democratic national convention tonight, seven on cnn, and streaming on max it's monday, august 19, right now on cnn this morning, the democratic national convention begins in chicago, where kamala harris will accept her party's nomination for president we are still the party of hope if only we dare hope president biden set to attend his 13th dnc tonight, where he will pass the torch

she's a truly radical left lunatic donald trump continuing to attack kamala harris as the vice president's sees a boost in the polls all right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in chicago, 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. a live look at the united center. it's home to the democratic national convention. throughout this week. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us in just hours. the democratic national convention begins on this stage right behind me. you can really feel the enthusiasm for vice president kamala harris already building in this town. you could see it in o'hare when people were landing here at the airport, democrats basically here to party harris herself though, wrapping up a bus tour heading into the convention with a message to her party. watch polls show that your

three points up nationally what's your response to this? you still consider yourself the underdog here. >> very much consider us 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. >> don't forget to work for it. she says national polling continuing to trend in harris's direction, a new survey from cbs news showing harris beating trump by three points nationally. the two in a dead even tie in the battleground states that will decide the election tonight, harris will watch from inside the arena as president biden and his wife, jill biden, addressed the delegates, his historic decision to leave the race, giving harris this chance and up ending the race in a way that has clearly thrown donald trump, who is still struggling with how to take her on time magazine does it have a picture of him? >> they have this unbelievable artists drawing her, but i say that i am much better looking than her. i think i'm i'm a

better look in person then kamala they said no, her biggest advantages that she's a beautiful woman. i'd gone i never thought that i'm better look in that she is joining us now to discuss kate bedingfield, cnn political commentator, former biden white house communications director bakari sellers, cnn political commentator, former south carolina democratic state representative, shermichael singleton, republican strategist, cnn political commentator and mark mckinnon, former adviser to george w bush and john mccain. >> and of course the creator of the circus on showtime. welcome to all of you. thank you guys for being here on this first day. mark mckinnon, i've got to start with you because of course what trump was reacting to their it's very specific example in a broader universe of just how people are dealing with kamala harris right now, the excitement here here he was technically responding to a peggy noonan column that was at

the beginning of august where noonan says she is beautiful. you can't take a bad picture of her, her beauty plus the social warmth that all who have known over the years speak of combines to produce radiants. and it's foolish to believe that this doesn't matter, but it really kind of put it's the this race into sharp relief it's the greatest and latest example of just how unprepared he has to deal with with kamala harris and peggy noonan, by the way, who's reagan speech writer and a terrific column has had another great line about what's happening here. >> and when she said it's not so much that kamala harris created a movement there's a movement created her to me that i think that really captures what's going on, which is there's this burst of pent up enthusiasm that's been going on for the last eight years really since trump came on the scene and by the way, i think this is going to be a night when or a week when kamala harris sustain not only on year-old also shoulders, but also on hillary clinton's shoulders. and again, that's part of that pent

up. >> all those hillary people who thought they're going to win eight years ago, we're going to be just blowing up right? >> well, and to that point, kate, i mean, we are going to see hillary clinton, joe biden on stage tonight in a real, it's another contrast, quite candidly with republicans. yeah absolutely. and i agree with mark, but i also think you have to be the person who's ready to absorb and take it on and take on the mantle. and i wouldn't take that away from kamala harris is i think she has risen to this moment in a way that has been maybe historically successful. so yeah, i mean, i tonight you're going to see some of the elder statesman and the kind of pillars the democratic party a dramatic contrast with where the republican party is right now, which is the majority of people who have served under donald trump not willing to endorse him. i mean, you have a republican party that is fractured, that is reeling. you have donald trump making argument about who's more attractive because if there's one thing that a swing voter in pennsylvania really cares out, it's is donald trump more attractive? and kamala harris, that's what that's like, keeping them up at night while

