so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. -right, bruce? jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. get a free unlimited line for a year when you add one unlimited line. plus, get a new google pixel 9 on us. bring on the good stuff. together. that's what usually did for me. >> i'm melissa bell in paris and this is cnn you see it right there at the stage is now set here in chicago, were less than 24 hours away from the opening of the 20 24 democratic national convention. thanks so much for joining us for our cnn special coverage. i'm jessica dean here in chicago, vice president comma here. harris is
3:01 pm
ascension to the top of the ticket, making this a dramatically different convention from what we were all anticipating, just even a month ago. let's take a look at this week's scheduled opening night will now feature the man many thought would be accepting the nomination on thursday, president joe biden, former president barack obama, headlining tuesday night on wednesday, we'll see governor tim walz deliberate vice presidential acceptance speech. >> all building took thursday night when harris will accept the democratic nomination for president. >> a party that was struggling to gain any momentum will be going into this convention with a wind at their backs, the new washington post, abc news, ipsos poll out this morning showing harris up four points and ahead head matchup with donald trump that is outside the margin of error or cnn's jeff zeleny is joining us now and jeff are looking at live pictures of the vice president with her husband, tim walz false and his wife. they are in pennsylvania on this bus tour as they go through that critical battleground state just outside of pittsburgh. again, jeff zeleny joining us
3:02 pm
now, and jeff there on the bus tour looking to thursday, of course, when she's going to accept this nomination and they've got some momentum that we're seeing bear out in new polling. >> they certainly do. and it looks like the vice president is getting a bag of doritos. well, when he gets like, oh, wow, what yesterday to, get, sheets because they're in pittsburgh or outside of pittsburgh. so you would know you obviously are a veteran of pennsylvania reporting. and my guess is if she to the sheet, she will go to a wah-wah later. that's what they do. you have to just speaking of the doritos there, i'm just thinking back two earlier this week, she said when donald trump was elected she was bingeing doritos sitting on a couch watching that. so that's certainly an interesting trajectory. should we listen? i'm not sure if she is speaking king there or not, i guess just buying snacks well, keep an ear out and when she said she starts talking, we'll listen for sure, but again, like these moments, these kind of just stops is there on this bus tour as they try to really humanize her and make her personal right. and making her way here obviously, western pennsylvania, so
3:03 pm
critical. >> and really that is part of the blue wall that president biden obviously one that for years earlier went to donald trump. >> but as she makes her way here, chicago, we were looking at those polls earlier the national polls certainly are more in the vice president's favor than they have been within the margin of error. >> but if you look at the cnn poll of polls, that is also very interesting. >> this is an average of all the polls and that shows her with just a slight edge about 50% to 48% or so. but let's look back to these swing state polls. when we talked to delegates here, this is what they're focused on north carolina now is a central battleground. >> she is incredible. it was before and i was spending some time there just a couple of days ago and it's clear that it is because donald trump is focused on i.t. >> spending millions there and also arizona and georgia those were effectively out of reach for democrats with president biden on the top of the ticket, georgia is the only one where former president donald trump is in the lead. there. so the bottom line to this, it's a new race. it's a new day and now
3:04 pm
she has a campaign ahead of her that she has to win. i mean, there's no sense of over-confidence. i think there is a sense of excitement here, but at the end of this week, they're really trying to fill in some of the gaps around who she is. you think we know kamala harris, but she's not that well known about her life story. so that's what this convention is about. >> it is interesting because in that polling she more than donald trump and this isn't surprising. he's very well-defined. americans have a very solid opinion of him one way or the other. >> she is less so and so it is an opportunity for democrats, it's also an opportunity still for republicans, without a doubt in some republicans are sort of frustrated that donald trump has been talking about everything, but trying to define her and has a month gotten away come november, i think we will look at the last month really, from the republican convention until now at whichever happens as how they defined her or missed the opportunity. >> but i think the bottom line from this convention as well change elections are winning elections. so she is a change candidate but to the degree to
3:05 pm
