saying that as we are why did lie labs? i'll note we've been focusing on delaware delegation. i'm standing to a lot, obviously, given its president biden's home state. but we will be focusing on california as this role paul is getting underway, white a large delegation, front and center for vice president harris, jake. >> all right. now let's go over to mj lee, who has details on what the second gentleman doug emhoff will say this evening, mj, tell us what you're learning. well, jake, this week is all about the american people getting to know better the vice president and the same goes for her family. we've just learned that her stepson whole emhoff is going to be on stage tonight talk about what the vice president often refers to as her blended family in a video message as well. pull emhoff will talk about the time when his parent's job and emhoff split when he >> but he wasn't going to pull ride in that as a difficult time. but then they'll say there was a blind date between doug emhoff and the vice president that change their families lives forever. people say in that video message, but

in 2014, harris became babela. this is the nickname that the children used for the vice president will describe her as having taken over sunday he dinners at actually taught doug emhoff how to cook according to this video. now, doug emhoff, as we know, is going to be speaking tonight as well, and he is going to make that connection saying that she has risen to the occasion for his family and that he believes that she can do the same at this moment for the country as well. and just one other note as we've talked about this idea of a blended families sitting in the vip box tonight. ruby person emhoff, doug emhoff's first wife she of course, has been publicly supportive of the harris campaign as well. >> jake, part mj lee, thanks so much. appreciate it. let's talk about this with my panel. i should know when i covered and profile. then senator kamala harris when she was preparing for her presidential run i was kind of surprised to hear how close she is with her husband's ex-wife? >> yeah.

>> so i'm actually not surprised tonight to hear the chase here, but i was surprised to 2009 but the base airliner this evening obviously, barak and michelle obama, who are worshiped by the tens of thousands of people here tonight and this is you know, you obviously think about obama and his vice president, president biden, and the kind of speech you would have given if president biden had stayed on the ticket but when it comes to kamala harris that two of them have a relationship that goes back to almost the beginning of her political career, which wasn't that long ago, especially up against the joe biden resume, but they still met pretty early on in her career. >> she was very early supporter of him is it 2008? so he's not only going to be speaking as barack obama and he's not only going to get the place, i, you know, fired up because they're excited to see him. he is were told very much want to talk about her, the woman she knows

and why he believes she is right to take the job that he had an abby phillip, we're also going to hear this evening from a number republicans, not former republican, but current republicans who are breaking with their party to talk about why they are supporting kamala harris. that includes trump's former communications director and press secretary, stephanie grisham, who was one of the most loyal of trumpist. >> this is very reminiscent of what actually hillary clinton tried to do in the 2016 election, rent going up against trump. this is a key part of the way that they reach these independent voters who are not excited about trump. they don't want to have to vote for him again, they don't like him in a lot of ways. and they need a permission structure to move to the other side. and this is one of the key ways to do it as the thing is though between 2016 and today, the number of republicans, especially the ones who used to work for donald trump, like stephanie grisham it's overwhelming.

they're perhaps more in harper, i'm sorry to interrupt. >> i'm sorry to interrupt. so this is kyle sweets or he's a former two time from fodor he's going to speak to the crowd i voted. for trump not once, not twice, but three times you see, i worked in construction i work with my hands he told us he looked out for blue-collar workers so i made my first ever political donation to trump and i donated to him many times throughout his presidency but then i started to see trump's tariff policy inaction caused for construction workers like me, we're starting to soar i realized trump wasn't for me he was for lining his own pockets now not left-wing, period but i believe our

leaders should bring out the best in us not the worst that's why i'm voting for kamala harris she's tough she's going to tackle inflation. trump will make it worse. i'm voting for kamala harris because she'll make us proud to be american again nobody has. >> ever called me weird. have a lot of things were weird. i'm not in any case, abigail abby the kyle sweets or former two two-time trump voter just spoke right there talking about a why he is not going to vote for trump, when this surge consecutive presidential election, this is a period in the convention right now where they are featuring the democrats are featuring republicans who are supporting kamala harris and are not supporting donald trump.

