this is where it gets the best signal from the cell tower! i've tried everywhere else in the house! there's always a new excuse. well if we got xfinity you wouldn't have to mess around with the connection. therapy's tough, huh? -mmm. it's like a lot about me. [laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. oo this is a good book title. >> find it at walmart cnn this morning with kasie hunt. >> next it's wednesday, july

24 right now on cnn this morning we vice president kamala harris makes her campaign trail debut as the presumptive democratic nominee, plus president biden to address the american people for the first time on his decision to bow out of the 2024 race. and dozens of congressional democrats steer clear of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's joint address to congress. >> tonight all right, 5:00 a.m. here in washington. >> a live look at the nation's capital on this wednesday morning it is going to be a long day in politics today. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. >> it's wonderful to have you with us with just over 100 days until election day kamala

harris trying to keep her momentum rolling as the democratic nominee the vice president leading her first event as the presumptive nominee in milwaukee, and offering her pitch to voters 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 so while harris was making her case against donald trump, president biden returned to the white house and announced he'll address the nation from the oval office tonight. it will be the

president's first formal remarks. since telling the country that he's not running for reelection, he is expected to explain that decision and tell us what lies ahead. joining me now, julia manchester, national political reporter at the hill and nicholas johnston, the publisher of axios. good morning to both nick johnson. >> i want to start with the harris event yesterday. yeah. the biden campaign actually putting out biden campaign the harris campaign formerly the biden campaign. it's like the platform formerly known as twitter at this point putting out that this was the biggest crowd that they've had at a campaign event which probably stings a little bit if you're president biden, but underscores kind of the enthusiasm, the enthusiasm moment that there was a big sense of energy here they're like up, you talk to democrats for the last month, there was just a touch of despondency at after the debate, they were sad about defending biden. they are sad about trying to figure out what to do about biden. they were struggling through what was going to happen that can you call them now under excited and they're happy like they're having fun. again, talking about commonly happy warrior like there's, i think that keeps coming to my mind is the big mode. this is for somebody

who receives into viewers who might remember this one, joe talking about his after winning ohio, this sense of momentum now, will that translate into polls? will that translate an actual movement in the race? but we've seen hundred, i think almost a quarter billion dollars in the first three or four days into the campaign. campaign donations and the democrats like they've got a little momentum energy behind it seemed that in the big crowds there just hitting more fun again. so we'll see you that translate into the poll numbers. >> julie manchester, you, this is what you're reporting. two were in a much better place than we were even yesterday. one democratic operative said calling the the show of unity a pleasant surprise and comparing it favorably to what happened in 1968 when democrats had a pretty crazy convention, right? >> so we've heard last week and i think over the past few weeks, we heard that 1968 comparison. one comparison i've been hearing since biden dropped out and since harris took place at the top of the ticket informally, is that this is a lot like 2008, there's that feeling of energy momentum going into this. i mean, i think a lot of democrats i talked to you were dreading the convention, not knowing what to

expect, but now that everyone has fallen in line behind harris including her potential challengers, some people well who were thought to be challengers the josh shapiro's, mark, callie's, andy beshear's. they've all fallen in line behind her as well. while so after we saw that unity last week at the republican national convention, we're seeing so much unity from democrats, speed of all this, i think is really interesting even when it became clear that joe biden was going and to step out on that kamala harris would be next, like, how long would it take for the party to coalesce those 32 hours? >> a quick like i said, a couple weeks ago, gradually, then suddenly this happened very suddenly and democrats running good morning. well, senator joe manchin was here on monday, maybe going to run for president and then took less than 90 minutes. yeah. like he went down the street to another network afterward, clearly got some sort of phone call in between and got a message that no, no, this is not where democrats wanted to be nick, one of the other things is we're starting to get some other polling data in here in the trump campaign in pollster tony fabrizio put out basically a preemptive memo trying to say yes, we're going to see the