which she's able to show change and embrace the biden administration duration record as she needs, but also make this not a referendum on that. this is a choice election, so she is also going to be laying out a stark contrast with the former president. we got a hint of it in her economic speech on friday in north carolina, and she was really shining a brighter light on the trump tax policies so we've seen up until date, shining a brighter light on what his inflationary policies on some respects would do. so i think there'll be a little bit more substance of this convention as well. >> all right, it's going to be fascinating to see jeff zeleny. thank you so much for being here. we shade it and i want to bring in patti solis doyle now she was hillary clinton campaign manager in 2008, also worked with the obama campaign and then vice president joe biden, she joins us now in chicago petty, it's great to have you here to be here. thanks oh, you have had a front row seat to so many campaigns and so many democratic campaigns. and conventions for
3:06 pm
that matter. this goes without saying as we just laid out kind of a wild time for all of these reasons, this last month has been incredibly tumultuous up and down and all around. so we know that vague that in but how do you think this convention in this moment in time for democrats? that's compares to previous cycles. >> well, first of all, for all the wildness and the ups and downs in the last month of the most unprecedent events, seismic events that have been going on it's still going to function as what most convection conventions function as one is sort of the rah, rah, the whoop, whoop, unite your base, give them revved up, make sure that they're ready to go knock on doors and make phone calls and vote and all of that stuff. and then also a sort of defining narrative of who your nominee is. and i think that's the two functions of this campaign still you know, when harris really clinched the nomination 24 hours after joe
3:07 pm
biden withdrew, there was going to be a race between the trump campaign and the head harris campaign as to who could define her first. >> because whoever could do that really i think would have had a leg up in the general election. and it turns out that the trump campaign is really sort of stuff. embolden, haven't been able to zero in. >> and harris really has. >> she's put herself as the change candidate, someone who is looking towards the future. >> and i think that's what we're going to see as her defining narrative this week. >> and we're going to hear from president joe biden, i want to ask you about that in a minute, but first, we're going to hear from secretary of state hillary clinton, the former secretary of state of course, the first woman that democrats nominated for president, vice president harris will be the second. i'm curious as someone who played a role in a lot of that what kind of impact do you think clinton's candidacy is having on harris's and how maybe even the american people are kind of metabolizing that as well?
3:08 pm
>> that's such a great question because i think monday night is yes, about passing the torch. but it's also about hearing from the two people who allowed terrorist to be where she is the nominee of this party because if it weren't for hillary clinton, both in 08, the race that i ran and in 2016 teen, i don't think we would see harris is the nominee today back in 2020, we had more women running for president than ever before we had heard harris, we had warren, we had klobuchar, we had gillibrand, and we've never seen that before and that's all. thanks to hillary clinton. she took a lot of incoming an oh, you did a lot lot of incoming in 2016. but the end result while she's not president, which breaks my heart, of course, the end result is that she's made it easier for women. it's yes, it's still extraordinary that kamala harris may be our first woman president, but it's a little less extraordinary to see her up there. and i think that's a big thing. >> and then for biden and also
3:09 pm
was it not for biden-harris would not be here so i think it's interesting that they put them both on the same night. they can both sort of speak to passing the torch to her. >> yeah. and he has said and we mentioned the band is practicing and then you can hear it a little bit, but we have had this reporting that joe biden is the word that our reporting uses is still smarting from being pushed to the side and, you know, in his view, but that is he's also focused on his legacy now, focused on on harris what do you it's obviously tomorrow night will be very positive from him, but i would think it would likely be very legacy-based. it's going to be looking at what he is accomplished and then passing that all is that what you expect to that's exactly what i expect to joe biden's also a former boss of mine, by the way. >> and he deserves that. >> i'm being 50 years of public service. that's an incredible career. and his presidency you know very
3:10 pm
impactful, generational impact tags on this country whether it's the infrastructure bill, the chips spill, or the ira, these are going to have long lasting impacts for us, for our children, for our grandchildren and that's quite a legacy. and 50 years ago he became a u.s. senator and i hope he takes a nice long time to take a victory lap because it's an incredible career. he spent his entire adult life serving this country and it's something to be proud of. at the same time though, he needs to really credential eyes kamala harris i picked her i picked her for this reason. and now you're lucky to have her alright. >> we will we will look to see what he says tomorrow night. parties least oil. thank you so much our special live coverage from the dnc continues here in chicago up next we're going to be joined by our panel and get their takes on these new poll numbers. >> and if they think momentum is going to continue cnn is

