captioning have call now and we'll come to you 800 a31, 3,700 top of the hour here in washington, dc, we are standing by to hear from vice president kamala harris as she kicks off her presidential campaign at a rally in milwaukee, wisconsin. >> her first campaign event since becoming the presumptive democratic presidential nominee after president biden stepped aside? >> no today's rally in the battleground, state of wisconsin is capping a whirlwind 48 hours where harris secured enough delegates to lock up the nomination, and then just in the last hour, she got the endorsements of the top two democrats on capitol hill is senate majority leader chuck schumer, and house minority leader hakeem jeffries put their full support behind harris, the vice president's rally is happening as president biden is returning to the white

house. these are pictures from just moments ago and do the first images that we've seen of the president since he went into isolation with covid-19 just a week ago, he is headed back to the white house and tomorrow that's it's where he will address the nation from on his decision to drop his reelection bid and endorsed his vice president for the nomination. we have cnn's eva mckend, who is at the harris campaign rally. eva set the stage for us here. >> well, brianna, the stakes are tremendously high and the vice president is expected to speak to that. she's also expected to really lean into her career as a prosecutor in making the case against donald trump and drawing that contrast, as she will argue that he is a threat to democracy, that he has undermined the efforts to protect reproductive rights. and that he has not done enough to really, during his administration care for working families. i can tell you from

traveling with her on the campaign trail the last couple of weeks, this feels like an entirely different campaign. there how much momentum and excitement and enthusiasm here on the ground among democratic supporters, including young people who will be so vital in this election take a listen to how they're thinking about this moment i think she is iconic and then also i agree with her on policy. >> i'm so excited for the debate. seeing a prosecutor against a felon. i think that's going to be really interesting and i just agree with her a lot policy-wise and just overall seeing a strong, independent woman on the ballot this november is really promising to me. obviously, abortion is at the forefront of all of our minds. glenn, something i'm also really passionate about is the education and keeping the department of education against going what project 2025 is wanting to do this november and that woman that you just heard from, she will actually have the opportunity to vote in her first election this november

and i'll end with this brianna every democratically elected leader, nearly every major one in this state has endorsed the vice president. >> she is going to need the critical infrastructure in the state of wisconsin and other battleground states that are already in place. in order to be successful come the fall. >> brianna certainly as eva mckend. thank you so much for that. the sudden surge in endorsements and support also, a lot of cash, a lot of it for vice president harris is giving democrats hope that they may be able to expand the electoral map and cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now what are you hearing about this possibility, jeff? >> just should remind everyone when it was biden, there were three states they really thought at pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, and that was the pathway. but now they think perhaps they can expand this map and expand it from those three and keep it from expanding as they were worried about in the last several weeks and as eva was just reporting there from milwaukee, the reason that this

visit, of course, is so important harris campaign officials and democrats on the ground there believed that the combination of winning the state like wisconsin similar to a michigan and pennsylvania, is by driving excitement up in the city's among african american voters other core democrats and also doing better in the suburbs. so these states act together, at least they have in every cycle since 1988, has been since 1988, since those three states have not acted together, we don't know if they will this time of course. >> but as this map is reset, we are going to get a sense of the polling and other data in the coming days. >> we don't know now this essentially a blake slate. and they believe democrats believe, and republicans largely agree that this is going to reset. but the idea of some states now being competitive, like a minnesota may not be the case, however, donald trump has just announced he's going to minnesota on saturday so to try and keep that state in play, we've always talked about

minnesota being the reddest blue state. it was the closest margin back in 2016 with hillary clinton and donald trump. so look across the battleground. it is likely to revert to what it was at the beginning of the campaign as opposed to what it looked like just a few weeks ago of that three-state blue wall path only we have to be clear. >> harris still really has her work cut out for her question without question, but the enthusiasm that we've seen has been pretty astounding and the money has been pretty astounding. it's really eye-popping. let's take a look at some of these numbers i mean just in the last 40 hours, really $100 million. and counting for vice president harris, who now of course is at the top of the ticket or she soon officially will be when that vote comes just a couple of weeks, but that compares to for president biden 127 million entire month of june where donald trump won on 11 million the whole month of june look, she obviously won't raise 100

