good evening to do, i'm sara sidner in new york. there is major uncertainty tonight over who will be at the top of the democratic presidential ticket. one thing very clear, the contrast between the two parties could not be more stark at this stage of the race. republicans in celebration over their nominee while democrats right now in desperation over there is. donald trump just had his first event with his vice presidential nominee, j.d. vance, a smaller patch covering the part of his ear where he was shot. take a listen. >> together, we will fight, fight, fight, right? and, we will win, win, win.

>> in the meantime, president biden is isolating off the trail, recovering, of course, from covid-19, and resisting the mountain calls, so far, from inside his own party to not seek a second term. 35 democratic lawmakers now are publicly urging him to step aside. there they all are. it all began with his disastrous performance at the cnn debate. after nearly 3 weeks of pressure to exit, president biden still not ready to throw in the towel. we will begin with the trump campaign. this evening, the official republican nominee and his weepy pick rallied voters at an indoor event in grand rapids, michigan. it is a first on the trail test for the secret service and gunmen shot the former president at an outdoor rally exactly a week ago. cnn's kristen holmes as the latest from grand rapids. kristin. >> reporter: sarah, this is the first time we saw donald trump on the stage since the

assassination attempt last week in butler, pennsylvania. he seemed to be fully in his element. he spoke for roughly 2 hours. he engaged with the ground. at one point, he was pulling them saying who should he run against, should it be joe biden, should it be kamala harris? out of the point, he was riffing on various things that happened while he was in office, completely off script. but, again, feeding to the ground. there were thousands of people in this arena cheering for him. he came out with just a small band-aid on his ear. he has replaced the guys from the shooting that happened last week. one notable part about him being here in michigan, obviously, critical battleground state. he also appeared for the first time with vice presidential nominee j.d. vance on the campaign trail. vance introduced him, left the state, then donald trump spoke. the reason why that is notable is part of jd vance's appeal, at least when you talk to people close to the former president, is that he might be able to help with voters in areas like michigan , like pennsylvania, lake wisconsin, all of those being, i, critical

states donald trump won in 2016 and then lost in 2020. i do want to point to one specific moment in the speech where he tried to distance himself from project 2025. that, of course, being the transition plan developed by the heritage foundation and a bunch of other conservative groups that would be the plan for whatever the next republican president is. the authors of that plan, many of them, worked for former president trump's administration, are currently allies of his. it has come under a lot of fire for her conservative some of those policies are. take a listen to what donald trump said. >> like some on the right, severe right came up with this project 25. i don't even know. some of them, i know who they are but they are very, very conservative, just like you have , they are the opposite of the

radical left, okay, you have the radical left and the radical right and they come up with this, i don't know what it is.'s project 25. he's involved in project. they read some of the things and they are extreme, mean, they are seriously extreme. but, i don't know anything about it. >> reporter: it is clear from the attempt donald trump asked me to try to distance himself from project 25 that he and his team view this as a vulnerability. however, it is not just them who see it as a vulnerability. president joe biden's team has gone after trump on project 25, linking him to it, but in and out and attacking him on the various issues. sarah. >> that was kristen holmes in grand rapids, michigan. now for the other side, president biden is in isolation at his speech home in delaware as he is recovering from covid- 19 after testing positive. he released a statement saying he's looking forward to getting back on the trail next week. respondent priscilla alvarez is in rehoboth beach, delaware following the president. priscilla, there have been a

lot of calls. i know he knows about the speed he's taken some of the calls himself to get out of the race. sounds like he's not doing it. >> reporter: no, he is certainly defiant, as is his campaign, which has taken to the airwaves and in statements to same the president is standing in the presidential race. but, there is no doubt, sarah, this has been a deeply frustrating and challenging time for the president and for this campaign because this calls for him to step aside from members of his own party have continued over the course of this past week but also over the course of today including from some members who, not long ago, by that i mean after the cnn presidential debate, were standing by his side at his rallies. so, this has been a quickly developing story for the president and his campaign as they have sought to calm nerves, had the conversations, hit the campaign trail, and yet continue to get this incoming from members of the party, from allies, from donors, who are just not convinced president biden is the best candidate to

