police department received a 911 call the individual is we believe a white male with an indistinguishable accent a bomb had gone off within 15 or 20 minutes of the call particularly when and it went off early tune in the two hour special how it really happened. >> the atlanta olympic bombing air saturday at 9:00 p.m. eastern thank you all for watching anderson cooper 360 starts right now tonight on 360, it is her campaign in a very tight race. >> oh, come on. harris torch now passed or her began running with it today with a little help from beyonce also new developments in the search for a running mate, which the

harris campaign wants to get done in less than two weeks and with the governor of pennsylvania, one of the possibilities, how does harris play in the commonwealth? john king, is there. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news at the end of what? amounts the first full day of a brand new presidential campaign, a contest, which for all the momentum that kamala harris may now enjoy is still according to new polling, very close. and going to be very tough. and in the wake of president biden's speech last night, it is now fully harris is to win or lose. she met solo tonight with israel's visiting prime minister. their conversation he put up just a short time ago afterwards, the vice president spoke briefly to reporters underscoring her support for israel, reading each of the names of americans held hostage in gaza. and also speaking out against the humanitarian crisis. there calling for progress toward a ceasefire deal to end hostilities as i just told prime minister netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done so to everyone who has been calling for a

ceasefire and to everyone who yearns for piece. i see you i hear you let's get the deal done so we can get a ceasefire to end the war let's. bring the hostages home. and let's provide much needed relief to the palestinians. anyone people and ultimately, i remain committed to a path forward that can lead to a two-state solution. i know right now it is hard to conceive of that prospect, but a two-state solution is the only path that ensures israel remains a secure jewish and democratic state and one that ensures palestinians can finally realize the freedom, security and prosperity that they rightly deserve the vice president took no questions, did not mention the campaign in her statement. >> earlier today, she's spoken houston appearing before the american federation of teachers, thanking them for

their endorsement and touting the biden administration's record occurred regarding unions. her campaign also launched his first tv spot with permission from beyonce to use her song freedom there are some people who think we should be a country of chaos a fear of hate but as we choose something different we choose freedom the freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. >> the freedom to be safe from gun violence. the freedom to make decisions and own body also signaling that it's game on this from the vice president on the subject of debates i have agreed to the previously agreed upon september 10 debate. >> he agreed to that previously. now appears he is

backpedaling, but i'm ready and i think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage. and so i'm ready. let's go well, prior to prison, biden dropping out of the race to two campaigns have agreed to a debate hosted by abc on september 10, well, he's president harris did not elaborate today on whether she would accept a debate between her and former president trump for september 17, proposed now by fox news, the foreign president on a press call with reporters earlier this week, said he wants to debate her, but has not yet agreed to anything. >> he was off the trail today, but did phone in this morning to find fox they say sure you just got hit with a bullet maybe he's changed me nice. >> and i'd love to be nice, but i'm dealing against real garbage and she wasn't prosecutor, but she was a failed prosecutor. she put a lot of people in jail that should have never been there. she put people in jail that were political enemies. she's bad news. she is a radical,

very smart. >> mr. frozen failed to bar exam. >> she couldn't even pass a bar exam. >> so his brutal has said she thought she'd never be able to pass it. this is what we have as our next president oh, keeping them honest, miss harris failed her first time, then passed on her next dry and it's not uncommon to fail. california's bar exam least one state supreme court justice flunked and william clark who went on to be a top adviser in the reagan administration. and the state's republican governor. and the 1990s, pete wilson didn't pass kill his fourth try but back to today, as we said at the top, new polling shows how tight the race now is from the new york times that shows vice president harris up six points from president biden's performance. but still within the margin of error, joining us now cnn, political commentators from across the partisan spectrum, scott jennings, maria cardona, former harris communications director jamal simmons and paul begala jamal, what do you make of how things are going right now? obviously, this is sort of a honeymoon phase. clearly, foreign president trump is honing his attack lines and unleashing them full-on. >> yeah. they're trying to

