have left, it for god, and i not to get overly sentimental about those the interviews that trump has done overnight, he was deeply affected as anybody would be going through a near death. thanks. all right the convention is starting. let's listen in this convention. welcome to order delegates an alternate delegates. ladies and gentlemen welcome to the 2024 republican national convention. before we begin the official business of this convention let us please take a moment of silence to reflect on the terrible events that took place in butler penalty

men and women who daily safeguard our freedoms saw that in prosperity and tranquility, we can worship you, the creator, redeemer in sanctify era of the universe and be the blessed people whose god is the lord amen what everyone please rise for the presentation of colors. we have some new reporting collars are presented upon these donald trump. >> the presumptive republican nominee, has apparently made his decision about who his running mate will be christian all right. >> so we have mark preston has heard from a single source that donald trump has made his decision, and that seems to be clear because we are also told by sources familiar that marco rubio rubio, the senator from

florida, has been informed that he is not the choice for vice president now, just to go over what kaitlan had said just moments ago, there three people that we know have been at the top of the list for considerations and under marco rubio of florida, who has now been told he is not the choice. >> governor doug burgum of north dakota, and jd vance of ohio. we did see vance leaving his home earlier today. he was in what looked to be a motorcade. we have obviously been reading all of the tea leaves around that but we were told that we shouldn't speculate that all of these three top contenders have been given extra security after the shooting on saturday. but of course we are still now looking at a list of three that has been narrowed down to likely to people. >> all right. thank you, kristen, right now, the colors are being presented by the zaki county sheriff honor guard and were going to listen to the pledge of allegiance. let's listen in for lightest to lead us in the pledge of allegiance

thanks so much. what an honor this is for all of us. please join me i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands. one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all and now to perform the national anthem, please welcome john stanford see so the two who's

broad stripes bribe saw through for other words bombs good, through that are flag, who say

chris wallace it seems as though it is between jd vance and doug burgum, the vice presidential pick, what more can you tell us? well one, the vice-presidential pick and has, been reported is in it appears it's down to two were told that right after the president goes over the top, when florida

the picks him and he is officially the nominee of the party that he is expected to come here to the hall to announce his vice presidential pick. and we're being told that it's going to be for 37 eastern time, 337 central time. so you can imagine a more dramatic moment. donald trump has first time in republic since the assassination attempt coming here. i don't know if he's still has the bandage on his right here. he had a couple of days ago, but also coming bringing with him his running mate for the republican nomination for president, vice-president, and dana bash, if the reporting is accurate and it is between these two individuals, jd vance and doug burgum, those are two pretty different choices, very different choices. and listen all of our reporting suggest that in the last week and certainly several days, that those are the two that we believe were left but we also know that donald trump likes to

surprise people. so who knows if there's somebody, some dark horse that we don't know about very, very different. doug burgum sitting governor of north dakota, somebody who is a businessman, one of the main reasons why donald trump likes him is because he is a self-made man and then of course, jd vance, who has effectively become, even though he didn't start out life this way, just the opposite a disciple of the former president and is definitely somebody who his son's particularly donald trump junior it's very publicly in favor of yeah, very interesting. and that during this musical interlude, we're going to talk a little bit more about this, abby phillip, your thoughts on the moment. i mean, jake, i think this is it's really a unique moment for donald trump in particular, he's running for president now three times. >> but this is really the first time that he is making a vice presidential decision. that is all his own, where he really doesn't need when i talked to republicans, they don't think he needs anything from a vice presidential pick at this

moment, except for the one thing that he requires of everybody around him, which is loyalty and loyalty is also extended even beyond just the relationship with between him and that person. there is a thinking that this is also about what comes next for the republican the republican party. i mean, donald trump is 78-years-old he survived and near death experience this weekend, but he is aware that the maga movement has to live on beyond beyond him. and i think he takes great pride in the way that he has shaped this republican party and mike pence and away was a pick for that moment, but was not the person who would carry on the maga flag. and i think that's going to be one of the key things is how satisfied is to do that either of these men can do that david urban, your thoughts on the choice we're about to show. listen, i agree with everyone's been said right to different, completely different courses, right? jd vance it's kinda the future of maga and

doug burgum's a steady, safe pick. calm down people in the suburbs, montgomery county, right? delaware county voters take them a little more comfortable with with the trump ticket. i think interestingly, both john and dana pointed out, we are here to 60 last time we had a convention, it was 2016 it was a different vibe in the building in 2016 today, ted cruz is going to make a run. ken cuccinelli, what did the floor and mike whitaker challenge it. so it was a completely different feeling. i was on the floor today triumphant, victorious. it is a big moment for the republican party today, this afternoon. and moving forward completely unlike anything we've seen since perhaps i don't know what the party has been this unified as it will be at four or 337 eastern this afternoon i don't think that there is any one

person in the republican party who symbolizes more the degree to which donald trump has made this party his own than senator mike lee who was on the floor with ken cuccinelli, leading the floor revolt to try to make ted cruz the nominee. and now is just a to put it nicely on onboard. >> yeah. no look, there's no doubt this is donald trump's party. you know, it strikes me this whole discussion about the photo the iconic photo the other day, the stage crafting of this vice presidential choice, donald trump is a showman and a marketer, and he has guided this whole process. i was told that his staff wanted to announce this vp pick earlier and he said, no, i want to do it on the stage on monday and so this is a reflection of trump, the marketer kasie. this is if this had played out under different circumstances, if that horrible event in pennsylvania hadn't happened and they were planning this mean we knew that they were discussing doing it this way

all the way along. >> i mean, the buildup here, sort of the apprentice style suspense when we would have been engaged in it for probably at least 24 hours, if not more. i mean, normally when we are covering the quote-unquote veepstakes, i'll be honest, it's my least favorite story and the presidential campaign cycle really don't like it very much john, how many got which, which, which veepstakes lloyd bentsen, and al gore. lloyd benson and al gore. >> he was a legendary associated press reporter course even teenagers. george you broke it, you broke dortmund, pushing anything in a and i beat lesly stall by 44 seconds but who is why was probably the only but does it matter this time? >> the only thing usually usually this is a big drama. everyone chases the story. yeah, i broke two of them. they were great. from my career ten minutes later, who cares, right? because the vice president doesn't matter if people vote for president. however, if biden stays on the ticket, the trump campaign is going to say a vote for biden is a vote for harris. so then

does his pick matter more because of that? yeah. right. does it matter more? jd vance is throw at 37-years-old, has been in the senate for 17 months when barack obama ran for president. the same republican party that would say jd vance is awesome, said doesn't have the experience to be president when kamala harris was picked as biden's vice president, she had way more experienced and jd vance elective politics, including california's a prosecutor in the united states. and this republican party said, she's not qualified. this republican party if it's jd vance at 4:37 p.m. today will say awesome. if i think i'm the only one on this i didn't break any of those stores i was involved in choosing biden i will tell you that one of the questions that you ask yourself is not just certainly those kinds of questions. what kind of message does it send, but also how will they hold up? how will they hold up? i remember when john mccain picked sarah palin and barak obama's initial reaction was, well, i get woman independent. but he said, we're this run for national office thing is tough. he said took me a long time to figure it out.

now, maybe she's a great talent and can jump into this maelstrom and thrive and prosper. you said, but i give it a month in a month? from that day she did the katie couric interview and that was the end. one of the questions i'm sure he's been he should be asking is how these people going to hold up well i'm sorry, i'm need to go to kaitlan collins right now. >> what right now? just onstage, we're hearing from vickie drama. and who is the secretary of the convention? kaitlan collins, on the floor. over to you jake obviously, we're just getting underway with all of the beginnings of the convention, pledge of allegiance the song and everything. i'm right here out to the florida delegation. obviously that is key because it is going to be what put donald trump over the top. to officially get the nomination au. also, they're getting the news that senator marco rubio himself has been informed kyiv will not be donald trump's vice because, it, until pick obviously that would have created a bit of a complication given rubio is a resident of florida and there were questions of whether or not he'd have to move and whatnot. i do have a member of the florida delegation here with me who is going to be a delegate. darlene rizzo swap or it's

great to have you first before we get into your state. that's going to be the one to put donald trump over the top what's your reaction to the news that senator marco rubio will not be donald trump's running mate on the ticket. well, that was my question. if he is a florida resident, unless one of them moves, i wouldn't have been possible, but my pick from the beginning was always at least the stefanik. i love her. she's very powerful conservative that we have in the house i love our platform. she's very well-respected she's has an excellent voting record along party lines. and i think that she could bring in the women vote. i think that would have been a better choice for vp, but that's my you know, my estimation. what do you make of the other options? it's north dakota governor doug burgum, ohio senator jd vance. either of those would you like to see them? ai like jd vance, i think he's been very loyal to trump and i think he'd be a great conservative and it's a personality concern, right? so trump is very powerful in his own right. i think it has to be somebody that could allow trump

to be trump in the vp pvp. and then also be strong enough to be ready to step in in case you know, if that ever happens to step in and be president. so it has to be somebody worthy and capable of doing that. >> darlene syriza swap our great to have you. thank you. this is of course the florida delegation, jake, it will be incredibly, incredibly celebratory here and a few moments and i should note there is a row about five or six chairs at the front that are reserved for donald trump's immediate family members. so we will see donald trump junior, tiffany trump, eric trump. we saw those names at the front. so expect to see them at the front when their father does meet that line and that threshold to cross over into enough delegates to officially become the republican nominee. jake top over from the florida delegation to the ohio delegation because phil mattingly is with the governor of ohio, mike dewine and phil, thanks. jackie, i am here with governor mike dewine and governor i think the question on everybody's mind right now inside this arena is somebody from your delegation who may become the next vice president of the united states, or at least be nominated b. so had

you heard any thank at this point, au hear a lot, but i'm not sure we know what's going to happen yet. certainly there's a lot of talk on the floor about jd vance and that would be a great thing for ohio but we're waiting to hear from the president 26 can i ask you? >> you hosted the 2016 ohio hosted the 2016 convention. >> this is a very different moment than it was in 2016 in terms of unity behind the former president. do you sense that here as well? >> well, it certainly as we were at that convention and certainly it's different because it's certainly a unified party behind president trump. there's no doubt about that temporary. >> what do you think in the wake of the assassination attempts the party, the president's former president's message should be going forward in this general election well, i think what president trump, former president trump has said so far has been very good. first of all, we're so grateful that he was not killed but i think that what he has said basically what that's tone this down some has been very consistent with the

two presidents, president biden and former president trump are really saying the same thing i think that would be a great thing for this country. look, we know what our differences are between the parties. we know there's evil when differences within each party. and these two things can be debated and should be as we've always done throughout our history. but we need to tone this down. i think the people of the country want us to do that they want us to have a good, a good debate, a tough part debate. but to do it in a way that's respectful. and i think what we've what's president trump has been saying last few days, i think is spot on and i think it's a good thing do you think it can last we can only hope. we can only hope, you know, we vote. both parties have a responsibility to try to do this. we all know the differences. we know that what the issues are and they campaign, but there is a way of doing it. i think what this reminds us is almost horrible tragedy is that we are one country and we should be celebrating what brings us together yeah, that's certainly the message that trump campaign

has been trying to push for governor mike dewine. >> we appreciate it so much. back to you, jake. thanks so much fell at any moment, we could learn the identity of donald trump's vice presidential pick. >> we're standing mean by for that, as well as for former president trump's official nomination. there's much more ahead on cnn special coverage of the republican national convention we're going to squeeze in a quick break. we'll be right back. do you think that our democracy i'm proceed is at risk. >> we have to be very concerned why do you think he's doing this? >> and can he be talked out do you think he's guilty? with jake tapper weekdays it for on cnn 20 seconds a week to lose 20% of your weight in a year with diet and exercise that's the power of glp-ones through roe, connect with the provider today at row.com slash 20 we're coming together for our yearly service project and running a

t-shirt fundraiser through custom ink to help the cause. >> plus their design services team helped us get a design we love come together for a cause, get started today, accustoming pham brian gary in today we're talking about the biggest misconception there is about replacement windows i'm here with ted cones, the project manager for renewal by anderson to talk about it. >> yeah. one of the big things we hear from homeowners is i shouldn't need to replace my windows. there is not that old but here's the thing homebuilders put in high-end kitchens and bathrooms, and low and windows. just aren't that good. so even if your windows are only seven to 10-years-old, they may still need to be replaced. >> said this so many window companies out there, what's different about your company? >> well, besides being the full service replacement window division of anderson we're the company people tend to call when they're particular about their home. they don't want just any old window or enable installed. >> so your standards for installers are pretty high, right? >> yeah, brian, you can have the best window or door in the

world than if it's not installed correctly, it's going to fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters inciting on the side our window installation teams do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them. >> anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies, they get stuck in the blame game. yeah. with other companies, if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames them manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer said, is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. window, patio door, or entry door? and

really been steps away from this convention hall for the last day or so, waiting on pins and needles for that phone? >> i'm call from former president donald trump as kaitlan was just saying, there governor burgum has been a loyal soldier and a surrogate for donald trump. you'll remember he actually ran for president on his own. it was one year ago here in milwaukee. he was on the debate stage. of course, that fizzled out after the early votes, but i am told by a republican close to the governor that he says governor

burgum supports president trump. and whoever he decides to choose. so that is the question here now, on the floor, i'm standing on the podium or the official business will begin including that nomination for the vice president. that's extraordinary. no one knows who that will be. of course, the process of elimination is playing out just like donald trump would like it. again, it's a game of elimination, but for now, north dakota governor doug burgum, we know is also off the list. anderson, jeff zeleny. thanks back with the team here. jonah goldberg, kate bedingfield, alyssa farah, griffin van jones, scott jennings scott. i mean jd vance is the only name less left on the list of three that a lot of people have been talking about. it's possible there could be somebody else out there surprise. >> yeah, that's been alluded to today. but there are other names floating around, but obviously the focus is on vance right now and has some kise to kentucky like me, he's the senator from ohio. he's had an interesting journey started out kind of as a never trumper. think he even voted for evan mcmullin for president in 2016.