their while they're grappling with who to vote for it doesn't have me peggy noonan goes on to say it does matter so many in this male dominated profession have taken to botox fillers, derma abrasions, and on cosmetic things is what you're out because they're in a cosmetic profession that said it. >> okay. that's fair. and absolutely it is. it is a performance focused industry platform and kamala harris is beautiful. she is beautiful, but i just think it goes to the fact that donald trump has not found a way a substantive way to get at her. he's on his backfoot, republicans on their backfoot and you're going to see a really united democratic party this week on the substance bakari or to the extent that that is that is something that his campaign is trying to push their reaction to her economic plan on friday. and this was an area where i will say people i have talked to on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged like there's some questions here. she put she did that economic speech. now, the way that republicans attack drone that was the killer, a communist they put up this graphic, which i think we can show, we should underscore it's a.i. generated, it's not real kamala harris does not

identify as a communist and that's what trump was out calling her also in wilkes-barre on saturday. let's take a look at that and we'll talk to bakari about it. >> we are going to defeat a comment kamala harris, camila went full communist. you heard that she went full communist. she wants to destroy our country. her father, a marxist. he was a marxist it's what her father taught her from a young girl growing up so of course this is the trump version of, i mean, if, if trump were to be listening to republicans and hidden his party, who say he should attack her on policy. >> i suppose this is a version of it. do you think it gets any traction? >> i'm not sure there's any republican that actually has good common sense that is saying that is the way to attack kamala harris. is that if you have chris lacivita and susie wiles, what and jason and

all of the other people around her who kept him very disciplined for the first four or five months of this race. they would probably say tie her or is close to joe biden as you possibly can talk about the same policies, et cetera. this isn't it comrade camila is not a name that is going to stick. >> it seems as if he's trying to just throw whatever against the wall. >> but donald trump has this unique inability to dial in whenever he's in the face of a black woman. it's almost weird to see whether or not it's abby phillip whether or not it's april ryan or whether or not as commonly harris he short-circuits and it's it's fascinating when you watch it. and one of the things that he's having a lot of trouble with is figuring now, anyway, to attack kamala harris any way whatsoever, because what we're seeing is that this is not going to work next week is going to be something else. next week is going to be something else and september 10 is going to come soon enough when they had to stand toe to toe on the debate stage. >> sure. michael, can you weigh in on what his point here?

>> i mean, look, i think there are some ways to distinguish the conservative the message and the foreign president's record from the vice president and that is on the economic front i mean, if you look at the polling data, if you are to believe the numbers that we have many americans would say that at least during the first two years of trump's presidency, they did feel more financially secure. there are still some issues i would argue with within the democratic party, which is why you're seeing so many protesters here protesting, calling for a ceasefire. what occurs, kasie, if that doesn't happen, particularly in a state like michigan where there's a strong muslim population, where there are a lot of young democratic voters where this is a principal concern for the release and the top five or top ten issues. and so while i would like the former president to get back to the message of economy, foreign policy immigration. i do think republicans writ large are going to look at this and say, there are areas where most people would say they're not happy with the past three-and-a-half years, vice

president harris has been with joe biden along the step. nothing has improved. that should be the message the american people. >> so speaking of the democratic divisions are fissures. marc maureen dowd over the weekend, that kind of set out loud what democrats say, listen i'll tell you that, but let's okay. this is what maureen dowd rights, but we're ahead. we had to chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance exploitation, excitement, and even you might say ecstasy. it's going to be a glorious coronation except that everybody is mad at each other. top democrats are bristling with resentments, even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the united center in the windy city. a coterie of powerful democrats maneuver behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race. and it is true that there is some real anger in the joe biden camp that is currently being suppressed. but it's there and he's going to be here tonight on a stage. >> i mean, i just loved the plethora of agitators the court

