having a virtual meeting today with other democrat leadership. is there a chance he comes out and publicly it says something different? with that beat what it takes ano nudge the president? >> from what i am hearing from rank-and-file members of congress you saw a couple come out this weekend, angie craig hudson a swing district up in minnesota. it meant minnesota's now and play i think you'll see significant amount of pressure whether it is today or tomorrow, sometime this week as the members come back this it may be untenable for them to all want to run under a biden ticket. it is going to drag everybody else down and that is a major, major concern for leader jeffries who is a phenomenal leader. i think his members, donors, activists around the country are very, very concerned. i think you'll see a lot more that this week. shannon]: the president was pushed repeatedly about negative numbers and things are going well for him the reality of the situation. he pushed back saying he does

not believe that data. the you get the sense he is still being insulated by his inner circle from the reality of a situation or does he believe that data, the polls are not correct? >> it is incredible how presidents get so insulated and sometimes from reality. i think we saw about with the president the other night. you cannot deny it it's not just the polls i am here in ohio you cannot go to a coffee shop, you cannot go to a bar, you cannot go to a soccer game where people are not talking about this in a negative sense it. that reality is they are. it is important to be loyal but part of being loyal is being honest and we have to be honest to each other how difficult of a situation this is. and shannon, i am telling it the american people are dying for some aspiration for some inspiration for some hope, some reconciliation, coming together

some fellowship, some healing we need a candidate who can get us to that point and that candidate i think is going to do very, very well this election. shannon]: the president was praecipe stays on the ticket loses to president trump about how he would feel about that. here is his answer. >> if you stay n and trump is elected and everything your warning about comes to pass how will you feel in january? >> i will feel it as long as i gave it my all and i did the buddhist job i know i can do that is what this is about. >> his assessment of how he would play this thing out. >> that was very frustrating. that is what got under the skin of a lot of members of congress. this is not likely get

participation trophies and congratulations you did the best you could. this is a sporting event without three interceptions the coach pulls the quarterback if you are a pitcher not getting the job done eating fingers left and right that's kind of where we are in my estimation i think in the estimation of guys like david axelrod high functioning on the democratic side. this is out of love. we love job i did he accomplish so much re- industrialize the country in ohio we are building ships wechips were building elec battery plants we are building electric vehicles the economy is being reassured jobs are being reassured for the first time in decades. he helped do that. we have accomplishments but that message is not getting out because it could not get articulated the vision we want for america, that healing, the reconciliation, people want to come together that they are so tired of the vietnam generation

the fights were having basically since the vietnam war with each other. we are not each other's enemies we are each other's -- we are patriots here to try to make america successful. we are friends. we are family members that we have got to heal but we need a candidate who can come in and do that particularly think kamala harris can help us heal we need a candidate who can do that because the country is ready to move on from the trump/abide all the double haters you've talked about over the last few weeks they do not like trump, they do not like a biden let's give them a candidate they can rally around too this country can keel it we can become americans to get a not just democrats and republicans precook so much of the conversation hearing from democrats publicly and privately that worried about him being unable to beat president trump it's not the conversation he may not be able to govern now those are two very different things. new yorker magazine has this that with this is what the 25th the memo was about design for if joe biden does not willingly resign that would

allow around a new incompetence should be having the conversation if he so ill equipped to run and win about whether he is able to govern now but would you support and move on the 25th the moment? >> i think is it is a totally different argument. making the argument, being on the campaign trail, being in a debate is much different than deliberating in private about what direction the country's going to go it on a particular foreign policy issue or domestic issue. those are two separate things. now, would that be a concern in two years? yes that's what most americans are evaluating. they seat the president and the debate or the interview the other day and say he could probably do this for another six months or so but could he do it two years from now? the answer is probably no and that is a people are going to vote on. but when it comes to a campaign like what happened during the debate is trump who obviously lied 27 different times was able

to make a new narrative out of the economy when he was in. i do and narrative out of coal would when he was in an president biden was not able to push back and articulate why he was wrong and what direction you want to take the country inn. shannon]: is an important part of campaigning they found president biden lied as well during the campaign and that debate. congressman we appreciate your time we will see how this plays out. >> thank you appreciate it. joining us of florida congressman byron donalds. welcome back i want to start within the same place a conversation about the 25th amendment. two of your gop have offered up a resolution calling on the vice president and they cabinet to move on that. the federalist notes that would be tough for republicans because you would be then up and against an incumbent in november. that might prompt some republicans remain silent rather than demand vice president harris aharrison biden's cabiner but they too took an oath to bear true faith and allegiance