but his sense said i was wrong about donald trump. now, his journey is not that much different than a lot of other republicans who didn't support donald trump in 2016, who've now mostly come around to supporting him and he has become one of the high priests of trumpism and of maga inside the republican party. and in american politics, he's very young. and so choosing someone like this for vice president is a clear signal of a passing of the torch when donald trump finally exits the stage, whenever that happens to be, obviously vance would be in a position to carry it forward. >> he's also gotten support of donald trump's son, don junior, who has been a very, very vocal supporter of his other thing with vance's this. yes, he is taken up the trumpest mantle of populism. a very different direction that the republican party is going but having worked for vice president pence and seeing how they interacted in the white house, that what trump wants in a vice president is not someone who's going to outshine him, not someone who's going to drive more headlines than him who's going to get more

attention when he travels on the world stage. i've always been skeptical of this pick for that reason. we also know that loyalty is a big factor. and i think it's hard to be truly convinced that somebody who called him america's hitler as recently as 2016 moral disaster in reprehensible is truly a convert to trumpism. now i would not rule out a wildcard here, but there is the eye and i also think he's that he's a bit of a risky pick. i think that he's extremely polarizing. he doesn't add anything, trump himself, doesn't have, but he does have to face families support and that's big. and if you think about what donald trump has to do here, i mean, he has, he needs to win support with suburban women. he needs to one of the pieces of the coalition that he's weakest with. i'm not sure that jd vance is somebody who gets you there as you're thinking about what a vice presidential nominee can add to your ticket. i think as alyssa was saying, i mean, he really played doubled down on some of the most alienating things about maga-ism for that universe of people. so i think it is an interesting choice. he's certainly somebody who has a big megaphone and can go

out there and carry the, carry the flame, carry the banner for donald trump. i'm not sure that he actually does the persuasive work but i think ultimately is where this election is gonna be decided. i absolutely agree that i think there's still a dark horse candidate out there. i still think i'm sure i'll be i'll be shouted down later, but i still think nikki haley as a possibility here. you had donald trump come out of the events this weekend, say he wants to put forward a unifying message. he said he's alluded to the fact that his choices gonna be a surprise. if you want to, if you want to send a message that your about, you use the name unify and another another possibility i would argue that haley carries a little bit more of the she sends a more unifying signal in this moment yeah i think there's a lot of logic to picking nikki haley in terms of winning over the haley anti-trump vote. >> the problem is, is that haley divides the gop now in a way that a glenn youngkin does not every, not everybody loves glenn youngkin, but nobody hates glenn youngkin in the gop

coalition. there are people who have very hard feelings it's about nikki haley. i think they should get over them, but maybe they would have trump pecker because the party would would unify around anybody i agree with amanda on vance though, the pick has never made much sense to me in that people always say, well, he can win over blue collar people in ohio and michigan the blue-collar people that are inclined trying to go for trump are already going for trump. and jd vance is not the guy to win them over and he's certainly not the guy to win over skeptical suburban housewives or any of those that crowd but i've also always said instead of a bunch of times on air that the more the trump team thinks he's going to win, the more advances chances improve because he's not a campaign pick. he's a governing pick to put in much more serious maga people in all of those positions in government that mike pence did a lot of good work doing. and that

spells a real change in the republican party they're going forward if that, if that's the case, then this is scary dude scary dude, because if you are hoping that after this near death experience, we're going to have a kumbaya convention. is it not a kumbaya pit? and so this would signal that donald trump is planning on doing a lot of hard governing he's got somebody in there who is a pit bull. he's an attack dog. he went to law school. he's going to be in there making a whole bunch of stuff happen. so if you're worried about the project 2025 and all types christa, this is a guy that's going to really keep you up at night. the only thing i want to say is that we've talked a lot about biden not being healthy now sharp is not helping donald trump is each cheeseburgers all times he's got a heart disease that's been reported. this could be the president noted states here. we talked about kamala harris. if jd vance is next in line, either now or

later, you're talking about a hardening of the republican party around a maga agenda with a very capable guy that does scare the crap out. a lot of democrats. and so this is not going to be a kumbaya convention if he's a pit coming up, suspense building for the announcement of donald trump's vice presidential pick for standing by for that and for trump's official nomination for president would be back our, this election season stay with cnn cnn with more reporters on the ground. and the best political team in the business follow the voters, follow the results follow the facts follow cnn with chewy. it's never been easier to get their favorite toy delivers again, like and again and again

marquardt in washington and this is cnn we're live at the republican national convention here in milwaukee battleground states, wisconsin standing by for the identity of donald trump's running mate to be revealed, cnn has learned that two of the three contenders that we've known about senator marco rubio and north dakota governor doug burgum, both of them have been told they have not been chosen. there's this third other contender, ohio senator jd vance, apparently still in the running. and also there's always a possibility of a wildcard let's go to cnn's phil mattingly, who is with the ohio delegation filled do they know anything that we don't jake, what's been fascinating is there has been a buzz as there has been reporting about the two individuals who were in the running that are no longer in the running, that seems to leave it to one au though, people knew how delegation, so they're of knowledge of anything at this point, but it's been fascinating. you see cameras coming over to the ohio delegation, which in the last couple of cycles has not necessarily been the battleground or the center stage for politics as it used

to be. i'm joined now by the lieutenant governor, john, who said, i'll ask you what jake tapper just asked me. do you know anything about whether or not jd vance will be this election for vice president? well, i think that there are a lot of us that are hopeful that's going to happen. it's never official until it's announced. i'm pretty optimistic general election race it's got a little red. >> i would say over the course of the last few cycles, what does it mean for the state? they have jd vance, should he get this nomination? well, it means a great thing for the country because jd vance is a made america great again, advocate. he's full throated defender of donald trump's agenda. he's in articulate one, he has a great background and grew up in poverty. he was a marine corps veteran he has he's an articulate advocate for we're closing the borders, making made in america. agenda for, for manufacturing

protecting our communities. he's just got it all and would make a great nominee. and certainly the people from ohio are did you guys see buckeyes earlier somewhere? can we see the russian state jd is a graduate of the ohio state university, so he's pretty excited about and as a fellow graduate of the ohio state university, jake, i should say it is a great institution, a politically a great institution. >> jake, back to you. >> we're going to get daniel dale to fact check team out on that later on. let's go to kaitlan collins, who's well near the michigan delegation. and right now, kaitlan, what are you hearing about the vetting process for whomever president trump picked to be vice president jake, i should just note when we're talking about ohio, michigan is actually the ones that have the national championship right now. obviously, i would do that because they beat alabama. but on this front of this vp pick and what this has been looking light, let me just shed some light on how crazy this has been over the last several days inside trump's world where it was very clear that donald trump is someone who is often influenced by the last person he speaks to are the last person to kind of put in a good

afternoon. i'm chairman michael j. mcdonald from the state of nevada it's been an honor of a lifetime to stand by president trump's side since 2015 in nevada, we held the first in the west caucus where we blew the democrats narrative apart. but you cannot have voter id that you could not have paper ballots. and then you could not have results of an election on election night in nevada a state that is resilient on service industry president trump has proposed to eliminate taxes on tips on day one unlike the biden harris administration and the democrats that increase taxes on tips president trump

has transformed our party to the champion of the working men and women we fight for what's right not for what's easy route a battle for the soul of our nation. because we want the best future for our family and for our country president trump is our fearless leader who stood who stood with, withstood the persecution of a weaponized law, fair? and it was fought even harder and stronger to represent and fight for all of us i asked all americans to join me and taking back our nation by supporting president trump as he leaves us back to victory. once again it is my

honor, to second the nomination of donald j. trump for the office of the president of the united states of america god bless you. >> all right. we've been hearing some nomination speeches from state party chairman. we heard a rousing nomination speech from jeff kaufmann, the chairman of the iowa republican party, the iowa caucus obviously the first one this year to give president trump the nadh out to be the nominee of the party than we just heard from michael mcdonald the nevada gop chairman, who gave a second. and nevada obviously a battleground states and we have a musical interlude right now michael mcdonald, not the one from the doobie brothers, so different michael mcdonald so he sadly not providing the reusable interlude. dana, we

should not discount the possibility that even though of the three that we've believed to be the finalists, to be donald trump's running mate two of them, marco rubio and doug burgum. we've been told that they are not the nominee. we have not yet heard from ohio senator jd vance we should note i think, as 39-years-old turning 40, next month there's also the possibility of some dark horse candidate, somebody who may be speaking tonight we don't know, for instance, virginia governor glenn youngkin is in a battleground state that there was a recent poll showing that trump is only three points behind in that purple state and he's speaking this evening. i'm not saying we know anything we do not. there were rumors aplenty out there on the floor, but it is possible that we don't that it's not jd vance possible that buzz slash remember witching hour? yeah as we up for the actual announcement to come, as you mentioned, glenn youngkin is speaking tonight. he's on schedule. i was told

that he is being given a little bit more time to speak tonight. now, if he for the actual running mate, he would have a completely different day to speak does it were just tea leaf reading, right? >> lot of people speaking tonight that are definitely not going to be the nominee because there are yes, because there are these cards are being held very close the former president's best as as others as well what we do know is that this is the drama, this is the made for tv sort of performative aspect of politics that donald trump absolutely save casey. >> yeah, well, one of the things at van touched on this earlier, but one thing that, you know, as i've been talking privately with republicans leading up to this, is the reality that this weekend change, this race if fundamentally altered this race. and for someone like like donald trump, who is willing to do things that shock and awe,

so to speak, in terms of the media and the attention that he's getting. i do think there are very real the questions and fan mentioned that jd vance has said inflammatory things in the past and within hours of the assassination attempt, he was talking can you about the rhetoric that president biden has used and directly connecting it with the assassination attempt. and that was something that, you know, others in the party trying to steer clear from and frankly, what we heard from the former president himself in the hour since doesn't line up with that. he is speaking about it being something that has spiritually affected him, that it was divine intervention from god. i mean, i've gotten notes from democrats who have read some of the things he has said on truth, social, and said, let's listen in speaker johnson speaking right? as required by rule 37 of the convention rules during the roll-call, the states will be called in the order determined by the secretary of the convention during the roll-call, the chairs of each respective delegation or their designee will announce the vote

read if i can read. so we're gonna have we have this announcement is a donald trump truth social bit. after lengthy deliberation and thought and considering the tremendous talents of many others, i have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of vice president of the united states as senator jd vance of the great state of ohio jd honorably served our country in the marine corps, graduated from he says ohio state university, i should say the ohio state university. i've been told in two years, soon become louder and is a yale law school graduate where he was editor of the yale law journal and president of the aulaw veterans association jds book hillbilly elegy became a major bestseller and movie as a champion, the hard working men and women of our country, jd, has had a very successful business career in technology in finance, and now during the campaign will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for the american workers and farmers in pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, ohio, minnesota and far beyond that came at to aufor pm central time so three 04 let us go to phil mattingly,

who is i believe with the ohio delegation until i hope that the adding the in that message didn't it didn't alarm anybody, but reliably, you're supposed to call it z ohio state university. that's what you've drilled into my head. so there wasn't a lot a lot right now. it must be allowed trade now. the wind is actually reading the truth social post as the delegation is learning about this right now, i asked if they wanted to discuss it, and they actually wanted to wait and see and make sure not because they didn't believe it, but but they knew that it could go any different way so as they're reading these posts right now, i'm actually going to show you elie from ohio as they are learning this basically in real-time. governor, i want to ask you, i know you were very cautious throughout this process. you know, it could go any different way. now, we know that the former president is selected, jd vance, what do you think? >> well, we're very happy. this is a great day for ohio ohio truleo's the heart of it all as we say. and now we have the vice presidential candidate, but we hope the next vice president, united states

and jd vance what point did you know? >> i mean, i saw you reading social media posts was that when you knew or did you have like a little bit of insight? >> sure. until you see it yeah. i've been around this business for a while and now we thought it was going to be jd, but we did not know that lieutenant governor who said, did you have any insight into this process beforehand or was that at the first you learned of it officially? well, i think we've known for a few days that it was likely, but it's never done until it's done. and when donald trump oh, sit and says that's a nominee than we can all move forward with a great deal of joy here in ohio. governor, before i toss it back to jake, jake, i think the big question right now is does this help the former president? does this change the dynamics you've been in politics and awfully long time what is the vice presidential selection mean? >> well, we're going to win ohio. how we want it twice by eight percentage points but i think jd vance will be a great nominee for vice president. he brings a lot to the ticket he brings a great american story and unbelievable story. who served in the military is

extremely articulate. he has the ability to take donald trump's positions and articulate in just a very, very good way for understandable way. so real keys. gotten a new generation. this a new generation of leaders in this country and jd you've answered is going to be the next vice president, united states. all right. governor mike dewine, governor john, he said, we appreciate it, jake, back to you. >> thanks so much. phil mattingly and it is exciting news. we have starting kristen holmes, jd vance, he's 39, he's been married for ten years. he has three kids. this will be the first ever cnn commentator ever put on a presidential ticket. did jd vance? it's briefly served as a cnn commentator after the publication of his book, hillbilly elegy, kristen holmes, what more can you tell us about this pick yeah. >> so we've had lots of conversations around on who donald trump was going to pick talking about those top three contenders, north dakota governor doug bergam, senators, marco rubio and senator jd vance. and around vance, the conversation continued to be if he chooses jd vance, he is looking to secure his legacy in

the maga movement, as you noted, he is 39-years-old and it is clear to everyone, including former president donald trump that obviously on day one of an potential trump admitted mr. asian, jd vance is likely to start running for president in 2028, but that would mean that donald trump would secure this message of populism that has really taken over the republican party. and jd vance, as you noted, was a cnn commentator he was also a never trumper back in 20 2017. he was somebody who had spoken out very critically against the former president when i asked people around them how it was the donald trump overcame that somebody who cares so deeply about loyalty. they said that jd was able to win him over not just threw himself, but also through his son don junior. don junior has been one of the biggest proponents of jd vance constantly building him up to both his father and publicly as well. john, the tea leaves that we had seen, is that donald trump's team seems to be very receptive to jd vance as well.