harris honeymoon insisting it's going to go away. but look, here's the new reuters ipsos poll out. this morning. it shows kamala harris at 40 for donald trump, at 42, are official characterization of this here at cnn is that there's no clear leader, but let's throw up what this looks like. compared to july 16, which of course came right after the assassination attempt. that's what the reuters ipsos poll. that's the difference, right? so on july 16, it was trump plus two. now, it's harris plus two. that's a swing of four points. obviously, these national polls are not at the end of the day. what matter? most but they do offer us a little bit of insight into how things are exactly what i'm waiting for. i'm talking about the big mo before like is it actually going to move the needle we have lived through a lifetime of political events in the last 30 days but if you look at the polls, 45 days ago, and then now they're kind of in the same place. you know, donald trump, a slightly big, durable lead right on the edges of the margin of error. now there's reuters poll it's coming out. i think what's really interesting is he has this moved, the needle is commonly harris. this momentum, this excitement in the party enough to kind of change this race, i

think we'll know that the next couple of days. >> yeah. i mean, look, i think the smart strategists that i talk to will say if democrats are going to win an election, they need it like a five or six point lead in the national polls for that to actually translate down into this thanks, states. so we're going to have to see how, how that works. and it's also interesting what happens when you add third-party candidates into the mix. it shows maybe harris rfk may have almost lead with tirelessly with much bigger over trump with kaitlan absolutely. >> yeah. julia. >> this is obviously a race to define kamala harris as well. i mean, she's got they know this. i mean, i think both the trump campaign and the harris campaign know this, right? they've got a couple of weeks here to reintroduce her. if you're if you're the harris campaign to the american people in a way that's on your terms, the trump campaign is gonna be scrambling to do it on their terms. firms donald trump, the former president, who hasn't had event in the spotlight plan for this string of days went so far as to call in to a press call yesterday, which to be clear is very unusual as one who has been on many of these types of phone calls over my

years covering campaigns and he wanted to talk about kamala harris in the border. let's listen to a little bit of what the former president said on this call as a result of her dangerously extreme immigration policies, the largest invasion in history is now taking place at our southern border and it's getting worse, not better. they gave it a band-aid a few weeks ago, but the best today it has not been working at all in her entire time as vice president and borders czar kamala israe pointedly never spoken to the chief of the border patrol. >> she visited the border only a single time far away from the epicenter of the invasion so that's what donald trump sounds like when he's reading. i mean, clearly like this was a prepared thing and i also will say the biden team didn't declare her the borders are they wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration policies and central america that said giving her that job didn't do her any favors, right? this is a place where the trump campaign pain feels confident absolutely. i mean, they've been zeroing on immigration for

quite some time. >> i think my question is though, over the past few days, we've seen democrats work to define kamala harris, obviously in a very positive light and it's working particularly with young voters with millennial voters, with gen z voters, we hear about bragg girl summer, we hear about the coconut tree three memes, et cetera. that's all working in her favor. we saw these clips prior to her becoming the likely nominee. and oftentimes republicans would use them to attack her as, being sort of putting out this >> now they seem to be energized. it's camo harris, brett, it's fun again. >> i don't know the one question i would say before i get out of here though. >> remember george hw bush had the big mo in 1980 and went on to lose. so this is a story that's still being figured out. i mean, as you pointed

out, we live through what felt like decades history in a month or less, and we have over 100 days left pretty well, actually equal bring like, oh my goodness, okay, julia manchester, nick johnson. thank you guys closer much for being here are coming up next. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu makes his long awaited, address to congress tonight. but a number of lawmakers are not planning to show up. plus prominent palestinian foes sign an agreement of nudity will explain that and republican leaders grow rarely of their colleagues, dei, attacks against the vice president just like go. watch older who episodes of in practical jokers on a new network thursdays way to network these fish to junipers, ai native network now everyone's still productive. they're operating at a higher gear. >> now their network is