million every 48 hours. that's not possible. but the idea of excitement, i think speaks to a couple of things. one, there was a lack of excitement for quite some time, the democratic party. so there kind of catching up to that. but there is then excitement for her candidacy. but now the race to define her is on republicans are seizing on that. so they will have to use that money for tv ads to really define her. and defend the definition of her. so this race is just getting restarted important to say, everything we thought we knew about it let's throw it out and watch it. >> lets want you to know and it just reminds us all that we really don't know what is going ultimately happened. we have to, we have to follow along as it goes. all right. jeff zeleny. thanks so much. >> donald trump is posting a floor, a flurry of new attacks on social media today, calling vice president kamala harris a liar, saying president biden was quote, pushed out of power like a dog and slamming fox news for interviewing a

democratic governor, joining us now we have former republican congressman adam kinzinger of illinois, and former clinton white house press secretary, joe lockhart, congressman to you as we note, that harris still does have her work cut out for her here. there is a lot of excitement and i wonder what you think as we certainly, we're waiting polling numbers, right? we want to get a better sense of where things are. but i wonder what you think of the state of the race here well, i think there's a lot of energy now on the democratic side because think about it. there was a lot of dread between another trump-biden rematch, right? i mean, you heard that from everybody. this is like an x factor thrown in the race. we don't quite know yet how kamala harris is going to do on the campaign trail. early signs fans are pretty good, but definitely she's a different person now. and so that dread that i think a lot of people were feeling, they can now look at and say, well, i either have to go with donald trump again, which has kind of been there, done that, or there's this new

opportunity over here with camilla's. so i think there is a lot of energy now with the democratic side. is it going to shift the poll? holes massively? probably not at least in the short term because again this is a very divided country, but whenever you can enthuse, get enthusiasm in your base for election day, that's a huge benefit making sure everybody turns out to vote. so i think it is pretty accurate to say that the battlefield map may be expanding now in the democrats favor, as long as they can hold onto this momentum. and i think fundraising is certainly going to be on their side now, as there's this new level of energy with them and joe, we saw the vice president coalesce the party around her incredible speed, raised tens of milli record record-breaking number of record-breaking amount of money, tens of millions dollars. >> so let's look ahead now, what is the work that lies ahead for her? >> what does she have to do now that all of that has fallen into place? >> well. she has to take her

team and integrate them with the biden team is standard, the campaign is quickly as possible. she's gotten something that i'm not sure everyone's thinking about putting an advantage when a president names their vice president those the vice president generally has a team that runs their politics. the president the team comes in and takes over. there is inevitably tension and there are sometimes days, sometimes weeks before that all gets worked out. she's been through this before she understands how to do that. so they most important thing is she stands up the campaign quickly and it works from the beginning. i think i think congressman king is there thanks. zurich. hit on something which is good news so far. but what everyone in the republican party in the media is going to be looking for are some missteps here with the campaign doesn't seem to quite hebet together. >> i think based on her experience and based on the biden team, i mean, listen, we shouldn't forget that one of the reasons that she came out so quickly coalesce the field is by the way, biden and his team did it by keeping it a

secret and not allowing others to commit and organize and sort of making it a fait accompli that gave her a big advantage i remember not very long ago speaking with democrats who were privately urging biden to get out of the race. and then in the next breath saying they didn't think kamala harris, the vice president, was the person to get the votes that the democratic ticket needed to win. i mean, surely those concerns don't just completely evaporate no, they don't. >> but, you know, as joe biden once said, he's running against donald trump. >> he's not running against god. i think what's happened in the party is that even those who had some doubts about the vice-president have now seen this as a clear choice. they see the excitement they see the money, and they see with their choices as democrats and as activists and partisans, they have one person to get behind

we were able to avoid a free for all between now and the convention, which really could have strained a lot of relationship, a lot of relationships. so i think again, it's early, but coming coming out of this, i think they've handled it flawlessly and congressman kinzinger, i do want to ask you because you endorsed president joe biden in the presidential race with him now, stepping aside, do you plan to endorse kamalaharris and what do you want to hear from her? well i mean i, think it'll be a safe bet to assume i will. i haven't heard from her yet or team, so i'll i'll wait for that, but i mean, look, it's donald trump tried to overthrow the rightful transfer of power in the government. and as, you know, as much as people in the last week have said he's changed. she obviously by his tweet you know, explosion today, there's nothing about him that's changed. he's all about himself not the american people so i don't think it's going to be a big surprise that i would i would do that, but i think the big thing is just for her not not for me, but for