i will note that vance was the only of these three potential candidates who went with donald trump on a west coast swing recently burgum did meet them there. but part of the reasoning was because jd vance had secured relationships with a number of silicon valley tech moguls included and david sachs, who's speaking later tonight. this was a huge coup for donald trump. this is a world that he had never really ventured up into so clearly we had seen this moving and inching in this direction, but it is interesting when you hear about donald trump and jd vance, a lot of this is tim really securing his legacy and moving that maga movement forward. jake all right kristen holmes, thanks so much. >> let's go to kaitlan. collins is on the lauren obviously, the big exciting news here for the republican delegates is the fact that president trump has picked senator from ohio, jd vance. he's 39-years-old so almost 40 years younger than donald trump at the top of the ticket. this is the favorite pick of donald

trump's son donnie junior. and this is without question a generational change for the republican party, handing the baton as it were work caitlin. >> yeah, jake and i think it raises a lot of questions about what this is going to look like for the maga agenda. because when donald trump was president, obviously the last time mike pence was not a threat to him necessarily politically, he was someone who bolstered the ticket in 2016 with evangelicals. but one part of the consideration in this veepstakes has been whether or not donald trump it would view the person that he picked as his vice president as potentially a threat to one who wanted to be the heir apparent to maga. obviously, senator jd vance is someone who as you noted, is incredibly young as big political aspirations and right now, they are noting that that jd vance has been the picked as vice president. a lot of delegates here, jake are not able to watch tv. they're not on their phones, they're learning about this all in real time, but i will tell you one thing that has been happening behind the scenes as kristen holmes just alluded to, is this

push for vance in recent days as donald trump was kind of waffling on his pig, everyone had always believed that he favored vance the most but in recent days, he had been asking people about burgum, about rubio. he was even throwing out names, jake like the texas governor, greg abbott, and even nikki haley. that is how donald trump's brain works during the selection process. but i will note donald trump junior went to his dad in recent days and made a final push for senator vance and i should note, i'm standing right thank here by five empty chairs. one of them has donald trump juniors name on it. that is where he is going to be here any moment now, they've cleared a pathway for the family as they are about to come in here because this is the florida delegation, which of course is going to officially put their father over the top as the roll call continues, ohio is going to come soon and obviously that is the home state of the bradley knew the brand newly named aimed running mate jd vance. >> and after that, we will hear florida, which will put president trump over the top to be the nominee. let's listen

in the 45th and 47th president of the united states, john donald, john trump pursuant to the announcement of the delegates and the roads of procedures of this convention maryland 37 votes president trump texas madam secretary i'm april him, chairman of the republican party of texas. >> not only your taxes is the economic donald trump did your

dad picking senator vance, who are just vice president? i think it's incredible pick. i think he's an incredible guy with an amazing story both in business and in life. and i think it's just going to be an incredible person to unify this country. >> and what did you say to your dad in recent days about why? because he was considering other names as you know, what did you say to him in recent days about why it should be senator vance listen, i think i've seen him on tv. >> i've seen him prosecute the case against the democrats. i think no one's more articulate than that and i think his story, his background really helped us in a lot of the places that you're going to need from the electoral college standpoint. and i think it's just gonna be a great choice. >> when did you find out that he had made the pick of senator van double seconds ago thank you i'm 61 off our daily against for the 40 you left

the breach liberation that is not a

subjective statement about it. it is about the fact that donald trump has gone over the top in terms of the need for 1,215 delegates florida giving 125 delegates to donald trump. he has officially become the nominee. you heard eric trump, his second oldest son, standing there with his daughter, tiffany his wife lara trump and his brother, donald trump junior, giving florida as delegates to donald trump. he is now officially the third official republican nominee. third time's the charm perhaps well, it certainly worked for him the first time. and this is as we said before, a very, very, very different vibe from

the last time we had a in-person convention. 2020 for a whole let's go to kaitlan collins right now, who's on the floor? kaitlan and jake. thank you. i'm here with donald trump junior. obviously, he was just talking about how his dad picked his selection for vice president senator jd vance. but how's your time doing overall since saturday night is doing well, i mean, obviously it was a pretty somber moment. i was with my kids on a saturday evening and i get this news that he's been shot, but i couldn't get a hold of anyone who was in lockdown at the hospital took about 90 minutes. so there was a long time, 90 minutes where you could talk to speak to him. it really know what was going on and when i did, he was you know, some shock but a lot of resolve he was able to he was joking about it and talking about it in a way that only my father could do, but it was just that moment when he stood up after being shot at just showed resolve to keep fighting for this country that that was everything for me. i just literally told him i go, you're the biggest badass i know we had some jokes about that. that was the first thing i thought that think of even in that moment because it was that

powerful and that's the kind of resolve that's why we had peace deals under trump. that's why we had a great economy. you need that we're watching right now. the weakness that's led our country into all of these disasters into these wars. and it's because that's the nature of predation when a predator sees weakness that were exuding on the world stage, they pounce. and so i think it's gonna be important to get that back and i'm looking forward to know right now that boo was at center for mitch mcconnell. i should note that tiktok, kentucky delegation has over there. but on that, how has that changed? do you think how your dad is approaching this convention and this campaign overall, has it changed i think it has. >> i mean, i know he he basically scrapped his speech that they'd been working on. i was in office when they were working with it for hours last week and i think they just started from scratch with just a different message. we are going to try to unite this country. i mean, i take that kind of moment of just just shocking moment that really changed. i think even in his mindset of what we need to do to replace everything.

basically, like we all got the directive like, hey, whatever you were doing i tend to get a little bit hot so we're going to tone it down to keep it keep a different message out there. i think that's going to be important. i think it's gonna be important for us to move forward that way as a country, is that what your dad? himself? i mean, i know we've heard from political advisors and sources i wanted yet listen. my dad, this is his political advisor. when you hear some people when he speaks to the crowds that he doesn't listen to the pollsters or he doesn't look at polling, he doesn't make decisions that are bad because a poll says it's point to basis points more. he doesn't think that way he understand and he listens to the people. he trusts his own gut instinct and he's done pretty well with that throughout his career, house, you have you talked to him today. how's he reflecting on just the fact that 48 hours ago this happened listen, i think he's moving forward. >> that's what he is. he's is a fighter. he's gonna get back in the game. he's never going to be pushed aside. you know, they've tried to go after him for so many ways, whether it was the businesses where his throwing him in jail up to and including the death penalty in that they've just tried everything to stop him he's not

meant to be stopped, is meant to help fix this country. >> donald trump junior. thank you for showing us some insights. obviously, jake there on how his death had everybody really i'm actually it's donald trump and how hard he actually thought under donald trump, we actually ensure cheerleader in this country. we have a cheerleader anymore. we don't even want even have leadership. i that people aren't around they're not present the policy suck we're going to win this thing, make no mistake about it. >> jake, i'm sitting here with eric trump are woven into the past, like senator vance. well, it's been a pretty somber mood, right? i mean, my father got shot at somebody, took off half his ear but i can tell you my father's never been more determined than he is right now. he is he's more determined to make america great again he's gotten incredible fighting spirit, no different than when he's pumping his hand in the air with blood running across his face and i'm really proud of him. i've never been more proud as a child, as a son he's a remarkable human being. he's got backbones unlike any person i've ever met before, and as i said before, we're going to win and we're going to restore prosperity this country and he's going to make america great again. thanks guys jake,

that was eric trump back to you. >> thanks. >> phil. and let's let's take this all in. first of all, dana now we should note, i mean, in another display of just how much donald trump has remade the republican party when kentucky was providing its delegates to donald trump. and the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, who is in no small way responsible for donald trump's successful four years getting conservative jurists on benches, which in many ways has helped donald trump in the last few weeks. i think it's fair to say he was resoundingly booed by the crowd here again, this is this is, this is a republican party that has been completely remade and refashioned into the trump republican party. that was i mean, quite a moment, not only jurists on the bench across the federal bench, but he almost physically put his body between barack obama and the nominee that he felt that he could put

on the bench and oconnell block death as a result of that, donald trump got three supreme court justices on the highest court in the land and we've seen just in the past year what that court has done in the past month, but that court has done to promote the wishes of donald trump on a host of issues including and especially the issue of immunity. but on the question that we just saw the big issue which is donald trump becoming for the third time, the official nominee of the republican party this is a moment for the history, books. and this is a moment for this party to finally make its, its last tick towards being 100% party of donald trump, as you were talking about mcconnell, dana it just reminded me that the other thing that mcconnell

did for donald trump was as trump faced impeachment after january 6 mcconnell threw him a lifeline by not backing actually convicting him of the charges against him and it was that series of events in that time that led to this moment right here, where the people who thought that donald trump was permanently politically damaged on what had happened in that time realized that he really wasn't but he was going to be rehabilitated. you saw kevin mccarthy go down to florida and over the course of the last three years, donald trump has been building and building and building to this point where there is virtually no dissent anymore in the republican party about who is the leader of the republican party. and you heard actually don junior saying the greatest president, republican president in american history, au forget about ronald reagan in a lot of

the minds of a lot of republicans today that person is now donald i want to bring it back if i can, to the fact that the running mate, the big news of the day is that the running mate will be senator jd vance republican, of ohio, david urban and david axelrod, your thoughts? >> yeah. jake, i think it's really signals a big shift in the republican party this isn't going to be a party of the hillbilly elegy. this is the this is what they're talking about, what jd vance is going to what you heard, don junior talking about he's, got to, go out and campaign for blue collar voters in kentucky, western pennsylvania. i think that's what you'll see vance out really work at the hustings to kind of reshape that the party has been shifting, as we know, we've talked about this away from the kind of liberal northeast republicans now become democrats and the reagan democrats become republicans. and i think this pick signals a further shifted that direction for working class men and women in america, you are not really welcomed this party you are the party and i think jd vance is picked signals that and he's gonna go out and do that. and also advance because it as a

foot and silicon valley, let's not forget, he i don't know who talked about this, but he helped secure the fundraiser with david sacks who can speak later. he was the picket elon musk of law it's those rights leaders who you is a big case so he is, he's got a foot in appalachia and in silicon valley, which i think is really interesting and it is energizing 2028 it's been wiped out. all those republicans who are mentioned, nikki haley, i would've ran for president this time. they are done youngkin, anyone who thinks they want to be president and republican presidents, 28. well, we're going to take a long time 32 but it makes they're pushing a big rock up a hill. listen if you're donald trump's pick, we don't know what's going to happen next week plus in 2020 with a little less exuberance. let me but i listened, you know, i forget which of the trump boys said two things that i think very much go to the core of this choice. one was he's good on tv making the case. donald

trump approach this whole process like a casting director, he was watching these guys with you and others on tv to see who could bring the case? and vance was very, very good at that. but this point that dave is making, there is a very narrow path for joe biden in this race. if he has a path moving forward that is too in pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, places where john has been spending a lot of time. jd vance is a true populace he talks about the damage of that. globalization has done to these areas. he's for tariffs a heavy tariffs and he speaks the language of voters in those small towns and rural areas in working class communities in those states, if he can help them win those states, he can seal this deal. can i for joe biden, the we've talked about this yet, which is the facial hair issue because at one point when people who are discussing possibilities

one of the knocks on jd vance was that he had a beer. he has facial hair and supposedly donald trump hates facial hair and they've evolved, he's not going to pick a running mate. he has to live with for four years. he's got facial hair and trump was asked about it and he said, you know, i think he looks like a young abraham lincoln had at that point, he had won the facial hair primaries, maybe the fix was in for a long time ago. abraham lincoln, by the way. famously unattractive to the point that somebody accused him of being too faced. and lincoln said, if i were to faced with this, be the face that i picked but obviously, very good. abraham lincoln. thank you so much abraham. >> like it might also be on list of other people's list of greatest american presidents or write but look to david's point about jd vance. i think it is interesting that he can go into those working class that's neighborhoods. that is his mo but that is more proof of how this republican party, this is my 19th presidential

convention, 21, if you could recount the reform party conventions this is. a populist republican party. sure. this is not ronald reagan's party anymore. it's not george w bush party anymore. this is donald trump's party. it is a populist republican party that is not the free trade party of the older and not, you brain hasn't come up yet. it's not. where do we stand on the world stage, republican party, it is a new republican party. number one, i also want to say one of the thing that hasn't been mentioned, it will not be the story by the end of the day but a challenge when you have the convention is who wins the narrative? there? publicans dominate their narrative or the democrats take things that happen here and turn them into a story the first words that donald trump's convention or spoken by michael watley, an election denier let's stop the steal guy. this. he is nomination was seconded by mike mcdonald, the chairman of the nevada republican party, who is understate indictment for the fake elector scheme. jd vance also played not to the degree they did played with the whole idea of mike pence should have allowed the debate about fake electors on the floor of the united states congress. he