go up against former president donald trump. in the meantime, the president is stuck at home because he is, he still has covid-19. is dr. with an update today stating he is improving, his symptoms are. but, he is still testing positive. while the president had hoped to be on the campaign trail to do what the members of his party if asked for, which is to be out front, to engage with voters that he had to get pulled off of the trail to recover from his diagnosis. so, these frustrations and challenges are playing out behind closed doors as the president has sought to talk with his inner circle and his senior advisors, many of them often travel with the president, along with his family as they grapple with this difficult moment that just isn't getting any easier. >> priscilla alvarez, in line for for us at rehoboth beach, watching the president's movements and hearing that he's going to get on the trail next

week. thank you so much, appreciate it. let's continue the conversation. i am joined by cooper's woman barbara lee of california. she is here on behalf of the biden reelection campaign. thank you so much, congresswoman lee for joining us. ime big fan of oakland, lived there a long time and loved it when i was there. i know that is one part of your district. i do want to talk to you about what we have been seeing, hearing, and what the president has been hearing. 35 elected members of your party think the president should exit the race, exit the campaign. why do you think they are wrong? >> first, let me say thank you, sarah, for having me with you. yes, i love oakland. and we are doing a great job here. lots of challenges but moving ahead. the president is very clear that he is running in this race to win. first of all, let me just say this. he has a record to run on. he and vice president harris delivered. the cost for people, they been

fighting for people, fighting for reproductive freedom, fighting to make sure that insulin is capped at $35.00. they have a record and they beat donald trump in the past. now, that only is an indicator of what they will do in the future. so, i in one who if the president decides he's not going to run, that is another thing. but, believe you me, the biden/harris ticket has delivered and i believe that they will win this campaign. we have a lot of work to do. they've been connecting with voters. he was in las vegas in nevada, he was in wisconsin, he was in pennsylvania. the vice president is out there. everyone is out there. the voters are connecting with the president and vice president. i'm sticking with the president. if he changes his mind, of course, the person who would be the next person would be vice president harris. but, i believe that president

biden is in this to win. >> you talk about vice president harris, you opened that door. if she were to become the nominee because president joe biden decided to step away from the campaign and step down for it, would she have your vote, would you have her back? >> that is hypothetical. she has said over and over again that she is supporting president biden. i believe that it is important for us to unifying around the biden/harris ticket. of course, if president biden changes his mind if the president and vice president decided they want to move in a different direction, there is no one but the vice president to support. she is prepared, she is smart, she has been in the white house now for three years, four years. she knows what she's doing and she has experienced no other candidate has. that would be the only option for myself. but, that is not even an issue. the vice president is out there campaigning, connecting with voters, making sure that young people, people of color, people

who are or may not be decided on whether or not they are going to vote, she is out there making sure people understand the dangers of a donald trump presidency cannot be left to stay at home and not voting. she is making sure that she galvanizes voters because we have to vote because donald trump wants to set this country onto a dictatorship and dismantle our democracy. that is not acceptable. we are on that train right now with him. >> we also know she is a fellow californian as well. that aside -- >> exactly. >> i do want to ask you about a couple things. we are hearing from those who raise big money for the biden/harris campaign. some of those donors are saying we are not going to give any money to the down ballot races if you all don't to get it

together and push joe biden out. what do you say to those donors? >> well, i say to those donors that when we've got to take back the house, keep the senate and win the white house. we have to do all three. and, i believe that the donors will understand that we cannot withhold money from candidates who can win if they support candidates. this speaks of homes as to why we need to get finances out of campaigns. does have tough races. this was tough before the residential debate that was, you know, a disaster. we can't sugarcoat that. you know, the campaign was very clear that this was going to be a close race. so, we have to hunker down and we have to support all of our democratic candidates and we have to make sure that we support the biden/harris ticket and make sure voters understand the dangers of a trump

residency. i believe that that can be done and i'm going to do everything i do and i know my colleagues all over the country are out of their fighting hard to make sure that every single democrat wins and the biden/harris ticket wins. >> we will see what happens. before we go, i do want to get your thoughts on the passing of your colleague, and she was a friend of yours as well, sheila jackson lee of texas. she was i met her a few times myself in passing, very remarkable and very, very committed and fiery. she was into it. her whole self was and governance. can you give us some thoughts on the passing of congresswoman lee? >> i am heartbroken. i know sheila very well. she was a force of nature. she was a brilliant orator. she was a brilliant legislator. she led the efforts on reparations, she led the