republicans like me, is just to show a desire to unify the country. i don't think republicans like me are looking for her to become a republican or all of a sudden change what she believes. but just to understand that there's a place for us in america, what donald trump has made clear is that there's not a place in america for people that disagree with him. he has this term about real americans versus whatever aid, not real american as i guess, people that live in cities which actually up number of people that live in rural communities. so i think that's what she has to do. and show herself to be a strong on national defense or even stronger than joe biden congressman, i want to ask you about we've heard one particularly kind of gross attack on harrison that was timber chat, who's a congressman from tennessee calling her a dei hire. >> and this is broadly something that we're hearing from republicans. i want to play what tim burchett said the two soundbites actually one is how he used this in a hearing

yesterday against the secret service, drove its former secret service director. now kimberly cheatle it all and then what he said about kamala harris to manu raju. here it is i don't think he should resign. >> i think she should have been fired. ma'am, you are a dei horror story suggesting she's d she was a dei hire 100%. she was idea what is going on here considering you know, you have for instance, in the case of cheatle, someone who had worked for 27 years in the secret service and in the case of harris, you have someone who was elected as part of a ticket was elected prior was as a senator and also has quite a history as a prosecutor. >> what do you make of this yeah. >> also like tim burchett, specifically, he does his thing where he has a little cute southern accent and maybe throws in some some acronym

with about a possum or something like that, and then says really hot horrible things. and this is actually if you look at right-wing twitter and kind of right-wing social media. this is all over. so if you see a plane crash, i'm a pilot obviously, so i pay attention to this stuff. well, you see a plane crash, you'll always see comments under that must have been a dei hire. there's this belief that having black pilots that united for some reason is dei guy and not that, you know, what's remember the tuskegee airmen, by the way, not that african american men can actually go and become pilots on their own. this is a disgusting dog whistle. it's not even a dog whistle anymore. it's an outright whistle that a white female at secret service is somehow a diversity basically what they're saying is old the white men are deserving of certain positions. and i thought that we got past that about 60 years ago in this country. and so i think what they're feeding the trolls on right-wing twitter. but i think this is content. i hope it's

continuing to isolate them from the vast majority of americans actually believed keep that we should get beyond race and gender in terms of making hiring decisions. >> yeah. we'll see we'll see if your assessment there is correct. it's pretty stunning. what we're seeing congressman joe. thank you so much to both. you would do appreciate it. and we are following some breaking news here. sources tell cnn that democratic senator bob menendez will be resigning his seat after his federal bribery conviction. >> cnn's manu raju is on the hill. manu, what more are you hearing on this breaking news? >> yeah this comes in the aftermath of his conviction on 716 felony charges, including extortion, bribery, working as a foreign agent on behalf of the government of egypt. this caps a tumultuous time in washington for someone who had rose over the last three decades from someone in a rank and file member of the house us, to one of those powerful people in the senate as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. menendez

has been facing the threat of possibly being expelled from the united states senate after his conviction, after he was found guilty on those 16 felony charges, a number of democrats had said that they will be open to the idea of pushing him out of the senate. that is something that is rarely done, but something would require two thirds majority in the united states senate already, almost all of his senate democratic colleagues had asked him to resign. so his support had been crumbling when he was indicted, initially, and then especially so in the aftermath of this conviction, when the senate majority leader when those democratic calls for him to resign. now that menendez will resign effective august 20. that's when the governor of new jersey, phil murphy, who's a democrat, will appoint a replacement. the replacement will serve to the end of menendez's term, which is the end of this year, there are questions about who he might replace but almost certainly a democrat, that could potentially include the democratic nominee, andy kim, who's a congressman right now.