would have been good for the country. he wasn't a senator at the time? correct. but he should have allowed that debate and so again, the republicans watching going to say, oh please john, let it go well, i would let it go if they would let it go. if they would say sorry, we got caught up in the heat of the moment. we were so so in love with donald trump. we've said the election was stolen but there's new trump republican party, there is a populist republican party is also dominated by people who denied the basic facts and map of the 2020 election to this day. >> so mike pence at the end of the day, we are sticking with what you are talking about here, because the role that mike pence played on january 6 was central to the outcome ultimately, which is, you know, joe biden rightfully in the white house. and this is kind of pulling together and watching mitch mcconnell be booed. he is obviously an elderly man. now as jd vance, 39 in that same body which mcconnell is now retiring from leading, going to stay in the senate, but it's going to give

up his title as senate majority leader says so much from a symbolic perspective. and while i do think a forest david is jumping ahead to 20 28, we're not we're not quite there yet. it is this weight mean we've talked also about how donald trump values loyalty. he does not necessarily want to pick someone who's going to try to compete with him. but what he is doing is making decision here that says, i am going to jews, the people who are going to be at the forefront here. it is going to be me who decides those things. and he seems to be willing to take this risk here because this on one hand, we heard down trump junior down the floor there say, well, my dad told me, you know, it goes i can get hot. donald trump junior says it's about himself. my dad told me we got to cool it down because obviously the rhetoric is what? but it is. so that's what's coming from the family. jd vance has not necessarily conducted himself that way. >> so some of the quotes from jd vance on the election, just on that point, john king, he baselessly said, i think the election was stolen from trump. he falsely said there were certainly people voting illegally on a large-scale basis. these are things that

both trump's white house counsel, trump's attorney general court after court. but election board after election board, governor after governor said or not true and it is also it is also worth noting that the very reason that mike pence is not only not his running mate but not here the republican convention and not necessarily even voting for trump is because of what happened on january 6. and the fact that donald trump in his view, intensive this view, helped put his life and the life of his family in danger during the january 6 insurrection. now that donald trump is officially a three-time republican presidential nominee, we expect his newly announced running mate, senator jd vance to be nominated soon. there's much more ahead as our convention. coverage continues residents when you saw this guilty plea, were you surprised? >> do you think the criticism has been there has brain court might take this up. what's the

outcome though? how's that for a cliffhanger america? >> laura coates live weeknights at 11 eastern on cnn this better with the credit god's on your side. rewards once available to the few are now accessible well to the many credit one bank get cashback rewards and lives large waterpik sonic fusion, let you brush and floss with a touch of a button and it's clinically proven to be twice as effective as regular brushing and flossing regular brushing only cleans the surface. >> sonic fusion easily cleans away all debris. visit water picked off com today i go into the car dealership i'm going to check out dr. time, dr. crime of flipped the script on a carb

out of five employers who post on ziprecruiter did a quality candidate within the first day try for free at ziprecruiter.co m slash higher. >> i'm lauren fox on hale and this in milwaukee republican convention, delegates are buzzing about donald trump's newly revealed running mate senator jd vance of ohio. we expect center vance be formally nominated for vice president very soon as source tells cnn, we expect to see him as well, the biden harris campaign is now responding to donald trump's choice advance as his running mate want to get to phil mattingly with that phil, what are they saying you know, anderson just about ten seconds ago, donald trump junior, one of the biggest advocates for jd vance behind the scenes, walked by at around the same moment we got that statement from the biden harris harris campaign from the chairwoman jen o'malley, dillon. >> in that statement saying donald trump, pick jd vance is running mate because vance will do what mike pence wouldn't on january 6, bend over backwards to enable trump and his it's extreme maga agenda, even if it means breaking the law. and no

matter the harm to the american people, it is a very lengthy statement on policy issues, on political perspective, on whether or not there would be a level of subservience to the former president should the win. again, i think when you talk to democrats leading into this, there some concern about the midwestern appeal that vance in ohio, senator, who pushed this populist policies and littered. now, one of the leading advocates for a new populist republican party on the policy front, what it would actually mean to that critical blue wall, those blue wall states one thing democrats make clear though, both in that statement from jen o'malley dillon, but also in the lead up to this moment, they feel like there are significant areas where they plan to attack. they already are attacking and certainly there will be more attacks on the policy, the politics, and the vice presidential selection in the days and weeks ahead, anderson yeah, phil, thanks very much. alyssa selection. jd vance mean it's a strategic gamble, but i think it speaks to just how confident that trump campaign is deja gamble was there are

major vulnerabilities with jd vance. you have tons of times that he's been on the record back when he was a never trumper calling the most terrific names that you could about that now, president for to him as america's hitler, because hitler among others, but he's also someone his talent to give him credit easy, incredibly savvy. he can appear on mainstream media and give a coherent, eloquent version of maga and go toe to toe with the best interviewer. but then he will appear on extremely far right media where he said much more outrageous things that i'm sure democrats, everyone we're digging up now to portray him as the most extreme version of maga. so there's going to be a big dump of some of the things he said on steve bannon's war room and elsewhere that i think the campaign is to be ready for war is a doug burgum would be about as safe as can be. however, jd vance, i think really resonates in key pennsylvania. he's got the story, he's got that national profile so there's some pros and some major costs. yeah, i think i think this is actually an energizing choice for democrats because he, vance represents the places where, you know, trump himself is most politically vulnerable on remember, you know, trump's

unfavorables are very high, like trump himself is a, has a lot of flaws and i think what vance does, the underscores you underscores where trump is on abortion, he obviously underscores this notion that our elections shouldn't be free and fair and that people's votes shouldn't count. and that ultimately you should get to decide if you don't like the outcome that you didn't like it. so i think what democrats are going to do here is use vance as an opportunity to get back to messaging around trump that has been successful. i mean, if you look at the 2022 midterms, part of the success democrats had was in painting. republicans as aligned with maga extremism and what vance does is give them an opportunity to go really hard at some of the things that people most dislike and find most off putting about maga extremism. so i think for the democrats, this is a little bit of a shot in the arm. so you think that the path back for joe biden with a 32% approval rating following his debate performance, following all of his withered appearances, is to

elevate a conversation about a senator from ohio that most people have never heard of in the hopes that they will then abandon their already definite views of donald trump, the most defined politician in america. >> history define, is defined in a way who is unpopular as leave got to acknowledge that you can, whose donald trump is unpopular. >> listen, joe biden, right now, you can argue, you could argue that biden has an uphill climb. >> i have said on our air many times that i think he's got an uphill climb. you cannot the donald trump himself is also an unpopular president but vance underscores a lot of the things that people dislike about him. >> listen, i think that this is an interesting choice. we're going to talk about it the issue in this election for the republicans is donald trump the issue is joe biden. these two guys are well-defined in the idea that vote mass amounts of voters are going to suddenly switch back to a president that they have lost all confidence in because of a pick of jd vance to me is not accurate. i'll just say about vance. i

don't agree with some of the conclusions he's drawn in his political evolution. i know i'm a bit i think he is a thoughtful guy. i think his service as a marine is important to him. i think he's a patriot and i do think that this idea of him being able to go out in the media and make the case you know, people would make light of that. what don junior said? it's important because what can the democrats not do right now, the president knighted states cannot make the case. so if you have a ticket that can communicate and a ticket that can't, i'll take the one that can well i think couple things. >> first of all, this is kind of like a we positive for a second because i'm not happy. we're on the positive side. as like a clinton gore, right bill clinton doubled down on gore, we're both young southerners be both the same. sorry, i just going to go quickly to kaitlan, who has that? glenn youngkin. >> can you feel the enthusiasm in here, the republican party has come together? and america

is coming together around strong leadership it's time for unity, it's time for us to put the divisions down and march forward together as one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all you were just quoting the declaration of independence and since you announced your delegates, of course, for donald trump, you also mentioned his pick for vice president jd vance. >> there was a rumor going around at some voter. donors are pushing for you, but you're speaking here tonight at this convention. obviously that has been altered by what happened on saturday night. how have you changed your speech in light of that? >> well, first of all we are all in a moment of gratefulness. gratefulness that providence was felt on saturday night and donald trump was protected we also have incredibly broken hearts today for a hero who was killed and those that were injured and so i've asked everyone to lift them up in prayer and their families tonight is a night for unity. tonight is a night to talk about the future to talk about the spirit of opportunity

in the spirit of hope that is flowing across this nation. and to describe the opportunity that sits in front of so many virginians and americans for a life that is a life of of opportunity that is what i'll talk about tonight. and i have to say we have seen the economy that donald trump will build because he's already built it an opportunity that unleashes all of those dreams and aspirations for all americans. that's what i'll talk about. you speak of unity. are you glad that the former president donald trump is invited, governor nikki haley to come and speak to reach different swaths of the republican party. absolutely. we have a big tent that is the republican party and we are filling it up in virginia. we were able to win the hispanic vote in the asian votes and more of the black vote than we've seen in in recent history. we can do this and this is our chance to not just bring together the republican party, which you see

all over here. but bring together america and i look forward to watching president trump do exactly that. >> governor glenn youngkin, thank you for your time thank you very much. anderson. back to you. >> kaitlan. thanks. van. you're talking about jd vance? yeah. well this is bonnie door democrats are frankly thrilled. i mean, they're happy because there's the dump that's coming on this guy. i mean, he has said horrific stuff about women. i mean, you're going to you're going to see jd vance with a blowtorch taken to him. but i feel sad about it because i had hopes that he would be a lot more likely. youngkin southern kid when the military went to law school, wrote a book that was about translating americans to americans. does about build that being a bridge builder that's where he started out in somehow that milk has curdled. he is now a toxic presence in american life he's not a bridge builder, he's a barnburner if you are in ukraine right now, you're terrified. he's willing to throw the ukrainians under the bus to putin. if you're a

woman, you're gonna be terrified when you see stuff he said about women. if you're an immigrant or terrified. this guy could have been one of the great unifying presences. and instead he has become one of the most people don't know him yet. they're gonna normally 24 hours this is a very dark moment for me, but i'm a southern kid. i went to the same law school and work for cnn. so i watched this guy and i had high hopes for him. he has become something that is not what he could have been, and he could have been a glenn youngkin, a unified fire. he is a divider and is a dark moment. i think republican party want a second, something that alyssa was saying before. i think that look, 2022 when when jd vance was elected, he won in a state that trump carried by eight points he won by six points the incumbent republican governor, won by 25 points. so this is not a guy who even has the full spectrum of republican gettable voters behind him. he's ease a

narrow casting figure, and i should also say and this is, this is something that just does isn't get nearly enough attention out there. gen x gets screwed, right? we've gone, we've now, i'm gen-x is there are no genics politicians coming down the pipe he's a millennial kamala harris is a very young boomer. jenna joe biden, silent generation, donald trump the silent generation we've had boomers running at this country for a long time and gen x is just getting the schiff. and i think it's just were the best generation are getting a screw, if i may on the gettable, voters it's not average every day regularly participatory republicans that is going to lead donald trump if it happens to a huge victory, it's going to be low propensity or no propensity americans who have very little engagement with the electoral system, who liked donald trump. but they need to be constantly communicated with

in different ways than normal voters in normal. the way that normal politician is what i think this is where we're trump is thinking on vance, he has this is younger. i think your point is well taken. he understands how to communicate, i think with that lower engagement voter, what does that look at the polls the less engagement you have with american politics, the more you like donald trump. and i think vance may be something of an ambassador to that crowd, which if they can increase the turnout, well, i honestly just don't buy it. i mean, i agree with, your theory of the case that low propensity voters for trump's ace in the hole? yeah. i think it's kind of ridiculous. the republican party defenestrated the most reliable voters in american politics before the old suburbans, republican voters but that's a fair point where president jd vance does not actually speak bubba very well. i don't believe what he does very well is translate baba to intellectuals which is not the same skill, he's good at that, he's good at talking to anderson cooper and explaining what the white working class

thinks he's not really good at explaining intellectual stuff to the white work, madam. >> well, and i think in this moment to coming off of this horrific assassination attempt on the former president in this notion that this is going to be a unifying convention the pairing it from the floor when i'm hearing from people who are there assessing the atmosphere is unifying. j.d. vance had the worst statement response, basically blaming joe biden for what happened, blaming democrats. a quick look through his twitter feed is calling people scumbags, calling people words. i'm not going to say on erica, this is a firebrand. he made a decision. we all know old jd vance and we know who he decided to be as republican delegates officially make donald trump the party's nominee for the third straight election, are standing by for trump's newly announced 20 to make his first-team parents will be right back madam secretary, we all saw. remember who was more breaking news, we need to share with you this morning multiple wildfires burning being in the texas panhandle a government shutdown is still on the calendar. cnn news central weekdays at seven eastern have you ever thought

right? yeah. brian, you can have the best window or door in the world than if it's not installed correctly, it's going to fail. so we don't hire please jack of all trades installers that do gutters inciting on the side our window installation teams do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them. >> anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies they get stuck in the blame game. >> yeah, with other companies, if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger-pointing are blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer said is it easy for homeowner to get a price very easy? we will out to your house. will assess your current patio door windows and then we'll give you an exact price. that's good for an entire year. so that's great information. >> thank you. >> before july 31, by one window patio door or entry door, and get the next one 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four in our financing and helped make this project more affordable with no money down, no monthly

