was suggested or that she resigned because of a series of mishaps that it occurred with the agency this could be the same or it could be something very different. i'm not there. i'm not in a position to know it's rare to see. i mean bipartisanship on capitol hill these days to see what democrats and republicans saying she's should resign, democrats and republicans on the house oversight committee are both screaming for your resignation. that's a problem it's also extraordinary i mean, how would, would she wait till the investigation is done before stepping down? i think that if she stays on for the next 48, 72 hours she's probably there for the time being. that's my instinct. it's only an instinctive if she survives the next 48, 72

hours after that hearing today? >> dj johnson. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the news continues right here on cnn outfront. >> next, breaking news, president biden, breaking his silence tonight, speaking out about the end of his campaign and his party swiftly backs kamala harris for could lock up the entire nomination in the next 48 hours plus not grateful trump's pick for vp accusing harris of not sounding grateful when she speaks to this country. what does he mean? the democratic attorney general of new york state, letitia james harris, supporter is out outfront and coconuts and brats by kamala harris is loving vote. >> let's go outfront good evening. >> i'm erin burnett out front tonight. breaking news. president biden, breaking his silence just a few moments ago about his historic decision, an unprecedented moment in american history to end his campaign and pass the torch,

endorsing his vice president kamala harris. the president calling into his campaign headquarters. well, what we're his campaign headquarters until hours before as harris was, they're about to meet with staffers for the first time since biden dropped out? >> i want to say to the team, embrace her, she's the best i wanted to call everybody is i know yesterday's news was surprising and it's hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do. >> it's i know it's hard because you poured your heart and soul into me so help us win this thing. helped me get this nomination helped me win the nomination. and then go on to win the when the presidency. but you're an amazing team, but we've got a great, great, i think we made the right decision it's only been about 30 hours since biden made the stunning announcement to end his campaign for a second term after, adamantly and defiantly saying he would not and just in those 30 hours, his vice

president is now on her way to replacing him at the top of the ticket. >> as you can see, the biden campaign headquarters is now the harris headquarters. that happened instantly and just moments ago, harris to her new staff biden said this it is so good to hear. >> our president's voice, joe, i know you're still on the call and we've been talking every day. you probably you guys heard it from doug's voice. we'd love joe and jill. we really do. they truly are like family to everybody mutual no. >> you're still not going anywhere. joe walsh want to you a lover. >> i love you you could see tears in her eyes there. >> au biden has said he intends to address the nation any day now, but the party moved on immediately and honestly, it's worth just taking a step back

for a second to talk about stunning. that is because so many of those party elites and megadonors, while lamenting about biden, made it clear that they did not want harris on the top of their ticket but that is all over. they are all formally on board or as close to it as they can be. and maybe those elites misread the voters in the room because the harris campaign says it has raised a record $81 million just in this past day, the majority of that money didn't come from those elite circles. it came from people making their first contribution. this election and that is energy so we wanted to put that money mostly from first time donors just into some perspective for you first, it dwarfs trump's largest hall, which was $53 million raised after he was found guilty on 34 felony counts in new york. at 1 million to her to 53, and that's his best best showing this election. second, it is more than biden himself, president biden raised in the entire first quarter. we had all those mega-donors on board after announcing his

reelection campaign. that is context that matters. and then there's this the harris campaign says that nearly 30,000 volunteers signed up in just the past day. and sources tell cnn that harris may have a majority of the delegates by wednesday required to secure the nomination back to the elected elites of her party. so far, 186 of them representatives in the house of representatives, including nancy pelosi or onboard 41 senators and 23 governors have endorsed harris that is a political tsunami. in fact, far from the contested chaotic convention that some had said would happen is there was a duking it out of harris and newsom and whitmer and shapiro and all these folks no, by the way, they are all backing her. as of tonight, it seems that would be what modern conventions essentially are, which is a coronation, the biggest race against time right now isn't finding a nominee, but a vp and on that front sources tell cnn they have a list of about ten names that they are racing to vet. obviously, it's an in-depth process in a moment, i'm does speak to someone who is likely on that list, the governor of minnesota, tim walz. meanwhile,