figure it out and we've seen donald trump in the past go out in public and sort of work these lines with the crowd and see what he gets the response from so we'll see how that shakes out the difference with the harris campaign is they're not waiting around for donald trump to figure out its attack lines are going right at donald trump and talking about his 34 convictions and talking about the problems he's had with being found lying i will fraud and all the other problems for the trump campaign. now, what is interesting to me today as we've seen, the vice president sort of get into her own lane as an adjacent lane and president biden's lane, but it's her own lane. we saw an ad that had a lot more energy in it or campaign launch video with the beyonce we saw her do this event if netanyahu and right after with netanyahu and narrow, she said something that was a little bit different than the president. she said that it's important for israel to defend itself, but it's also important how israel defends itself and talked about the palestinian plight. at the same time, it's talked about the tragedy on october 7, a lot of people will hear that and notice that that is something

that they really wanted to hear from a democratic president. and then lastly, she's also talking about it's not just important to get to do well or to get by economically, but it's important to do better than that. and so she's really leaning in on the work that is left to do for people to get ahead in the country, not just get by. paul. >> i mean, you've worked on a lot of campaigns. what do you make of this one? and it's interesting that it's most of the same people that were on running the biden campaign. and yet the feeling and the energy behind it certainly does seem a lot different in just the space of a couple of days it does and it is because of kamala harris and she brings all this energy and dynamism and by the way, i think that's what dei means, doesn't, it doesn't it mean to dynamic, energetic, and inspirational? >> if that's it, then that's what she is here's the thing i noticed from that clip. talk after she met with the prime minister of israel i've worked for president clinton, who's the greatest political talent

my lifetime, i've worked for obama's reelection. he's a genius politicians make about 75% of mistakes for their campaign in the first 25% of the race. this is why it's not bad that we have these long campaigns in america as a campaign manager because they screw up when they start and then they get their footing and they get better at it. kamala harris has been a presidential candidate this time around for 96 hours she walked into the most vexing complicated, difficult, impossible problem on earth. >> the israeli palestinian problem and she handled it with comfort with command, with i thought she was terrific so that's that's a heck of a trial by fire for a candidate has been running for four days i want to play something the former gop presidential candidate, nikki haley told jake tapper regarding that dei hire attack it's not helpful. look, i mean, we're talking about a liberal senator who literally has not accomplished very much. and what she was just given, she didn't do much with you, don't need to talk about what two looks like or what gender she is to talk

about that the american people are smarter than that do you expect to hear more of that? >> dei hire others racist tropes or sexist remarks i absolutely do. anderson. i don't think republicans, especially under trump and j.d. vance, can help themselves. and i think it's more than just that they were caught flat-footed because of president biden dropping out and vice president kamala harris taking his place as the presidential nominee. i think it has to do with who she is. and frankly, what she looks like. we know donald trump is a racist. we know he's a sexist. we know he's a massage menaced. and so to have that wrapped into this formidable incredibly competent accomplished woman who also happens to be very attractive. i think explodes his mind and explodes the minds of his maga acolytes because they don't

know how to run against her and they are demonstrating that every single day when they make those ridiculous comments. but that's who they are at their core. that is what is in their dna and i think it was i think it also underscores what a dm pick. i think j.d. vance was for their ticket because he exacerbates that, especially when he talks about reproductive women's rights, when he talks about the whole cat lady thing. >> and i don't think that's going away because even though they have to get their caucus together and tell them not to talk about like that to women. >> that is who they are at their core and they're not going to be able to help themselves. >> scott, you've been very clear over the last couple of days that the whole dei hire line is not something as republican. you think? it is smart for them to do that they should stick to the record as you see it of the vice president and certainly joe biden is that something i mean, when you hear trump calling into fox and replaying

basically the insults you used in 2016 and 2020. i mean, nasty going her garbage now, a lunatic. she's going to destroy america isn't that a i mean, isn't this just a replay of everything we've ever heard from him well, i like i'm looking at a video before we went on the air tonight from the campaign and came out two hours ago and it had nothing to do with any of this dei stuff, had nothing to do with race and gender and had everything to do with her record as senator. >> but i'm talking about what your candidate is actually the words that are actually coming out of his mouth. first was not my candidate. i worked here. i don't work for the candidate. second second, look, he is going to have to hone a message. he did get into this record that she has at his last rally and he seems to be familiar with the greatest policy hits of kamala harris. and there's plenty senator, liberal presidential candidate, very liberal. and as a vice president, a failure right alongside joe bide, he knows it. i think he's internalizing it and the campaign certainly