efforts to renew the violence against women act. you know what? she was a kind and gentle woman. i remember right after katrina, i was in new orleans and getting ready to come back to california after that terrible, terrible hurricane. she said you have to come to houston with me and help these evacuees. i went to houston with sheila. let me tell you, people love sheila jackson lee. she is a person who is a warrior woman. she is a fighter. a lot of people don't realize what a kind and sensitive and beautiful spirit she was and she loved people. and, listen, this world is going to miss sheila jackson lee. the fight for justice, her brilliance on the judiciary committee, how she would pull people together. she was dogged. when she was determined to get something done, she got it done. and, i, sheila and i, i was her professional photographer. oftentimes we were in places coming in, we have been to sudan and refugee camps, we've

been all around the world together and sheila wanted to capture pictures to send back to her district and she would also say get me here, take me there, take this picture, i have to send this here and there. i ended up saying yes ma'am, yes sheila. to know sheila is to love sheila. i had the chance to speak with her, to her, with her on wednesday. i knew that the time was imminent. i am telling you, we lost a beautiful soul, a great warrior, a mother, grandmother, a wife, a colleague. she was the world to everybody. and, i already miss her. >> thank you so much emma congresswoman lee for that really thoughtful remembrance of sheila jackson lee, who died after battling cancer. she was just 74 years old.

appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you, so nice to be with you, sarah. we have so much more to discuss tonight. next, you heard it a defiant joe biden reportedly seething at his fellow democrat, nancy pelosi, who told him in private he can't win, citing the polls. how much is the powerful former house speaker pushing to get biden to drop out of the race? plus, new details about the would-be assassin of donald trump and what he was doing just hours before trump took that stage in pennsylvania last weekend. we will have that and more, coming up.

welcome back. we are going to open the conversation on the state of the presidential race. cnn political commentator bakari sellers is a former democratic member of the north carolina state house. both of you, good to see you. bakari sellers, i will start with you. resources sagging president biden is seething at former house speaker nancy pelosi, typing her to the latest round of democratic defections, calling for him to suspend his campaign. when you hear nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and others, 35 other or 35 democrats are telling biden to step down publicly she's doing it in the background do you think this is a good idea, even though voters

voted him in in the primaries? >> so, let me answer your question directly. i never thought i would be saying this about somebody who i love and adore like a nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer, both. i have a great deal of perfect for them. i think nancy pelosi will go down as the greatest speaker in the history of american politics. the are committing political malpractice, at best. and, what at worst it is is local petty politics from california, throwing itself onto the national stage. look, i believe that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi probably know, not probably, they do know this american political system better than i, they know joe better than i. they also know joe biden is not going to bow to public pressure at all. this man said he's in the race. at the end of the day, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and others who, instead of corralling and the aid of kamala harris and pete

buttigieg and joe biden are running to their local newspapers to write op-ed pieces, have done more damage to the president of the united states then he did himself on june 27th. we will right the ship, we will get on board. at the end of the day, you only have three choices. i've said this for the past six months and i think people are starting to pay attention to it. i heard my brother charlemagne talk about it the day. you only have three choices in this race, joe biden, donald trump and the couch. make a choice. >> that is pretty stark. natasha, so far in all of this reporting, nancy hasn't explicitly called for the president to drop out but she has that you can't win for which the message is clear. what do you make of all of this talk and what it is doing to joe biden's candidacy, and, for the public, if you look at the polling -- the public isn't so sure he should go forward looking just directly at the polling when asked if he's capable of doing another four

more years. >> sarah, i think that the voters i talked to feel that their voices are being drowned out. they feel that there are people who are somehow sort of being puppet masters above them and not really being practical about this moment. i did a piece about black voters in particular who are very sober minded. we are a very practical voting bloc. and, it feels as though there are a select group of people who are trying to force this story. there are a lot of people who, believe it or not, they thought that debate performance was disastrous but they didn't think that was the end of the campaign. they were still willing to vote for president biden. concerned, disappointed, yes, but willing to vote for him, who listen to the substance of

what he said. i think it is so tragic that, for the past few weeks we've been talking about this without even thinking about some of the actual answers that joe biden gave, even if his voice was shaky, even if he was coughing. we never engaged in the policy. it is disappointing. i think it is, it has done a lot of damage to the campaign. i agree on that. i think time is running out. as much as it makes for an interesting conversation, the practicality of this, it really undermines the argument that people are making about let's make a switch in the ninth hour. >> bakari sellers, in the battleground states, when you look at the numbers, you know, right after the rnc or during the rnc joe biden lost some ground, according to the polls. are democrats the ones that are coming out like this simply scared? >> yes, i mean, you have a large amount of silent democrats or silent voters. usually it is the flipside. remember in 2016, people were ashamed to tell pollsters they were voting for donald trump.