former president trump, of course, is, well, this was not what he expected a few weeks ago, wasting no time taking on harris, going after his new potential rival online posting, joe biden will go down as the worst president in history of the united states. and then escalating to all caps, camilla are horrible and incompetent borders are, will be worse. kayla tausche, she is outfront live outside the white house to begin our coverage tonight, and kayla, you know, we just saw harris at the new harris campaign headquarters, which were the biden headquarters. we heard him call all all-in and i know you have new reporting on that tsunami of support that i referenced behind harris tonight yeah. >> erin, there was real energy in that room tonight and it is not just the for strata of the democratic party or the cash coming into coffers that donors are providing. there's a real on-the-ground infusion of energy at this hour, a campaign official says but in the last day, more than 28,000 new volunteers have signed up for their effort. that's a 100

times the average of daily sign-up in you know, in prior days for a campaign that's been going on for over a year at this point, the campaign now has 250 offices hundreds of thousands of volunteers, and thousands of full time staff members. and tonight, vice president harris said that she has asked biden's campaign chair jen o'malley, dillon glen, to stay on and dylan has accepted that. that's certainly a piece of news as far as the campaign leadership goes, but we've also learned that where this jolt of energy has come into the campaign, it's not just the campaign itself, it's also outside groups restarting some of these efforts that had been paused. one, democratic group in particular, one of the largest outside groups called american bridge. i've learned exclusively is set to roll out a $20 million how to campaign later this week, the first since biden withdrew from the ticket and harris has been running for that position? as

well. this is going to be at targeting trump as a candidate because they're not naming biden or harris by name. they didn't have to reedit her recut any of these. but notable lee erin, these ads will be targeting a working class women in wisconsin pennsylvania, and ohio, a critical constituency for the harris campaign in three critical battleground states, erin. >> all right, kayla, thank you very much. and as promised now i want to go to the democratic governor of minnesota, tim walz. he's been mentioned, of course, is a possible vp candidate, and also the head of the democratic national convention rules committee, which governor i'm sure is not usually listed on your accolades in an interview, but now of course is front and center so let me let me just start obviously this your first national interview since you came out and quickly endorsed vice president harris? she said moments ago in that back-and-forth at the campaign headquarters, which president biden was a part of that she intends to earn the nomination and i know the governor some in your party at advocated for sort of a mini primary of sorts, which all sorts of ideas

have been out there, but everyone should compete with some town halls and then you do it on the convention floor or some iteration of that do you support a process? at this point or do you think this is a done deal? >> sure. no, we have an open process, erin, and thanks for having me and you can feel that energy you saw it in that room and that's exactly what the vice president said. when she called me, she said, look, i'm going to earn this let me get out there and do it. we have an open process. what will happen is wednesday, the rules committee will get together, will set that process out and then starting after that will have about three days where anybody who's interested can get in. you'll have your opportunity. you need to you get 300 delegates, no more than 50 from each state then starting about the 28th, you can make your pitch. and then after the first august will vote in a post-covid world, people vote by mail. we do that. so it's a convention, it's open anybody's welcome to come in? i think what you saw was is the energy around the vice president and it was stunning yesterday folks who might have been thinking that they were going to do that saw that this is, this is a leader, this is someone who is there with joe biden as we passed all these things and ready to go.