including the rivals hamas and fatah, have agreed to join forces. >> the reconciliation talks hosted in beijing comes as the future governance of the palestinian territories remains in serious question after israel's repeated vow how to eliminate hamas in the wake of the october 7 terrorist attacks just the most important consensus reached during the talks of palestinian factions in beijing is achieved, granted reconciliation and unity among the 14 factions. >> the core outcome is to make clear that the palestine liberation organization is the sole legitimate representative of all palestinian people cnn's max foster joins us live now from london. >> max. good morning to you. big picture. i mean, i am fascinated by the fact that these talks took place in china. and very interested in what that says about the region and the various push and pull. >> but this is a significant agreement because these

factions have not been able to get on the same page in the past, what happened here and what does it mean for the future of gaza well, the palestinian authority is being control of gaza and the west bank get lost show of gaza when there was a vote and have a mascot voted in. it's also become much less popular in the west bank since the war began. and hamas has become more popular in the west bank because of the way they resisted israeli attacks in gaza. so that's the domestic view, very briefly there in a position now where fatter and the palestine authority, or weakening they've got to find a way forward. there's lot of pressure, obviously, from local arab countries, but also european countries in the u.s. to try to come up with some sort of authority that would oversee gaza and the west it's bank going forward when this war is finally finished. so they're trying to find some solution to that. on the china angle. i mean, it is

interesting because china's asserting itself on the world stage, getting involved in this conflict. but this still wouldn't have happened in america because america wouldn't agree to her hamas being part of this future that's where we're getting the resistance now yeah, it's it says a lot about how things are aligning in sort of the new world order, if you will maximum me, ask you, prime minister benjamin netanyahu is here in washington. >> quite frankly, the way that they have to secure him hat means that if you live in this city, you cannot miss his presence because the roads are a total mess. but there's a reason why it is that way, because there are so many protesters here. the tensions are so high. that's why the security around him is so high and he's going to give this address to congress. the vice president kamala harris is not going to be there at this joint session. mike johnson, the house speaker, was asked about that on capitol hill by by our colleagues. let's watch that

it is outrageous to me and inexcusable that as the leader mentioned, that kamala harris is boycotting this this joint session. >> this is an historic moment. it's an important moment for the country, for all the reasons. we've said the gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. and yet kamala harris will abandon her seat. as you all know, as the vice president and has serving as the president of the senate, she is supposed to be seated next to me at the rostrum. she will not be there because she refuses to attend. she needs to be held accountable for that so we should be clear that the harris team had a previously scheduled event, but what do you make of this? >> the dynamic max i'm the wall with kamala harris, just the idea that all of these democrats are boycotting this speech. kamala harris, who he's right, she's technically the president and the senate as the vice president of the united states. but this is also a situation where the republicans control the house. they've invited him. this,

this has been done before. what are the israeli prime minister has been invited and given an address. what it has been very controversial. it says a lot about the domestic politics going on here. and i also think it's interesting that netanyahu is set to go on after this speech down to mar-a-lago? >> yeah. i mean i mean, so many people are asking why enough netanyahu is going there because the deal, a piece still hasn't been signed in israel, priorities are there. he's going into washington when politics is very divided he's facing protests. there. and this is a protest, isn't it as well, by some members politicians in the u.s. as well. so the idea that he's presenting himself prioritizing this alliance with the u.s. is one thing you might argue that's a good thing for israel. but if it just shows how divisive he is he could do more damage than good by going to the u.s. i think in israel, frankly, there are lots of questions about why he's even then what he's going to get from it. and of course, some

tension between him and donald trump as well. so let's see, sort of resolves that that could blow up as well. so the whole premise of this visit is being questioned by so many from outside and it's a big test for him really very interesting, max foster for us this morning, max always grateful to have you. >> thank you so much alright. >> coming up next here. kamala harris hits the ground running the vp campaigning as democrats presumptive presidential nominee after a record fundraising haul, plus deltas still trying to recover from friday's tech outage will try to let you no. how long these cancellations my last saturday on the whole story, political violence has always threatened our democracy after the attempt on trump it's life. where does america go from here? the whole story with anderson cooper, political violence, america is