between trump and vance before today's announcement? >> jake, we are told that the two of them had a meeting trump's mar-a-lago home on saturday before that rally in pennsylvania and before that assassination attempt, now, we did also report previously that in recent days, donald trump met with all of the vice presidential potential candidate i think that it's senator marco rubio as well as doug burgum. but the timing on vance is particularly notable and critical given what happened later that day. now i am told hold by a variety of sources that he had not come to any conclusion at the end of all of those in-person meetings, but he had continued to waffled back and forth looking for all of the things that he had put on his list. all they vice presidential pick like chemistry and securing his legacy. now of course, he has officially named device advance as his running mate, but it is a notable timing even when that meeting being occurred, jake. >> all right. kristen, thanks

so much. now, let's go over to jeff zeleny. jeff, what are you hearing from republicans about trump's decision to choose senator vance's is running out well, jake here on the floor, even as speaker mike johnson moments ago sort of tabulated the delegates here for for president donald trump he's announcing an escort committee talking to a variety republicans here there is no question. there is excitement about the pick, but there's also questions. what does senator jd vance bring to the ticket? what does he? add to the party talking to a variety of republican officials looking at house and senate races as well. many of them were hoping for someone in the mold of nikki haley, if you will, someone who could win over some of those moderate voters, perhaps jake, what this also has done in an instant, it has potentially changed the next race for president in 2028. yes, it's early to talk about that. but in one tweet from the former president, naming jd vance is running mate, is also changed this via to directory of a republican like governor

glenn youngkin, like nikki haley, like ron desantis, so many others. so what has happened here is can see jd vance would likely come to the floor in the coming minutes or hours we are certainly going to see what is the future of the republican party is well yes, there's a bit of a divide between the grassroots and the elected class, but there is no question in this decision, donald trump is looking ahead beyond his presidency all right. >> jeff zeleny, thanks so much. let's get more insight from my panel and already the democrats, the biden campaign is attacking this pick saying because they pick jd vance, because jd vance will do what mike pence did not do, and that is xy to donald trump. no matter what but the constitution says well, there is no question that what we are already hearing from democrats in addition to that, and we'll hear more and more hard jd vance's words coming back at the voters before he endorsed

donald trump and before donald trump? if endorsed him when he was running for senate in ohio? yes. he wrote a book explaining to america part of america didn't support donald trump what and who are trump voter was with hillbilly elegy, but he also was very, very dismissive tip of animosity towards donald trump paid one example. he was on our show on state of the union in may, right after the during the access hollywood, the hush money trial and i asked him about something that he said after the access hollywood tape came out and he said fellow christians, everyone is watching us when we apologize for this man. board help us. he then deleted that tweet vance is response in may hey, was booked. my view on donald trump. i have been very clear on this. i was wrong about him. i didn't think he was going to

be a good president. i was very, very very proud to be proven wrong. it's one of the reasons why i'm working so hard to get him elected. so that's his sort of spin on the change but it is an example of what you just said that he is somebody who very much in one maybe changed his tune on donald and chris wallace. if you can hear me over the sound of grand funk railroad it is also going to be interesting though so to see kamala harris versus jd vance and a vice presidential debate i actually look forward to that. absolutely i just such a statement about where these two parties are and what they wanted to communicate to voters who you looked at jd vance art line john, a lot of these issues very hard line on one of the things that the party talks about and that i know that the trump people want is the idea

of strength versus, weakness as they proceed the democrats, masculine versus feminine power and jd vance certainly not to agree, with their premise of the case, but that's certainly is jd vance is right. what donald trump was looking for a debate between jd vance with his hard-line views and has very much blue collar rock round, although he did end up going the yale law school versus kamala harris, was would really be an interesting choice for american for our campaign. that's running against i'm a harris not ready to be president. they picked someone who has quite a lot less experience than she did, even when she is descended to the vice presidency. i mean i forgot who was saying this, but just also the reps of running for an office running for the national office. it is something that takes practice i

mean, when you when i covered the 2020s, seeing all those democrats, many of whom were running for the very first time. the republican primary this time around, many republicans running through this first time. it takes them a long time to get into the groove of the scrutiny of a campaign of what like to really, actually not just be a surrogate, to be the nominee. and i think for jd vance, that's going to be a learning curve for him because he's only done it once only done it once coming up. we're about to yet are very first look at donald trump's vice presidential pick senator jd vance, republican of ohio, stay with us. we'll bring you much more of our special convention government, right? after this quick break chasing life with dr. there's sanjay gupta. >> listen wherever you get your podcast. >> hi, i'm amanda and i lost 37 pounds with go low. so i'm a hairstylist and i'm on my feet all of the time with go. i have more energy. i'm able to work

but of course now donald trump has been carved and i am standing right according to ohio's delegation, as you say, their white a crowd over your bag thankfully, everyone on the floor all the media has gathered over here. a lot of interests by delegates as well, because we are expecting senator vance to walk down that aisle. that is the first time let me see him. since donald trump announced that he has selected him to be his running mate. and on that ticket, sagas that we want to very closely to see what he says when he speaks to the microphone. he's someone who has been asked basically in every media appearance and last four months or so, if he is going to serve as donald trump's running mate, he has made clear that he would have liked to have taken that job and he was always a little bit coy as most president told, candidates and contenders typically are. so we are waiting on. senator vance to walk down this aisle. any moment here, anderson, for the first time since he was announced as the pecc kaitlan. we'll come back to you shortly for that. we also learned today back here, au, with the panel. we also learned that donald trump has met with or robert

kennedy jr. today in milwaukee. that meeting took place short time ago. it said that they also discussed the selection of jd vance and it was a smart call for donald trump to get out there and got ahead and say that rfk junior's should have secret service protection because he is somebody who's pulling it a certain threshold. and because of this moment of political violence that we're living in it's obviously the political thought there is that he wants to chip away at some of his support and that there may be a moment where rfk junior is going to endorse in this race when it becomes clear, there is absolutely no potential for him to himself be the president's. so i think it's smart to make inroads there. i think the biden team would be wise to as well you think joe biden should meet with rfk jr. larry i mean, look, i mean, if somehow you think about what's going on here in the last few days starting with the debate and then you've got trump getting cleared up on some of his legal stuff than he survives this

assassination attempt. he has this successful convention, which by the way, is nbc news poll that came out like 70% of republicans are satisfied with their choices, only 30 something percent of republicans aren't. and he's coming out with a unified party. and he instinctively knows that if he could get like the rfk crowd back in. i mean, this is a guy who is locked in on one thing winning the election. i mean, you just think about what's happening in the circumstances and the actions there on a positive vector right now. and they're the only ones but this is why i'm not sure that jd vance choice makes a ton of sense because i think he as we've discussed, i mean, he's somebody who who absolutely doubles down triples down on the things that donald trump is most vulnerable on. >> so, you know the world that the universe of candidates that he could have chosen to signal to people. i'm serious about this message of unity. i believe this is a moment we all need to come together. any picks somebody who has done anything but that he picked the person who came out immediately after the shooting and said

this was joe biden's fault. so you know, i'm not so sure that this is a strategic matter, makes a ton of sense. it will be really interesting to see when jd vance speaks, it will be really interesting to see where does he go with this? does he tried to make an appeal to our better angels or do we hear the jd vance that we've gotten for the last 18 months, two years. i mean, i agree. i don't i don't think this is about i'm trying to win. this is about i assume i'm going to win yes. and now i'm trying to govern. yes. and so for me, if you're trying to and you don't pick somebody says no exception for rape and incest. he says that women should stay in abusive marriages for the kindami when you see this stuff that jd vance on record good. for any sort of switch fever swamp. you're talking about. that's not a campaigning choices of governing towards except in one possible area which is that he does have this tech bro background and people like peter teal, people have mentioned elon musk i don't know if he will understand there's something is happening in silicon valley where there is this sort of right-wing libertarian backlash to the

so-called woke agenda. in those folks have been bubbling and bumbling, trying to find a champion and a horse to ride. if they see jd vance is at horse, there could be money behind it, but if you're trying to win an election, where suburban women are still up for grabs. this is one of the worst choices you can make, given that the, given the field, although if, i mean, if it's key for biden to win in michigan, ohio pennsylvania, does the does jd vance helpful? well, i think it's hard for it for biden to win in ohio any way at this point. but you forget for a michigan a pennsylvania, wisconsin, yeah, that might be somewhat helpful. but but i just think that there are other people can help you with that. they don't have this other baggage. i don't think but he said, well, i i think man's will help in that area. i do think trump's going ohio anyway. i don't think donald trump is going to subjugate his positions to jd vance's whatever apoe your peddling and what are you what you're talking about? i mean, what is back whatever is. i

mean, i try and trick trump is not going to subjugate himself to anyone else's agenda, just like he through project 2025 under the bus and put out his own rnc platform he's going to do whatever he's going to do. and i actually, you've trump's a lot more moderate than people think or want to give. you listened to him. he's a lot more moderate. he's talked a lot of republican orthodoxy out the window inside of him somewhere is an independent, not a party person. and i just don't believe he's going to adopt anything. jd vance he thinks it's not helpful. >> i think he has been in the best news cycle of his life donald trump has in this actually comes on offense. this is, this is the best thing that's happened to biden in a really bad news cycle is there finally somebody that democrats can throw their ira. there's somebody that there is a lot to put out there previous statements accuse against him if this was doug burgum, i don't even know what jen o'malley dillon would be saying to the other than oh, he's a little bit conservative, but this is somebody that there's the same thing i am curious at a moment when there is a very real conversation about biden continuing in the race. does the jd vance of it

change it if he's someone who's seen as more extreme, is there a push of maybe we need to reconsider? is there a ticket yes. >> i was going to say i agree this is the luckiest stretch any president has had a very long time. the court case today basically killing all that but one of the biggest things that has not that one of the biggest sources of his good luck is that for reasons that i find bizarre it is utterly killed the conversation, at least in public about replacing joe biden from the ticket even though the assassination attempt on i'm joe biden on donald trump completely eviscerated, at least for the foreseeable future. i'm not sure forever, but for the time being, the core argument that joe biden had spent millions of dollars and months and invest in, in, which is that? donald trump is the, is the architect of violations against political norms that he is a threat to democracy. i think a lot of those criticisms are still valid, but you're not allowed to say them and you certainly not allowed to say i'm the way

that joe biden has been saying and to me this makes the argument quite well for for someone saying, hey, look, we've got to turn the page, we get these two grumpy old men yelling at each other this is the politics of the past and get some fresh blood in there who can articulate these arguments in a new way when you have 33% of democrats saying they're happy with their own choice but, but that's an opportunity and yet it's killed it for some reason that conversation well, but i would just say quickly, i mean, i think part of the reason that it has muted that conversation and why i think the vance pig doesn't argue for biden to be replaced is in some ways it does bring the conversation about the race, the narrative of the presidential race back to a place where joe biden is strong. >> i mean, this is the soul of the nation argument. this it's protecting democracy. this is a sense of, we want somebody in the office who has wisdom and experience and a steady hand. i mean, i think the dynamics of this conversation go back to places joe biden is stronger and so i think that is a compelling reason. i would also

just say scott said a few minutes ago that donald trump is a moderate and i just don't think can let that hang out in the air. he is the guy who put the ban it'll conservative republican. he has asked, you, never has been the justice and she beat them all who overturned roe versus wade, which has been the conservatives conservative, conservative if anybody. but he is not the same as ted cruz. he is not the same as the heritage, but he's just he's not an orthodox, conservative republican in the way you all have tried to define or malign them for the last several decades. he is different and everybody knows it and it's one of the reasons that some are working i agree with you because the traditional conservative republican would not support an insurrection. i just traditional republican would not say he's going to pardon traitors and treasonous people who attacked our government. and you're correct, he's not, he's worse and worst he's much worse. but i think, you know, part of the reason that jd vance matters isn't for these kind of short-term electoral calculations. he matters

because what he means for a republican party long term. this is cementing a kind of nationalism. now, trump to your point, i agree with you. he, he's an instinctive, impulsive intuitive nationalists jd vance is an ideological nationalist that's a much more dangerous virus because he can make this deacon policy stuff and make it seem power couple of people he can sell this stuff to silicon valley. you can sell this stuff by the places and what it does is it locks the republican party on a path way that i think is dangerous for the world. again, the ukrainians are now in deep trouble. nato is now in deep trouble. trump is, you get a gone with it with nikki haley? and signal to the world. hey, listen, i got to get stuck to my base, but i'm not going to abandon the world. this pick is a horror on the world stage. so jd vance matters because donald trump is pointing the republican party in a very scary. direction for the long term here, here let me

let me let well, here's how i see it number one the idea that biden is now running against vance my dream against trump, and he's currently losing to trump, is actually running against kamala harris, who not popular. i don't know if you've got checked the papers today, not popular very unpopular, and so if you want to have a debate about which ticket is more politically nimble, which ticket is more politically palatable right now, i'm not certain that elevating the conversation about well, let's let's really focus on the vice president's is going to help the democratic party because i mean, the principal reason biden is still in the race is because no democrats want harris to be at the top of the ticket, i think right now, they're afraid of how unpopular she is. and so you know what i think ultimately it's not going to make a ton of difference on people's votes but on the margins have you wanna discuss the relative popularity and extremism of vps? i'll take it, i'll take the debate. >> just go back to jake in milwaukee. jake thanks,