so i think folks need to be clear. it is an open process. anyone is welcome. the delegates who were selected will cast their vote as they see fit, and we will come out with a nominee in time to get on all the 50 states artun their ballots. >> okay. so i actually want to follow up with you on that. i do want to talk about your conversation with her, but first, let me get straight to the rules then because what you said there just a couple of things to fully understand. she talked about a process you meet on wednesday then everyone has three days and those are the specific rules. right? they got up 300 delegates. if you're going to jump in and go for that alright. let me just ask you though if nobody else gets 300 and it seems to be that it's going to be her do right now. i know that the democratic delegates are set to vote as soon as next week, virtually right? your? nominee would be set virtually by the delegates well before almost two weeks before maybe even earlier than the actual convention itself. do you still go ahead with that virtual nomination oh, yeah. >> absolutely. the reason is

for this, erin is and it's it's republicans in ohio set the voting standards issues to be perfunctory. we'd say, oh, yeah, if you miss the deadline, we get you, we know who your nominee is or whatever 30 threatening to go to court on this. we have to get this done by the seven state of washington is the 20th. so this, it's just to make sure that we meet the timeline for it. it would be the same thing if we did it in person, there would be no difference. people would be and they would gather their delegates, they would vote. we will have will have a ceremonial vote afterwards, but it's just, it's still light okay. i just wanted i just want to make sure you're clear on that because obviously you as the chair of this committee, i mean if you were wavering on it, that would be significant. >> you're clearly not your set with it. au no. >> no. we weren't wavering. i mean, it was this process was in i don't think it was explained very well to people, but the rules committee and the delegates know okay. >> so that is going to go ahead as and just to be clear, do you expect that to start? it could start as soon as next thursday, if you don't have anyone else jump in with 300 delegates? no more than 50 from a given state by the end of this week. do you

go ahead and start that virtual vote next thursday? >> we said, yeah, august 1st, know earlier in that i think that's right. first are the second to give opportunities that have 72 hours to vote. there'll be opportunity for multiple volts if we get more candidates. i don't know. i haven't heard anyone say they're going to get in, but they have the opportunities. >> this could be set by the august 5 potentially. >> yeah. sorry. yeah. we we meet our deadlines. >> alright. so governor, right i now i want to get as promised back to the conversation you had with the vice president yesterday did she ask you directly for your support and did she discuss? the vp process with you? obviously, you know, many are sure that you're on a pretty short list well, you know, she did not mention that. >> what she did is she said i'm going to earn this governor. we've worked together. i'm really proud because not too long ago, she became the first vice president or president who stood in a planned parenthood clinic with me and st. paul. so we've been there, we've done this to gather she said i'd like to have your support. i said you will have it. i will do everything possible just like i did for president biden. and she said, let me earn less, let's get together. let's go

onto win this thing and that's where she left it. >> all right. well, governor walz, i appreciate your time. thanks so much. >> yes. thank you. all right. now, thank you. and it's great that he was able to explain all of that for us outfront. now the former democratic governor of vermont and 2004 presidential candidate, of course you all know him, howard dean, and astead herndon of the new york times has reported extensively on kamala harris some truly in-depth profiles, which i want everyone to know, as i say, anytime i see you, please at this point now, who needs to go read so you've seen this record breaking fundraising, which i tried to put some context around but as i also said, this is not what the big donors or party elites kind of privately said they wanted any parts of ten days ago or a week ago here we are. it is clear there's real enthusiasm out there for harris. how deep is it? >> i think it is deep, but i think it also speaks back to the mandate that biden was coming in on in 2020. i think the fundamental misunderstanding was the was this a biden coalition or stop trump coalition? what we're seeing right now is that that kind of energy of stopping trump? it's still there for

democrats as long as they had a vessel to channel it over the last 24 hours, vice president harris has positioned herself as that vessel to really bring back parts of the coalition that we are straying further and further away from president biden. but i think it is important to note that this is a 1e80 from where democrats were last summer when they were thinking ahead to 2028 there was a lot of people who were, who were sowing doubts about president vice president harris is ability to lead the party? yeah. looking to other types of candidates idea that they can kind of skip over her and the succession i asked anita dunn whether vice president harris was chosen for the purposes of succeeding. biden, and she explicitly said no. she said it was a governing partner more so in the political partner, all of that underscores the depth of the crisis that they have found themselves and the fact that harris has positioned herself to be someone to step up, i would say though she had the turning point after the dobbs decision last year, it found an issue that she could focus on and really energized parts of the base. i think that plus leaning more into a prosecutor record she didn't do