you have a lot of that today. but, we have to, we have to if we are going to be sober and honest about this, acknowledge there has been slippage for the president since 2020. but also explain to people why joe biden, because this doesn't get enough play, let me excellent people why joe biden is the best person to run for president of the united states if you are a democrat. joe biden has performed better with white voters for white women, white suburbs, white college-educated voters. 70% of the electorate, he has performed better than anybody since lbj. that 70% of the electorate, he is winning more than half of them. of barack obama in 2012 won about 38% of those same voters, which means that in order for someone to win with that number of 38%, you have to have a turnout of black voters and black women and hispanic voters and young voters that is just astronomical. that is a heavy burden to bear. joe biden puts you in the best position. we have to kind of, i mean, get in line. republicans fall in line, democrats like to fall in love.

i'm trying to beat donald trump. >> natasha, just quickly, i have to get your perspective. what explains the fact that the peeling off of some particularly younger black men to donald trump from right in and, to be fair, since we are in the panel that we are in and you can look at the color of our skin mother is always an impetus where black voters are talked about a lot as if they are the deciders. as bakari sellers has pointed out , white voters are the majority at this point in this country. >> look, i need everybody to pick up a book called "steadfast democrats" and understand this conversation is not new. we often debate, we often hear the debate as a community about why do we so frequently vote for the democratic party? what is behind that? there is strategy. there is a reason behind that. there were legislative wins for the black community that came with this realignment with the

democratic party. there's a legitimate history there that i think people should know. when you look at the two parties , it is a clear choice, just like bakari sellers said. the voting for trump, voting for biden, or the couch. a vote for the couch is a vote for donald trump. and, one is going to give the black community, at least the conversation you can have about what the agenda is. the other, it is not going to give you what you think it is. so, i think this is a moment of education, despite the real frustration that people have, you have to engage people and let them know what the truth is. those are the two choices. >> natasha alfred, bakari sellers, thank you so much for the open and honest conversation . on this saturday. appreciated. he will be back, and understand. good. don't go anywhere. just go and get yourself a little drink. maybe not a drink, actually, scratch that. i have to take a break.

>> we are already there, sarah. >> don't start with me. i have to take a break. we will see you in a bit. what do you do if you are kamala harris right now? the vice president you have to wonder what she's up to these days, this besides what we saw her doing in public. good session, let's look at that ahead.

all right, let's continue our political discussion now once again, joined by bakari sellers and natasha alfred. you probably had the drinks i know i get to ask you this question.

it is going to be a hard one since you are writing with a biden. do you think vice president kamala harris right now is trying to figure out, set up, work on the possibility that she could be the presidential candidate? what is she doing right now? >> no. i mean, i know kamala harris very well. i talked to people around her daily. what is she doing right now? they were expecting to raise $1 million in cape cod, somewhere in rhode island, where, you know, i just paid off my student loans so i don't really hang out there. >> you can have a drink for that. that is decelerate. >> one of these nice areas. she and pete buttigieg were supposed to raise $1 million. they raised $2 million. you know, you saw her in north carolina last week. you will see her on the campaign trail. she's going to minnesota or wisconsin this week, i can't recall the schedule. what she's doing is she's being a damn good vice president.

you have seen her grow into the role over the past four years. you see the compliments, using the tie-breaking votes that were record-setting. there was a picture i saw in her office of all the vice president of the united states and then you just see this little brown.there that represent her and you saw the difficulty of not just the biden administration, i've been very clear about this, and those people around him having an inability to deal with as a black woman, this vice president when i started but also the medium having a terrible time trying to figure out how to cover this woman and compare her to others before her. she has been doing great. if in fact the one person who can make the decision, joe biden, decides that he is not running for office,, s has been tested. she has passed every test as vice president of the united states. she will destroy j.d. vance in anything, from chest to cooking chicken thighs, to debating, all of it. she is going to hammer him. >> had to bring up chicken thighs. >> she has a mean turkey