knows what they have to do. if you look at the video products are putting out tonight, he is going to have to stay disciplined on this because it will take them off message and it will hurt them if he doesn't. that's on his shoulders, but it's quite obvious to me the campaign knows that message they have to use. they've got to circulating tonight knesset spec you're going to see it in wide distribution in the days ahead. >> drama, we mentioned former president obama is expected to endorse her soon do you expect him to? >> good does a few big rallies in other democrats have a embarrassment of riches, right now, right? because you've got president obama who's going to come out and endorse her. we've already seen president biden dominate the day with these meetings with yahoo. and then we see vice president harris, who's going to be out in the campaign, showed getting her own attention. while donald trump's kind of sitting by himself in mar-a-lago. i'm not sure what he's doing until he meets with prime minister netanyahu. but you've got two or three people who are out there. i expect you're going to see him do more of this, but

here's the thing about vice president harris. she's got her own lane. president obama was the first person of color to run, but she's got her own lane here. and i think one of the things that i saw when i was with her, she met with labour members all over the country. we're now seeing the labour's international come out and endorser. we saw her at the aft the teachers union today and they've endorsed him. the first union to endorse her. so she's got this real focus on middle-class families, working class families, and how they're going to get ahead in the country. i think that is going to be a very important thing for her but actually moves forward, we're going to continue the conversation a minute coming up next new details on the accelerated process for picking a democratic running mate. and later report on voters and pennsylvania, which may truly live up to the name keystone state for the winning side in november only from simply saying 24-7 lifeguard protection, this exclusive technology allows simply safe agents to help stop crime in real time, stop police are on their way for instant intruder deterrence and faster police response. >> there's no safe, like

available now on the apple app store android and m. taylor.com erin burnett, outfront tomorrow at seven on cnn today on fox, the former president reiterated his full support for his running mate j.d. vance. as for vance's democratic counterpart, no decision on that today from the vice president, but new reporting tonight from cnn's jake jeff zeleny the first big solo decision of kamala harris's new campaign could be less than two weeks away one of the most accelerated vice presidential

searches in modern american history with harris racing to round out our ticket well before the democratic convention opens in chicago on august 19, top contenders hail from some of the biggest battlegrounds, like senator mark kelly of arizona, a former astronaut and navy pilot, governor roy cooper of north carolina, a former attorney general, elected six times statewide, and pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, another former attorney general, who has won statewide three times. >> also on the list transportation secretary pete buttigieg, a 2020 rival, who now cause michigan home minnesota governor tim walz, a veteran and former teacher who served more than a decade in congress and governor andy bashir of kentucky, a rare democrat elected in a deep red state. the search is well underway through private vetting and somewhat public auditions. this is the vice president's 15th trip to the most military and veteran friendly please state in the

country harris has a long relationship with cooper of peaceably praising him just last week in fayetteville, my dear friend, roy cooper all you know, ryan, i served together when i was attorney general and california and he was attorney general north carolina. >> i've known him for it was two decades and he is an extraordinary leader, but the vice president is not tipping her hand to any favorites among the contenders, all of whom rush to endorse her after present since biden stepped aside, we've been friends for 20 years. she's an outstanding vice president, shapiro has drawn even more attention considering pennsylvania is at the heart of any winning white house bid, a point he downplays in choosing a running mate that is a deeply personal decision that should be made free from any political oh, pressure. >> only harris can say how geography, biography, or other personal factors way i'm her decision so help you god. i do actually capitol hill this