we're feeling in the heat over some locations including western north america. here's the 30 million americans under these heat alerts. and then of course with the dry conditions, we have well very rapid fire growth potential, at least look at this. we have red flag warnings in place, montana through idaho, parts of oregon, 69 active large wildfires burning out of control. and we talked about this yesterday. there are these dry thunderstorms, they produce rain, but it evaporates before it reaches the ground. so those lightning strikes, right within this area. so you can see that boise to halina and the great falls area. that's where we potentially have these dry lightning storms producing more wildfires. now there's a lot of smoke associated with this degree mean the quality of the air yesterday, this is what it looked like downtown denver. they had at one moment in time, the eighth worst air quality in the entire planet in terms of large cities. so, yeah, that was the sun trying to poke through wildfire smog yeah, really tough. >> all right. derek van dam for us, derek. thank you. always

hard to keep attacks against kamala harris focused on policy after comments like this one from republican congressman tim burchett earlier in the week drew backlash 100%. >> she was a dei higher. >> and of course dei stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion the congressional black caucus chair steven horsford called those remarks, quote, inappropriate and offensive. when asked about burchett's comment referring to harris as a dei hire, the house speaker, mike johnson, had this to say this election, as i noted at the outset, is going to be about policies, not personalities. this is not personal with regard to kamala harris and her ethnicity or her gender, had nothing to do with this whatsoever? >> harris is, on track to become the first black woman and first asian american to lead a major party's presidential ticket joining us now is punchbowl news andrew desiderio and farnoush amiri of the associated press. good morning to both of you. thank you so much for being here

farnoush we heard from both mike johnson and also his predecessor, kevin mccarthy on this johnson telling our haley talbot that these, these lines of attacks, or just a bad idea, like just please don't go there. and then this is how kevin mccarthy put it. watch i would say to attacks, i've heard republicans give that are totally stupid and dumb to do is the dei. i disagree with the ai, but she is the vice president united states. she is the former us senator. these congressmen that are saying they're wrong in their own ends so look, we've had plenty of criticism for kevin mccarthy, but politically speaking he's pretty sure footed in this, i think. >> yeah. i mean, they see this as why not focus on the policies where they are able to point to kamala harris and say you know, we have been criticizing biden for the border for so long. they call

her the borders are right. they're like, why not point to these issues and they know that by making this personal, by making this about gender, by making this about race, they will lose a faction of the voter base that the trump campaign is desperately trying to get young voters, black voters so why? i go into this, but the thing is depending on what the party messages and what people end up saying are usually very different things. >> well, here, andrew was the new congresswoman from wyoming about this she did not seem to get the memo from the speaker or from kevin mccarthy. let's watch harriet higman i think she's one of the weakest candidates i've ever seen in the history of our country i mean intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel. i think she was a dei hire and i think that that's what we're seeing. and i just don't think that they have anybody else. i just think that there in real disarray so what is your i reporting on how they're trying to handle this

and what's next, not only his leadership, trying to communicate that this is not the right way to go on the attack against their political opponents, but also just to say that she's you know, this isn't intelligent woman. >> she was elected attorney general of the largest state in the country she was elected to the united states senator from the largest state in the country as well. she clearly has the background necessary for this for this job. she's been vice president for almost four years now. let's just focus on the policies, right? and they feel like the biden administration record they can successfully pin on her, write all these things. they've been talking about with regard to president biden, to the extent that they've been running against only president biden over the last couple of years here for this reelection race is about the border inflation, the economy, things like that what the leadership is communicating down to the rank and file is that you can attack her for that stuff too, because it's the biden-harris administration. in other words, let's just keep this focus on policy and i think that's what

you're seeing from the leadership right now. >> yeah. i mean, farnoush, it's it's very clear from what you're seeing whether it's the memo that tony fabrizio at put out the trump campaign and pollster yesterday, if you read conservative media, you might think actually that president biden was still running for reelection in the way that they're trying to portray it. >> yeah. i mean, they didn't want this. right. they were working actively to make sure that joe biden was the nominee that donald trump was going to go against. and when kamala harris came in, it ruined our entire their entire party platform on like we're going to focus on this guy being really old. we're going to focus on this guy not being able to do the job. now, donald trump is the oldest person in this race, so that goes against everything they had planned for from so long. >> very clearly, andrew briefly, what is the sense of how this changes the map for house races and senate races. >> yeah. i mean, that's the big question right now. right republicans down the ballot were very eager to attack their democratic opponents. four in their words lying about joe