3:16 pm
>> i'm so delighted to have all of you here because there's a lot but yuan kate bedingfield, let's start first with you because the first day of the convention tomorrow president biden is the keynote speaker. >> all eyes on the man who, up until about a month ago, we thought would be accepting this nomination. i think we can expect to hear about his legacy and then also why he believes kamala harris is right. you've worked you worked with him for years? years. what do you think is going through his mind as he prepares for this? >> i imagined that he views this as an opportunity to sort of one more time, talk to the country about the reasons why he ran in the first place. there are some really kind of bedrock themes that have run through, ran through his campaign in 2019 and 2020 that really motivated him to get an office that i think he would say or maybe even more relevant than ever in this election, things about protecting our democracy. what kind of country do we want to be? what is, what does their future look like? so i think he views this as a significant moment to not only kind of underscore and crystallized some of the things
3:17 pm
that he was able to accomplish in his four years as president, which is certainly important to him as you would imagine, but also to really hand the baton to vice president harris and say, you know, we can we can ensure that this legacy will continue, that the things that we want to make progress on in this country, we're going to keep making progress on. if we elect terror in november. so i think there will be i would imagine there'll be equal parts talking about what he's done to make life better for people, but also really handing the baton to her kind of credentialing her underscoring why she's the right choice. and really making this a transitional moment. >> and so much about this convention as it always is. but i think especially in this unique environment in which we found, found ourselves with this snap election will be about kamala harris introducing herself to so many americans astead herndon, i know you've done a lot of reporting on all of this how do you think based on all of that, what are the messages they're trying to get across to americans who know who she is. obviously the vice president, but maybe don't really no her backstory, don't
3:18 pm
really know her personally. >> yeah. i think we're going to get an introduction a reintroduction to kamala harris. >> she obviously there was an opportunity for years ago when she was running for president. the last changed from then to now. and i think she has the party behind her and the way that will tell a story both personally. and i think politically, i think they'll build on the biden administration's accomplishments record that there proud of, but i think there's over all the question of what does a kamala harris democratic party look if that's any different than the joe biden's democratic party. are we talking about really asking voters to give biden a second term with a different person at the top? or are there different legislative priorities? i think we can see some of those even in her speeches, the economic speeches was a little more populist and i think some folks expected, i think think her emphasis on abortion rights in embracing the language of freedom that will be more kind of top of mind, i think in the harris version of this dnc than the biden one was. but i do think we going to see a continuation of messages. and so maybe the presidential race four years ago ended in that disappointment. i think maybe left a bad taste in some folks mouth, but she's done a lot the work from then to now to
3:19 pm
really grow as a politician. and i think we're going to see that on the stage and audie cornish is with us as well. and audie we've got some new polling today that's really giving us a look at kind of the underbelly of this race. if you dig and beyond those top line numbers, a couple of things that, that stuck out to me in the abc ipsos poll independent. >> but if we step back for a second yeah, because we were at the rnc. yeah, please. god, shift you know, like at that convention delegates had a lot of confidence. we were talking about this in the hallway. it really felt like a little bit of cruise control, a little bit of like, well, look at us where ahead this is great. they were also exalting trump himself, his posture throughout his entire convention was literally sitting down and back while everyone filed to the stage and talked about the great things he would do for this country. so the whole thing wasn't pep rally, which is what a lot of times conventions can be creating an atmosphere that it says, come join us. this is a party and we want you to join us. and it's interesting
3:20 pm
because democrats are in this moment where they feel like they've launched a party, right between the means, the energy that this, the, that we're going to see the kind of convention that people will start to compare to the brock obama years, et cetera. simply because of the high amount of energy xi and the sense that people feel like they still have a chance to make their pitch to the country, right? where's all these same people month ago we're like, it was like a sad trombone being played over and over. it is in maybe not always you see what it was should add trombone. i would not a lot but i was mentioning those polls and shermichael, you really see a swing and independent voters, really key women, female voters are really driving this voters of color, where she's really making tremendous inroads with them and pulling away those voters who maybe were either waffling or with the trump campaign how does the trump