felt like i was studying is at ms doubt. i don't know. look, the fact is that that's not accurate. i think what you're going to see tonight are a lot of thank you. joe's we're going to see his staff feel very warm about the fact that this man gave 405060 years of his life and he's going to get a coronation tonight on this stage. he's going to have the woman who he loves the most beside him and dr. jill and he's going to have somebody who he has a great deal of respect for and what mrs. doubt, misses is if she actually spoke to any of us are had an inroad to anybody who knows what's going on. is that he looks at kamala harris with this great love and admiration because of commonly harris is love, respect, and relationship with beau biden a lot of what he sees in camila he sees through the prism of beau. so we're going to see that tonight. and i just think that it's going to be so much euphoria. and i think i think whatever dissension people may believe exist is going to be tampered. >> i mean, i totally agree with this and i will tell you

somebody as somebody worked for joe biden for a long time, if there is one thing that he puts above all outs. well, first it's family, but then secondly, it's service and it's the idea of service. and if he's feeling any frustration about what happened over the last month i can tell you that it's something he will keep private, that he will talk to his own family about, that he will not in any way allow to roll out and in fact, and disrupt this moment we're democrats have come together in a really unprecedented way, was and that's going to disappear completely tonight. >> i mean, this will be the gold watch moment. i mean, his legacy could have been one of two things. it was possibly that the guy to beat trump reelected trump or that he is the guy responsible for handing off the baton to the next generation of leadership in the democratic party. and possibly win the election so it's going to be a coronation for, for joe biden and kamala harris. >> it's a real legacy moment in many ways, 100 for him. i mean, i will say shermichael. i mean, i've talked to people, people are willing to say out loud that if if harris goes on to lose the election to trump,

that also is going to reflect poorly on joe biden. >> oh, absolutely. i mean, i think some democrats would probably say, man, we probably should have kept joe in despite his issues. >> i mean, look i don't know. >> i would say this again. i'll go back to the issue of men. yes, women are energized because of the reproductive issue but you cannot win this election, would just women only yeah, the vice president has increased her margins with hispanic voters writ large. she's still behind, i think about seven points. she's around 77% were black voters. she needs to be at 90 or above in order to win as a democrat, democrats in order to win the electoral college need, i believe two to three billion more votes. i mean, these are real numbers despite this energy that we're seeing, i congratulated, give my democratic friends, i congratulate vice president harris, but the numbers are with the numbers will be those things haven't necessarily changed no. >> i mean, the blessing is that you're running against donald trump and donald trump forever has a very high floor and a low ceiling. i mean, he's a 46% candidate i mean, you're the

reason donald trump got elected in 20 20 2016 is because of a young lady named jill stein. i mean, we all know that and so i agree with katelyn. i mean, i excuse me. i agree with you michael, and i think that one of the things that come right now having me off kilter what i was saying is i agree with shermichael and i agree with camila because i want people to understand what you just said. >> democrat, she's still an underdog. >> absolutely. >> like i don't know why i said that off the top were still underdogs in this race. i mean, you're still running against somebody who has won a national election before. and kamala harris says has not had success on this level before. so she's still an underdog. we just have the wind at our sales. is it going to be enough november 5, i'm not sure, but here's it's a really interesting quote. this is from about a month ago and it is the following. i don't think joe biden has a ton of advantages, but i do think democrats do you

know who that was you? >> i do. susie wiles in the atlantic before so she's admitting that the democrats have a lot of inherent built-in advantages that joe biden didn't have because of his age, bremmer. >> well, i'm we're seeing that in just the lineup here. right? that so many all of the former president's are here. that is not something that happened at trump's republican convention as euphoric as it was for republicans, say for 11 is safe. >> i mean, i wish we could have had george w bush that that would have been great march to see that for president there, ivan, i know that that's unlikely here i forget we know why my guys have become overlook case. i will say quickly, i do expect this to be a great week for democrats, and i do expect potentially for them for the vice president to see another maybe four or 5% bump after this. so i do do you think republicans have to take this very serious she's a different candidate. this has superseded policies in some ways, it's a cultural thing, it's a movement and it is