he's the light is the favorite to hold that seat for democrats in the fall, but also potentially the governor's wife as well. tammy murphy, someone to look at is potentially somebody could put in that seat in this interim period, murphy, his wife's to try to challenge for the democratic nomination other before it ultimately stepping aside and let leading to andy kim's ascension. but this is a significant moment because as i mentioned, menendez came from, became someone who is pretty powerful figure in the united states senate was influential on immigration policy influential on foreign policy here even one in effort to effort when he was indicted back in 2017 because of a hung jury and a separate corruption case. when in the aftermath of that, that's when prosecutors said he started to take bribes and his other corruption case that ultimately led to his conviction just a couple of weeks ago. so we expect this up it's announcement guys to be made shortly after menendez privately told his staff and others that he would step aside

are effective august 20 yeah. >> and by the way, not a lot going on on the hill in all of august, just to point out manu raju, thank you so much. we do appreciate the very important update there. and you are looking at, i should say we're looking at live pictures. there we're senator baldwin there in wisconsin who is speaking ahead of vice president harris at her rally in this battleground state, where she's holding, in fact, her first campaign rally. we're keeping an eye on this will get in a quick break and be right back cnn news central brought to you by stanley steamer from carpet. so upholstery, air ducts and more. >> it's not clean until it's stanley steamer, right now, pet dander skin cells in dirt are sizzling, deep into your carpet fibers. stanley steamer removes the dirt, uc in the dirt you don't you're corporates aren't clean until there's stanley steamer clean looking

nation from the oval office. his first on-camera comments, talking about why he stepped aside. we have cnn senior white house correspondent kayla tausche here with us kayla, what are we expecting to hear from this primetime address? >> brianna, when president biden said that he would be exiting the race, he promised the american people more detail on exactly what led to his change of heart, which just a few weeks ago, he had said that only the lord almighty could convince him to step aside. but in the weeks after that, fundraising all but dried up and prominent party leaders ratcheted up their pressure on him to step aside, but both of those dynamics reversing themselves in dramatic course and just two days since vice president harris assumed the reins of the democratic candidacy for president hear the campaign says that more than $100 million in fundraising singh has poured in the majority of which it says is coming from first-time donors she's racking up new

endorsements and more than 58,000 volunteers have signed on to the vice president's ground game for this sprint to the finish line, when harris visited the campaign's headquarters yesterday, that's now being in rebranded as harris for president. of course before she named her running mate, which we expect in short order before the convention. biden called in and said that he would still be supporting her all along the way, threw his support behind his vice president and said that while the name atop the ticket might change the mission has not changed. as for the mood on the ground at the event that you guys were just showing guys campaign spokesperson tells cnn's betsy klein that the 3,000 people in attendance at that event is the largest crowd of any democratic campaign event. this cycle that just shows you this infusion shan of new energy within the party that supporters of the vice president, as they try to infuse this new candidate with

some new energy, with just about 100 days to go before the election all right. >> kayla tausche. thank you so much for that report. live for us from the white house joining us now is congressman mike quigley. he's a democrat from illinois and he sits on the house appropriations committee thank you so much for being with us. and as we are awaiting this rally to begin, we'll for the vice president kamala harris, part of the rally to begin in wisconsin, i wanted to ask you because i was talking with one of your fellow colleagues, not long before president biden stepped aside? and this person said there was a lot of concern within the democratic caucus that kamala harris may not be the person to pull the votes that were needed for the democratic presidential ticket to be successful. and even as we see, we are, we've seen a lot of enthusiasm for her, but certainly those

concerns that i just mentioned don't evaporate. what do you say about them right i'd say the party is unifying in a hurry. we heard there would be cast president biden stepped aside and said, you've seen a lightning quick unification. and that because she's stranger, but because we know are also well, we know what a great nominee candidate and president xi will be so you raise $100 million in afflack of an eye and unify the party you get the majority of delegates behind you. so that we can go forward with the virtual vote. roughly the first week in august and go into the convention in chicago with a head of steam and she is consolidating that support in the party. >> but of course, she needs to consolidate support among voters. some of which may not identify with the party. what are the conversations? that are being had are that need to be had about combating perhaps