week, kelly was not eager to talk about any vice presidential shortlist. again, this is not about the future of this country buttigieg plus. >> so i think anybody would be flattered to be mentioned in that context, no matter what. >> i'm going to be doing, everything in my power to make sure that she's our next president for harris. >> it's all part of her whirlwind. and a bookend moment for you here's after answering the call from biden to be his running mate, you ready to go to work? she's getting ready to make a call of her own jeff zeleny joins us now. >> so any sense of what harris is specifically looking for, a running mate, how much of it is simply the electoral map? >> my anderson talking to a senior adviser, they said that she's looking for someone she's comfortable with, someone who is ready to be president. now, of course the question is, who is that? she's also looking. i'm told for someone who can amplify her record in respond to attacks and perhaps give out attacks to former president donald trump as well. the question russian

of geography, of course, is hanging over all of this. look at where some of these finalists are coming from. arizona, a key swing-state pennsylvania, a swing state, north carolina. they hope to make it a swing state as well. but the deep connection she hasn't a relationships with many of these people also are coming into play. we do know that the former attorney general eric holder is leading this a search there looking through financial records, public statements, family histories, as well. but anderson, i'm told this will end with her doing face-to-face interviews with some of these candidates. the question is, who can she see in this role that she's been playing? for more than three years? >> jeff zeleny. thanks very much. former congresswoman gabby giffords, who is the wife also senator mark kelly just posted on social media about j.d. vance is now well-known remarks about democrats and childless cat ladies. a sentence i never thought i would actually say quoting now vice president at kamala harris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren so am i at captain mark kelly and i were trying to have a baby through ivf before i was shot

and that dream was stolen from us to suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful. we should note that in june of this year, senator vance did join other members of the senate and calling for ivf to remain legal nation wide. back with scott jennings, maria cardona, jamal simmons, and paul begala poll limits are with you because the conventional wisdom is that the vice president would pick a moderate white male politician as her running mate. do you think that will be the case and how much of this is about the electoral map. i mean, obviously pennsylvania is critical arizona, i haven't completely heretical view. anderson i completely heretical view. the map doesn't matter for spit nothing. >> it doesn't deliver anything. >> it never has i was working for president obama's reelection pac and mitt romney picked paul ryan. paul ryan is beloved in wisconsin. wisconsin is a swing state romney not only didn't win wisconsin, he didn't win. paul ryan's congressional district. the

map, it is a myth she needs to picks. i loved zeleny's report. in her aides are saying she can pick someone she's comfortable with, somebody could step in on day one, somebody who could take the fight and the campaign. that's what she needs to do. >> this whole no, i'm serious. >> my test is does my mana look at this and say, oh, well, they would be a good president. they could step in nothing else matters. >> i'm telling you the map is bologna and anybody who buys into the map is blowing smoke up your jamal td set cover bit. >> i ever disagree with paul begala i don't agree. i don't disagree with him about the map being bad, but it can't hurt, right? it can't hurt to have somebody who's found my home state to be able to campaign for me. i think also about some demographic things. the reality is, there is a risk that the first woman of color president might need some help with male voters and having a candidate in the vp slot who can go and talk to those male voters about why he supports her and why he thinks she's the right person lead, especially maybe that person's a veteran, maybe fighter pilot, maybe an astronaut might also be super

helpful. >> is that what you want her to think? >> i think it makes a lot of sense. listen, i have a six-year-old boy, if i told him i was going to meet a governor from north carolina, i don't know if he care if i told him most want to be the captain of a space shuttle. i think he want to go with me. i think that that matters to people maria, i want to play some of the potential democratic vice president candidate. what they've been saying about former president trump's running mate, j.d. vance j.d. >> vance is a phony he's think the problem with j.d. vance is he has no conviction, but i guess it's running mate has 34 people like j.d vance know nothing about small-town america. >> what j.d. >> vance frankly attacks women i hides the fact that he is opposed to reproductive rights, even in cases of rape or incest you know, he's the donald trump mini-me childless, cat, ladies which is utterly ridiculous obnoxious what i really worry about here's what

he would do. be one heartbeat away from the president it is interesting how all the people on the shortland publicly named on the shortlist are now is suddenly appearing on television. >> and would that we haven't seen them often on cable news or something now, very available for interviews because they want to be seen as carriers of the message and in case anyone from the campaign, i guess it's watching how what do you make of paul's point that the electoral map should not be the overriding concern doesn't matter for i think spit. he said i agree with paul, though. everyone is so focused on on the map for democrats because of what was going on when president biden was still there in terms of it, becoming more narrow because of his issues. so i do think that people will take a look at it in that way. i think overall though anderson polls right? but jamal's right to it. the map doesn't really matter because no one has really won or lost a presidential election because of who their vp pick is