in 2020 is going to really serve her this time around. >> so, governor, i want to replay some of that back-and-forth that just happened at the now harris headquarters between the vice president and the president just moments ago, let me play it for you. >> we love joe and jill. we really do. they truly are like family to everybody you are still going anywhere or longer and there were several other times tonight, governor, where she talked about how much she loved joe biden and she praised him. let me just play those cerebrum can understand it was repeated i just have to say i love joe biden i love joe biden and i know we all do when we have so many darn good reasons for love and joe biden, it has been one of the the greatest honors of my life, truly to serve as vice president to our president joe biden, it is my great honor to have jos

endorsement in this rice au governor, you know, we have not heard much about them having a warm or close relationship. in fact what we've heard has not been that, right, that they don't spend much time together. this is different. what we just saw today will this sort of interaction meet as genuine i think so. i think so much to the republicans here this is an incredibly competent woman who has been all over the world, knows all the world leaders joe biden had two big things to his presidency. one, you've probably had the very best domestic political record in his first time a first term has any president since lyndon johnson. and two, he knew every world leader and was able to manage the substantial crisis colin now knows how to do that. she's met all the people in europe who were core nato parts of nato she's met all the

people that you need to meet in order to keep the world's steady and safe. and i think that's the thing that american people probably aren't going to vote on what they probably should we are the essential nation for the running of the world. and the benefit of that as we have the strongest currency in the world, and that i know all the republicans scream and yell about inflation, which is getting much, much better yeah, but it'd be far worse if we were a week country and we're not a weak country, trump was a weak president and made us a week three kamala harris will not do that because she understands foreign policy. she learned at the feet of the master joe biden. >> so said, the former attorney general, eric holder is going to be leading the vetting process for bp's, doesn't have a lot of time. >> we understand maybe ten people they reached out to at least a few of them. they asked for a lot of information in walls we just interviewed is on that list in some form. we believe so. how quickly do you think she makes this choice? >> i think they're going to move quickly partially because

they want to come into chicago with a unified taken in a unified party. the names you see here are ones that i think we should ones that are expected. governor shapiro in pennsylvania. but she year in kentucky, a mark kelly and arizona, but it's going to be a kind of open question. ai the one that balance out the ticket in the same way that she was a supplement to joe biden and joe biden was a supplement to barak obama. they're going to be looking for the same type of fit. and i also think that she has the kind of understanding these needs to be personalities that get along also, she'll prioritize that as well. >> oh, i see anymore jokes about bland white wine, that's on twitter, alright, thank you both very much. i appreciate it and next republicans hitting kamala harris anyway, they can 100%. she was idea i hire she's a dei hire york attorney general, leticia james, who just endorsed first harris is my exclusive guest. next plus we'll take you to two crucial battleground states to hear what voters are saying about kamala harris are they getting

in line? and the head of the secret service tonight facing calls from republicans and democrats to resign after the assassination attempt against the foreign president trump that is a no. you're full of today. >> you need to resign i always wanted to know oh i am the way i am. my curiosity led me to ancestry was amazing to see all the traits that i've gotten from my mother in my dna it's, a family thing to two family. >> hey the rise those, rhythmic news, caribbean sailings. now on visit. santos.com or call 1800 sandals. are you ready to lose weight and get healthier join over 5 million people who have chosen goal as it's a better way to lose weight. here are just a few gold customers who reached their goal and have

jackpot party, a party. and every spring i get chills just thinking about come on, poisoned seriously tonight, trump's running mate, j.d. >> vance questioning whether kamala harris has a quote sense of gratitude when it comes to leading the united states, saying that she doesn't appreciate the history of america what i see her give a speech and she talks about the history of this country, not with appreciation, but with condemnation and look, of course, every country, just like every family, certainly mine has its pockmarks, right? not everything is perfect. it's never going to be but you, if you want to lead this country, you should feel grateful for it. you should feel a sense of gratitude and i never hear that gratitude come through when i listen to kamala harris outfront now, the democratic attorney general of new york state, letitia james.

