7:02 am
pennsylvania. the reason is is candidates got to win pennsylvania. >> chicago tribune. all eyes on chicago. forever they felt conventions here in 1968 became back in 96 and now back again to make up a big splash and we are here today, hello and good morning which will be sensational. i didn't have a microphone then but it's hardly business as usual. after president biden dropped out of the race, the democrats were forced to throw out the playbook and now they are scrambling to shape party around harris, i would say it's going fairly well but her policies and platforms are starting to pose more questions and not a lot of answers.
7:03 am
>> the dnc getting ready for mass protests and there will be a lot of that. anti- israeli demonstrators and other groups who about to make their voices heard. michigan, minnesota and ohio, they will walk the streets and they are still debating to this hour where the permit will go for them and they may not be too far from our location which will bring a lot of comparisons in the chaos here during the dnc. >> lots of interesting parallels but also one of the ways people can organize with their phones, and makes things faster and go viral. for now, we often see this and political conventions and you can see the states we mentioned a couple of them, don't forget, oklahoma, virginia, tennessee. an important date with an important part right there. >> i saw arizona, the line of sites not great.

>> do think that is a message? [laughter] >> it's one of those battlegrounds as we have seen many times so welcome to our coverage, fox news senior white house correspondent jackie heidrick and also here, you got your work cut out for you. >> think what is fascinating is this is going to be the beginning of the president farewell to politics to her. white house aides have seen for months for tomorrow say is going to frame his decision to drop his bid for a second term as a sacrifice for democracy under threat of a second trump presidency. the language paints a picture of a president who put his country first but also he needs to shape the narrative of his legacy so there at the them sweep rev reviewed, battling for the soul of the nation, overcoming inherited albums with legislation and his record is at stake so interesting to see how and where harris diverges from
7:05 am
biden's agenda especially because she's serving as his vp still. economic policy rollout was off right indicated her general approach builds off biden's platforms and in some areas expands further. proposal to empower the ftc and crackdown on food price gouging shows she's going to do new things and embrace this plan to make greedy businesses that back i as voters struggle but the party cannot look to the future without taking stock of the past four weeks and there will be tribute throughout the convention but he's not hanging around to take part. after his speech he's leaving town and what the white house is framing as symbolic changing of the guard and reports is not eager to smooth things over with the heavyweights who have to push them out in the new york times columnist writes it's going to be a glorious donation except that everyone is mad at one another. top democrats are bursting with resentment even as they are
7:06 am
about to put on the front of the united center in the windy city. democrats agree vice president played the situation well, she stayed in her lane with the president was facing pressure to drop out and support and enthusiasm now is genuine but all that front hits an icy patch with his laws. >> interesting because you have 93% of democrats saying thank goodness, we are so glad for this change but six weeks ago, all of the democrats were saying biden is our guy, he's fine, no problem. 67% of people as an hour poll do believe kamala harris knew about his mental decline, and ability to serve another four years. they are going to paper over that but president trump i think they will continue to say, what else will she not tell you about? >> i think they will paper over with discussion that the threat trump poses. that is the red that ties the two together.
7:07 am
biden told platform was i'm the guy to beat him in the party has moved on, they said with got better person to do it. the goal remains the same so they could stay united there but privately, it's going to be sensitive. >> i really think that is the thing here, he's going to say my policies are working and she will continue my policies. that will be monday. where are we going to be on thursday one week exit chicago? >> we don't know what the speakers are going to talk about. we've got obama, hillary cli clinton. of course harris, we don't know if she will outline a new agenda or not but we think the remarks this week will focus on remembering the president and thank you, joe. >> and to have to leave, it will be hard for him to follow but then they move on and he says that the capacity to handle the next four months. you will be working a lot and we

7:09 am
>> the media covers politics in this country but i've never seen anything this level. the courage of kamala harris is unbelievable. i think now that she laid out a piece for economic program and they laid an egg, might have begun to turn. they need to do much more searching and aggressiveness. >> of wonder that, to from the reaction across the board. they been in her back pockets since the beginning and it almost felt like the fever broke, i don't if it has entirely but 103-2102 but donald trump on that yesterday, he was in pennsylvania and i will play this clip for our audience. >> she says she's going to lower the cost of who's in housing on day one but they want for kamala was three and a half years ago so why didn't she do it then? this is day 1305, we are at 1305
7:10 am
so why isn't she doing it now? go to washington, you could do it right now. >> fair. >> trump has been engaged in attacking her with broad generalities, that's a little better in terms of specifics but she has a list of policy decisions, which she's trying not to abandon. they are quite shocking. she is a self-confessed radical and says we need to be woke and the policy positions she's taken on fracking to god knows what else, quite extraordinary and extreme she's moving away from them but most of the moving weight is not done by her or her mouth, it's coming out of anonymous campaign aids so can we really believe them? trump could go after that. >> what's interesting was trump was gaining on biden, democrats recognize that and she said
7:11 am
biden, you have to go. you have covered joe biden for many years, what you think is going through his mind as he prepares to put a period at the end of this political sentence? >> i think he's disappointed but i think he's come to terms with it and it won't be so bad secret service protection to spend your summers with your feet up on the beach. life on retirement for him should be pleasant. but there is relief from responsibilities and burdens he carried. >> are you happy to be here? >> i am happy you are here i just want to say i am this short and i am wearing heels. >> i said how will joe biden feel about this? he goes it's fine. out with the old, in with the new.