anderson were taken to the streets here we got the sounds of the doobie brothers behind me, even though michael mcdonald is a, fake elector and the chair of the nevada republican party about is not that michael mcdonald, that we are honoring, right now john king asked it's by cnn if he would consider running for the senate in ohio vivek ramaswamy noted that if i were asked to serve in that, i would strongly consider that's where that's where we are already the jd vance tweeted that out 15 minutes ago. au is that right yes. >> i was ahead. ramaswamy, it'll be at appointed you'll have an appointment. the governor the governor dewine will get to appoint him if if and when they get elected and i look, i think that has a nice ring to win first for a lot of come on, a lot of, a lot of champagne and popcorn but again, raises the organizing fact of this convention of how this is so donald trump's party in 2016, we talked about

earlier, ted cruz and others were trying to take it away. 2020. we didn't really have a convention because of covid after january sixth, 2021 most of the establishment republican party said we got to get rid of doubt. we got to get rid of this guy. we've got to break from him. he is bad for us now you have mitch mcconnell on the floor here given he get booed, but being the man who gives donald trump kentucky's votes, you have mike dewine, who during covid covid as the governor of ohio, was on tv all the time saying if any fauci was doing a great job in the biden administration is being very helpful. you have glenn youngkin, who has always tried to have the never really harshly critical of trump. but let me try to keep my distance because i hope he goes away. was i'm not that kind of a republican. he's going to speak tonight. i was walking around here earlier than our dinner last night hi my first convention wallace has beat by a couple 1988 and there are delegates here who were part of the george hw bush movements, right reagan's republicans. and they know what has happened

in the state parties where you constantly stand up to donald trump. he has you first and you're not here people. are gone. and so they adapt and they say, i want to stay in the clubs and so they just mute their criticisms and they show up. don't it's a huge victory for donald trump. yeah. let's take a time which just as his party let's go to kaitlan collins right now who has some more reporting on president trump and senator jd vance taylor alright, i'm told kaitlan is audio is not working even though i hear just fine. apparently what you and you talked you talk john about the, purging of republican state officials it's, it's obviously i'm not telling you anything. you don't know it's not just that it's the forces in the republican party who

stood up to donald trump, especially when it comes to the overview attempt to overturn it the election are, have been purged from office. liz cheney, who was the house conference chair not only removed from her position he has the candidate primary her and supported that person and congresswoman cheney is not in the party anymore congressman kinzinger is not in congress anymore. i don't think you're going to see senator mitt romney here. it's mike lee gave the delegates from utah it is the end of at least for at least temporarily of voices that stand up to donald trump when it comes to what no president has had ever attempted before with you to overturning line. >> and odd oddly one of the criticisms we are hearing here is from the anti-abortion movement, right? which was grateful for donald trump well, the supreme court picks, but does not like the platform and

other social conservatives because they have moderated or watered down whatever you want to term, you want to use language about same-sex marriage and abortion that has been the republican platform for as long as i've been covering national politics. and so it's just, it's weird. the people now, they don't have they don't have the you don't have the voices but it's just if we live in a very different world and again, that's to his credit, you may not like it, but he dominates this party i mean, what's really extraordinary and you sort of touched on it back in the fall of 2022 after a lot of the candidates that he's supported crashed and burned to talk in the republican party. was disguised to cancer can't go with trumpism. we need to end the remembered ron desantis was held up as the as and from that moment and to four indictments, one conviction he now is a colossus within the republican party. it's, it's quite something the question is, does this translate into a consensus nash? right now he's benefiting from the image of

strength, which this will contribute to end concerns about. biden. it still doesn't resolve the question as to whether what what, what trump is selling is something that the country as a whole wants to buy david, if i can go back even further, i was just looking at trump's fair speech at joint base andrews, where a lapped on january 20, 2020. >> 2021 instead of appearing at the inauguration the rocket regular joe biden, he said, goodbye, we love you and what was back in some form, he locked in other describes after january 6, he had already been impeached because second time by the house of representatives, the idea, i mean, just big picture that that man who left washington in disgrace is now one step away from regaining the white it's one of the great political comeback stories of all time. you can love it or hate it, but it's a fraud but what does that say about america, right? it's, we're missing something everybody i think this is

exactly what i was going to say. i think that one of them big missteps, a lot of people make is mistaking. perhaps joe biden's weakness for donald he still has problems with a lot of voters in this country don't mistake that. i think joe biden is in a historically yes his approval rating is very low, he does not have not solidified his base and so when donald trump's solidifies his, which it was apparent at least to me that he would but after the republican primary, it puts him just in that sweet spot to really add potentially edge out his opponent. but i don't think here's problems in the suburbs serbs are solved. i don't think his problems with, with, with non-white women, maybe not so non-white men are resolved i think don well, trump still has quite a lot of problems on the electoral map that are not as important, i guess when your opponent weaker, like biden. >> yeah. well, in that that, is

exactly the frame that the trump team wanted for this entire election. strength versus weakness and the enormous changes, that we have seen in this race, these out of extraordinary events. first, the debate. and then, of course, the assassination attempt. and donald trump's reaction in the moment to stop history will help put his fist in the air and say fight. those two things taken together have sent this race direction that undoubtedly benefits donald trump and plays right into what they want. we also, i think want to note that we're seeing now from jason miller pictures of the trump team already plastering vance underneath the name trump they just have to replace him a letter right? i think pence has been gone for now than it used a different color that's right. let's go back to kaitlan collins. i'm told her microphone issues have been resolved. kaitlan's yes,

jake, hopefully you can hear us now. >> it is quite loud. i will note where just a few feet away leaving the sand with the reason that there were people surrounding me is because senator jd vance, as expected to walk down this aisle behind me. we are standing right by the ohio delegation. any moment now, jake, just something that we're learning when jd vance learn he was donald trump's pick to be his running mate, i am told by a source familiar there's 20 minutes before donald trump posted on truth social that he called senator vance, didn't notify him that yes he had picked him to be just running. so just shows you how quickly all of this was happening. i spoke to senator tuberville on the floor either earlier he, spoke to donald trump this morning and said, as of 7:30 am, he was still mulling who exactly he was going to pick and was asking senator tuberville's advice. he did not tell me ruby recommended. but of course we've now learned senator vance himself found out just about 20 minutes before that announcement actually came down officially on truth social, jake, of course, it's not official until you hear it from donald trump himself is correct. kaitlan collins. thanks so much. we are expecting ohio republican

senator jd vance to come out onto the floor of the republican national convention here in milwaukee, wisconsin, had any minute? but one thing that i do think is important and perhaps underdiscussed right now, caitlin is the fact that this battle for the the electoral college will be waged in wisconsin, where we are. michigan and pennsylvania, that is, as now according to polls as of now, john king can correct me if i'm wrong, but that is pretty much joe biden's only paired. i thought you think i mean, is there is are some there is there some other force for joe biden to win given today's polling, given today's polling now, yeah, can a falling the safest bet providing and he does this from a position of weakness, is pennsylvania. again, wisconsin, west, yet against hillary clinton lost those states. donald trump became president. joe biden flipped them back and became pregnant he had a bigger

margin because he also flipped georgia and he flipped arizona, biden did any held nevada right now, if you look at it and i don't think anybody wants to disagree, jump in if you trump, his favorite in georgia, right? the new flip, the new purple state, if you will, trump his trip on, trump is craven and arizona pepper sprayed or in nevada, a state that is tend to is moved from a once-a, once a republican state, then a battleground state has become reliably democratic. but to abby's point earlier, a latino man especially trump's home well, it cynical if you wish, but i'll eliminate taxation on tips was the biggest economic driver for the hospitality and nevada. he was way ahead long before we introduce the notes. but, after and so if you're if you're biden and you want to sneak out a 270, it's pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin and then we'll have this conversation down the road. can you hold nebraska to your nebraska and maine award electoral votes by congressional district, right? hold that. the district right around omaha, the blue

districts. and i'll say this that the meeting this morning with robert kennedy they say they discussion national unity. there are other reports that trump tried to win an endorsement. there weren a republican convention, donald trump earned the right to be this nominee. he won the nomination convincing this is his weak to tell his story and introduce jd vance but anyone who wants to talk about this as a trump-biden race is making a huge mistake, right again, to the point, donald trump can't get to 50 in a lot of these states, there is not majority support for trumpism. abby's right, he has a lot of problems. but joe biden has more problems. so the only one i wanted to make because that jd vance is the son of ohio and ohio is not pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, but it is a midwestern state. and i think it's not just in term geographically he speaks midwestern. do you? no question about that what the trump campaign clearly it's hoping with the bands heck, is to win back. let's take pennsylvania. david urban, who ran pennsylvania for donald trump in 2016 as an example, is to

outperform those the cities and the suburbs in trump country, like he did in 2016 was pennsylvania, voter, you need to rub numbers in altoona, blair county one is injury wasn butler. >> right. and but right knee to run a jd vance would be very, very popular in blair county, cambria county, westmoreland county, da counties those numbers and that difference, 1,000 votes. it's 67 counties. when did the state of how it was thousand and 80,000? it's on the head of a pen yeah. >> no listen, this is the political electoral logic of this. as i said earlier, i think hey, vance is very, very good that making the case. so that is one thing the other is those three states, they take any of them in they blocked joe biden from winning this presidency period. end of story. the question i have for you is when you look at advances position on issues like abortion, for example, how

does that play in the suburbs of philly? good. are very, very, or pittsburgh, which are very torn that's the that's. the tough needle has to be thread, right? so can't, can those numbers are, you know, are those voters going to be persuaded to vote? so for trump in any fashion, have you put nikki haley on the ticket? voters show up in montgomery county because here is i take it, i think not i think it's the thing is to run up those numbers 70, 80% in concern lackawanna scranton, mccomb county, michigan haley, she's going to be here tomorrow night to talk about national security the, dressing because she hits such. >> a so much of her campaign was about ukraine and national security and now you have a guy who has vowed opponent of aid to you crane on the ticket ratifying trump's position on this. she may have to work on her speech will be interesting to me to see the effect that vance has on the democratic base to your point, david, about his position on abortion you know, maybe it doesn't

help them as much in the suburbs fine but will it help mobilize democratic voters who are already kind of unenthusiastic about this vote. i mean, i think one of the two ways that you can do this if you're biden you can either become a whole lot more popular or you can get your people out people off the couch and abortion when you talk democrats, that is going to be big issue how do they resume? do they resume the argument about the future of american democracy can they do? that? is easier to do that when you have the future of maga on the ballot, i think i think those are all the questions that they're looking at right now. and one of the things that's interesting here on the abortion casey and i think one of the reasons that we're discussing it so much as a this is the first presidential election since roe v. wade was overturned. and be in so many of the elections since roe v wade was overturned democrats have, or the, or the pro abortion rights position has outperformed including in places like ohio, including in

places like kentucky and montana. and i think it's fair to say that donald trump and jd vance both have made it clear they don't want this it's the being an issue in the election and they think it's a political loser. now that doesn't sell, but doesn't settle it. it says they're making a political calculation, not a principled calculation. i think we see their records based on what jd vance says has said and done and what donald trump has said and done as the man most responsible for the overturning of roe v. wade, other than mitch mcconnell perhaps. but i do wonder whether that will play roll jd vance is saying no, no, i don't. this is an electoral loser. we shouldn't be talking about this. we shouldn't be focused on this. will this, will this play a role in the november election? >> i mean, i think it absolutely is going to play a role in the november elections. i think big picture i in my recent experience covering politics that is extraordinarily dangerous to assume that what everyone is telling can he was going to happen is going to happen. let me tell you, everyone with the

hillary clinton campaign and the donald trump campaign both told me that the same thing was going to happen in 2016. they both said she was going to when and who was going to lose and everybody was wrong. and anyone who suggested anything else in the leadup to that was ridiculed, including nice, which is fine. but two things on abortion. one what they were looking for down there on that floor today absent what happened in butler, pennsylvania was going to be a fight over abortion and the republican platform you have, there are people here and they had an operation should a whip operation going specifically designed to prevent people who wanted to make a stick about that from getting to the microphone. they had a plan in place and i spoke to someone this morning who basically said if we can tear up that plan now because no one is going to do that in a moment where they're trying to get unity. the second thing i will say is we've touched on what an interesting debate we may see between jd vance and calmly harris and this i think is going to be a central issue there because you've already seeing the biden campaign messaging focusing in on abortion. she is one of their sort of attack dogs on and this issue. and the idea that she's not going to go

right at jd vance on it. i think he has articulate his position has been no exceptions for rape his position has been to endorse the texas law, which is the most the most extreme in the country. these things are going to come back here. these things are not going to be i will add is that i was told despite the fact that north dakota governor doug burgum was making his pitch publicly and privately to donald trump about why the bill that he signed in his state, which is extremely strict, a strict ban was was okay because he could adopt donald trump's position trump said publicly that burgum's position and his record more importantly, on abortion what's problematic so yes it is something that the republicans don't want to talk about, but they understand that they are going to do because the democrats will give them no choice. i tend to think that

the positions of the running mate fall by the wayside after the first day or two. i mean, i remember covering dick cheney being picked in the for people excited in 2000 because he had voted against the get voted against the martin luther king day holiday or you voted to make the you're national congress of a terrorist group. i forget exactly what it was, but at the end of the day, it's about the guy at the top of the ticket, not not the running mate and the nauta running mates positions that this tends to be but in this particular case, donald trump is also here, there and everywhere on the issue of abortion. so it just makes it a live issue trump and his campaign, they wanted platform to kind of neutralize that. that probably wasn't going to happen anywhere certainly not going to happen now. but there's another opportunity or the other side to say these guys are not telling the truth about what they really want to do with power when it comes to the threat that is what i wonder about if, if both of them indicated in that brush, but only as an extension of trump exact, not as his. i mean

