wednesday, august 7, right now on cnn this morning hi from a relative unknown to commonly harris is running mate tim walz gets his warm welcome on the campaign trail plus my view on it is it just highlights how radical kamala harris is the gop waste, no time rolling out their attack lines against kamala harris is pick and tim walz he's a great man how josh shapiro, when the odds-on favorite to falling short in the race to be harris, his

choice for vice president all right? >> in five a.m. here in washington alive. look at capitol hill on this wednesday morning. i believe it's wednesdays. wednesday, yes. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us the message from minnesota governor tim walz. let's win this thing after vice president, the current vice president harris chose him to be her running mate in front of a raucous crowd in philadelphia yeah. minnesota governor walz stepped onto the national stage alongside harris. this the first of many appearances to come to. his fellow veterans. he is sergeant major walz to his former high school students. he was mr. wall and to his former high school football players, he was coach and 91 days by another name

vice president of the united states. here was how walz introduced himself and he is largely unknown to voters the minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make even if we wouldn't make the same choice. pushed for ourselves. there's a golden rule. mind your own business harris and walz planning a battleground state blitz over the next week at reminder, just three months until election day joining us now, catherine lucey, white house reporter for the wall street journal and sabrina rodriguez. >> she has national political reporter for the washington post. welcome to you both. catherine lucey, let me start with you. i was in the room in philadelphia last night. the energy was unlike anything i felt in years, really probably

a decade at for a democratic event and this is the crunch time here is just insane, quite frankly, here was what tim walz had to say about how the next three months are going to go for this ticket. watch so we got 91 days. >> my god, that's easy we'll sleep when we're dead we'll sleep when we're dead but probably the right approach here, as they kind of sprint to the finish line. what did you see in this rollout last night for harris and walz? >> but one obviously, as you said, was the energy i was at the atlanta rally last week. i haven't seen democrats this excited and this joyful. i think it was the same in philadelphia. people were dancing, people were happy, people were excited and they have managed to keep that

momentum going. so this feels like part of that, right pushing forward. but there was a really strong message from harris about the kind of person that she thought while it was you know, she really leaned into coach walz. i've heard that she likes the comparison to coach taylor on friday night, lights, and so she clearly is sort of introducing him for that i reported and i thought, yeah, like, you know, maybe my crush on coach taylor he's like a start wearing shorts in a board, but i get it. >> he's going to be coach walz to america, really wants to reduce him as america's dad. he's from the heartland. he is a hunter. he's a former football coach. she really leaned into the idea and the idea that he could inspire shut-eye inspired his students. and so i think that's that's certainly the message she wants to send. republicans are aggressively trying to frame this as a really liberal choice and lean into the policy. but she was really making a personal argument, i think last yeah. >> sabrina one of the places where we have seen walz

contrast with josh shapiro who has kind of a suburban back ground, right. is that he actually comes from rural america. he highlighted that he was born in nebraska. he was raised on a family farm and he wore in the video that he where he was taking the call from kamala harris, the asked to get this job. he's wearing a camouflage hat and the harris campaign very quickly you can see it there very quickly turned that into campaign merchandise that seemed to sell out pretty quickly if you were looking at the social media feeds from harris staffers, they had to race to get more of these hats, they say harris-walz on them. their camouflage this is a different appeal to some of the voters that quite frankly democrats have lost in recent cycles to donald trump. what do you make of how they sold his biography in this way?

>> i mean, there's no question that going into this that was part of the calculation and selecting tim walz as her running mate. i mean, he offers something very different on the ticket, then kamala harris does no question. i mean, her from being a prosecutor to california democrat, i mean, having him on the ticket offer something specifically for the middle-class american in the rust belt for the working class white man this is sort of like an area of big focus for them. i mean, we know that the finalists were overwhelmingly white men. but specifically when we look at tim walz, i mean, it is the quintessential midwestern dad and that hat, for example, we met is not like i got oh, he was just strategically wearing that to resonate with people when that announcement was made. i mean, we've consistently seen him at events and speaking with that typical outfit and not to leave