difficult to message against something like that. and i think that's why you've sort of seen the former president struggle a little bit. >> she's also receiving the blessing of circumstance because what's happening right now? relation is easing border crossing numbers are going down violent crime is going down. and so like it's, it's the timing of it could not happen at a better time. i mean, you rather be on the downslope of those numbers than those numbers rising. now, do i know shermichael's about the dive in and say, are people feeling it ex-wife? izy? >> were in chicago where crime is still a problem, but chicago where the migrant issue has caused the city one case was chicago. but the point but the point that i'm trying to make here, if i'm a conservative and democrats are to make this lofty argument that their policy and their, and their ideas are going to work generally speaking well, here's a great city that we're in and some of those policies are not working very well. and these are certainly not the policies that i would like to see all across america i think that compressed schedule, if

commonly, we're going to look back and say what a huge advantage of this turned out too, because look what's happening just in a few weeks. >> i've always said that in a presidential campaign, the three really big times when you can move the dial or your announcement your vp pick, and the convention and the debates. and she's doing that all within a four-week period and she said, i think i also think what this freedom message yes, absolutely. >> a lot of the economic circumstances are in this moment moving in her direction, but she has also tapped into, remember this kind of this fear and anxiety that people have about trump and the republicans in a post-dobbs world in particular, obviously reproductive rights, it's kind of the most illustrative example of that salient? yes. thank you but but but she also give her and her campaign some credit that they have kind of i think kind of put their finger on this zeitgeist of what people are anxious about, about trump. and so she's been able to sort of harness this energy in a way that i think she could have misstep, but it hasn't but

the race is still incredibly close despite all those things, 30 days of incredible coverage. and despite donald trump's sort of meandering all over the place some issues. there is still obvious, obviously some strength of the former president to luiz where we are equally divided country. >> yes, yes. partisanship is so calcified. >> and yes, you could not, you cannot look at the head-to-head in battleground states and say this is not a coin toss race, it is, but you also to what we've been discussing, you also can't look under the hood at where some of the key constituencies that need to rally for kamala harris are and say, there isn't a little bit more work to do. and this is a very close race. >> i think it was amazing is that over the last year, trump was indicted, convicted. there was assassination attempts, and now he's grumpy fair enough. >> all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning. kamala harris rolls out her pitch on the economy to try to tame inflation, drawing praise from democrats and some ridicule from the gop plus hillary clinton, the first

woman to win a major party presidential nomination takes the stage tonight to voice her support for fellow trailblazer kamala harris plus donald trump and j.d. vance hit the trail this weekend, critical swing states to try to counter program the dnc and continue their offense against the harris campaign under kamala harris and crooked joe biden, the american dream was dead at it is dead. it's dead as a doornail, they'll never bring it back unless we win if we win, we're going to have the american dream cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee me and her running mate fellow cnn for complete coverage, the democratic national convention tonight seven on cnn, and streaming on facts beth wants to get back to eating the food she loves. >> so she's been thinking about getting dental implants, but the cost seems like it's out of her budget. had clear

beautiful all right, the panel is back. kate, and i got to say when your opponent is saying you're your your plank, you're about policy platform sounds really politically great. and it's sort of like sarcastically touting the things that you're doing, you're probably starting from a position of strength. let's just call it what it is so you know, i think there's gonna be really interesting needle that i imagine that kamala harris is going to try to thread on the economy. i know there's been a lot of discussion in michigan, a distance herself from biden i think what's interesting here is if you look at some of the key things that the biden administration was able to get done on the economy. we always go to you know, capping insulin because that's a very tangible and capping the cost of insulin, i should say that's a very tangible thing that makes a difference in people's lives those are really popular policies and so i think the thing that kamala harris can do here, the opportunity she has is to take some of these policies that we're that have broad, bipartisan support that are kind of populist aimed at