>> we also expect to hear from donald trump's former white house press secretary and communications director, and also a former chief of staff for then first lady melania trump stephanie grisham. she will speak this evening. >> this convention is also going to feature of the lieutenant, former lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff duncan, a very conservative and proudly conservative christian public official, who is also breaking from his party. >> this is a real theme that the democrats are trying to hammer home in this convention. that republicans should come on board with kamala harris as well? so that is one of the things we're hearing right now. and i believe now we're going to hear from stephanie grisham grishan i wasn't just a trump supporter i wasn't true believer.

>> i was one of his closest advisors the trump family became my family. i spent easter thanksgiving, christmas, and new year's all at mar-a-lago i saw him when the cameras were off behind closed doors, trump mocks his supporters. he calls them basement dwellers on a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the icu, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him he has no empathy no morals, and no fidelity to the truth he used to tell me. it doesn't matter what you say, stephanie saying enough, and people will believe you but it does matter. what you says matter and what you don't say matters on january 6, i asked melania if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protests is the right of every american, there's no place for lawlessness or violence she

replied with one word no i became the first senior staffer to resign that day. i couldn't be part of the insanity and longer when i was press secretary, i got skewered for never holding a white house briefing it's because unlike my boss i never wanted to stand at that podium in live now here i am behind a podium advocating for a democrat i love my country more than my party harris tells the truth she respects the american people, and she has my vote hey abby philip. it is rare. it is really remarkable when you think about the fact that not only are former trump officials

endorsing kamala harris, but there are so many notable trump officials who weren't even present at the republican convention, including his former vice president. >> who is not voting for donald trump. >> i mean, there's a living former republican president who probably wouldn't step foot in a trump run. republican national convention, which says an enormous amount about the state of the republic can party under trump it's, it's a party that has been split into and so many people like stephanie grisham and others, some of them broke with trump during the trump years. but so many of them like her january 6 was a moment of intense clarity about trump's character and about who he is as a person that is what yesterday and today. they are highlighting because as i said to our colleague scott jennings this morning, republicans want to memory hold january 6, put it in the rearview mirror, but for

all americans, it's still a thing that happened. and this is a reminder of that. >> yeah, let's get to kaitlan collins right now. who's on the floor of the convention. she's joined mean by michigan's democratic governor, gretchen whitmer. >> yeah, jake and we are standing with the michigan delegation here in the stands with this governor whitmer. great to have you here. last night. was was president biden's night arguably he was giving his speech touting his, record. what do americans need to hear about vice president harris from the speakers on that stage tonight? >> i think you know, we just heard from a republican on the stage. we know that this is a place where we build a seat at the table for everyone. this platform, if it doesn't speak 100%, there's something in it for everyone in this country, building a stronger future economic opportunity and making sure that every person has a path to prosperity and a safe school and personal freedoms that's what's so at stake in this election. and so you'll hear a lot about that tonight. and the next two nights, but it's been joyful and energetic and a lot of fun. >> yeah, there's no denying everyone is in a good mood. you could feel it when you're on the floor, but your party does

have a lot of work to do as you were just talking about before the election is not that far away from today. what does it look like post-convention? your state of michigan and wisconsin. these other battlegrounds that harris and walz are going to need while i've told everyone enjoyed this and ride this energy through because on friday, its 75 days until the election, we've got a lot of work to do. we've got voter contact, we've got conversations that need to be had shifts to sign up for for getting people registered to vote are turning out the vote, et cetera. so there's a lot of work ahead. it is still going to be a close election, i believe. it is good to feel optimistic, but now we've got to be happy warriors and gets alert your home state governor gary peters said yesterday that he believes vice president harris does have differences from president biden on policies, especially issues like israel and gaza, and that she needs to start showing those. do you agree with that i think that vice president harris have shown that she can stand on her own two feet? >> yeah. and she is the type of leader that we need in washington, dc. he sees every person who cares about making