too much on that. but i think that's just a representation of who he is and how he's going to be engaging with voters. he is coming to it. the fun fact i keep mentioning is the fact that he's the first democratic vice presidential candidate on the ticket to not be a lawyer. the first time since 1964, 60 years? i think there's no way of that not being part of the calculus here. i mean, his background as a teacher, his background as a football coach. it's really that bringing home that point that he's going to be able to connect with people in a way that maybe the traditional profile of a politician in washington can't. >> yeah, well catherine lucey, i don't know. i know you worked in the midwest time. how much do you know about hot dish? >> oh, i have some hot dish recipes. >> tim walz keeps winning hot dish contests, apparently, i think we have a picture. i asked i admit my family's from michigan. yeah, we never did hot dish but this is also something that you know, when

they say there's some folksy charm. >> this is it is, it is a nod to the middle of the country. i mean, hot dishes. i mean for people it's a, it's a capitalist. tell us please it's i'm from minnesota, but it's particularly big minnesota. it is a casserole dish, often layered a bunch of stuff into it. i've arrest me for one more. you sprinkle ritz crackers on the top. often they involve tater tots. this seems to involve tutor no grounds. >> sure. >> yes. one package and we have brought hottest two neighbors when things happen and that's the kind of thing that midwesterners do. >> they're going to lean into all of this. >> the idea that he is from a town of several thousand people. >> he went to state schools. he grew up in a narrative jenny, you grounds finding a lot of package tater tots i didn't eat a lot of food like this on the campaign trail, i will say when i was covering romney's campaign, but it is different than what you were eating in san francisco. and i think they want that profile here, right?

there's it's been a very long time since you've, it's not the no so hot catherine lucey, sabrina rodriguez. thank you very much for starting us off this morning. i really appreciate your time. >> all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, hamas taps a new leader after the assassination of the previous political chief, plus what went into the vice president's decision to pass over. josh shapiro to be her running mate. and both campaigns pressed to define the other in this brand new presidential campaign with tim walz. now on the democratic ticket. >> at morgan stanley, old school hard work. meets bowl, new thinking i hope you see untapped possibilities and relentlessly work with you to make them real their back verizon small business days are

believed to be the mastermind of the october 7 hamas attack against israel. it is not clear how his appointment will impact gaza ceasefire talks, but secretary of state antony blinken says the fate of those negotiations isn't sinwar's hands it is really on him to decide whether to move forward with a ceasefire that manifestly will help so many palestinians in desperate need. >> this is the moment, this is the decisive moment. the negotiations have reached their final stage blinken says the u.s. >> has communicated directly to israel that no one should escalate this conflict, even as israelis brace for retaliation from iran, cnn's max foster joins us live now from london. max, good morning to you sinwar, of course, is considered to be one of the most extreme hardline members of hamas. and especially considering his role in the october 7 attacks is believed role. what kind of signal does

this send? >> one is significant. if you imagine that hernia was head of the political wing of hamas. so overseeing the negotiations in qatar and egypt with israel over a peace deal? and also of course, the united states as well. he's now gone, obviously assassinated in iran. sinwar is a guy on the ground, is the military boss and anything that haniah agreed had to go through sinwar so a core leadership, perhaps many people would argue that sinwar was always running things because he's running the midriff on the ground, which of course allegedly also includes that attack in israel, which horrified the world what we have now is a situation where sinwar is both a political head and the military head. so he's consolidated power. he's more extreme. he's more hard line than hernia. so the negotiations become more hard line. the big question of course, is what that means for the negotiations. how can

israel negotiate with someone who they directly blame for the october 7 attacks the negotiators will be harder as well because he's more hard line. the other question will he want to negotiate with israel? so a huge question mark over what this does to the peace deal. and whatever anyone thinks of haniah, he was easier to operate a work where according to many diplomats around the world, than sinwar will be, will ever be. and also sinwar's obviously hiding out with a wary, here's how did you get messages through to him? >> what i was going to say max, i mean, i feel like you and i throughout the course of covering the war talked about how it was often difficult logistically to get information in and out to this guy because he was always moving, he was always hiding. they were going to great lengths to make sure his communications were pretty basic and not using technology so that he couldn't be found. i mean, how does that impact every thank well, from what we understand it a lot of these