some of her weaknesses or her areas for growth with those voters everybody has areas of gross, but i grow up. i heard these same issues and talk when a friend of mine from chicago, barak obama was going to run right? and he did quite well. i think she's as dynamic a campaigner as president obama was i think you'velready started to see what that means. i think what we may be forgetting here as well as all of a sudden the focus now shifts on an hourly candidates on the republican side hey who has a series of issues, not least of which crimes and misdemeanors and a lot of other problems that we can focus on with project 2025 is, it a mythical plan? it was a lot of what president trump did his first term i do want to mention we're looking at live pictures now of president biden who is

heading back to the white house. >> here he is arriving at joint base andrews and he will be heading to the white house. he's going to make this primetime address tonight. just taking a pause from some of our talk about vice president harris to ask you, is he speaks tomorrow about why he stepped aside, what are you hoping to hear from? >> well, first, again, thanks to an extraordinarily selfless acts by the president, which i think would cement his legacy i think he's going to talk a little bit more about why he made this decision, how he feels about the vice president, where our country needs to go. i think i think probably intends to talk about what he'd like to accomplish in the closing months of his tenure as president united states we heard congressman timber shut calling vice president harris a dei hire, which has kind of

become this almost like a like a veiled slur. >> i think because we see people using it when it just it doesn't even make sense of people who weren't hired, but maybe who are elected and what we see is this tends to be something that has only said about people of color or people who are not men i wonder what the effect is in your mind of some republica talking like that but with also a nod to the fact that there are people within your own party who while they think that harris, his background, should be a benefit to her, the perspective that she brings and the representation that she brings. they also worry that some voters might not see it that way. what do you say look, it's i believe it's intended as a slur. >> i think you're just going to just starting to see the beginnings of that. but i think

the american people will see through that and unite against that sort of thing. again obviously she's not a higher elected by the people united states of america erica and it's not the dei, labor label or past history that they're worried about with her it's the fact that she was a prosecutor and their candidate is convicted felon. this is a rich diverse country. we'd like to think of that as a strength, not a weakness and why not be represented by someone who represents so much of that fabric that we treasure. >> what do you think about some of the energy from younger voters for kamala harris, i imagine you've had to learn what bratt is here in the last day or so. i mean, what what are you making of? this whole new world that i think the non gen z-ers are discovery. well first you touched on a good point. >> it is a whole new world because you know one of the reasons i was concerned before

president biden made his choice was i was concerned about where young people were going to go in this upcoming election. i was concerned that they were to be apathetic or stay stay out of this entirely. >> i now no longer have those concerns of part of that base that's been revived is a very a young person's campaign and i'm with them i just watched if the first 24 hours was this dynamic now, watch for the next 24 days, it's going to be fun to watch do you worry it could fizzle now, i look, there's an adrenaline that comes with this in a momentum and, again, that's exactly why one of the key reasons that president biden stepped aside. >> there's a momentum and politics just like there is in sports. and that you have to make some time a change during that time to change the momentum. i think he see the field tilted the wrong way for the republicans. that's what's

concerning them. and i think that's why they're being so aggressive against her congressman, mike quigley. great to have you on. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> take care and i want to get to cnn's annie grayer, who is live on capitol hill to talk more about these attacks on vice president harris and mike johnson is warning republicans against attacking her on race and gender. >> what more are you learning about this will just republicans essentially have to build their messaging strategy overnight. >> it's essentially like building a plane as it's taking off because rogan's built their entire campaign around attacking president joe biden. but now that he is not running for reelection in harrison does likely to be the democratic presidential nominee. they have to build an entire new strategy. but after talking to republican lawmakers and republican strategist, they're still going to use a lot of the same attacks that they used against biden because harris

was biden's number two. but there are going to be some key additions that they're trying new attacks that they're trying out behind the scenes to develop across the board. but we're not seeing just lawmakers implement, implement that necessarily we saw republican congressman tim burchett yesterday called harris a dei hire, and i'm told that johnson really implored his members behind the scenes to focus on policies, not personality, not all on me for some taken, that guy and go to her to concerns though. so we're going to see how this annie, i'm so sorry to interrupt you. let's listen in on vice president kamala harri s thank you thank you, everyone thank you. good afternoon. was

good afternoon, everyone. thank you. it is good to be back. >> thank you all very much. >> can we please here for leah and her extraordinary story and leadership and i, do believe our teachers do god's work. >> they teach other people's children and god knows we don't pay them enough thank and it is so good to be here on the back with so many extraordinary leaders including my friend, the great governor of wisconsin, tony evers my dear friend, senator tammy baldwin me, you know, i had the