and so i think the most important thing here is going to be the chemistry that vice president kamala harris has with whoever she picks as her vice president. and for that person to be able to not just step in in the role on day one but to be able to prosecute the case against trump, against j.d. vance from day one. and we just saw like i felt think a mini trial. right. for all of those folks who could possibly be debating j.d. vance because i do think that the other focus here is also what i mentioned before. i think there's a lot of buyers remorse it's on the other side. and so j.d. vance, i think has become a distraction, which is exactly what you don't want your vp pit to be. >> what's interesting, scott, because initially in advance of j.d. vance, there were a lot of the clips that were being played about him were things he had said about donald trump in his prior life when he thought donald trump was america's hitler which is a quote from him, a phrase he used now,

these clips are surfacing. there's another one that service today from 2021. him talking about childless people. but this time he's saying that their votes should count less than the votes of parents. i want to play this let's give votes to all children in this country. >> but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children. when you go to the polls in this country as parents, you should have more power. you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don't have kids. people will say and i'm sure the atlantic in the washington post and all the usual suspects will criticize me about this in the coming days well, doesn't this mean that non-parents? don't have as much of a voice as parents doesn't this mean that parents get a bigger say at how our democracy functions?

yes, absolutely. >> do you think is this something you know, we just heard that you know, all the potential democratic vp candidates are being vetted by the campaign. do you think this is stuff that was vetted by the trump campaign like, what do you think they were aware of this kind of stuff before? >> i hope so. i mean, i would assume so. i mean, they went through a very long process and looked at a lot of different people. and so i would imagine, yes, obviously trump wound up picking somebody that he was comfortable with and thought vibe with him and mesh with him on his policy agenda. so, you know, i think they take all these things into account and decide whether it's important to them or not. in balance with the things that matter to them. the most, which was i think picking someone young who is pretty good on tv who kind of is a succession plan for donald trump's ideology for the republican party on the democrat side, i think she's actually got some interesting choices out there. if i were in her shoes and i'm not arguing

that he would necessarily automatically deliver pennsylvania. they can't win without pennsylvania. shapiro seems like a talent to me is i agree with paul conceptually that it's no guarantee, but he's talented. he's funny, important state, but most importantly in my mind you have a lot of whispering in the democratic party right now that she should not choose him because he's jewish. heck, you've got some hollering in corners of the democratic party that she shouldn't choose. and because because he's jewish, there are people that think that, that take it couldn't sustain putting a jewish person on there. i think if she chose him and said to all of her people on the far progressive left flank, shut up and get in line. this is what we're doing that would actually impress the hell out of me as a big leadership moment for her so that's what i would do, jim, i'll let me ask you about that. you were shaking your head. >> yeah. i think that's kind of a cheap shot. democrats have been very welcoming of people of all backgrounds mean we're taking a very big leap with the top of the ticket. and obviously the vice president's husband is jewish, so i don't think she has a problem with jewish people the my understanding of those people who have raised that at least

on on air wonder if democratic support for people who are are more on the palestinian side of the conflict in the middle east. and the question that will come up is the positions that people have, not the ethnicity or background that people have. so that's really the question that i think you'll hear from voters, jamal, thanks very much. >> thanks, everyone speaking pennsylvania or john king with a new all over the map report from there next glasses by one parent at what works i'm just telling yeah, everyone by one pair get one free for back-to-school. >> vision works. see the difference deliveries happened ordered that this happens. sachs now that happened. >> he get out of there to back the pitch all that's happened, be there with ring, learn more at rnc rnc.com. nothing dems my life like a migraine with