big decisions are made face-to-face, not necessarily directly between the key players, but the message gets passed on face-to-face because as you say, all the communications can be compromised and, you know, sinwar is now target number one for israel. >> they're going to be all over any sort of communications he might be having so it's going to be we just don't know where he is is even in gaza assumption is that he's in tunnels somewhere. some people suggesting it could be under egypt without them knowing, with them knowing who knows, it's just a complete mystery, but it slows everything down if they're dealing with him as opposed to someone based in qatar as haniah was, who had a relationship with qatari's, there was a much clearer line of communication. it makes everything much more complicated, more difficult, and more intransigent probably. >> all right. max foster for us this morning, max, always grateful to have you. thank you so much alright. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning, another member the squad in the house, ousted

direction once that system finally begins to move inland, but the potential for heavy rainfall is there you look at how much rain has already fallen. areas south of tampa around sarasota northern florida. and they base around the lake city area. and in the portion between charleston and savannah, all of those areas have picked up we 15 to 20 inches of rain. so far. and now we're going to be adding even more rain on top of it. this is a look at some of those heavier bands really starting to slide into north and south carolina. but we've also i had some very heavy rain across the northeast and more rain is continuing for some of those areas. and unfortunately, kasie, even after getting several inches just in the last 24 hours all right. >> lots to look out for allison chinchar for us this morning. allison, thank you very much all right. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning you know it, you feel it these guys are creepy and yes, just weird as hell. tim walz as the attack dog for kamala harris josh shapiro, electrifying hometown philadelphia crowd last night

exaggerated how is walz viewed in the state of minnesota well, it's one of those situations where more than one thing can be true, right and how liberal someone is might be in the ifd be beholder, as you mentioned, you know, we've got an introduction to walz last night. >> this coach walz as vice president harris called him midwestern former teacher high school football defensive coach, gun owner, who didn't enter politics into his 40s represented a purple district in congress salt of the earth, midwestern uncle vibes. that's the tim walz, the harris campaign is going to try to put forward as they try to reach, as you mentioned, those blue wall voters and connect with more moderate swaps of rural america. since being elected governor and particularly since democrats, one full control here in minnesota, he has passed and signed a long list of progressive priorities issues on democrats wish list paid family leave, legal marijuana driver's license for undocumented immigrants. those

same things that made him a favorite of the left flank in this veep stakes contest will become a lines of attacks for republicans. this fall daniel strauss, there was a lot of conversation ahead of this pick about the chemistry between these two people, between kamala harris and tim walz about why she selected him. >> and i actually spoke to cedric richmond, who was a co-chair if former, biden adviser, but he was one of the last people in this room. it's very close-knit circle that new kind of how this decision was being made and i asked him last night about what tim walz aspires to be, whether he wants to be president or not, and what role that may or may not have played in harris deciding to select him as her vice presidential running mate. let's watch that. we'll talk about it. take a look she wanted someone who would always put the american people first. >> she wanted someone who understood the role of the vice

president of the united states, and she wanted someone she had chemistry with governor walz fit that mode and he expressed that he didn't have ambition to be president he expressed that he didn't have ambition to be president when you make it that i mean he said that in an interview to be potentially the vice president as the sitting chair of the dga, which supposition a lot of governors usually have prior to running for president. but he, he had a very, very low national profile prior to a grassroots burst of energy elevating him into contention to be harris running mate and that really does underscore an argument that maybe he wasn't overly ambitious just at least on the surface, but same time, you know, all of these governors, all the senators, they all look, mirren want to be president one day. it seems clear that he had at least the way that he handled his interview with harris in this regard was reassuring to her? >> yeah. i mean, in the clip you played there are a lot of the usual cliches you hear when