sure that every one of us has a path. she grew up in the middle class, unlike the alternative, who's never put a real vision for the future of the country on the table. kamala harris was talking about creating economic opportunity for all of us. so i think this is a stark matchup as it is, and i encourage her to keep showing up as kamala harris and governor whitmer, i know you've got a ceremonial delegates to go. she'll be announcing not thank you very much, governor whitmer, jake, back to you. >> here's another michigan sir. it's senator gary peters. >> let's listen in michigan we believe we have to build an economy that grows the middle class and. >> we know that when unions succeed workers, when i was raised in a union household. my father was a teacher, and my mother a nurse's aide and they gave me and my sisters what

every parent wants to provide for their children an opportunity to pursue their dreams i went to public school i worked odd jobs, became an eagle scout and kamala harris and tim walz grew up just like me and i know i know they will fight for all of us. they will make it easier to raise our families and to retire with dignity just look at the record as vice president, kamala harris helped pass legislation that finally finally allowed medicare to negotiate and lower the cost of prescription drugs she brought manufacturing jobs back to the united states of america and as governor tim

walz signed the largest infrastructure investment in minnesota history and on the other hand we have donald trump and j.d. vance and let's be clear if they win if they win, working people like my friends here from the teamsters will pay a price there project 2025. >> agenda same same we cannot

let that happen. we know happen i want to introduce some retired teamsters, pension warriors. left eye cam scribbling president of the national, committee to protect i am kynars dribbling a proud retire teacher from local 200 in milwaukee, wisconsin i hope

you don't mind what i brought some friends gretchen warrior, from the end-use cbp i found out and 2025 my pension, my monthly pension benefit was going to be reduced in half not long after that my wife, beverly, was diagnosed with terminal cancer i don't know how we were going to make it so i want to retirees meeting in the basement of a small church at that moment. >> i knew we were not going to go down without a fight verbally made me promise. never to quit and ty genteel, we made this right. so we organize a nationwide grassroots movement for six years. we fought hard

and finally we had a breakthrough after 50 days in office the biden-harris administration pass the american rescue plan including the butch lewis act to save our pitches and secure retirement they got it done with without one single republican both in congress they saved over 1 million tensions including 33,000 from my state, wisconsin 52,000 from pennsylvania 61,000 from michigan as president i know kamala harris will have our backs she will fight for

retirement. >> so security, and medicare every passed away in 2019 but i kept my promise because a promise is a promise is a promise. thank you kind of scribbling president of the national united committee to protect pensions, one of several union leaders who have spoken here at the democratic national committee's convention. >> let's bring in john king right now to talk about the focus that we are we're getting right now, not just on the battleground, state of michigan, but also on union voters. john well, jake, look, let's start with michigan. >> do you see a blue there for joe biden, right. easiest way to explain why has michigan matter. that's 2016. that's hillary clinton. she lost michigan. she lost the white

house also, wisconsin and pennsylvania. mr. stripling, who just spoke there. this from with it's constant, right? these three states right here, they voted together and every presidential election since 2000 for the blue wall states that are key to the democratic foundation to width. so they are critical to kamala harris now as she tries to keep them in her column, one more quick point. you come back to 2020. so why does it matter in the 2020 race? hilar in the 2016 race, black turnout was down a bit in detroit that hurt clinton, but i'll tell you for harris right now, jake, the biggest problem maybe not african american turnout. she has energized that there are a lot of young voters and arab american voters in michigan who are mad over the israel hamas conflict. they were mad at president biden. the question is, can kamala harris say come support me even though you might have disagreements, michigan 15 electoral votes, part of the blue wall absolutely essential all right, fascinating stuff coming up much more from the democratic national convention here in chicago, where gonna be joined by a democrat who already fired up the convention hall with a

primetime speech last night. >> that's georgia senator raphael warnock, stay with us this fall to use coming to cnn what could go wrong? >> have i got news for you. for me or saturday, september 14th, are not thank god. maybe i'll just go get wings for everybody booking hotels.com app to find your perfect somewhere. are they really going to spend all day streaming college football on directv? can you blame them? they've got the biggest rivalries and bowl games.