3:21 pm
campaign begin to blunt that? >> when they have a messenger that seems focused on a lot of personal attacks know a guy, i think the campaign is going to try to focus on getting the former president back on message. you're seeing that bringing and then people like corey lewandowsky and others from the 2016 race where the president's heart appear to be in wanting to win, then i think you will also see republicans say that to astead's point, this is a continuation of joe biden's failed policies, which are not very popular on to significant fronts, immigration and the economic front the vice president gave a speech which a lot of democrats and progressives lauded as a great speech in terms of her plans on the economy. but our very own reporting showed that it would increase spending by $1.7 trillion over eight to ten years. how can the american people pay for that? the washington post editorial board called it gimmicks and so i think republicans still have an opportunity to continue to contrast all though it's going to be more difficult, i'll give credit to the vice president.
3:22 pm
this is historic moment for her. i'm proud of her. i congratulate her on what i believe will be a successful week. but on the issues of policies i think the republican party and conservatives, generally speaking, still have the advantage and a polling suggests that we still have the advantage despite 28 weeks of incredible coverage of the vice president. this race, distinctively speaking, is still tied. and that says something to the strength of the former president. i think there's one thing i would say though, i would really dispute and in what she said, shermichael which is actually a lot of the economic policies that biden and harris enacted that you i think we'll see harris running on if you pull them away from joe biden, whose popularity was lagging and park cars, people concerns about his age. >> they actually are popular. they are popular with bipartisan audiences, things like capping the cost of insulin. i mean, there's a lot of work that biden was able to do that what vice president harris now has an opportunity to do is take some of these economic policies more populist economic policies that are broadly popular and put her own
3:23 pm
imprint on them and talk about them in her own voice message them in her own way, which i think we started to see her do last friday when she was laying out her kind of economic vision, and i would imagine you'll hear her do this week as well. so i think there is an opening and an opportunity for her on the economy, in part because people don't hold, don't view her time in the white house with the same frustration or suspicion, fair or unfair? obviously, i would say unfair, but that they do when those policies are being advanced by president biden, who was suffering because of unpopularity with issues around his age, kate raise obviously very factual points in terms of captain cost of insulin, et cetera, that is broadly popular among republicans, democrats, independents. i'll see that point from the vice president says that she's going to cap the cost of certain goods where the federal government is going to now control costs as of, as if man, and supply is no longer matters. supply and demand rather doesn't matter. so now we're entering into socialist
3:24 pm
economic type policies that i don't think most americans would want. how does the federal government, jessica decide what the cost of a good shift? be today compared to tomorrow. how does the federal government decide how much of that good should actually be in the marketplace. but again, republicans have the opportunity to challenge democrats and the vice president on a incredibly flawed economic position. >> want to let audie answered, go to break, but very quick because now we're talking about literally how do you craft a message and in a way, it turns the tables. so instead of joe biden having to talk about the gdp ppi and this number of being that number. now it's going to be republicans talking about basically talking economic theory when voters want to talk about costs, as soon as you have to do that explanation about goods to the government of reaching like if economists were the ones who are going to vote, joe biden probably wouldn't have left the race because there's certain data that would make him feel good. but what's going to be interesting is her messaging is directed at people in layman's it's terms and does not involve spitting out a body in
3:25 pm
their forget any of those real 8:00, 3.5 socialism or and-a-half years most of them life pay out to lose. >> talking about it, but thank you all for being here. i wish we had more time. i really, really do special coverage from the dnc in chicago continues just ahead, i'm going to be joined here by senator chris coons the harris-walz national co-chair. when we come back this fall comedy is coming to cnn. >> what could go wrong i got news for you we are. saturday, september 14th at nine on cnn morgan stanley is partnering with the women's tennis association to remove who foundries because this game is for everyone life, diabetes.