privilege of serving with tammy when i was in the united states senate and she has always fighting for the people of this state. and i know that the folks that are here are going to make sure you return her to walk washington, dc yes, we are going to elect her back to washington, dc. >> it is so good to be here also with lieutenant governor sara rodriguez attorney general, josh kaul wisconsin, the secretary of safe. >> sara got loose ski county executive david david crowley cavalier johnson the great state party chair, ben wikler i have. >> worked with ben, you and i've been working together for years and i can attest he knows

how to build the infrastructure that delivers winds up and down the ballot. thank you so it is good to be back in wisconsin and it is great to be in milwaukee as many of you know, our state campaign headquarters are in this city and there is a reason for that the path to the white house goes through wisconsin and to win in wisconsin, we are counted staying on you right here in milwaukee and you will help us win in 2020 and in 2024, we will win again so milwaukee i

want to start by saying a few words and i could really speak at length, but a few words about are incredible. president joe biden it has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as vice president, to our president joe biden joe's legacy of accomplishment over his entire career and over the past 3.5 years is unmatched in modern history. in one term, think about it in one term as president, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms in office and i know we are all

deeply, deeply grateful for his continuing service to our nation and it is my great honor to have joe biden's endorsement in this race so wisconsin i am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of enough delegates to secure the democratic i am so very honored and i pledge to you, i will spend the coming weeks continuing to unite our party so that we are ready to win in november so friends we

have 105 days until election day. and in that time, we've got some work to do but we're not afraid of hard work. we like hard work doorway and we will win this election so as leah told you before i was elected vice president, before as a united states senator, i was elected attorney general of the state of california, and i was a courtroom prosecutor before them and in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds predators who abused women fraudsters ripped off consumers cheaters broke the rules for their own gain so

hear me when i say on know donald trump's type in this campaign, i promised you, i will proudly put my record against his any day of the week as attorney general of california, i took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students donald trump

ran of for-profit college, that scammed students as a prosecutor i specialized in cases involving sexual abuse well, trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse as attorney general of california, i took on the big wall street banks and held them accountable for fraud donald trump let's, just found guilty of fraud on 34 counts but let's also make no mistake this campaign is not just about us versus donald trump. this campaign is about who we fight for this is about

we fight for just look at how we are running air campaigns. so donald trump is relying on support from billionaires and big corporations and he is trading access in exchange for campaign contributions a couple of months ago, you saw that a couple of months ago at mar-a-lago? literally promised big oil companies, big oil lobbyists he would do their bidding for $1 billion in campaign donations on the other hand, we our running a people power campaign and we just had some breaking news. we just had the best 24 hours grassroots

fundraising in presidential campaign history and because we are a people powered campaign that is how you know, we will be a people first presidency and wisconsin, this campaign is also about two different visions. foreign nation one where we are focused on the future the other focused on the past we believe in a future where every person has the opportunity, not just to get

by, but to get ahead future were no child has to grow up in poverty where every worker has the freedom to join a union health care family leave we believe in a future where every senior can retire with dignity all of this is to say building up the middleclass will be a defining goal of my presidency

because here's the thing we all hear. wisconsin know when our middle-classes strong america is strong but donald trump wants to take our country backward. he and his extreme project 2025. agenda will weaken the middle-class we know we got to take the series. thank you. believe they put that thing in writing read it, is 900 pages but here's the thing. >> you, when you read it, you will see donald trump intends to cut social security and medicare he intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and make working families foot the bill they

intend to end the affordable care act and take us back then to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions remember what that was like? children with asthma women who survived breast cancer grandparents with diabetes america has tried these failed economic policies before but we are not going back are not going we're not

going back because is a fight for the future it is a fight for freedom generations of americans generations. and we have to remember this the shoulders on which we stand generations of americans before us led the fight for freedom. and now wisconsin, the baton is in our hands we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote well, make sure every american has the ability to cast their ballot and have it counted we, who believe that every person in our nation should, who