>> speaking up, frank, run a slant to the bolded chips. bobby wouldn't hook to the salsa what are you going to do? >> coach prime. >> don't question your coach. matt oftentimes i walk into it and i'm the only minority there. >> and that's why my work focuses on bringing technology to underserved with things like bitcoin and blockchain. we're connecting people from all walks we don't have a community that's not capable we have a community that's not guide i wanted my kids generation of better shot at doing better than my name is doug and i'm empowering my community with blockchain some days you can feel like a spectator in your own life with chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month each lasting four hours or more botox prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine before they start and treatment is four times a year in a survey, 91% of users, which they'd started sooner. >> so why wait, talk to your doctor effects of botox may spread hours two weeks after

injection causing serious symptoms, alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, i problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. >> don't receive botox if there's a skin infection, tell you your doctor, your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects, chronic migraine, we still keep you from being there. >> why wait. talk to your doctor about botox and get in the picture? learn how ad they can help you save luma phi. >> it's kind of amazing wow, luma phi drops dramatically, reduce redness in one minute and look at the difference. my eyes, the brighter and wider for up to eight hours, lumoget'

usually did for me night two of the democratic national convention well underway here in chicago are closing anti-marquee speeches from former president barack obama, former first lady michelle obama's second gentlemen when doug emhoff lives good. >> first to cnn's jeff zeleny was some new information on a former prison obama's speech tonight. jeff, what are you learning well, anderson, it's been 20 years since barak obama made his i really debut and the democratic party at that boston democratic convention back in 2004, when he said that we are not a collection of red states and blue states, we are the united states i am told by a longtime friend of the former president, he believes his speech here tonight is even more important. >> how important this friend tells me that barack obama believes donald trump can win this election but he believes kamala harris can also win it if democrats do their part so that is going to be the spine of the speech tonight. that from our president obama is going to be delivering here in

this convention hall to a home crown crowd that is eager to hear from him. he is going to lay out what he believes is the vice president harris's path to victory but also what the burden here is on these voters. so anderson so interesting, this 20 year history back then in boston, a young kamala harris was in that convention hall as well watching a young barack obama that's where there are two decades friendship the relationship began. >> yeah, there's certainly a lot of excitement in this arena tonight to hear from both of the obamas, jeff, thanks for murder much. we'll check in with you shortly here with the team. >> david axelrod. >> it's moving along much more on tonight, which is certainly good news for the producers here. >> and i think for a lot of people in the hall. yeah. well, i think everybody was so concerned about the pace of last night's and i don't think they want to leave the obamas waiting. >> there until 11, 30 at night. >> there was a lot of behind the scenes concerned throughout the date today about what happened last night. >> yeah. >> but i think adjustments were

made and here yesterday, as we talked about, there was a lot of business that they needed to take care of and there was a lot of challenge that was related to melding the biden convention in harris convention this is a pure harris programming here. and i think they're going to move this the folks on the teleprompters are going to be ruthless and they're going to move this thing along. but just on what jeff was talking about, you know, what's striking to me is this political moment. and the ones that barack obama faced both in 22 doesn't four in 2008 when he was the nominee there was a hunger in this country for a better kind of politics and for turning the page and for bringing people together around common concerns that people are facing in their lives in many ways, i think the speech he is going to make tonight reflects many of the same themes he sees kamala harris or someone representing the same kind of opportunity for the countries. so it will

be frontal on also it's a torch passing opportunity that barack obama did not get in 2016 or 2020 because hillary clinton and clinton omics joe biden, these are all known quantities to the public. >> it was not a change election for either so we've never really seen barack obama kind of stand up and say, these are the people. this is what's next join in and it will be interesting to see what he does with that opportunity kennedy tonight. >> i mean, i remember 20 years ago i was living in oakland in a little condo. i had a little baby and a cat and i didn't have a tv. i listened on the radio and this voice that sounded completely different than anything we'd ever heard before. barack obama talk recasting his own story as an american story. and it just opened up a sense for me personally that i had a place