she's known harris for years. she led the nation six blacks attorneys general yesterday and endorsing harris within hours of biden dropping out of the race and attorney general james i appreciate your time tonight. so you know, you hear j.d. vance there, the vice presidential nominee for the republican party, trump's vp, say that harris talks about the history of the united states with condemnation and that she lacked gratitude for it. what do you hear when you hear that first? >> thank you for having me on this evening i say to j.d. vance vice president harris works each and every day for a more perfect union, focusing on reproductive rights, ancient every day focusing on the environment, focusing on scammers who prey on upon seniors. focusing on the lgbtq community all throughout her public career from district attorney, a to united states senator, to the attorney general of the great state of california our vice president has been focused again on issues that americans and

individuals that individuals care about each and every three day, as opposed to a j.d. vance, who obviously doesn't not have a moral center. and unfortunately is not a man of conviction he criticized his running mate, former president trump and then all of a sudden he'll do and say anything. obviously to gain his allegiance and his loyalty vice president harris is the most qualified candidate for the president of these united states. someone who will unify us, bring us all together. and that's why i have endorsed her. >> alright. so on the issue and i'm not why she is where she is there has been a line of attack for republicans that i'm sure you've heard. and they are saying she's a dea dei hire. that's specifically and explicitly what they're saying, right? republican congressman tim burchett earlier today said it. other republicans have said it in recent days. let me just play them 100%. she was idea hire. >> she's a dei hire. she's a

woman. she's colored, therefore, she's gotta be good. >> do you not understand why she was chosen in the first place? she is proven to america why dei doesn't work dei hire so when you have nothing else, when you have nothing else to attack this most qualified candidate for the president of the united states. >> you automatically go to race it's unfortunate and it really doesn't require a response. the reality of the situation is that vice president harris is the most qualified individual for the president of these united states and it's important that individuals, democrats, republicans, and independents gather around her as she seeks the nomination. yeah in these unite the nomination for president of these united states, i support a wholeheartedly and i reject those who want to separate us by race and other artificial constructions artificial barriers, when you critically

important that individuals understand that we need to be unified in this country. we all need to come together and that race is nothing more than an artificial construct. so it's really critically important that individuals reject that type of language. >> so you talk about the issue that you don't want them to go to, the issue of race. there are substantive issues out there though as well. one of them, of course, is front and center in your own state, mayor adams of new york city said that more than 200,000 migrants have come to new york since the unprecedented migrant crisis began the spring of 2022, he points out that that number 200,000 is larger than the population is most major us cities and vice president harris, of course, was put in charge of the southern border by president biden. are you worried about how vulnerable she is on this issue? >> i think it's important that individuals understand that there was a by partisan solution to addressing the immigration issue end safety at the borders. unfortunately, it

was rejected by the republican party because one individual and candidate who's running for the president of these united states decided that he would who's the issue of immigration as a cudgel against all candidates? it's important that individuals understand democrats have come to the table and it's, and we are prepared to address the immigration problem. it's also important to understand attorney general, let me just jump in there, though, because on this issue, kamala harris, of course, the vice president was the point person and the president made the decision, won that bipartisan bill failed to say that the bill failed because of republicans. and then did not do anything about it. eventually choosing to try to close the border via executive order, but he waited months and months to do that. eventually, did it. do you think that vice president harris should come out and say that she would have done it much earlier and to go against president biden on that to essentially say that her hands were tied, don't blame her know, the reality is is that unfortunately, we have a congress which is paralyzed and republicans have been responsible. >> and they should have done