should have the freedom to live safe from the terror of gun violence finally, pass red flag laws, universal background checks, and an assault weapons ban we who, believe in reproductive freedom stop donald trump's extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own and when congress passes a law to restore reproductive freedoms as

president of the united states, i will sign it into law so wisconsin, ultimately in this election, we each face a question what kind of country do we want to live in a country and to your point do we want to live in a country of freedom compassion and rule of law country of chaos, fear and hate and here's the beauty of this moment we each have the power to answer that question. >> the power is with the people

power to answer that question and then the next 105 days, then we have work to do we have doors, to knock gone, we have phone calls to make register today i ask you, are you ready to get to work we believe in freedom? >> we believe in opportunity we believe in the promise of america we're ready to fight for we fight and there it is

that beyonce song to wrap it up, which ties obviously in with a message that she is putting forth their country about freedom, not about chaos. i want to bring in jeff zeleny and kristen holmes to talk a little bit about what we're seeing. i mean, the thing that strikes me, jeff is just the contrast of a vice president harris to a president biden on the campaign trail without question with the same set of facts, the same opponent, but delivered in a remarkably. choose your word different way. i mean, this is a prosecutor making her case. this is also the same vice president who has been out there really for the last three years making speeches, but not when she is at the top of the ticket, something has changed obviously. now this is her burden. this is her case. and

often when the vice president has been out there, i've been at several of her rallies. she's been talking about the affordable care you're after the infrastructure fund. she's been selling administration's programs, but not in a political speech like this. so look, the race to define vice president kamala harris is on. she is locked in this race. obviously, she's trying to define herself as the prosecutor and the republicans are also trying to define herbert in this key moment here, right out of the gate. it was just striking to watch. i mean, she said it's 105 days between electrode day. yes. we have work to do. we have an election to win. she's not saying that she has this, but democrats just feel a breath of fresh air, a chance that they can actually be coming repetitive. in this race. but just judging her stamina, her energy in her acuity at taking me. this onto donald trump. we're in an entirely different race now. >> yeah, that was a very lively

campaign speech that we saw the crowd engaging in. to that end with the contrast, kristen, not only as a contrast with where the president biden's campaign has been, but she is now striking quite a contrast with former president donald trump. and we've seen her setting this up. that she was a prosecutor. he is a felon. she prosecuted these different types of cases and then we did see her starting to run probably try out some slogans and you heard her saying we're not going back. and people chanting. >> does it start are they starting to try to really draw that contrast with trump? that that's a backward looking choice. >> i mean, i want to go to what jeff was just saying because i think right now at the trump folks are focused on is this race to define kamala harris. because when they look at all the polling, they obviously see the same thing that everybody else did, which was that kamala harris has high name identification. who would it comes to what people actually know about harris, not just as vice president, but also as our time it's a prosecutor. most people don't know a lot about her history. she is now going to have to really raise in the

next four months to define what that looks, what that means going forward, particularly to people who are not, who aren't at that rally, who aren't just so excited for a more lively candidate, but are still looking for options that is what the trump people are going to try to combat. you're going to see them trying to educate people or quote-unquote, introduce kamala harris, their version of kamala harris to the american public. and it's obviously going to be increasingly negative. we've already seen donald trump over and over again bashing her on social media trying out his different slogans. say, there are more insulting than kamala harris saying, let's not go back. but i believe this is going to get increasingly more personal. and one thing to note is that trump's the head of trump's polling tony fabrizio put out a memo that he blasted to essentially everyone. they said it was an internal memo, but they sent it to the press which said that they were expecting a harris honeymoon. well, clearly they are expectation and level-setting right now. they essentially say

that there's likely to be a number of polls and coming weeks, national polls included that show harris either gaining on donald trump in a way that biden was not, or surpassing donald trump, but that they expect over over time, things will even out. again, this is expectation setting for people who have been seeing these poll numbers with donald trump probably also expectation, setting for the candidate himself. >> all right. kristen holmes, jeff zeleny, stay with us. we have much more ahead and take a quick break. we'll be right back. >> the darkness of bipolar depression make me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love then found a chance to let in the light discover, capitalize unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar one, capital, it is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar one and two depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. >> cap loyda can cause serious side effects and call your doctor about sudden mood changes. behaviors, or suicidal