to the constitution. faithfully discharge the duties of the office. you think the president's well enough to continue on? would you support a move on the 25th amendment? >> first of all, it is good to be with you but i do not believe joe biden has the capabilities of serving out the rest of this term. let alone running for president for the democrats are the ones who have a serious issue here, not the republican members on capitol hill. i do agree we have a responsibility to make sure the occupants of the oval office have the mental capabilities to do that job. but that responsibility relies with the vice president 1013 and the cabinet. what we are seeing is they have decided to cover up joe biden to protect the radical agenda as opposed to what is in the best interest of the american people. at the end of the date kamala harris and the cabinet have a responsibility to the american people.

they have a constitutional duty to the american people. shannon]: let's talk about the vice president. previous guest former congressman said she's more energetic she would connect better with women, photos of color in places where they are having trouble cnn polling taken after the debate show she doesn't pull better against president trump and president biden does they say that she is within striking distance of trump a hypothetical matchup 47 -- 45 with registered voters. versus 44% is there an acknowledgment within the trump campaign you may have to pivot to a different candidate who has strengths the current president does not? >> we do not believe so. also dig into other poles that are come out donald trump doesn't just as well against kamala harris if not better when you compare her to joe biden for

the other thing is we have not really gone into depth with the record of kamala harris when she was a united states senator, she cosponsored and fully supported bernie sanders radical takeover of american healthcare. that would have added 32 georgia 35 chilean dollars debt already. she cosponsored a fully sponsored this radical marine new deal which would cost the american people almost $100 trillion and would make electricity prices higher and we bake our inflation problems worse. you look at her job as vice president xi is the borders are but did nothing. the last time she was at the border almost two years ago thurman 6 million new illegal immigrants in our country, what did she do? she is the ai's are nothing materialized what did she do? then you get to the interviews. whether you are talking about the cackling laugh or venn diagrams there is not been anything of substance she is at the top of the ticket, our game plan remains the same. talks about the disastrous

agenda from the biden/harris administration and had donald trump will make america great again. shannon]: the federalist agree with you on most of those things also has a warning for republicans about where they depend on voters showing up they said this republicans cannot assume their polling and debate performance will be enough to win this november the party must keep its foot on that pedal of ballot operations there been questions about the trump campaign about the republican strategy for i turnout for ballt harvesting and all of these things have been opposed in the past but the party is now advocating. what is the plan on that front? >> i will tell you that as a party we are fully supportive of depending on the jurisdiction over the state laws are in that area, i at that mean you have to go out and make sure people return absentee ballot to go ahead and d do the it's about making sure the ballots are in you get as many people registered you get as many people turned out to support president trump. i know people in our country are

looking at the fact joe biden is literally falling apart in front of our eyes confirming what everyone knew and now everyone knows one 100%. you silk to execute the game plan on the campaign people going out to the polls and actually voting not just looking at the public opinion polls which obviously demonstrate donald trump's in a great position but at the end of the date the party is united about making sure we get voters out to the polls. tb operations will be crucial this election. shannon]: can you tell him up the vice presidential selection do you know a timeline? you know the pic? we could do none of the timeline or the picket donald trump will do that i will save you take a look at the job obviously joe biden is a disaster but even kamala harris these two have not had an interest in what the american people are trying to have. which is secure borders, lower cost of the grocery store, lower housing costs, a thriving

economy and peace around the world, actual true global leadership not global pandering. so whoever donald trump decides to go with is going to be an exemplary pic. we're going have significantly better president in the oval will have a significantly better vice president being his partner to help make sure our country is back on track. shannon]: was in the coming days to the opponents will be and who is at on the ticket as well congressman thank you always appreciate your time. >> thank you. shannon]: up next what happens of president biden does step down from the ticket? live an expert to explain how this could play out. what obligation these pledged delegates under or are they when they show up at the convention questionnaire plus the sunday pellets of the landmines had democrats wrestle with how to move forward to duckduckgo on all your devie

we would not have to have this in the streets of chicago. [inaudible] shannon]: senator abraham at the chaotic 1968 democratic national convention in chicago but something democrats do not want to see repeated next month when they're back in the windy city. speculation president biden could drop out of the race has many wondering how his replacement would be chosen how a possible contested or open convention might work we have an expert established professor of history at marquette university allan lichtman welcome to the show. shannon]: him to start with th this. counter to popular belief the rules of the democrat party do not require pledged delegates