biden's cognitive abilities, his mental acuity, things like that. those attacks of us have suddenly been neutralized and they are trying to find new ways in new ways to attack their democratic opponents. but what you are seeing though, is democrats still having an advantage, particularly in battleground states? where, for example, even in states where donald trump is slightly ahead the democratic senate candidate is way ahead of their republican challenger. pennsylvania is a good example of this. there was a poll that came out last week that showed donald trump up by three points in that state. but the incumbent senator bob casey a democrat up by 11 points over his republican challenger. if democrats want to keep these racist focused on candidate versus candidate races. but of course the top of the ticket is going to have an impact. we just don't know what that impact is going to be at because frankly, it's way too early issues only been the presumptive nominee for one day 30's, 36 hours now and yeah. >> it's a it's an election

cycle like no other andrew farnoush. thank you both very much for being here. >> all right. let's turn out of this democratic donors have been lining up to support kamala harris as presidential bid we just had some breaking news. we just had the best 24 hours grassroots fundraising in presidential campaign history cnn reporting that harris has secured enough support from delegates, but she will be able to become the democratic nominee for president. >> the ceo of a group dedicated to growing black women political power, telling cnn's fredricka scout and quote, her multiple identities are actually her superpower in this moment. and fredricka joins me now to talk about her new reporting on this. fredricka. good morning to you. good morning so talk about the grassroots fundraising and what you have discovered in your

reporting. as people who see themselves in kamala harris seem to be opening up their wallets exactly. >> i mean, it's really been striking. >> i mean, just the overall numbers are huge. they just updated them this morning. she's raised 126 million between sunday afternoon and last night. i mean, that isn't a staggering amount of money and what you're hearing over and over again from people is, as you mentioned, her multiple identities is not just the first woman who could be president, the first black woman, the first asian woman, the first woman of jamaican descent. and all of these people are opening up their wallets some of them for the first time ever, i was talking with a donor fundraiser actually yesterday who said that he heard from people who had never given before. it didn't know how and they were texting him saying, now, tell me where is the link and think about it. if you want to donate to someone, turns and over your credit card number be bombarded

with a fundraising appeal. >> not realize that's about that's about that, but think about it. >> there is a sense of those people will also turn out to vote. and then there is this sort of core group of people, her sorority sisters talk about a secret weapon there. we are seeing a lot of them starting to donate well, tell me a little bit about that because i think people are going to be learning a lot about the divine nine you know, her sorority aka right? >> what, what is the origin of that? what does that represent? two people and how are you seeing it? in the details of the fundraising contribution? absolutely. i mean, these alpha kappa alpha sorority ink was founded in 1908 at howard university, which is kamala harris's alma mater. and it is one of the oldest sorority's in the country. it is when you interview people sometimes they'll say to you, you'll say, what do you do for a living and will say, i'm a banker and i aka member. that is how strongly people

identify. and one of the things that we saw in 2020 when she was named to the ticket with joe biden, is that people started to give $19.08 to send a signal to the campaign that they approved. we're seeing that again this time when people are really messaging with their money, they've gotten a 1,500 contributions of exactly $19.08 between sunday evening and monday evening so interesting, i will say you can always, you always know who they are he's right, you know, they show up at two harris-vance dressed pink and green colors? yes. the screaming can green and it's it's it's definitely a thread that, has been woven through her political story all the way along as well. >> frederick schouten. thank you so much for being here with us. appreciate it. >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, israel's prime minister addressing a joint meeting of congress will tell you the notable names who are skipping out on that speech plus president biden addressing