recipe. >> i'm hungry. >> you are killing me. natasha, i just had a conversation with congresswoman barbara lee, who you all are both well acquainted with out of oakland, california. and, it was, i find it curious. was an interesting conversation. i did ask about whether she would back kamala harris, a fellow californian, if joe biden decided to step down. she goes this is a question i don't need to do and because joe biden gone with him. then she answered the question by saying yes. she listed all of the reasons why. when you hear congresspeople pivoting like that, is there something to read and? does it mean that they certainly thought about it and are prepared for it? or, is it something else? >> i think it is you are walking a tight rope. you want to convey confidence in the vice president while at

the same time not encouraging this faction that has turned against joe biden, to use that as more reason to push joe biden aside, which some of them want to push kamala harris aside too. even though this is being portrayed as some sort of opportunity for kamala harris to be out front, there are democrats who are not supportive. there was a recent poll that came out 6 in 10 democrats said they are supportive of kamala harris but that leaves 4 in 10. 2 out of 10 were unsure and 2 out of 10 were against her. so, that is just within the democratic party. showing that although the majority supports, harris, there still people that need to get to know her, they need to understand all the work she has been doing. now you have republicans in the mix, now you at independence to the mix. this is a country that, although hillary clinton did

win the popular vote electorally, right, she lost the electoral college. they would not elect this a very qualified white women. there's still sexism that kamala harris will face, in addition to all other, you know, the racism, all of these things. so, she's up against a lot. i think that that is also factoring into joe biden's decision, i'm sure it is waiting heavily on his hurt. if he steps aside, he has to assure, he has to feel confident that kamala harris at the top of the ticket will win. this is about my chrissy at state. i do think sometimes we lose that. trump and biden are not the same candidate. the stakes are so high and he has said the reason he ran for president, i'm sure he could have been relaxing somewhere in his old age was because of the threat donald trump presented to democracy. he ran for that reason. i think that is also waiting into his decision about what to do next. >> bakari, i have to ask you because natasha opened the door and it is a question that needs to be asked.

is america ready for a female, black, south asian woman to be president of the united states? >> yes. i believe in the better angels of our nature, even more importantly, i recognize the work of ella baker, of shirley chisholm, of fannie lou hamer, hillary clinton chipping away at the glass. hillary clinton was the most qualified candidate we've ever had to run for president of the united states on either side of the ticket and she came up short. they have put chips in that class. i think kamala harris is more than qualified. as vice president of the united states, she has been tested. and, she has aced every single one of those test. so, the answer to the question is yes. i think she could put together a robust ticket if the time comes, a ticket that would be schapiro or mark kelly, a ticket that would look like mark cuban or adam craven or

whoever it may be. and, that is more than formidable when you are looking at someone like trump and jd vance. i would love to see kamala harris be the future for my twins and i would think there are a lot of not just women, not just black folk but americans who would be externally proud of what she represents because it is not about what this country was or what it is that kamala harris represent what this country can be. >> i'm listening to you, bakari. >> bakari, you can run for office. >> you might want to think about politics. oh wait. i was just going to say to you before we go here as he went down the litany of things. it sounds like you have thought about the possibility of her becoming president but also, you were in, we are in a season in which poll after poll shows that americans are dissatisfied with both of their choices. and, you know, depending on what happens here, we will seem maybe they would be less

dissatisfied with a new person at the top of the ticket. we will see. bakari sellers, natasha alford, thank you so much. >> she is in line to be the president anyway. just something to think about. >> thank you so much for the conversation. we will be right back.

new developments tonight in the attempted assassination of former president trump. investigators now believe the young gunmen involved, thomas crooks, was scoping out the rally site on the day of the

shooting using a grown. law enforcement officials tell cnn the working theory his the drone would've given crooks an overview of nearby buildings and how they connect, and ultimately help him find the exact spot from which he would fire shots at trump behind the podium. joining me now is a senior special agent at the u.s. secret service. chris, there is a lot to talk about but i want to start with the trump rally. it was endorsed tonight. is that likely to remain in the future because of what happened in the outdoor rally where he was nearly assassinated, a father and firefighter was killed and two others injured? >> first things first, good evening, sarah, thank you for having me. i can only imagine that, yes, that is probably going to be the case at this point in this late stage of the campaign. better safe than sorry. they probably will lean more toward indoor rallies as opposed to outdoor ones for