vote for biden at the convention. party rules require delegates votes reflect the sentiments of those who elected them at the time they cast their ballot too. democrat primary voters he said had one overarching sentiment we need a candidate who will beat donald trump. can you give us a sense of the delegates? what legal obligations or otherwise did they have present biden said. in fact to replace president biden based on history that would be a disaster to have a convention brawl. what do all of these politicians, political operatives and pundits have in common who are calling for biden to leave the ticket? zero track record in predicting elections. they all assured us. hilary clinton was bound to win in 2016. i do have a system 13 keys to the white house, which has been

right for 40 years. it shows how disastrous it would be for the democrats to have a big brawl and replaced biden. checks offered two of my 13 ke keys. incumbency and party contest. 87% of voters, voted for biden in the primaries. that means on my system at six of the remaining would have to fall to predict his defeat. on the other hand under this scenario they lose incumbency. they lose a party contest only four more keys would have to fall. they will be setting up the same situation that led to the election of donald trump in the first place in 2016. an open seat with no incumbent running and a party contest. you can go all the back to 1900. since at that time, under those conditions the party holding the white house has 10 times where

as sitting presidents and no contest have 175% of the time. all of this is being fueled by historical ignorance and not a real knowledge of how elections work. shannon]: professor will put you down for its more dangerous to give up the incumbency then move ahead with the man currently at the top of the ticket. we will see we get as we inched closer to the election thank you so much. >> thank you very much for this time for the sunday group democratic strategist meghan hays michael l and the hill nationhiltonnational clinical ra manchester and doug heye former rnc communications director. good to see you this morning but we know there's been a lot of pressure on present biden to step away from the ticket friday night sounds like is not going anywhere. there is a push from donors who are announcing they want to pull their money not just from the campaign but from other candidates who will not call for him to step away.

julia, how powerful could that be is a voice to convince him? >> is extremely powerful to the argument we have heard from the five houses democrats who've called on biden to step down this will have a down ballot affected. this week lawmakers are back on capitol hill we can expect a very wild week with reporters chasing around those lawmakers and staffers in the hallways they're going to be forced to answer this question, will you support biden in the long run? right now a lot of the lawmakers are back in their districts talking to voters a lot of the lawmakers we have talked to on the democratic side have said there is a real concern among voters there in a very tricky situation right now it is the risk of are they going to listen to those of voters who were telling them maybe it's time to call on biden to step down or are they sort of afraid of the retaliation they might get from calling on the president to step down? shannon]: have a group of donor

the "washington post" reporting they're putting together two millions audits have something akin to it many primary says they're pressing for open competition for the democratic competition that would draw public attention biden drops at the group is looking for robust debates rather than merely coalescing around vice president harris or another nominee. michael you heard the floating of the many primary idea whether that will be a better weight not only potential vice president harris but others who would then may be service her vice president xi is chosen the top of the ticket. >> can you imagine the chaos that would yield question because i'm guessing republicans would love it. >> the republicans would love it i think it is the great unknown for democrats. i think they cannot move forward and open convention with a truncated primary process. i think the question for them is dez vidoes vice president harriw any polling promise in the so-called blue wall states of pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin? if she is doing better or

incrementally close to where ton is i think then people begin to say she is a better bet and going of course with the open primary but even a better bet than going with the president. shannon]: okay there is this from wall street journal editorial board talking about democrats are in this position with the vice president and potential doubts about her ability because this is the path they chose saying democrats are on the risk of appearing to bypass the first minority woman vice president and a back room crew this is what happens when a party puts identity politics above governing experience and political skill. meghan how did she convince the folks she's ready for this job? somoza boulevard and voted for on the ticket in the primate she's already had the confidence of a lot of people. she also gets the money they have raised together. it will be income it would be consequential to not give her the spot. also she pulls really well against independent and moderate she has something, she did does not have the age issue going

against her like the president does and she pulled strongly against rowe. this will be one in the margins with the independent women the suburban women those of the women who coalesced behind her and that makes it really strong top of the ticket for democrats. shannon]: table of double haters we've had more than your we do not want this rematch what if they now have someone who is more palatable is not biden, scotsought trumpets a younger fresher face. she has been the four person on this abortion issue which is done well for democrats. >> the first movie sequels and's police academy 17 or something like that. [laughter] i like that because it might've been when your favorites voters do not want this. if we go back to the midterm elections democrats are better than expected in part because republicans wait overplayed the expectations game. if joe biden then had walked up and victories that i have delivered the white house. i have over performed and congress i'm going to go off into the sunset democrats would be in a much better position. the reality is there is no good