3:30 pm
almost done. i mean, there's some little tweaks and i'm going to work on it probably starting tomorrow much of what you've probably heard me talk about before in terms of just what i believe to be the promise of america. >> and the fact that we're all in there's obviously a lot at stake, but there's also a lot to feel good about in terms of the future of our country. so they will be a lot that is about what i believe is a way a new way forward and bringing everyone along in that policy sure well i mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around the child tax credit and extending it that it said $6,000 for the first year of a child's life, the return on an investment in terms of what
3:31 pm
that will do. >> and when it will be tremendous we've seen it when we did it. the first-year of our administration reduced three. we just chop habosi over 50%. so that's a lot of the work. and then what we're doing in terms of the tax credit we know that there's a great return on investment and when we freeze home ownership in america what that means in terms of increasing the tax base, not too much your property tax base, what that does on schools. again, return on investment. i think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you met sure the return when you were strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening communities, and in particular the economy, those communities and investment in a broad-based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for itself in that way he has used as a new poll shows that your three points up nationally what's your response to this usda? >> consider yourself very much considered the underdog. we have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the american people that's why we're on this bus tour today. and we're

gonna be traveling country as we've been and talking with folks, listening to folks, and hopefully earning their phones over the next 79 days it's one more thing, isn't you became the democratic nominee. >> do you look around me, go here i feel like we need to earn everyone's and that means being on the road, being in communities where people are, where they live, whether it be a high school football team and being there at their public school while they're there at practice in talking to their coaches weather it means going to the local fire station and talking with our incredible firefighters about what they need, what they have a right to expect, such as that we are going to pay attention to how they give up so much to keep communities safe, what they do to preserve what we want in terms of quality of life and we need to give it back to them in terms of better equipment and the work they do every day. >> so i'm going to be out here with tim with second gentleman with ms walls, and we're gonna
3:33 pm
be working on earning every vote between now and november do you think is really prime minister netanyahu is ready to agree to a ceasefire deal i will not speak for him but i will tell you that these conversations are ongoing and we are not giving up and we are going to continue to work very hard on we got to get a ceasefire and we got to get this you were listening there to vice president kamala harris as she campaigns in the battleground state of pennsylvania, the democratic nominee on a bus tour through the commonwealth along with her running mate tim walz, who you saw there, and their spouses. >> this as she gears up up to take the spotlight here in chicago at the democratic national convention. and that's where we are right now along with democratic senator chris coons of delaware, senator, wonderful to have you here with us. we have made it to sunday, a big week ahead. of course, you have known president biden for many, many
3:34 pm
years. you're considered one of his closest allies, one of his most effective emissaries he's going to speak tomorrow night at a convention until up to a month ago, we thought he was going to accept your nomination it's an interesting position to be in. what do you think this moment means to him? what is he thinking through as he gets ready for this moment? >> this is an incredibly important moment for joe biden. for joe biden for our democracy, for the campaign of vice president harris and governor walz to be our next president. and vice president i talked to are president last monday, he was optimistic. he was looking forward. he was excited about the prospects of the campaign, as there has been energy nationwide, new volunteers, new donors, great coverage, big crowds look, it was a hard decision. it was hard for him to decide to step aside, but it was an act of selflessness an act that recognized that in the end, as a public servant for more than 50 years, joe biden has always been about others about putting the country before himself. and
3:35 pm
he is perfectly clear that beating donald trump and defending our democracy is the most important thing that he could contribute, going forward. there's lots more than he and jill are going to do. they're going to work on the cancer moonshot. they're going to work on women's health issues. they're going to work on veterans families and education. but tomorrow night, you're going to hear a proud joe biden reflecting on what he and vice president harris have accomplished. and optimistic joe biden, who believes in the united states and in our democracy and frankly, somebody who loves to campaign and is going to get the crowd fired up about his trusted and loyal vice president kamala harris. >> he does like a crowd. he does is someone who covered him in 2020, we spent a lot of time waiting for him to work the rope line we have new reporting from the new york times about biden's dynamic with former house speaker nancy pelosi they write, quote, the two have not spoken since he made the difficult decision to step aside. there are multiple reports that mr. biden is angry with her. it is not clear when they will speak again, a painful reality that ms pelosi admits keeps her up at night.