obvious reasons. indoor rallies are easier to control. they are easy to maintain. overall, safer. i would imagine that they would be pushing more for them than, for obvious reasons, the outdoor rallies. >> i am curious your assessment on some of our reporting that says the gunmen apparently used a drone for reconnaissance over the trump rally just a few hours before the president was there on the podium. what does it tell you about his state of mind, but also what does it tell you about the secret service and how they handled this, clearly admitting they made some very big mistakes? >> well, i would like to answer those questions in reverse order that you asked of them. i can't speak on what they were thinking at this site. but, i can say that i was an agent while the drone craze, if you will, became what it is today. and, the secret service

absolutely has policies and procedures in reference to drones and drone activity. so, i would imagine there's going to be a lot of questions in regards to how this individual if in fact it is true he did use a drone to do basically surveillance. so, that strikes me as a little odd that the service did not take greater actions against a drone. now, in regards to his mindset, it appears he was doing his homework. by using a drone to do surveillance, that is something that is being utilized more both with law enforcement and even with military, where you are able to get a birds eye view, if you will, of an area that you are planning to infiltrate. if, in fact he did do that, yes, that is becoming standard operation procedure for bad guys, if you will. >> certainly premeditation for many of the different things that he did. i do want to ask you this

question. the public and all of the victims families often want to know, it doesn't change things in any way, it doesn't take away the hurt but they want to know why. what was the reason, exactly? and, a week on, we still have no motive. investigators citing the are not sure. they haven't found the exact motive. they have talked to hundred people, including family members and they looked through his social media and we don't have a clear answer. >> yes, to answer your question, i do believe they will eventually find it. i know that they have sifted through, like you said, hundreds of witnesses, all of his videos, all of his social media accounts, and they have not found anything distinctive, as of yet. i have faith. everyone of these experiences that i have seen in my law enforcement career, and it

spans over 35 years, there has been a motive. sometimes took a while to find it, but there has been. i firmly believe they will find said motive in this individual, and it may not been the motive that we are thinking it might be, but there will be one, most assuredly. >> chris, thank you so much for taking the time this saturday evening with us, from boynton beach, florida, a place i am very familiar with. i appreciate it. >> anytime, thank you for having me, sarah. just had, this presidential election may have some folks feeling real unsettled, frustrated, maybe even angry. but, haven't we been here before? we will talk all about that, coming up.

welcome to the now way to network... they switched to juniper's ai-native network.

and now everyone's so productive, they're operating at a higher gear... that's the now way to network at work—with real ai—putting you in the fast lane. we are following breaking news out of yemen. iran has condemned israeli strikes on houthi targets. the iranian foreign minister warning of escalating tensions and the risk of war in the entire region. houthi run tv says 80 people were injured in the strikes

today. the iranian backed rebel group and responsibility for a strike in tel aviv yesterday that killed one person. jeremy diamond has more on the story. >> reporter: for months now, houthi militants have carried out attacks against israel, as well as shipping lanes in the red sea. but, this is the first time the israeli military has struck houthi targets in yemen. the reason for that is the drone attack that struck central tel aviv on friday, killing one israeli citizen, and changing the calculus for the israeli government. i am told that these strikes were carried out against the will use targets in the area of the you many port of al houdade. >> the houthi attacks are acts of aggression a violation of international law. and, a threat to the international peace and security. today, israel stepped up its

actions in self-defense against these attacks. the israeli air force conducted precise strikes on houthi military targets in yemen. the military targets was the al hudaydah port used by the houthi group as a main supply route for the transfer of iranian weapons from iran to yemen, like the uav itself that was used in the attack on friday morning. >> the israeli prime ministers citing these strikes make clear there is no place israel cannot and will not reach, also focusing on the link between the houthi militants and iran, which according to the israeli government, provided houthi militants with the very same type of drone that was used in friday's attack. the israeli military says that was a sommad 3 drone.

this was a 100% israeli strike not in conjunction with the united states or the united kingdom . that is notable, in particular, because over the last several months, israel has led the united states and the uk take the lead in carrying out strikes against houthi militants in yemen. because of this drone strike on friday and resulted in israeli casualties, that changed the calculus here and israel carrying out this strike alone. i am told, however, by an israeli defense official, that the israeli defense minister three got on the phone with the american counterpart, defense secretary lloyd austin, to give them a heads up on the strike out of time. jeremy diamond, cnn, tel aviv. hope you are not sick of me because i'm going to be here for at least another hour. the state of the presidential race still to be determined. we will be right back and talk all about it.