options they are damned if they do this to joe biden and damned if they don't. that is why you see so much nervousness about any reaction and with democrats and honestly republicans on capitol hill this week were going to hear a lot of democrats essentially echo republicans is that it did not see donald trump tweets they might not of watch the interview even though they did they do not want to talk about this they are very fearful of speaking out that's why we hear private things and public things. >> to the point about the interview want to play a little bit more the president was repeatedly pressed on whether he would take a neurological or cognitive test or exam and release the results publicly here as part of that. >> would you be willing to undergo independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognitive test and release result to the american people? >> look i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have had test everything i do. >> he said he's having the test every day by being president that ruth marcus writes this opinion piece over the "washington post," what is a reasonable argument other than avoiding politically

inconvenient result from not doing so? and the client of testing is not refusing to testify it can and should be used against you in the court of public opinion. >> i do not think it's going to help them if they go down this pathway. because then people of more questions about the test and can we see it in public. the real problem here is this is going to happen again it was not a one time i did not do wellin a debate unscripted format. they have a long way to go in this campaign and the white house has absolutely no plan to ensure the november election is not about joe biden, his age and his health. they are on a path to that and there's nothing they can do about it. unless they can string together several appearances, tried to get through this week by the way he is going to do a high wire act in a press conference on thursday afternoon. if they can get through that, get to the republican national

convention, figure who trumps vice president could be maybe they can steadied the ship for a while and hope they can get past. >> they are playing a time game here. obviously the debate was a disaster it took eight days for the interview to happen with george stephanopoulos that was not an accident six days later they're going to do the press conference for this is north carolina for cormorant stall offense. they want to run at the clock of this is where they may have success. shannon]: it they wind up with the vice president top of the ticket she will have to answer for all of these policies they are her policies to is part of this demonstration you heard byron at donald's florida congressman talk about the border she was made the czar and everyone thanks is worse than ever was she will have to answer questions about why, she so close to the present she did not raise alarm bells about his deterioration? like she's not raising alarm bells because the premise is wrong they do not think there is a problem here they are saying this was a bad night. she's on these calls talking with the middle east. she thanks he is capable and for

all accounts and all of the reporting she is standing behind him and saying that she also is going to abbott's answer for the policies on the border they try to put together bipartisan deal shut down might maga republicans. she also is that to fall back on just like the president does. several years before we got to that deal that fell apart. >> yes several years of trouble and just to the vice president again there is polling that would should suggest a sheet does a better against trump and a head-to-head match up than biden but the question for harris is, what does she do next? how long does she stand behind the president? she has by many accounts put on a very strong performance a strong front over the past week or so. that can be an improvement in her communication style or by design piglet she knifed joe biden the first debate we all thought there was a negative reaction. she may have more knives but she might there are a lot of knives in washington. panel do not love our brenda ruling this week and with the

♪ ♪. shannon]: this weekend federal judge put a pause on the carmel case against president trump involving classified documents.

that decision was directly linked to the supreme court immunity ruling just last monday. how does a decision by the justices affect all the pending cases customer care with answers fox news entered george washington university law professor jonathan turley author of the new book the indispensable right free speech in an age of rage. tom diprete former principal deputy attorney general. chatham and we can sto out stop meeting like this. [laughter] these legal problems are not going away at. [laughter] let's start with judge in the mar-a-lago documents case for deposits on the deadlines to say all right, we may allow the trump team to come back and argue the supreme court decision on immunity applies here. top ice and ttom ice and the prl argue everything there after it happened after he was president great success of the prosecutors are going to argue to be fair that mar-a-lago case probably implicates the immunity question a little less in a generally six case in washington d.c. here's the thing the supreme court and justice thomas concurring opinion questions the constitutionality of the independent counsel by the

special counsel. i think justice thomas although he's not writing for an audience of one, i promise to his words are going to be very carefully reviewed by judge cannon in florida. the trump team is a challenging the legality of jack smith appointment and i think judge cannon is going to read with justice thomas wrote when she considers whether smith was lawfully appointed. >> have the whole linchpin in that entire case he's got the case here obviously in washington as well. natural view says is combined with the fisher case throughout the main obstruction charges they generally six the rioters, the immunity decision tears the heart of the special counsel prosecution of former president for his conduct on that sorry day. what is left of this case the generally six case? ask what is left is a very motivated judge judge a very md special counsel. so i think you're going to have special counsel arguing this oppose into the second or third category played some of this may be official conduct but we can overcome the presumption some of