in the country that i could be something and everybody that day felt the same way and kamala harris can do that times 100 because of who she is, because of what it means for a woman to do this. and i think it's going to be exciting night everything. >> well, first of all, democrats are not embarrassed of obama, so they're going to let him get on before midnight. so that's probably a good thing for the programming. >> i got a good does jump in kaitlan collins says, senator schumer with her kaitlan stricken with you here's got one from back in a moment hi anderson, i'm here on the floor standing right by the new york delegation or course that is where we find new york senator chuck schumer, senator schumer, what are you expecting to hear onstage tonight from president obama, from the former first lady, talking about vice president harris what we're going to hear is the amazing contrast between the great stuff that a harris-walz administration would do for working families. and the contrast with republicans and trump, the contrast is glaring. the more americans see the contrast. kaitlan the more we're going to win by. and

i'll bet we're going to win by more than just a little and what does that look like though in terms of introducing vice president harris to maybe a lot of momentum and not inside this room, but who are at home watching and want to learn more about the more they see are, the more they're going to like her i saw what she did in the senate. >> we serve together for four years. she cared about families. she could work with all kinds of people, and she was effective in getting things done. one of the things she pushed which we succeeded in was $35 insulin for senior citizens now we're going to get it for everybody. >> what's your response on trump takes credit of that? >> trump takes credit for so many things. he doesn't do and gets the blame for a lot of things he does do. he's he's lost his bearings as we can see, day by day. >> senator chuck schumer, i know you've got a lot to do on the convention floor. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. >> anderson back to you, kaitlan. >> thanks very much, scott, i interrupted you he takes a cheap shot and then he they switch away from our house

complimenting your guy. >> they want to hear from obama, he's one of the most gifted political communicators i misinterpreted and look in everything that was described about him new kind of politics, you know, excited for all these non policy reasons. he, he speaks to the vibes. >> part of this election and i think what republicans are going to happen tax on unrealized capital gains. i mean bread lines and boarding and black markets may be an optimistic future at this point, if she keeps going is i just i think you're picking up on the trump five there. >> i'm just world's going to hell. i'm sorry. if if the president of the united states institute those kind of tax increases, we're all going to be fighting each other for the last few crumbs out in the hall trump that is the trump message, but it it is it is

lunacy to it's my point is this they're going to try to run on vibes. >> trump's going to have to paint a policy picture and we'll see if he can do it. >> all right. sarah seidner is standing by with stephanie grisham, who just spoke earlier. sara all right. >> we are here with stephanie grisham, euo, remember she has donald trump's former press secretary. she has now here speaking at the dnc because she has been very clear, she has completely changed mr. mind on who should be the president of the united states and who should not. i just want to ask you, what was his moment like when you decided i cannot do this anymore. i cannot be part of this administration anymore. and you ended up here speaking at the dnc know, you know, i hit tried to resign actually, a few times prior to january 6, but melania i couldn't be there anymore. i knew that you knew what he was doing. i was so disappointed that melania wouldn't do it at least it's

something to try to quell the violence. and i haven't looked back since now. yeah, to be here is not something i ever thought my career i would ever be. but i'm proud of it. i stand by it and it's been great. everybody has been wonderful and award what was it like up there surreal? but i had to tell the truth. it was terrifying. i'm not going to lie. i'm waiting for all the backlash. i'm going to get, you know, how it goes. but i think it was really important and if i reached even a handful of independence are a handful of republicans so it will just go behind that. voting booth in the private and just add vote their conscience and vote not for party. >> then i will have done my job stephanie grisham, thank you so much for taking the time with us. i really appreciate you doing that she did mention to me, by the way that, you know, she is waiting for the response and the reaction and the attacks that always calm when she is front and center. those attacks, she is worried about because sometimes they put her life in danger. she's worried

about how donald trump is going and to respond to her speaking at the democratic national convention, their side, our thanks very much coming up the roll call of state celebrating kamala harris, his democratic party's presidential nominee, will also be joined by north carolina governor roy cooper. stay with us much more ahead. >> this is your team you have the right set of individuals they're going to take us to the next slow hard knocks training camp with the chicago bears, streaming exclusively on someone needs to customize and save hundreds of liberty mutual wait, there's an elevator only pay for what you need labor day with priceline vip family, you can unlock deals five times faster. you don't even have to be an actual family. >> i'd be the dad on the day