3:36 pm
do you know if they've spoken do you know what can you say about that relationship? >> i don't know if they've spoken, but look, they've served together. they've been friend and literally for decades. and so all of us have been through hard moments are hard decisions in our lives. initially, it may be tough, but you've come around and i've spoken to our president repeatedly over the last couple of weeks. he's looking forward when i last spoke to him, he was excited about the cancer moonshot event that he was about to do this coming week, he was excited to campaign with kamala harris. at the end of the day, he knows this was for the best. and what he's going to share with us on the stage tomorrow night is just how proud he is of what he and kamala harris got done pulling us out of the depths of the pandemic, moving is forward from january 6 rebuilding our country. he's got a stronger record as a one-term president than most two-term presidents. and that's something i think he can and should be proud of. and speaker pelosi was a key part of a lot of what he got
3:37 pm
done and a lot of the future of our party yes. >> so much, if any big decision, obviously, this being a very, very big one, not whether or not to run for president is about processing. i would imagine he's been on a journey as a friend of his processing yes. >> yeah. >> i think that makes sense i also want to talk to you about these new polls that we're seeing today? yes in the cbs poll 64% of voters say they know what kamala stand is. kamala harris stands for compared to 86% for donald trump she's still undefined for a lot of americans who know her as vice president harris, but maybe don't know her, right? it's an opportunity this week for democrats, a huge opportunity. there's also an opportunity for republicans. how do you see that playing out? >> so first, what you're going to hear from joe biden is just how central kamala harris was to a lot of the work that they did together on the world stage. and at home most americans aren't aware that the more than 200 judges that we were able to confirm under
3:38 pm
the biden-harris administration. the most important ones all happened because of camilla's votes the prescription drug price cuts that they just celebrated this past week vice president harris was the deciding vote. so there'll be some looking back at how she's contributed and participated in grown. then there's gonna be some looking forward the most important choice any person running for president makes is they're running mate? tim walz is going to help give the american people a view into why she chose a sergeant a coach, a congressman, a governor, a dad, a midwesterner, someone who is a patriot, someone who is a person with a heart for the middle-class, just like camilla's. and then the last night vice president harris it's going to lay out her vision for our country. and i think we'll hear a pretty sharp difference between donald trump, who yes, is very well-defined and kamala harris, joe biden is optimistic about the american people and so is kamala harris. she's going to draw a sharp and clear contrast with the record of former
3:39 pm
president trump and layout positive and optimistic path forward for how she and governor walz are going to make our country better, safer, and stronger. >> and there were a lot of positive signs within various demographics, kind of deeper in some of those full she's doing really well with women, young women in particular voters of color you're seeing even young men. she's independent voters however, harris, in terms of older voters aged 65 and older, trump is still winning that demographic 57 to harris, his 43%. and i hear you talk about the prescription drugs saving nothing insulin cap. older voters, more than the concrete progress boris, they've made zero alto ella quiz. >> all that we hear every light on the national news with ad after ad, after ad, they're coming down 50%, 70% in cost. >> you're going to hear a lot about that as she's connecting with older voters and what about quickly we don't have a ton of time left, but this gender gap that we're seeing and what do you make of that?