this is purely private conduct. he may be able to succeed threading that needle but some of his case is going to be knocked off. frankly those two opinions reap the wings off of this case he's going to try to get this down the runway nonetheless. i think in the end is going to take the biggest hit of all the cases i agree with tom in that regard. remember they have a right to appeal it's going to be very difficult putting aside what is lost in the mix, what is certainly going to be lost is the calendar is going to be hard to get this going before the election. shannon]: too that point "washington post" reports this they plan to pursue the trump cases past election day even if he wins saying if donald trump is elected president of the finish line for federal prosecutors' inauguration date not election day. people familiar with the discussion said that was cited and the finely trump team did in the documents case what does this information leaking out from the d.o.j.?

effective go right up to inauguration dave is elected with quickset so perplexing i get the point trump is elected his administration not committed to generate 20th. at the same time for jack smith to continue to pursue a case he knows is going to be extinguished at noon on january 20 seems somewhat harassing arguably abusive it's not as though his client built a jam eight trial into that several month window. even if he could does it make sense when the person you're putting on trial is the elected forthcoming president of the united states? does not make any sense to me i'll be surprised if he adheres to that promise. glad to see who gets elected and hat who was on the ticket first of all. a site but the state case that your case is been convicted 30 pork belly counts they are waiting sentencing, that is been delayed there would a reconsideration there and in the georgia case about whether this immunity decision undoes the state cases. plexus is going to have an impact on both of those cases. it really puts the lie to a

people are suggesting people like rachel maddow saying we may see death squads in the streets of washington d.c. we're not going to replace the democracy with a john wick republic after this opinion this opinion took the middle ground. the hearing in new york is going to show that. it's going to look at this and find much of it is private conduct and it is not protected but some of it does go to conversations held in the white house that could be knocked out. the georgia case will have a more significant degree. that case was a bit of a paddlers wagon. they threw everything into that indictment and some of that clearly will be impacted by what the court said. remember the court said this is about protecting not just conduct but conversations that the president has with other executive branch officials in conducting official duties. shannon]: speaking of conversations and communication want to ask you something about your new book the indispensable right free speech in the age of rage we talked about the

situation the supreme court did not rule on regarding communication between the administration in social media companies during covid during the election in 2020 say the first amendment was designed to prevent state control over media if their prior restraint and direct regulation. it is possible to state media by consent rather than coercion the government found willing allies in media and social media companies for a system of censorship and blacklisting base of the supreme court did not do there is no formal ban on that at this point. quickset is right leaves it to the political system. i am surprised donald trump and the other competitors of this race do not make free speech a central issue. joe biden is, in my view the most anti- free speech president since john adams you will remember john adam was defeated in 1800 on the basis and part of his attack on free speech. if what we have today is something that should be part of this debate it is an unprecedented system of censorship. it is supportable what occult

censorship by sarah get the government gets academic and corporate interests to silence critics and dissenting voices. shannon]: quickly before we go because of what we have got in current events going on, do you think the h you are reporting a vital be more of a push to release it now? >> has a great ironing you remember when robert hurt came out of his report that he would not prosecute biden he's an old man with the failing memory he was hammered by everyone in the democrats went crazy. turns out he might've had a point they'll be increased pressure to release those i see many democrats who let biden off the ticket to make that exact the push it will get that further out i suspect it's not favorable to the president if it were they would release it already. >> robert trent eight may be feeling vindicated these days. thank you so much. insight with the defensive for assisting forces sing the very n the ground it the war ravaged

shannon]: we await word on a possible cease-fire in the middle east we have inside view from gaza. fox news correspondent trey yingst embedded with israeli defense forces and traveled to rafah. they continue as a mediator's work on the clock trying to get the rating hostages released. trey yingst joins us live from tel aviv. hello. >> good morning today at mark's at nine months of war between israel and hamas. and direct cease-fire talks are set to resume this week we get a firsthand look at the fighting in southern gaza. israeli hummers roll passive piles of concrete and twisted

metal. a few months ago this was a civilian neighborhood. now it is a battlefield. >> are nowhere inside gaza southernmost city of rafah into the area of operation. it rages on. israeli soldiers continue to go after hamas above and below ground. with thousands of militants still alive throughout gaza there are questions about what the day after the war it looks like. >> what does victor look like for the israeli military? >> victory is our hostages coming back home. victory is our citizens are coming back to the border safe safely, victory means the enemy will not have the capability of doing another seventh of october but this is victory. with all eyes on rafah civilians run from the aftermath of an airstrike just 5 miles away in overcrowded un school was