swap out a candidate in the middle of the game this game ends in a draw. nobody, nobody wins in a visitor brings up another big change. show, of. hands. if you think harris can win pennsylvania so you're more optimistic now than you were with president biden leading the ticket there's a head shake. >> know, tell me why. >> no, i don't think a lot of men will vote for harris i just don't. whether you're democrat, republican, whatever, i just don't think the majority of men are ready for a female president, at least three hands went up pretty quickly. >> so you have more energy and enthusiasm campaign. >> my god, yes one more time show of hands. who wants to see them debate oh, yeah suddenly democrats like retiree and mahjong instructor darrell ann murphy are bursting with energy suddenly they see at least a chance to win battleground

pennsylvania keep donald trump out of the white house. >> i don't even like to hear the word trump, but he called the monster at the same table five months ago, three of the 4,000 president biden was up to the job and they called criticism of his age unfair, but they began to see things that worried them. >> biden's debate, debacle left no doubt from an experience, i know how quickly things can go downhill when you are an older person now a new challenge, you know, she's, she's at the perfect age. she's committed, she's vigorous and i overwhelmingly the women i talked to, our let's go let's go. >> civil rights activist marvin boy are organized the black history display at this museum in downtown east and the debate changed his mind to, and in harris, boyer sees what was missing and biden, you have to be aggressive because he's coming after you and i think she's up to the challenge in

that regard. >> the winner here in north hampton county tends to be the winner statewide every vote matters. >> it also reenergizes, say, strong constituency of the democratic party meeting black females so i think it's a good thing in that regard. >> you think america is ready to elect to a woman of color, its president. >> you're still racism massage, funniness, country and two thousand 24. no question. >> will can we overcome it with this election enough that she can be elected? >> i hope so. >> geology professor lawrence malinconico changed his mind after the debate to his wife donated to harris as soon as the news broke, and malinconico believe students will be much more energized now there is an acceptable choice now, when before i think there was real skepticism about the viability of president biden for another four years, thinks he can win pennsylvania i hope so. >> i think part of it will

depend on her choice of vice president you take the country's ready for that. >> a woman of color as president, i i hope so. i'm a little nervous about that. >> are you looking forward to harris debating? trump? absolutely. why? >> i'm hoping should just eat him alive. >> pat levin became politically active in the 1940s during fdr's third term so no, i've never seen anything like this she's just a few weeks from 95 performance, not age. >> is levene's test and she sadly came to see president biden, couldn't pass it anymore. >> i love him. i think he's has been just wonderful but he is definitely impair in terms of his thinking, in terms of his presentation, in terms of his energy simple advice for harris, get into this, into those swing states and show her enthusiasm and are salman in her strength and be able to communicate strong and one defining issue, if anyone seeks her wisdom it's democracy,

it's are actually, this might be our last free and fair election. >> if we don't win it, we cannot afford to lose this is selection. putting american people through it. >> a big twist at crunch time in what for pat levin will be presidential vote number 19 john, i'm not going to ask you as though i want to about your pilates and how you did. >> but what does the data say about whether harris can recreate biden's combination? winning combination pennsylvania and the and the other blue wall states as so fascinating question. we don't have good enough data yet. we need to let this settle in and get there. but let me walk through the challenge. this is northampton county where we were biden won it by just over 1,200 votes last time, but not to win the commonwealth of pennsylvania. and of course, anderson went on to win the blue wall states. well, how did that happen? one recipe of biden's win. look at this for excuse me for turning my back. is that he did better among white men than hillary clinton did. this is clinton in pennsylvania in 2016, 32% biden at 37%. that's the big difference in north hampton county across pennsylvania and in michigan and wisconsin as

well again, the reason biden won look at the same numbers in the national exit poll, 2016 and 2020, clinton, 31% of white men nationally, biden 38%. can harris get close to this, or will she be closer to that? if she can't get close to this, can she increase? black turnout? could you get a higher share of women, particularly in the suburbs that's the challenge the harris campaign is going through as they look at yes, the encouraging early data anderson, but it's going to take a week, ten days, maybe even until after the democratic convention to have a solid sense of where her strengths are and where she has to work on weaknesses. if that's one of them nationally, another poll today showed harris performing better than biden, obviously, not a complete picture. what about 30 candidates, right? >> i want to be adamant about this, that this needs to be included in the conversation just like it was in 2016, we have a lot of people looking at these head-to-head harris versus trump that's not the race. that's not the race out in america in 2016, we had a lot of clinton versus trump. clinton lead all the national polls. did she, when she did not, she won the popular vote, but she did not. this is something we need to look at. this map is a little crude, but look, robert kennedy, the