3:40 pm
because what we're seeing is, as i mentioned, women really shifting toward harris, men shifting toward trump. >> yep, white reproductive freedom is on the ballot, both literally and figuratively, there are statewide referenda in a number of key battleground states and whether or not the country is going to shift further and further to the right, distrusting women's, taking away the opportunity to choose ivf, taking away the access to contraception, continuing to take away reproductive freedom. that is a core issue in this campaign. and kamala harris will speak directly and forcefully to that. at the same time, they're running mates. tell you a lot about how these two candidates view masculinity and gender without digging too deep into that topic, i'll just say that i'm very comfortable with governor tim walz as a husband, father veteran, and coach, and i think he will full support kamala harris and show together a very positive vision for the future of our country. >> will you be with the president tomorrow? yeah, surely. >> all right. senator chris coons. thank you. thanks so much.

3:46 pm
vice president harris, taking questions, we played the clip just a little bit ago. >> it's something she's been criticized for not talking to the media enough. she's doing it a little bit more on this bus tour. you rightly note, we should take note of where she is, western pennsylvania this is where bill clinton win on his bus tour right after the 90s, you convention. >> it's just striking to me that no matter what else changes in politics states like virginia and colorado go from red to blue ohio and florida go from purple to red, different demographic groups move we end up in the same place as the tipping point of elections. michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin once again, are at the absolute tipping point of this election. and she is running surprisingly well holding biden's support by enlarge among older and blue collar whites. and in the kind of places where she is today. and if she can do that all the way to the finish line, no guarantee. she'll be very tough to beat it is fascinating to see her really embracing this role, because again, it's only been a month. yeah. and she's there are still building
3:47 pm
this plane as it takes off, but we're going to see her on this stage as a fully formed candidate, a really different kamala harris than we saw in that primary and tab so a very different just over the last few you're weeks i'm much more confident candidate, much steadier much more secure, and her instincts about where to go. >> you know, also, the one important part about this convention is she doesn't necessarily have to focus on making a case against hiring trump's the double-haters existed because there was not a majority of the country that wanted to reelect biden and there was not a majority that wanted to put trump back in the white house. >> her principal task is to introduce himself to voters in a way that causes those who are uneasy about trump to say, yeah i can envision her as commander in chief. i could envision her as president. she will keep me safe. she is one of us. the phrase i hear most from people working on planning the convention. she's just like you, they talk about her work

at mcdonald's as you said, it's like it looks like a man from hope clinton, paul begala, our colleague, his great line that he wrote for bill clinton in 92. i still believe in a place called hope the last line of his convention speech, i think the mcdonald's is the same kind of thing. what clinton was able to do was convinced people that he would defend the middle-class because he was a product of the middle-class. and i think artem arguments that she's too soft on the border and crime to keep you safe. >> just like you and xi can keep you safe, i think are the principal things they have to achieve this week, it is going to be really interesting to watch it all play out. it is lovely to have you here in person. >> thank you. >> we're gonna have much more from chicago, including a look at the security situation outside when we come back somewhere means millions flocked to america because national parks, but nature can turn disastrous when tourists has crossed the line. >> she started by my left leg,

3:55 pm
obviously, a big inconvenience for many of the people who are living here. but that's something that the city has had to deal with as well and explain to residents and businesses around here what this massive security presence it's going to be like it and it certainly is massive because it stretches everywhere you go around this area, you could see this fencing here and just up here is where the there's a checkpoint here for some of the cars that are going to be driving through. but all along the street here, there are these fencing, there's checkpoints everywhere you go. there's chicago pd there is also secret service asked to the perimeter. and who's going to be overseeing that? secret service is in charge of everything inside and outside of the united center. but the protests that is going to be managed by the chicago police who had been training for this day hey, and they say they're prepared and tomorrow around noon, we should start seeing the beginning of those protesters. the large number of protesters gathering here yeah,