targeted by israeli fighter jet. they need to put pressure on everyone to stop this war and this hostility one woman said. what is happening to us is unjust. we cannot bear it, we can't. if an agreement to end the war in gaza is reached israeli officials are hopeful it will de-escalate tension with hezbollah along the northern border with lebanon. shannon]: fsa look inside thank you very much to you and your team. we are back now with our panel. okay the middle east is one of the many things the president is trying to navigate here. national security journal had a piece after the debate saying his current condition is a threat to national security. sink biden's fumbles may have started a clock towards a war across the globe with adversaries and enemies having more than four months to exploit biden's apparent mental incapacity. michael does not apply in the case of hamas as well? are they looking at him whether

they do this deal? >> people around the globe are looking at present biden. honestly so our american voters. it's hard to believe he is going to be able to carry a message with a bilateral session. on hamas i think biden has been helpful to the position all along waving overly critical of israel. however we are finally on the verge of a deal. a hostage situation because israel is finally nearing the end of major combat operations. were not going to have any more war to finall violence ... agreh the united states and israel have endorsed and release the hostages sooner rather than later. it's part of the larger national security discussion on data week. >> here's what the president said about that coming here to

washington. >> i guess a good way that conference of the nine states this week. see what they say. be a lot of folks listening and watching on this thing the question is whether biden could navigate the complicated web of interactions over the three day event that involves nearly 40 leaders spread their entourage is a swirl of one on one meetings the pressure of being the most important nato leader at any misstep could spell political to doom. that's a live press comfort this week. cook the same interview he takes a cognitive test every day well i guess as an example of that this week. other foreign leaders are coming to washington this week. their eyes are going to be on the president. we have heard there is some concern. i want to go back to the ai

comment you mentioned earlier. that is a talking point essentially of the trump campaign. the trump campaign during his administration wer would not sik the ukraine where we were not sing the war in gaza so biden is going to have to very much push back against that because most of the trump campaign going on the offense how much pressure is coming along on one-to-one set f domestic politics. let's not forget this is not the first time he sent a nato conference is a something he does every year he was just in france for the normandy anniversary he was in italy for the g7 he meets with foreign leaders and goes over quite frequently this is not something new to me just press conferences at all these different trips abroad. americans are not paying attention most the time when he is over there these leaders know him, they work with him secretary blinken jake sells

national security team all are in contact with these folks this is not something new it just happens to be new because it's here in washington for people who are paying attention. >> makes me wonder if they won't note a difference in hand they've had the close relationships in the last three years. there's a different present biden now i want to make sure we talk about the uk because the election here, doug or just back from over there it is called the anatomy of a landslide the election has dramatically reshape elect britain's electoral map more than half the seats changing hands of living conservatives the worst defeat in the nearly 200 year history. it feels instant juxtaposition with a lot of what's happening in europe which is lame or right were watching the french elections today to pick what's a lot of what has happened has also been very anti-incumbent. when i was in london i was with several former senior members staffers for various recent conservative prime minister's. they were apoplectic at what

disasters they sell this to be and yes it was a big result for labor. that is because it was a cratering and what we seen the greens took a little bit here, the lib dems took a little here actual seats and obviously labor it is a huge majority but it's a thin one for labor. shannon]: brand-new prime minister it will be here as part of the nato meeting this week with the world watching the u.s. and more importantly the president. thank you very much good to see all of you. up next at present biden insists he is in it to when it will take a look at us pressure packed schedule coming up this week as he tries to convince voters and his party that he is up for another four years.

concerns from fellow democrats about if president biden should exit the race. this ahead of congress reconvening in washington this week. we heard from other house democrats earlier, five now publicly calling for president biden to exit the race. one house democrat says he wants to meet president biden face to face this week to see how he's doing. >> i would be cautious that if the white house, if the administration, if the president doesn't have that conversation with members of congress, with members of the senate, that you probably will see a number of folks starting to come out. >> reporter: and it's not just house democrats that president biden has to convince this week the that he has what it takes to do the job and to run for re-election. he's also hosting a nato summit in washington. he'll be meeting with 31 other world leaders or representatives of their countries in washington d.c. the president won't have to drive very far, it'll be right down the street from the white house. it's a critical week for president biden this week to show the country and the world he has what it takes to be commander in chief and lead the