making people's lives better and talk about them in. her voice, put her put her framing on it and so to me it's less about sprinting away from some of the economic policy proposals of the vitamin station or accomplishments i should say, the biden administration and more about her using this moment to do this in her voice, which i think is what we've seen so far. i think it's what we saw on friday and i would imagine it's what we'll see more of this week. so to me, the question is not quite she going to sprint away from the thing she was able to do in the white house. and more a question of how she going to talk about some of these things without the anchor will just call it that of joe biden's personal un-pop flaherty as a result of his age around her neck. where do you think that separation is? >> well, two things. one is i loved it when donald trump criticized harris saying elect harris and everyone's going to get health care exactly when

part of her proposal that came out with that republican response has been price controls. nixon and i thought, well, maybe this is an opening, but then i also just saw some data. and again to your point, the political power of the argument using antitrust to enforce laws against price gouging and price fixing. that's a plus 42 like looking at the republican ags have pursued these kinds of suits. but i think, i think it stars from a different premise, which is something that i appreciate. and it's subtle, but i think voters recognize that as well, which is that although we've had successes with the inflation reduction act people still feel the pain and kamala harris is saying, look i know that we didn't do everything for you, like you still are hurting. right? so there's still i so this is what i want to do to do that. and it's boxing trump in, in a very unique way because republicans have this really very tangible history of saying we don't like something. and then failing to identify how they would replace

it. right? you can talk about health care, the affordable care act is the most glaring example for 78910 years. they've been saying we're going to repeal obamacare last week. >> trump was like i'm not doing that and we're like with what then, you combine that with the fact that they have a really hard time articulating an economic message, which is really rare for the reagan republican party to be able to not articulate an economic message. but you also have a diminished candidate, like donald trump, is not donald trump of eight years ago. he cannot. did you see the ticktack thing? the other day? the little tiktok, not not the first time he's done that. he didn't nobody knows what the hell he was talking about like, well, i think it's he was talking about inflation, right mantle tic tac, not the big tech that that's what he was saying. i think so i mean, i always relatively clear might have been a gimmick, but it like it it was clearly i was wondering what it means kasie like. >> i understand my democratic friends point but i think

honestly here, you've had three-and-a-half years to address inflation. a. why should vice president harris be given an opportunity to do something that but biden-harris administration have yet to be able to do during her speech, vice president harris said, the loaf of bread is up 50% since the pandemic, yes. she's right. it is tears before the pandemic, people could afford a loaf of bread. they could afford to put food on the table. they could afford to put gas in the car. they can afford to go on those extended vacations if they so choose, they can't do that under the biden-harris administration is so i think republicans are happening i just have to continue to hit vice president harris on those issues. >> let me just fact check for one second because you said a word in there that matters a lot is called pandemic, right? and so we went through a global pandemic which caused global inflation. and what you want to see is that actually the biden-harris administration has helped ease inflation jin at rates faster than any other country around the globe? yes. and so we're doing this better than absolutely anyone and you're right, but we have to

remember that the reason i wanted to just interrupt you is because you made it seem like biden and harris caused inflation and they didn't. if we want to talk about real numbers, the fact, well can analysts will say that the inflation reduction act did have the opposite effect that it piled on the spending a lot of pandemic spending that donald trump infused into the economy. >> then there was more spending from biden. i'm just i'm just offering you the counterpoint i don't think i don't know the push back. i have to go to this country. i have no, i am not an economic expert. know i'm i go to the fact that search on twitter in a minute inflation reduction act didn't cause the inflation reduction act didn't cause inflation in europe. it didn't cause inflation i should be clear. >> i'm not arguing that it's date or i think i'm just saying that the political argument, problem that can i just say, i think the other problem with where republicans are on this and trying to attack the price gouging proposal, for example, is government setting prices and

so if you strip that argument down to it, its studs you have democrats saying if kamala harris saying, i'm going to take action to further bring prices down. and you have republicans saying no we're not going to know you shouldn't that's a lot that no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. >> no. that is not what republicans are saying. well, republicans are simply saying is how in the world can the federal government decide the cost of a good today compared to tomorrow? that's simple, simple supply and economics. i mean, how was it? >> no, but i mean public isn't also say if you're going to control cost of goods, does the federal government all of a sudden determines how much of that goods should be in the marketplace. i mean, this is really disruptive. so economic principles in general, that's what republican let's say. >> let's say we give you that argument, which we don't. but for the purposes as a factual argument that mccarthy not to get into economic theory here for the progress little is kept for the purposes of people eating breakfast right now, right. >> so let's say i give you that argument. sure.