not to say nobody cares, but people care about the top of the ticket. >> joe or point. you have to think about jd vance though, is the, waffling on trump's. but the waffling on principle he is going to be an issue for right. like his position changed from the time after he published hillbilly elegy to when became a candidate for senate is going to be a question of character for him. and it's not going to go away i don't think any democrat in their right mind would let i would agree that democrats are going to use his words, but jd vance and david urban, you tell me what you think here and then axelrod and i want to know what you think. i mean, he has he has explained it. you said i was wrong. i was wrong and i am happy that i was wrong. i mean, an end things that he said in private he said in public he doesn't deny them. i don't even know that he's deleted the tweet. >> some of them but in any case, the point is, he has owned it. >> i'm not i'm not excusing it or justifying one way or the

other, but he doesn't pretend that it's not true. he says, yes, i was wrong about trump and vice president harris. it's a very unflattering things about joe biden. it's the nature of comparing him to hitler but nature of the game, right? this is, this is the body in there air to full-contact sport. you're running for president. a lot of sharp elbows and look, there's a long laundry list of things that marco rubio, jd vance, and others have said about delay trump the they now have their positions of evolved done and they clearly are going to have to you know, jd said i was wrong, but i'm glad it was wrong about it was to just point out real quick up by jd vance of figure to see a lot more of the coming weeks. this notion that he enlisted in the marine corps for a lot of you that may not make a big deal big goal going to tbs the basis for marine corps basic school is hard stuff. it is not a you're not a soft palm individual you make it through the marine corps basic school, three core bootcamp is tough stuff. i think you'll see a lot of pictures of a shaved

head, shaved face, jd vance, during this campaign, i have heard an army guys say such nice things about the marine life since the new wow wow, in the marine oh my god, south west. but somebody at west point is swooning right now. i do think that this military his military record is going to be an asset in those same areas that we were talking about, small towns, rural areas in the in the midwest. >> but he has said things that he has going to have to account for. there's no doubt he accused the president biden of allowing drugs to come into the country as a plot against rural areas and so on. things that were quite edgy, certainly not in keeping with the he unity party that we are told we're going to see now, but i will tell you this. i sat down with him and i did a podcast with them in 2017. i went i'm going i'm going to read issue it on thursday. i he is a very, very

smart guy and anybody underestimates that is making a mistake, a lot of the things that he's saying now, he's sort of mutated a little for the consumption of the maga world. but he was talking on these economic issues in, back in 2017, much as he is right now. and that's going to an appeal to a lot of these voters. they're targeting. but one of the things they're so, one of the things that the american people are going to see quite a bit in the coming days. is this private text that jd vance sent to a friend in 2000 some 16 and one of the things about it, there's some pretty incendiary stuff in there. this is when he says, is the americans hitler, he's talking about trump. but before that, he also says this is what i've been calling for in the republican party for a long time, which is to embrace working class values. now, he seemed skeptical that donald trump actually had that in his heart and his soul. but there is a consistency in that level.

he wanted the republican party to be could the republican party? of the working class, not just the white working class. and that same text he talks about the black working-class lot gray is all know hillbilly elegy when it came out in 2015, it was an explanation not on late to the republican party, but to the country if you're wondering why these people feel so disaffected and feel so left out of the american dream. here's why and it's if you haven't read it, it's a hell of a book. i guess is it's going to sell more copies and the point is that a lot of people have said that that he understands maga better than and before donald trump dead and two, i don't say that too loud. >> he's going to drop them from the ticket. >> but i think that he's going to be an extremely effective spokesman, particularly as you talk about in the blue wall. >> and that's the the wall of michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. that isn't biden's

first champs. that's his last calf chance. if assuming he loses all those dates from the southern tier, having said that, right now, ai for all of our talk about, well, that's 272 stay nine, whatever i think we have to consider the fact that right now if you look at the polls there's a real chance this race could get away from joe biden. yeah. i mean, at this point, virginia is in single-digit. this is a state that hasn't voted for margin-of-error. a republican 2000 for george w bush, minnesota is close to new hampshire, which has been a solid, reliable republic, a democratic state is now in play. so where is that? because trump is strong, where because biden is we view yes. both well, yeah, i mean, i think that i think at this point after the horrible events of the last weekend trump has even stronger and biden may be even weaker. so yes, we can talk about a blue wall and getting to two 70, you're just above or below this race could get away from biden minus the things

they have done, the smart doe so far, is that biden is weak. he's the incumbent president again, through the rules matter when you have a former president running against the current president, i don't know. but over in history is do you want to keep what you've got? and the american people. joe biden's approval rate it's in the mid 30s and somewhere in the ballpark of seven and ten americans don't think he's up to serving after the debate, don't think he's up to serving for more years. that's your choice is framed by what you having or you're moving, right? so that's why the other things, but back to this point, the advanced picked says that they view this election more like 2016. lessons learned from 2016. they didn't think this one they were running because she's seen because they didn't know how well jill stein was going to do and how well gary johnson was going to do at the beginning of the campaign. but they know what happened in the election, and they know why michigan, wisconsin pennsylvania, especially michigan and wisconsin, where the third party candidate, robert f kennedy, so far is on nine ballots, including michigan, minnesota, and new mexico states. biden must win states where donald trump can get to 47 right? jill stein is

on the ballot in 18 states, assuming it's not official yet yeah, but you'll likely be the green party nominee, including arizona, colorado, new mexico, wisconsin, michigan, and maine's states, biden must with cornell west so far is only on in the states that biden where he would be a threat and colorado, as it got if it but he's trying to get on the ballot in michigan and a couple of the other states in the blue wall with vance mr. orban's theory there, what they did in 2016 is they brought a whole bunch of new voters in 2020. some of them went away. if you can turn out, people who are this affected, this illusion. but if they do show up would vote for donald trump. and the third party candidates have even a modest impact that's the trump 2016 map period all right. let's go to phil mattingly, who is on the floor of the convention, which is celebrating that rousing rendition are reeling in the years by skilled yeah, the lengthy still dana interlude there, the kind of jam band give you a sense that they're waiting for something to happen and we're giving you

a behind the scenes look of what they're waiting for. >> this is the behind shot from where kaitlan was. we expect to in short order, jd vance, who has been selected by the former president to be his vice presidential nominee. he will be walking out that door and towards where kaitlan was, which is where the ohio delegation is. there. the susie wiles, chris lacivita jake, i'll turn it back to you as we're starting to see senior campaign staff walked out and you expect to see jd vance shortly is now a time for us to determine are nominee for the office of vice president of united states. senator j. d. vance gents rebuild wow

there's to be rebuilding what in charge god bless you.

>> got there three steps let's get back can rebuild well, i don't know right united states where are the ones who need it? the most smoke. today? no joke. a may 20 years coast. so senator jd vance walking

through the crowd but they're hung up on expectedly, i should say by the ohio delegation he is a son of ohio and is represented it ohio in the u.s. senate for almost about a year-and-a-half, i guess before that, of course, he was a favorite son, having become a huge despite having come from very humble, means, which you can read about in his vessel in bulk hillbilly elegy as we want she the dana bash one of the things that is definitely true is that other than the ones who were passed over you see a sense toulon of the republican senators are excited about the fact given that he is one of them i can hear danner can i

don't know what's going on? and with her audio right now go ahead, chris. i was just going lie. i suspect a lot of people are looking at the woman along slide. jd vance, and they're wondering who she is and i told her it's boucher vance, who is his wife have they met at yale law school she clerked for supreme court justice john roberts and supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, when he was appealing this court judge earned degrees from yale and cambridge. the daughter of indian immigrants grew up in the san diego suburb so they clearly she's another run to retriever these joe here they are running to beat the second family of the united states the vance and -osa vance yes, they have they had three young children. they've been married for about ten years senator

france, very short stints in the senate, but obviously making quite a splash especially with donald trump and his families. >> can you hear me now? i can. it was me ask my ear that my audio was wrong. >> he said he has a lot of a lot of senators who are on the floor are happening. i think most of them are he is a newbie and the senate isn't what it once was and i think there's sort of an old school feeling and then there's more of the maga wing, which is very much growing and has it's grown in the united states senate, but you were talking about some of his personal attributes the information about his wife, which is fast donating. i'm also just thinking about the fact that as you mentioned, jake, he's not even 40. he will be 40 40-years-old in august, which means that he. was only eligible for this like

four years ago, four-and-a-half years ago yeah, he's but that's how young he is and i just want to endorse what jonah goldberg said that it is a shame that gen x is being skipped over for now they've run, they just haven't and jacob yet, as we're waiting here, i just learned that the vice president kamala harris plays to call to jd vance after he was named they didn't connect, but she left a voicemail i'm just common courtesy that i guess we have we have stopped having in this country, but perhaps is returning president biden called president trump over the weekend. >> jd vance got a call from the vice president just a courtesy as he is about to get on stage here today you know, to dana's point. i do think in a race where so much of the issue is about the age of the president he put a 40-year-old on the ticket, is some kind of statements or whether that

induces younger people to take more of an interest or not, at least on the republican side i don't know. but, you know, he's the only new generation candidate really, i mean, kamala harris, who's obviously a generation younger than trump and biden, but it is a statement of some sort. >> so notable. so i'm sorry, kasie, i just wanted to say real quick. it's been very notable to me even before all this before jd vance, donald trump is doing very well with young voters in a way that a lot of republicans do not typically do well we'll see ojt ban that's helps with that, but it's certainly i don't think could hurt. >> well, i think that you have seen a phenomenon. it's not just an american one populism that we have been talking about that has driven jd vance to the ticket it is appealing to young people. we are seeing it in europe. we are seeing it in the protege of marine le pen in france kind of cutting a very different profile and reality is, i mean, jd vance to david's point republicans have done a better job in congress

the democrats at this, let's listen in to speak to you. all this afternoon to formally nominate the republican nominee for vice president of the united states. ohio is the heart of it all. and that is certainly the case. once it's again here today the vice presidency is an office of sacred trust. the man who accepts this nomination accepts with it the awesome responsibility to give wise counsel to the president, to represent america abroad, to preside over the senate, and to be ready to lead our nation at a moment's notice such a man must have an america first attitude in his heart he met a man he must embrace his

obligation to the american family the american worker and the american soldier. he must believe that america is exceptional and be prepared in the tradition of our founders to pledge his life, his fortune, his sacred honor, to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states he must share the values and principles of our presidential nominee and be trusted to faithfully implement the will of the people jd vance is such a man man who loves

america and will represent our people with moral courage, strength in honor jd is a living embodiment of the american dream. he came from humble beginnings. and even as his life took him, two places, he might have never imagined. he never forgot where he came from. ohio values are in his blood he served our nation in the united states marine corps he is a graduate of the ohio state university he graduated

summa koome lauda from yale law school and is the author of the best-selling book, hillbilly elegy and he is a crusader for the people of the ohio in united states senate he has never forgotten the working people of our country and he never will. he fought to bring investment to middle america as a businessman and has fought to defend them every single day in the senate in this, i know this, i know he will faithfully stand by president donald trump's side as they win this election and change the course of our nation. they will change

the course of our nation to the benefit of all american citizens and truly make our country great. again it is therefore, my honor, to nominate ohio senator jd vance for the office of vice president of the united states of america delegates and alternates pursuant to rule 48, a motion to nominate by acclamation is now in order. >> the chair now recognizes

delegate bernie moreno, senate candidate from ohio for the purpose of making a motion thank you, madam chair my name is bernie moreno. >> i'm honored to be the republican nominee for the u.s senate from the great state of ohio i know firsthand that my dear friend jd, is a selfless and brilliant fighter. he is a patriot who loves america. he loves ohio. he loved his family. he's a great father. he's a great man, and that's what we need in this nation today the jd vance, america first is not just a slogan. it's his north star. he has followed it every moment of his life and career he knows what it's like to live in poverty forgotten by washington politicians. he is dedicated to ensure that no american has ever forgotten. again madam

chair it is a great honor to move that jd vance be nominated by acclamation by this republican national convention? as its candidate for the office of vice president of the united states of america without objection, the previous question is ordered. >> the question is on the motion that senator jd vance be nominated by acclamation all those in favor signify by saying aye all those opposed signify by saying no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. and the motion is adopted can you reconsider is laid upon the table delegates

at alternate ladies and gentlemen, i am proud to announce that senator jd vance has the overwhelming support of this convention to be the next vice president of the united states the chair is pleased to make the following appointments to the escort committee for senator jd vance his vice presidential nominee, who shot vance thank you. and god bless america ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back. >> speaker johnson what a

great, night pursuant to rule 40 d of the rules of the republican party, ai formed well, you declare resident donald j. trump and jd vance as the republican nominees for president and vice president of the united states welcome rnc chairman michael whatley what a great afternoon for the republican party and what a great afternoon for america it is now time to take the official convention photograph if all of the delegates would please stand and turn to the center cameras right as they prepare for the official convention photograph. let us