a presidential ticket picks up vice presidential nominee. but the one unique word in there was chemistry. that is not a word you usually and i think that clearly was the deciding factor for harris tory one of the things that they of course have focused on with walz is this sort of a folksy charm? >> i'm in his appeal in the midwest, but i will say he also has had a couple of attacks against the trump ticket that have resonated online in many ways, in a way that you might not associate with a midwestern dad necessarily. he had this line about calling that the trump-vance ticket weird which he used again last night and then he actually he went there. this also kind of an extremely online a thing. it's a reference to something that is not true about j.d. vance but watch this joke that he told

and just kind of look at how he how he nods to it. just watch it and i got to tell you. >> i can't wait to debate the guy that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up don't forget that. >> see what i did there so he was clearly acknowledging what was going on here. were you i was kind of surprised he went there. i'm not going to lie especially in this big debut yeah my mouth dropped but i think he knows what the role is and i will say, you know, governor walz is 60-years-old. he's a six-year-old man from minnesota, but he does have a 20 something daughter and her young 20s and a teenage son. so he knows what's on tiktok. that's something he's it says here to us. what he's seeing, what the kids are saying on tiktok, and he does have a sense of humor as you saw from that attack line. and that's sort of off the cuff vibe is

something we've seen a lot here in person in minnesota very interesting. >> all right, daniel strauss, tory von. thank you both very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate it. >> all right. coming up next, why kamala harris didn't choose pennsylvania governor josh shapiro as her vp pick plus another gold medal for team usa in paris with more olympic highlights coming up on bleacher report i just works for us makes it last contrast so you can rise from paying i see with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, my skin was no longer mine. >> my active psoriatic arthritis join symptoms held me back don't let symptoms define you emerge as you with trump via most people saw 90% clear skin at for months. and the majority stayed clearer at five

working my tail off to make sure we make kamala harris and tim walz the next leaders. >> all right. joining me now, axios publisher nicholas johnston, and congressional reporter for the hill, mychael schnell. good morning to both of you. >> nic johnson, let me start with you. we had a little a little conversation at this table earlier this week zero, it was wall i had thought it was going to be shapiro and then late in the game, it's sort of switched. >> and here we are with walls at the top of the ticket republicans have been seizing on this. you had people like, i mean, kellyanne conway tweeted that she basically was relieved for republicans that trump supporters should be relieved that the pick was walls and not josh shapiro because she pure would have been a threat there's also been some attacks against democrats and their

views toward israel. i want to show you a little bit of what j.d. vance had to say in the wake of all this, let's watch that we know that josh shapiro, in particular was attacked mercilessly from the far-left for being jewish for not being anti-israel enough. >> and of course, he ran away from his own positions. but the fact that you're letting anti-semites within the democratic party drives so much of the conversation and so much for the decision making for kamala harris, who does kamala harris answer to? does she answer to the american people or does she answer to the far left her own party at one point, there was also a reference to hamas what, what do you make of this criticism and publicans have been trying to figure out a way to attack this new democratic ticket. >> i we've struggled they don't have a nickname for kamala harris yet. i don't think on truth, social, and so a new line of attack now is this one anti-semitism. i think that's a little bit of a bridge too far it's kamala harris's husband is jewish the

secretary of state is jewish. fair members of the cabinet who were jewish. but i think it does speak to limit that we talked about on monday. there was dissent in the ranks over josh shapiro is and what the positions he's taken where he sat in the party that groundswell of support in the grassroots online over the weekend that i think you're a better did a better job of picking at to see that. and what that led to tim walz and i think that republicans had to have a sense that, that you mentioned earlier about the mood one republican told us at axios that this was the republicans, they feel like this is the first break they've gotten in three weeks. they feel they have an in here. there's a little bit of a change in the momentum because of that. but i think the harris campaign on the flip side didn't want all that dissension, didn't want to have a fight with the democratic party about their pick. am i kind of think the coolest thing i saw yesterday, i think that captures that aoc again, senator manchin are on board with tim walz. you have the two of them in agreement. okay. the democratic party is onboard for that. let's fight with the republicans and senate. >> well, and i think you saw some of that i also think there was a little bit of a vibe shift to use the parlance. everybody using between when this was announced in the morning and when you saw tim