>> so what is the problem that i have is what has donald trump articulated as his view or policy point to rein in inflation? >> that's a fair point and i that's a fair point and i can give you what i think republicans generally speaking, shouldn't know what donald i can give you publicly should be on that i can tell you mark let me bring you in here because i will say on harris ford wrote this quote, the times demand serious economic ideas. >> harris supplies, gimmicks. now you note that what she is saying there is a very overwhelmingly popular idea do you think that what she did on friday helped advance her case or did she do her do damage to her campaign? >> well, i'm a shallow media guy. i loved this political campaign. that's a plus 42. yes, it works. but to the

point, i mean, if you have the washington post criticizing your economic profit you've got, you've got this central problem there as an opening and you're wet trump or above was after his give those on the economy, inflation on the border, those three period end of story. >> yeah. fair enough. all right. still to come here on cnn this morning tonight, president biden, passing the torch to kamala harris, his former chief of staff, ron klain joins us lot i have here in just a few minutes, plus i'm not leaving potus is leaving not going to run for a second term i can go to oh veep star julia louis dreyfus is just one of the many celebrities set to be in attendance at the dnc. >> this week five-day brought to you by karwan car ivana dale

say on this. yeah. i had the worst job in the world which was i was responsible for entertainment for two republican convention thousand phone calls because they were like good bano get 57 at the end of the day every time it was lee greenwood, the oakridge boys, 20 swing. >> i don't think he did. i know that's stewart rhodes number one of them throwing up at a trash can after that happened i mean, in seriousness, this is something where democrats tend to have a lot more options than republicans should think it matters i think there is a margin where there's just it's a cultural sense that this ticket is in tune with where the culture is. i think it's just a cultural sort of signal i think you can overplay the hollywood card for sure. and that's how republicans work against it to say, oh, it's just the hollywood elites. >> but if you've got everybody body and cultural, big cultural people like taylor i just think it's about the message i'm sorry.

>> no, i think it's about the messenger to because we live in such non traditional times now that, you know, voters don't necessarily listen to the five of us is, as we would which they would write are believed they do when we wake up in the shower i'm going to go out here and move public opinion today, right. so i do think though that when you have these kind of non the streamers, for example, that i don't really even know how that works, but there's an entire generation of people watch streamers and want to hear what they say swifties are. i mean, look, taylor swift is practically destroyed. i.s.i.s. they made the mistake of trying to attack a taylor swift and she's like taking them out and so if taylor swift or beyonce or john legend or katy perry or kit kerry washington, the list goes on and on and on. they are able to communicate to people in ways that kamala harris and joe biden and these, these voters may have a trust with them. yeah. >> i take your point about culture, but taylor swift's still seems to me like in a category by itself, if we're talking about i mean, she could literally get tens of thousands

of mammoth mountain have you heard of beyonce? >> i have had those categories are in rarefied air that's fine fiance up there. >> let's let's put you out of trouble fair enough. >> but i mean, kate, i mean, there is this kind of fragmentation and that's kinda what this speaks to. >> yeah. >> so first of all, i agree, taylor, beyonce and their own in their own if either of them are listening, we would love your endorsement but at a tactical level, i mean, it's kind of goes to what bakari is saying. mean these are people who have following of people who aren't tuned into politics. i mean, that's an in a marginal race and a real, it's going to be very, very close if you have a following on instagram or tiktok of people, young women, young man who aren't watching cable news or even paying attention to politics that can be a way to get to, right? >> you're trying to flood the zone and it is a way to reach low information voters who just aren't other dialed in. you've even seen trump talking with a