something on immigration reform, national immigration reform. they have refused to do anything on national immigration reform. and when there was a bipartisan bill that was proposed unfortunately, was killed by former president trump. and so we need to make sure that we put all the facts on the table and that we do not engage in blaming one individual. the reality is, is that the republicans sat by and did absolutely nothing and as a result of that, we need to put forth candidates who are recognize that we need immigration reform in these united states, we need to pass a bipartisan approach. we need unity in this country. we need to address gun reform and gun legislation and all throughout the record, the public record of vice president harris, she is focused on issues that americans care they're about. and unfortunately, republicans just wants to blame others and use race as a reason. and divide us even further. we should not be the nation together as a nation and focus on issues that people care about. you mentioned just

wondering your citizen. i just want to i'm sorry. i know we have a little bit of a delay i hear so i apologize for that. but when you mentioned the former president, he has talked about retribution and revenge if he gets another term, which of course polls show right now he very male wet and very may well win given the case that you brought against him in new york, you won that case. that was fraud at trump organization. the judge has ruled he has to pay $464 million in that case do you expect or are you worried attorney general that you could be on his list for retribution i was always taught that faith and fear don't share the same space. >> and i don't believe that individual should engage in retribution for me simply doing my job. i did my job law enforcement, there was evidenced that mr. trump had engaged in financial fraud. he was held liable by a judge i my office is independent of the department of justice. and right now, we are seeking the prep former president of the united states is seeking an appeal with respect to that case. and at the end of the day, i am confident that we will secure the funds that that are owed to the residents of

the great state of new york. >> attorney general james. i appreciate your time. thank you so much thank you. >> i appreciate you. >> all right. next, we're on the ground in battleground states to hear what voters are saying are they supporting harris? >> i think she's would definitely qualify for the job. >> i think the unfortunate truth is, she has a lot of baggage in her record plus why is kamala harris now embracing coconut trees? and this song we have a special report just you know that 80% of people have subscriptions. >> they forgot about au, that's dumb. >> i keep track of my subscriptions in spreadsheets and i always get it right. >> we'll see about that all right. so i just don iraq money in your fund and it looks like you're paying for two meal delivery kits. >> why you see sprawling my excellent got a call and cancel way with rocking money, you can cancel subscriptions. you don't want right from the app would just a few taps well, i still lost $400, but you might

down, it's a bit late. i think we knew that this needed to happen for awhile. it's not a question of who can govern. i think it's who can win and beat trump and this is, there's too much at stake but listen to this, erin, remember a couple of months ago we talked about when i was in michigan anx that the president among younger voters protest against his support for see by the students anyway, for israel in the israel-hamas conflict. >> well, we went up to lafayette college and walked around campus. they're not as busy because it's summer of course, but i talked to a half dozen students who were damaged craddock, leaning, and they all thought that change would be good. they thought it would energize young voters who either have a problem with the president because of israel, hamas, or just because of his age. listen here to counter china he's a medical student. he says, the conversation is suddenly more optimistic i feel positive about the change i'm happy that president biden was able to recognize where we are as a country and make the best decision for all of us it's

really fascinating, erin, you know, the voters are often ahead of washington and here in pennsylvania already debating who should you pick a running mate. a lot of them are looking forward to the debate. a lot of my using align the democrats are using online quite a bit saying the felon versus the prosecutor, they want to see harris debate. i can tell in pennsylvania though they are a little nervous, they know how tough this state is and i think a lot of democrats, and we found this today are quite sure they don't know a lot about or they need to hear it fast, which is interesting, don't know a lot of batter and yet she's the most as well well-known of anyone, of course, in pennsylvania, josh shapiro would be but nationally, i mean, to that point, john days ago, weeks ago, the the big donors, the elites in the party. they didn't want biden. they also by-in-large didn't want harris either you know, yesterday there's a stunning announcement. biden's out of the race based are you surprised at how quickly all of the establishment immediately got on board yes. >> and no? yes. in the sense that you're right there's a