talk about what we've just seen. so that was certainly a rousing introduction of the party's vice presidential a nominee, senator jd vance of ohio, coming out onto the floor, embraced, cheered to the tunes of the tune of merle haggard's america first john king what is, what is the wisdom and what is the strategy behind the vance pick defense think it's trump deciding that his base is his path to winning as his base was his path to winning in 2016. and a lot of people, there's the debate, right? do you pick nikki haley? do you go for the suburbs? do you tried to broaden your coalition? his answer was no. his answer was no now, his answer in 2016 was quell a convention uprising pick mike pence, a traditional establishment christian conservative from the heartland. this time, there's no doubt on that floor who the republican party, who the leader of the party as he's officially the nominee now, he's the leader of their party he has grassroots enthusiasm and they have made the

calculation that he can win by picking up president biden just called jd vance a clone that will be the political argument made. someone who has who didn't begin there, but has come to the trump agenda and has come to be a trump loyalist and that by turning out they odors, they can win the election. and it's well know, 16 weeks from tomorrow if it's the right bet as someone who studies the map and the demographics, it's not a bad bet. it's not a bad bet. he did it in 2016. and again, you have a very unpopular incumbent president and you have, in many of the states that matter most. third-party candidates on the ballot that if there are people out there who can't vote for donald trump, but don't want to vote for joe biden have options. they didn't have in 2020 and so it's a bit of a risk to this as there always is. there's also going to be the debate about does it matter but i can get the path, i can get the path for donald trump and i can also get, if you look at the other side of this arena, were not shown to the viewers right now, there are other networks where you speak to the trump base that's where you go to speak to the trump base. that's how they want to

use jd vance that's right. who makes sure you yes. come out to vote? yes. and i think that we should be careful to your point about does it matter that the days of jfk pick picking lbj to unify the party and to help get him over the line. we don't see that anywhere. we haven't seen that for quite some time. what donald trump clearly learned in picking mike pence, which was a strategic decision to unify the party because he had to was he wants to pick somebody who he is comfortable with. and he's comfortable with jd vance he's comfortable with him as a person and he cannot underestimate how important it is that his children really pushing him and the maps, the reality, you're absolute right. the reality is that in this moment the strength that trump has with the party enabled him to ignore what was a pretty concerted push behind the scenes against jd vance. i mean, if you look

at some of the graphics that were airing on fox news tied to rupert murdoch, they were listing out all of the nasty things that jd vance has ever said about donald trump in a very straightforward way, the wall street journal, the new york post, issued separate editorials advocating for doug burgum. there were donors behind the scenes, ken griffin reportedly one of these major republican donors who were actively trying to get him not to pick jd vance. and what did trump do? he ignored them. he went with a guy that he had a personal connection with. and if we're starting to get more reporting about how that connection was built over time. because obviously bans had a lot of work to do to convince trump that he was really on board with him and he did that. he was one of the first senators out of the gate to endorse trump when it was clear that trump was going to run again and that was not lost. this, of course, after trump endorsed him for the senate and somewhat, you know, he noted that at the time vance had said some nasty things about him but that that was like many other people who had done the same thing and he and he went ahead and supported him. so i think these are all factors also say

vance has in many ways a biography donald trump always wish she had ivy league credible biography been incredible biography raised basic question, marine corps, the marine corps and the last university the yale law, but also the fact that he had such a difficult upbringing. back vance is the last name of his mama and pawpaw, his grandparents who to truly raised him. it's actually the third last name he ever had, and it's the final when he took know i was struck by just the human, the humanity of it all watching him on that floor accept the nomination as the vice president. i'd states to your point, jake, when he was growing up in middletown, ohio that hillbilly elegy background. do you think jd vance ever thought that he would be the vice president united states it's an incredible american story. one that i think everyone, regardless of your party should be able to celebrate this month where at least the vice presidential nominee so you au gotten yet a little projecting, a little bit urban, very excited, a jam convection kickoff. and there is still much more ahead as we break

world. this is a special edition of the situation room room i will flip your live at the republican national convention in milwaukee. >> and i'm erin burnett in new york and wolf by choosing vance trump has picked one his most loyal, fiercest defenders it's a remarkable rise, 39-year-old former us marine corps veteran yale law school grad will turn 40 in august this is somebody who has only been in the senate for 18 months. meteoric rise before that first making his name for publishing a best-selling memoir, it was the memory omar hillbilly elegy, which detailed the struggles of growing up in an eventually leaving appalachia at the time, jd vance described himself vocally as a never trump guide. that's a quote. he also let the time wolf was a cnn contributor i remember that this election, erin just adding to the intrigue surrounding this convention, it of course comes just two days after the former president survived an

assassination attempt in pennsylvania, it just hours after the judge in trump's classified documents case in florida dismissed the case. >> we're going to have a lot more on all of this coming up in just a few moments i mean, it just incredible that the fast and furious pace of the developments today, let's go to kristen two homes in milwaukee. >> kristen, ohio senator jd vance, obviously now the pick we know that. so what are you learning? what our sources in the trump team telling you about why he ultimately chose vance. i know you're reporting was there was a lot of down to the wire for the president on what he wanted to do and when will they appear together for the first time one when it comes to when they're going to appeal, appear together for the first time. >> we still don't have answers there's on that there are some speculation rumors that donald trump could appear on the floor as early as tonight, whether or not he would be with his newly picked vice presidential candidate, jd vance? that is currently unclear. but when it comes to actually choosing vance this was a really down to

the wire decision. donald trump has been mulling between three candidates, three potential candidates for months now, north dakota governor doug burgum, senators marco rubio and senator jd vance. and we are told that vance in trump, met on saturday at mar-a-lago before that rally in pennsylvania, an assassination attempt when i've talked to a number of allies and advisers since donald trump made that announcement, they said a lot of it came down to chemistry that they were pitching him on this idea that he had a close personal relationship with donald trump and that also so that also they believe that the two of them got together or had the best chemistry when they were talking together. there was also an idea among many of them that this was somewhat of a passing of a baton. donald trump wants to leave a legacy and there were questions about whether or not he would choose someone like jd vance, someone who is 39-years-old at the beginning really, of his political career, there were questions as to whether or not he would be a threat to donald trump, but i didn't talk to some very close allies of jd

vance who said that they believed this was somewhat of a passing of a baton showing that donald trump wanted to continue this maga legacy. one thing to keep in mind here is vance has had a very strong a belief in the maga movement in this sort of populist movement. now is something that donald trump took note of. now one thing i do want to note as well is the fact that he had a lot of allies around the former president vance did it, including his son, don junior, who we know according to kaitlan collins, made a pitch to his father as recently as the last several days, arguing that he is the best candidate for the job obviously, they want out and vance is going to be at the top of the ticket kristen, thank you very much. and you mentioned kaitlan. let's go to kaitlan on the floor. i know she's with the former new york republican congressman lee zeldin kaitlan yeah. erin, of course, here we are in the delegation floor is quite a crazy few hours. i am with lee zeldin of new york after we just saw senator jd

vance in that first public appearance since he was named as donald trump's running mate. what do you i believe that senator vance of ohio brings to a republican ticket in 2024 i'm an army guy, usually i'm biased against the marines, but i'm excited. >> he's you learn a lot leadership in the military he's someone who as we heard from the nomination speech, hasn't forgotten where he's come from. smart guy gonna ivy league law school and he was successful as an entrepreneur venture capitalists he is someone who is smart. he could show up on kaitlan collins show on cnn and kaitlan will ask jd the tough question and jd will have a good response in kaitlan will push back and jd is ready and i think it's good to have a good messenger and you'll running and winning statewide in a place like go ohio. you have again a cincinnati, you have to get into cleveland. well, if you want to win a presidential race, we have to get inside of blue cities. we've spoken about this on air, talking too long time disenfranchise democratic voters and winning and earning their support. and i think jd is a smart articulate

messenger. he will work hard taking nothing for granted. and i look for already seen him sworn in as the next vice president. >> i'm glad you're such a big fan of the source, but when you, when you look at him, you're one question i've heard from from people who are looking at who took was going to pick. it is jd vance now, the heir apparent for maga well, listen, i would say that for anyone at any position ever, you always have to earn your next election. it doesn't matter whether you are great. with an approval rating at 90% or maybe it hasn't been going well, but you have an opportunity to turn things around on a first, we have an election, a win, and nobody should be focusing on any election after november 5 of 2024. first and foremost is ensuring that over these next few months understanding that elections were stars right after labor day, november 5, early voting starts in a place like pennsylvania, just a couple of weeks after labor day, you have to work hard and earn it and nobody should be thinking about the next election after that speaking of pennsylvania, and obviously, how critical a vice

presidential pick is. we saw that on saturday night with what happened with the attempted assassination of former president donald trump i thought of you as i was covering it that night because you yourself were attacked when you were on stage at a campaign event and running. and i just wonder what you make of what happened on saturday night, what has happened to you? and what it says about the moment of political violence that we see against politicians in both parties right now, to think that we were millimeters, milli seconds away from a dark unchartered disaster for american politics. i mean, we're standing here today, and fortunately, more than just president trump dodged a bullet. and it's not about the republican party dodging bowl or the democratic party dodging america dodged a bullet on set and we did learn whatever lessons we need to learn to ensure that these presidential candidates, vice presidential candidates, and all candidates were all office are safe as they participate in this process? yes. i agree that with anybody who says that we so are scores at the ballot box and

anyone out there who cares about this process should be doing everything in our power to be able to protect it. i want people to participate in the process, go to rallies, get educated, get involved volunteer, donate $5 you can. what ends up happening if we have more political violence, people start staying at home. they get scared. others won't step up to run for office in the first place. so this is a moment in time. we need to unite as americans first and foremost. and pray for not just president trump and his family, but pray for our country to hope that there is no next victim whether it is a candidate for office or it is a volunteer, someone just trying to show up at a rally with their wife and their daughter. next thing you know, giving up your life heroically to protect them. i don't want to in the rest of my life and your life, i don't want us to ever have to witness this ever again. yeah. that message about settling at the ballot box of bipartisan message with president biden lee zeldin. thank you for joining us

tonight. erin. of course, a busy moment here on the floor of the delegation. many more busy moment so to come this week, you're the republican convention yeah, absolutely. >> all right. kaitlan. thank you very much. wolf fair in our political experts are joining us right now for some very serious important discussion, david chalian, why do you think trump decided to name jd vance is vice presidential running? because i think in jd vance, he's ease not only somebody who he believes is a real convert to the maga movement i'm in but somebody who can take the trump party beyond donald trump 2028 and beyond, he sees somebody who could sort of solidify for the future the trump version of the republican party, whether it's a more nationalistic look in terms of economic approach or in terms of foreign policy? >> and i think that's what the thinking is here. i don't think it's to put ohio in play. i

don't think any he needed to solve some piece of political problem for him on the ticket, what he's done here is take the reality of what we see in this convention hall that this is donald trump's party but he is making and doubled down on that i know some republicans will think, well vance has proven to be such a chameleon. he was anti-trump. how do you know where he is going to be? is he going to continue to move? around clearly, donald trump thinks he is going to put his stamp on this party as the trump party for decades into the future. >> audie cornish, what he's only 39 here's all jd vance, a freshman senator. and now he's the vice presidential nominee for the republicans. >> well, i think we know freshman senator is not disqualifying. there can be thankfully fine. freshmen centered is go on to be president he's interesting because he is a chief translator. he's prided himself and not just his conversion i'm being. anti-trump to well, wait a second. there were some good policies here, but he's taken that out in his campaigning. he addresses the

electorate on all the issues they care about. whether it's about being anti-woke or populism. he just does it in a way that he thinks can be heard beyond the base. and that's why i think he's on there is to be the the person who can speak beyond the base reported for jeff zeleny, president biden just weighed in on jd vance, the selection of jd vance. this is his first comment president biden's on this decision by trump. this is what i'll play the clip. this is what the president said he's a clone of trump on issues closer to trump on issues i'd say he's a clone of trump on the issues. i don't see any difference. look, that is going to be the biden harris campaigns bumper sticker message. >> if you know, it's one of the reasons he was chosen, at least in terms of his his view of things. so the reality here now

is though i think this gave least the democrats i was talking with this afternoon a bit of shock. a shot in the arm. i mean, they believed that that senator vance's records sure. it is something that they can successfully go after this. we will see and they liked the contrast between vice president kamala harris and senator jd vance. if we see them on a debate stage and their talking about timing of that now, that will certainly be very interesting, but i've been on the floor for the last several hours talking to republicans. i'm just struck by a yes, they all support donald trump. there's very little dissent there. there were some questions about what does he bring to the ticket. there were some questions about how they really view this is the real handoff here in terms of national security in populism, this is not the republican party from yesterday, but we of course know that donald trump because made that very clear. but jd vance certainly as someone in that vein, but i think going forward, we're already hearing from ohio democrats and others that his record is going to be certainly examined on abortion. that's what vice president didn't

harris i'm told is really going to zero in on him. and i know that monument. you and i were just talking about his abortion record. yeah. that's right. in fact, when i spoke to jd vance last fall, right. in the aftermath of ohio voters protecting abortion access because i asked him about the fallout of that. he said republicans should adopt it the minimum national standard of net national abortion standard of potentially 15 weeks 20 weeks with some exceptions he argued republicans were in the wrong position by not supporting a national abortion ban. he said that's what we can convince voters that we are in the right position. he viewed as more moderate position. the person who doesn't support that is donald trump. he actually very clearly does not want to be anywhere near a national abortion ban because macron's have gone after that issue and have run very successful campaigns on how a only deal with that issue. there are other things too. i mean, jd vance is very anti-ukraine a this is of course, an animating issue in the republican base right now, trump has gotten very close to that position as