lot of guys who are streamers. you've seen that because they recognized at least from the republican perspective that they are, there are these disengage, low propensity voters specifically mit and who don't vote, they're not really calculated in the numbers that we currently have to say, hey, maybe some of these guys can help us reach those demographics to help them turn out democrats have always recognized that naval, i would argue has been fairly well or have done fairly well. i would say for a couple of years now of getting those younger voters to turn out, we saw it in 2020, president biden's coalition, i think 20 6% were younger voters. individuals had never voted before. and i think you're going to see that replicated again. >> yeah. i mean, it is a contrast mark with like we saw hulk hogan at the rnc this time that was you can see kind of the messaging and cultural differences, the things they are choosing to highlight. >> yeah, but i mean, this is a really good example of how republicans are trying to reach out to cultural messengers. and that's how you get it. you get it through one-to-one. now instead of broadcast, yeah, there is hulk hogan. >> yeah, that's also where you can see the gender gap in this race. i'll take time, but

100%. all right, let's turn now to this i'm not at all offended that none of you have any idea who i am. it's time to all act john kerry, i accept your nomination to run and serve with barack obama. great honor and pleasure. i except we owe the finish line. i accept this nomination for president all right. >> 52 years after attending his first democratic national convention, president biden will take the stage in chicago tonight to speak to his party. this time, not as a senator or vice president, but as the occupant of that office that he has worked so hard to seek as president the united states of america. and tonight he'll pass the torch to kamala harris, representing a new generation of democratic leaders. as he ascends the convention stage at the conclusion of his political time in the spotlight, biden's speech is an opportunity to lay out the legacy that he set out in his first dnc address back

in 1980 the essential spirit of our party and our country was best summed up last noted passage for president kennedy's inaugural address what do you have anything is more relevant today than it was 20 years ago president kennedy said, then with a good conscience, are only reward with history of the final judge of our deeds. let us go forth and lead the land. we love joining me now is president biden's former chief of staff, ron klain. >> ron. good morning. i'm so grateful to have you on the show. i interesting to hear how his cadence seemed to echo john kennedy, john kennedy is a cadence. then we've obviously seen him evolve on the stage. i was just hoping to start with your reflections on tonight because ultimately this is going to be about president biden's legacy. clearly, there are some hard feelings about how this all played out, but

kamala harris winning this election would make a huge difference to biden's legacy in the long term? no well, yeah, i think it goes way beyond his legacy. >> look, the president and the vice prison work together very hard. these four years to bring the country back from the pandemic to get our economy growing again, to fight climate change, to address problems here at home and around the world. they've made a lot of progress, but there's a lot of work left to do. and the president's side person to lead that work as vice president harris and her running mate, governor walz and you're hear him tonight. not so much. talk about his legacy. we're talking about the future. what america can be under harris, walz and his enthusiasm about our futures a country is optimism about the kind of country we can be if we choose wisely in november, he's very enthusiastic cargo tonight, i've talked to him last night, is very enthusiastic about enthusiastic what she has to make the case for the path forward for these next four years under vice president harris and governor walz what else, can you tell us, ron, about what to expect if you've spoken to him

recently. i know one thing we've reported here is that he's going to focus on the threat to democracy that donald trump represents. that's clearly something that's been personally animating for him, even if it's kind of a darker way of looking at it. and perhaps kamala harris has presented in her run well i, think he will talk about the challenge we face as democracy right now here at home and around the world. and it's been a signature of his presidency, signature why he ran for president in 2020, why he won and why we did so well in the midterms in 2022. and it'll make their case against dei, as he said, we dressed the country from the oval office office when he announced his departure from the race, democracy is on the line this year, and the vice president harris is right person to save our democracy here at home. and around the world and make our country a better place. and he's very excited about it. i think democrats are very enthusiastic about this ticket, very enthusiastic about where we're headed and i think you'll see democrats struggle hot to go hot to go for for kamala harris and tim walz fair enough. >> ron can i ask you about dr.