lot of unhappiness with the president and of course, a lot of democrats are worried because she's his vice president. republicans can attach, attach his baggage to her however, what democrats wanted it was a candidate. they want energy, they want on the field a bunch of governors made phone calls, so other people made phone calls. they realized nobody who's going to beat harris that she had the support of the delegates, that it would be incredibly district corruptive and divisive to try to take the nomination away from the woman the woman of color who was on the ticket with biden in the primary. so democrats have quickly coalesced believing this is their best chance. again, on saturday here in pennsylvania, they thought they had no chance today. they think just maybe if she's near perfect. >> all right. >> if she's near perfect and as you've been pointing out, so much of that because there's so little time john. thank you very much in allentown tonight in pennsylvania battleground state the political states are also higher than ever in another battleground state this in the south, north carolina, where voters tonight are also conflicted about the situation some saying it should be them, the voters, not the party, and

the delegates who get to choose president biden's replacement, dianne gallagher has the latest in our voters outfront series in the crucial battleground state of north carolina. there's a buds this exciting, yeah what's exciting time and some anxiety were at the mercy of time about what president joe biden's decision to end his campaign means for the democratic ticket come november think it is only fair for camila to step up and run because she's vice president in west charlotte. we spoke with several voters who say they appreciate the democrats are coalescing around rice president kamala harris, i think that she has proven over the past 3.5 years that she can do the job. >> i think it's a combination of feelings and i'm filling as a black woman, i'm excited i mean, i think this is amazing to witness history happening firsthand but i am shocked that it's happening this close to the actual election they were

in. >> harris has spent a lot of time in the tar heel state recently, seven visits this year. it's home to donald trump's slimmest victory in 2020 and a potential harris running mate, governor roy cooper, i think being that he's from north caroline that could possibly help phillip last month, the day after the cnn debate, we spoke with nearly a dozen north carolina voters, like brian lee, who felt biden could not win in november you replace him with just someone younger so how's he feeling today? >> i feel more optimistic. i think vice president harris is a great representation of the ideas of the democratic, the democratic party has been, she's a better shot at beating trump than biden does. >> but you're wrong quavers wishes. it was voters, not the party choosing biden's replacement is tough. >> there's not a time for anybody really garner attention

i wish i made this decision a year ago because while he will vote for harris, he's not so sure others will do the same. >> i don't know how independence and former republican told by heard, like giovanna and rega and unaffiliated voter who is not a fan of harris i think the unfortunate truth is, she has a lot of baggage in her record on her record and that is what i think is going to stop a lot of people from voting for her and says that pushes him away from the democratic ticket. >> but i think voting third party is definitely an option, especially at this point. >> still, stephanie sneed, a school board member, thinks harris is already showing that she can reach previously disengaged voters who were not excited about a trump-biden rematch. >> and if you just look at what people are talking about, what's on the news side or was on social media, how much money has been raised? in less than 24 hours, like that's amazing. so that is a demonstration of the she has the ability to

reach people that but weren't being reached before now every voter we spoke with today, the undecided, the skeptical, even super fans of vice president kamala harris said, it's not going to be easy in north carolina. >> she's going to put work in on the ground and earn not expect both ishi is a democratic nominee and you were talking with jon earlier about this time crunch. nowhere is it more pronounced than in north carolina where they start sending out absentee ballots for the general election on set timber six. erin, that is just 46 days away. >> i will tell you i've covered the state for years. usually we get at least one or two ballots returns that saying it's go time here. wow, that's amazing as you say, just days. alright, thank you so much, dianne, in north carolina next, why this one line from a speech, kamala harris gave is now everywhere you think you just fell out of a coconut tree plus, i'll talk