disaster he has put his own personal interests ahead of the interests of the people of his country and what he has done in gaza is unspeakable all right, joining me now to discuss is joel rubin. he is the former deputy assistant secretary of state for president obama joel. >> good morning to you. can you walk us through the very tricky dynamics? next that are on display here. the fact that netanyahu was invited by republicans. this speech is going to be boycotted by some democrats, but let's not lose sight of netanyahu's precarious position at home as the ceasefire and hostage negotiations hanging in the balance yeah kasie, it's great to be with you. the prime minister's here at, as you describe, what could not be a hotter time in american politics. but it taught over in israel as well. he's deeply unpopular. there are significant protests happening on a repetitive basis, calling for him to cut the deal to

finalize ceasefire with hamas, to get hostages home. and so his visit here, it can be seen through that that kind of view, which is basically he is trying to shore up his base at home. and show israelis that he is still has the american alliance have his back. but when he's walking into is a real dicey situation where he he's become so deeply unpopular here. certainly amongst democrats that he has to kind of show that he can reach out, put up that that all of all brands and try to show that he does care about the bipartisan support for israel that would be a success for him. but there are a lot of moving parts that he's facing in both directions yeah. >> joe, let me show you kind of a sampling thing of the lawmakers who are not planning on attending. how they're talking about it, it's actually we can show you a few people who are making the argument one way or the other. >> starting with senator elizabeth warren. >> let's watch this i'm not

going. he has put his own personal interests ahead of the interests of the people of his country and what he has done in gaza is unspeakable. >> my sit in that chair what even on days that there will be an unpleasant i feel when a world leaders come to the people's chamber it's important that we hear their perspective israel is our closest ally joe i'm interested in how this plays out, especially with kamala harris now at the top of the ticket, she's talked about this a little bit differently. >> than president biden. obviously, it's something that has been splitting the democratic party and you could see that split on display. >> yeah. >> yeah look, i think the vice president that she she's making the right call by meeting with the prime minister and also sticking their schedule. you know, she has a job to do but multiple jobs right now, clearly. and this is this is

part of the task of leading the country, is ensuring that one so he's getting all the inputs they can. and i think meeting with the prime minister is very important. but go into the speech that's not necessarily requirement. this is an add-on and the prime minister, he has the administration's support for israel's security. but i think what we're seeing with the comments that you're pointing out some of these statements are incredibly serious and strong, strongly worded about the prime minister being here because there's real concern that he's not trying to finalize a ceasefire agreement and move this war towards a path that is protecting palestinian lives, protecting israeli security, and getting to the ultimate goal of stability in the region, which includes good to palestinian state and that he is not close that deal and so part of her meeting today, which i think is very important, is to get that message across that he has to have an end game that this cannot be a continual open, unending long war that israel

prosecutes. in that they can't expect the u.s. to support that evidence for him perpetuity all right. >> joel rubin for us this morning, joel. thank you very much. very grateful for your time today. >> thanks, kasie all right. >> time now for sports canada's olympic committee is apologizing after their women's soccer team was accused of spying on an opponent with a drone how's that for a lead. okay. any scholz has this far in this morning's bleacher report? andy, good morning kasie. >> it's rather wild. so the ties are practicing in france is getting ready for the olympics. and while new zealand was on the field they noticed a drone was hovering above their practice watching. so they notified police who then detained the drone operator who turned out to be a member of the canadian women's support team. so new zealand and canada, they play each other in their opening group stage game tomorrow. the canadian olympic committee issued a statement apologizing, adding they are reviewing the next steps with the ioc and fifa they're set

to be another update on what happens next with this later today canada's women are the defending gold medalist. >> see where that goes all right, the u.s. men's soccer team meanwhile, kick off olympic play later today, this is gonna be the first time the us men are in the olympics and 16 year's tough first game against host france in front of what's expected to be a sellout crowd. and more say, to get ready on the team, got together to watch one of the best sports movies of all time miracle, the film about the 1980 us hockey team beating the odds to win gold yeah i think a lot of a lot of the players took away that the group is the strongest thing, not an individual player and then i'm movin a really, they really show that you know, any group of guys i really believe in each other and believe in the group can achieve anything. and i think our team feels that way and understands that the best chance we have is if we stick together. so i think that was a good movie for us to watch going into the games i do us women's basketball team.