jill biden, who are also expected to hear from tonight she of course, is someone who was standing by her husband when he was staying in this presidential race how hard are the feelings? there and what should we expect from her tonight there are no hard feelings is all there's just a lot of the president and the first lady are just giant fans and friends of vice president harris in her husband, doug emhoff. >> the two families are very close. she's very enthusiastic about the vice president's candidacy. i know one of her big concerns when the president, if the race was making sure that the party would unite behind the vice president as it has. and she's very enthusiastic about that. you'll hear her make her own strong case for vice president harris and the leaderships you can find our country on things like women's rights and reproductive freedom with vice presidents, been a leader since the dobbs decision came down on trying to protect women's rights in this country and that's very important to dr. biden. and i think you'll hear her make the case for vice president harris tonight as well ron why in your view, is

donald trump attacking kamala harris the way that he has been well i think he's a little perplexing, but what to do i think he has only one playbook is it's a combination of misogyny and racism. it's been his playbook. it was the massage part of it was his playbook in 2016 when he ran against secretary clinton. he's trying to recycle those old tired arguments, but i think the country is ready for vice president harris to lead our country. she said a superb job as vice president she has been in the room on key decisions. she's represented our country overseas at the munich security conference. she sat down face-to-face with world leaders on behalf of the u.s. including president of ukraine and other leaders. and so i think the eid really doesn't want to say about her, so he's just throwing old garbage adir all right. >> ron klain. thanks for being here. very grateful for your time this morning. i appreciate it. >> thanks. >> right still ahead here of course, on cnn this morning, we are just hours away from the start of the democratic national convention, a lineup

leads things off with heavy hitters from the party. plus we're going to hear from president biden and first lady jill biden. and 2016 nominee hillary clinton will talk to our panel about what they expect from those democratic leaders coming up hen to trade bitcoin plus oil plus gold plus so much more let me introduce you to plus 500 fleet intuitive and easy to use trading app

once harris yes does it, our panel's back. i want to spin through quickly as we wrap things up here, what are you expecting hoping to see tonight, kate? >> i think what we're going to see as a harnessing of this energy that is so palpable in the democratic party right now, i think hillary clinton is somebody who democrats have enormous respect for. i think i also think that there's the audience in the convention hall who's going to be i think absolutely crazy for her and then there's also the audience at home. and i think that after now that we've seen four years of donald trump in office, we've seen that chaos. we see what that looks like. i think there are a lot of swing voters who say man we might've made the wrong choice in 2016. and i think she's going to help remind people of that i would love to hear from some of the strategies to my left. >> but one of the things that i believe hillary clinton is going to be able to do that kamala harris won't do is lean into identity. one of the things kamala harris hasn't done since she's been running is talk about the fact that she is a black woman or lean into just being a woman. being a

woman of color. i think hillary clinton is going to be able to do that tonight. one of the things that we always say about common-law harris is the same thing we said about the reason brock obama didn't necessarily lean into that either is because you can see the history there, walking history. i expect hillary to be able to tackle some of that sry look, she's ran against the former president before. i think she understands what it takes to potentially get that close to beating him i expect and i'm very impressed by hillary clinton, just broadly speaking, as a politician, i really expect her to send a case to not only older white woman, but younger white woman about the importance of them rallying behind kamala harris that's a good it's a great point. >> i'm thinking about my daughter who in my youngest daughter, who in 2000 16, i couldn't get out of bed for three days. she's at a bed right now and she's thanking hillary clinton for making it all possible. >> interesting. all right, thank you all for being here with us. thanks to all of you for joining us. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere cnn news central next from right here in chicago cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to but new nominee and her running mate fellow cnn for complete