libertarian party in the green party, they haven't officially chosen their candidate yet those party, so we just have the party label that's on their on the ballot. those three in michigan, at least the libertarians in the greens in wisconsin, kennedy in minnesota. you get the picture. this is north carolina. this is, this is georgia down here, out here in the western battlegrounds. the third party candidates will be on the ballot. why do i want to bring attention to that? because look at 20:16 right? hillary clinton get 48% of the vote nationally, she won the popular vote, but she lost in these states, she lost in michigan wisconsin, elsewhere. look, trump's share was about the same in both elections. it was the third party candidates the cost hillary clinton the election. we cannot forget them going forward, the head-to-head matchup. she'll harris doing better. that's energized and the democrats, but it's more complicated than that. >> yeah, john king, thanks. up next maryland's democratic governor and harris campaign co-chair wes moore joins me to talk about the dei attacks on harris and what we he expects to see over the next few months

this is cnn with less than a month until the democratic national convention, a little over 100 days until the election, the upcoming weeks are crucial for vice president harris and her campaign just before air, i spoke with democratic governor maryland wes moore, who also serves as a campaign co-chair governor moore, it's obviously been an enthusiastic few days for vice president harris. what specifically do you think she needs to do in the days ahead to sustain the excitement that she has already and ensure it's not as david axelrod and others have warned about a political sugar high yeah, i think she needs to do what she's doing now, which is continuing to share her vision i think that for a lot of people, they understand the threat that donald trump and now j.d. vance oppose. they understand the fact that we have a campaign on the other side that is fueled on division and frankly pretty odd and disturbing ideas about everything from women's

reproductive health to the role of women in our society to how they think about american isolationism. we know that on that side. but the thing that she has got to do and the thing that she will do is show her vision for the future because elections are not one on fear elections are won on hope. election, elections are won on vision elections are won on the future and so as she continues to go out there and share her vision with the rest of the country. i believe that's going to be the necessary ingredients in order to win in november, you recently tweeted a photo of you and vice president harris. and with that foreign president trump's about to find out that being president is black job in quotes that was in reference to a claim he made during the june debate that migrants were taking away what he called black jobs there have been already a number of racist sexist attacks from some republicans calling the vice president a dei hire do you think that this is just the

beginning of those? >> yeah. >> i think some of the comments that we've heard about the vice presence so far have been remarkably disturbing. and also pretty telling and the fact that you had a speaker of the house who had to go back and tell a caucus that, hey, everybody, you know, don't make racist comments should say a lot i also think it becomes really important for people to know that they cannot be distracted by the foolishness that some of the comments that we have heard, we're going to make sure we push back on them where they be racist or sexist comments. but also the thing that we know is this, the thing that the vice president going to focus our time on is doing the work. they think the vice presents going to focus her time on is making sure that we can build an america where everybody has seen and everybody is supported that thing that she's going to focus her time on is making sure that our policies reflect the protection of freedoms and the protection of our future in the way that they should. and so it has been disturbing seeing some of the comments

that have that have been made about her and made about so many people in these positions where i was called a dei governor from people. but the way that i addressed it was starved of oxygen because when you start ignorance of oxygen ignorance dies. just do the work there was this talk during the republican convention before donald trump actually spoke, that he had. >> somehow fundamentally changed after having a near-death experience. i do want to play something that the former president said about vice president harris at his campaign rally just yesterday kamala harris has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single biden catastrophe she is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country lyin kamala is also a total radical on a word called him you know this right a word called what abortion she is a threat to democracy, a true threat democracy. you've

