you talk to donors, they're just what he can just move aside and there'll be a new candidate, but it doesn't seem like it's that that's simple, that there you can't just wave your hand and snap your fingers and it happened what if though

he decided to step aside on his own, that is a little different. but how would that work? it is a little different at that point, the delegates would be released that in good conscience clause goes away. you could imagine kamala harris paris or whoever wanted to wanted to step in the ring would again have to get those signatures from people at the convention, be recognized by the chair of the dnc, jamie harrison, to sort of be considered as a candidate. and then there's another universe of people we would have to consider. and these are the, if you remember, 2008 superdelegates, they call them automatic delegates right now. but if you're old enough to remember, barak obama, hillary clinton race, if the word superdelegate might be a trigger for you, but these are, these are party bigwigs and they would sort of come back into they would, they would get votes. so the number would change. you'd go from needing 1900s and essentially votes to more than 2000. so everything kind of gets messed up again