231231. now i'm sunlen serfaty in washington in this is cnn welcome back to cnn special live coverage of the democratic national convention night too, is underway here in chicago all building up to the main event this evening, and headliners creates by former president barak obama. >> let's go to cnn's kaitlan collins, who's on the floor of the convention as she is joined by democratic senator raphael warnock of georgia, who brought the roof down last night. >> yes, he did. jake, we were just talking about that speech. we're standing by the minnesota delegation. georgia is not too far though they're in our line of sight. obviously your state is going to be critical to success for any candidate in the election. what does vice president harris and governor walz need to do to win georgia absolutely. >> there's no question that the road to the white house goes straight through georgia georgia is a battleground state. i know it. i won twice

in that state, senator ossoff won and i really do believe that we can ensure that georgian lands in the harris walk, a waltz column. it's gonna be hard work it's going to be a tight race. there's no question about it and by the way, the former president is helping us. i mean, he went to georgia to his own rally and he spent much of his time insulting the sitting republican governor. i hope they keep that going on the other side. focused on their problems. meanwhile, we are going to be focused on the people and i should note, it is very quiet. here has not been this quiet the entire convention that's because they are posing for a group shots december we're not going to be standing next to each other in that group picture. but speaking of georgia the georgia election board just changed rules. they've been doing a lot of that. they've got about 19 people and they're over used to certify elections in the past, are you worried that's going to disenfranchise voters or cause chaos in your state is we're trying to figure out who did win in november listen, we are witnessing in

real-time the machinations of those who believe much more empowered than they believe in democracy and here's what we've got to do. >> we've got a win this election. we've got to maintain our majority in the senate. we've got to flip the house, send kamala harris and tim walz to the white house. and when we do that, we've got to pass the john lewis voting rights advancement act what the supreme court did in 2013 was a real knockout punch. certainly undermine much of the strength of the voting rights act. the reason why you can see some of these games that get played is because they don't have to go through something called preclearance. so we've got to renew the voting rights act and that's something i'll be very focused on all right, senator warnock, thank you for that there cheering because they just finished the picture. >> so hopefully we don't get in trouble for moving during that. thank you for your time that been at the convention, jake, obviously, a state that is going to be quite critical for both the senate and for the election come november kaitlan eyes were clerks when they took that job well, do they i could

ask him to do it again jake. it's too late. >> senator, look fine. let's get more reaction from another official from a battleground state, north carolina is to turn democratic governor roy cooper, who joins us now governor one of the things that the harris campaign as, as opposed to the biden campaign, is that with her entry in the race and renewed excitement for her candidacy as opposed to president biden's. there are, there are new avenues, new roads paths to the white house, including opening up sunbelt states, georgia, nevada, north carolina arizona, owner that had really honestly were thought to have been closed is that true as north carolina and flying absolutely were in play, i have that 2008 feeling and people in north carolina know what that means, because we participated in the historic election of a brock obama that was the last time we voted for a democratic presidential candidate. >> we had 12,000 volunteers.

>> the first couple of weeks after kamala harris was the democratic nominee, 90% of them were first-time volunteers so there is real excitement on the ground about this election. >> you're seeing it reflected in the poll numbers kamala harris chose north carolina to unveil her economic plan. on last friday he is going to be talking to working class north carolinians taking credit for amazing investments that the biden-harris administration patients have made. but also understanding people's concerns with paying too much at the grocery store. and for childcare, and that she is ready to do something about it.