been terrible at everything. you've done. your ultra-liberal that we don't want you here. we don't want you anywhere. >> kamala, you have fired, get out of here. i mean, beyond the mispronouncing the name intentionally, which is, you know an old trick of his and many others what does this say to you that i mean, it is this is like a video from four years ago, essentially, it's the same rhetoric, it's the same language literally. he's called her nasty already several times. but i think twice yesterday i think what's what's really dangerous? >> it's it doesn't sound like a video from four years ago. it sounds like a video from 40 years ago the level of divisiveness and backwards looking ideology that he continues to introduce into the public discourse is incredibly troubling. and i think it also is important to show that distinct difference between these two it's sad to hear

that this is going to be the line of attack that he has to do. and in the way that i think we need to defend it, and the way we need to protect against it is by making sure the energy stays high and that we win decisively in november governor wes moore, thanks for your time thank you still ahead. an integral yet often overlooked part of most presidential campaigns. >> the music we choose freedom randi kaye looks at how various tunes have helped shaped campaigns over the years the freedom not just to get by but getting university of maryland global campus is a school for real life, one that values as successes you've already achieved, earn up to 90 undergraduate credits for relit experience and get the support you need from your first day to graduation day and beyond. >> what will your next access pay, introducing new advil targeted relief, the only topical pain reliever for powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact to target tough pain

available now on the apple app store, android and m. taylor.com the lead with jake tapper tomorrow it for cnn as you mentioned, the top of the broadcast, a vice president harris released her first campaign video featuring a familiar tune from one of the world's biggest music stars, beyonce we choose freedom

beyonce song freedom, the background. harris also walked out. that song during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters monday. beyonce hasn't officially endorsed harris. she did give them harris campaign permission to use the song. but harris is far from the first candidate to use music to try and help shape their campaign. randi kaye has more than one of the best known political campaign song homes of all time, tippecanoe and tyler to the 18, 40 hits saying the praises of whig party candidates, william henry harrison and his running mate john tyler. >> the song reference the site of harrison's 18, 11 battle between his indiana militia and native americans for years, candidates used folk songs and show tunes before that gave way to the popular music of today. all of its setting, the tone for a campaign. in 1960, frank sinatra changed the lyrics of

one of his hits songs, high hopes tailoring it to john f kennedy, the democratic candidate for president this was michael dukakis at the 1988 democratic national convention, with a little help from artists neil diamond by 1992, bill clinton leaned on a hit song from 1977. don't stop thinking about tomorrow by fleetwood mac. and turned it into his anthem for barak obama's campaigns, it always came back to stevie wonder and for mitt romney. >> so i'm happy to introduce a senate detroit, a friend. a guy

who makes great music who introduces me by bye, dvd everywhere i go, kid rock, kid rocks 2010, hit born free was his go-to song in 2012 in 2016, rachel platens, pop anthem, fight song became the unofficial anthem of hillary clinton's campaign in 2020, then president elect joe biden's celebrated with coldplay's sky full of stars after he was declared the winner on november 7, and that his inauguration, katy perry more recently, president biden had been using tom petty's i won't back down for years,

former president donald trump favorite songs the village people until a cease and desist letter from the band put an end to that. trump's preferred entrance song, lee greenwood god bless the usa and at the rnc convention last week, this was kid rock warming up the crowd and anderson over the years, a long list of artists have sent donald trump's cease and desist letters after he was using their music, the estate of tom petty after the artist's passed away, sent a letter to the trump campaign saying tom petty would never want a song used for a campaign of hate. the same goes for the

artist prince. he also got a letter from the estate for prints saying please stop using the music and more interesting, anderson is what happened in 2018, pharell williams sent a letter to the trump campaign saying stop using the music because his hit song, happy had been used just hours at a campaign event, just hours after nearly 12 people have been gunned down at a pittsburgh synagogue. so there's a history of this with donald trump anderson, randi kaye. >> thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn outfront next, kamala harris demanding israel reach a deal to release the hostages the vice president choosing to speak from the white house, seizing on her momentum, getting a boost today from some new poll numbers. >> is this a honeymoon or is this the real deal? so breaking a wake-up call, new reporting from inside trump's team about how they were caught flat-footed by biden dropping out. and now scrambling to get back on track. it's the backlash building over jd vance's childless cat ladies comments. as trump maintains,