walz a take the stage as democrats really leaned into that kind of rural background, right? kind of saw some one brings to the table mychael schnell, i will say josh shapiro himself took this on the questions about his faith and what that means in the context of the choice here, pretty directly last night, i mean, you could tell this speech was first of all, a very powerful one. i mean, the crowd was so excited to hear from him. but this moment stood out, not just for the content, but the way it was delivered straight to camera, where he clearly had a plan to address his his jewish faith in the context of the decision that kamala harris made. let's watch that moment and we'll talk about another side. >> i lean on my family and i lean on my thing which calls me to serve and i am proud of my

hear me i'm not here to preach each all, but i wanted to tell you what my faith teaches me. my faith teaches me that no one no one is required to complete the task, but neither are we free to refrain from it? that means that means that each of us has a responsibility to get off the sidelines, to get in the game, and to do our part. are you ready to do your so michael, at one point where he said there i'm not going to preach to you the crowd actually started yelling at him, preach preach which i also thought was a very interesting response to him in that moment when you make of it yeah. i mean, look, show much of josh shapiro's kennedy c4 vice president, especially in the final moments of the veepstakes contention, focused on his jewish heritage and his judaism

and there was that effort from folks on the far left who tried to mount this pressure campaign against him, up taking issue with his staff and on the israel-hamas war and his peers pro israel bonafides meanwhile, his stances on the war were pretty similar to the other vice presidential contenders. i spoke to a number of jewish democrats who pushed back on this saying that he was receiving that increased scrutiny. just because of his jewish faith, saying that the focus he was receiving was anti-semitic in nature. so i think josh shapiro using this moment on the national stage to push back on those sentiments and to say that despite what happened, he's a very proud jewish individual. let's also look at this in the context of the current moment we're living in there's ranch been anti-semitism throughout the country right now. it's at historic highs after the october 7 attack from hamas on israel josh shapiro, showing in no uncertain terms that he is proud to be jewish and also potentially tamping down, trying to tamp down on some of these republican attacks. i spoke to speaker johnson

yesterday, new york city, who told me that he believed that shapiro was overlooked because of his jewish heritage shapiro right there him back on some of those gop attacks and suggesting, hey, it wasn't because i am jewish, this administration is not antisymmetric. it was for other reasons. so a really important moment there. and again, on the national stage talking about is his, his faith as a jewish individual nick johnston mean one of the other things that i think really stood out to me both in watching shapiro's demeanor and the way that he took the stage. >> in addition to the reporting about how he handled the interview with kamala harris, where he was asking questions about what what would he be able to do as vice president and kind of outlined in the things he did want to do. two it seems pretty clear to me that he's wasn't really interested in being somebody else you know, keep an eye on his fellow. >> we might be talking about him again in the future when there's been a little bit of reporting about what that dynamic is like. remember, like what is the role of the vice

president that was that kind of partnership. you don't want someone let me overshadowed. i think there's a lot of reporting that came out, even some of up by axios about what is the vibe that the two candidates had. and maybe kamala harris and tim walz, i think that together a lot better, like clicked a little more in that conversation with shapiro, didn't go as well. i think shapiro folks knew it and even called afterwards to say like, you know, maybe we should think about this as well. look on one level like the harris campaign is looking at this thing get the best of both worlds. you've got the walls on the ticket which is a unifying candidate. and josh shapiro is still very excited and happy on stage to campaign all over pennsylvania. and if things don't work out well look for him in iowa, maybe in about 18 months. >> yeah. i think if if if donald trump is real elected president again, i can. yes. >> one to watch. >> okay. nick johnson, mychael schnell. thank you, guys both very much. for joining us all right. >> time now for the olympics where american sprinter gabby thomas dominates in the 200 meters, cruising to the gold medal. amanda davis joins us
