for his first television interview since that debate. there's so much at stake here. we want to get right to our senior white house correspondent selina wang with the latest. selina, good morning >> reporter: good morning, whit. the president is refusing to back down, but behind the scenes i'm told the president knows what a tough spot he's in and that these next few days could make all the difference. this morning president biden is defiant, refusing to step aside, even as more democrats openly call for a new nominee. >> i screwed up. i made a mistake. that's 90 minutes on stage. look what i have done in 3.5 years. >> reporter: the president meeting with democratic governors as he tries to calm anxieties after his disastrous debate. after the meeting, only three of the governors coming before cameras telling reporters the conversation was honest, focused on defeating donald trump in november and ended with one message. >> president joe biden is in it to win it, and all of us said we pledged our support to him because the stakes could not be higher.

>> reporter: sources tell abc news that biden told a group that after the debate he received a medical checkup and is fine, but during press briefings this week, the white house claimed biden had not received any medical exams in recent days. democrats are increasingly nervous that biden will lose to trump and koflt the party control of the house and senate. the white house pushing back. >> is the president clear eyed about what it takes to stay in the race and what it would mean for him to drop out? >> the president is clear eyed and he is staying in the race. i don't have anything else beyond that. he is staying in the race. >> reporter: sources say biden and vice president harris spoke to campaign staff on wednesday, trying to reassure them to move

forward together. the 81-year-old telling them, i'm in this race to the end and we are going to win. but doubt is spreading. second democratic lawmaker now says biden should get out of this race telling the "new york times" if he's a candidate, i'm going to support him, but i think this is an opportunity to look elsewhere. others increasingly frustrated by how biden's inner circle is shielding him. biden only speaking with top democrats in congress several days after the debate. >> he's got to show the american people that he can do this job, and he can't be wrapped in bubble right now. >> they've clearly fumbled this. >> reporter: fueling the fire, two new polls after the debate show biden falling even further behind trump. "the new york times" and "wall street journal" both revealing biden trails his republican rival by at least six points. with democrats in chaos, trump out golfing and this video that the former president put on his social account he falsely

acclaimed biden is quitting and bashes harris. >> she's so bad. she's so pathetic. >> reporter: and, guys, the biden campaign is firing back saying that what is bad is trump's policies and his behavior. his, quote, constant lying and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. in the coming days the president wants to prove that he is up for this job by hitting the campaign trail more and doing more interviews including with our george stephanopoulos friday. i'm told the president is well aware just how critical these next few days are. whit? >> whit: thank you. let's dig deeper with rachel scott, who's been covering both campaigns for us. rachel, good morning. >> good morning. >> whit: you've been talking to democrats behind the scenes. they saw what happened on the debate stage. they said that was not good. then they heard the president had not even reached out to top democrats on capitol hill. that wasn't good either.

at the end of the day this comes down to the american people. guess what? the polls that we have seen since that debate still show that president biden is losing to donald trump in a head to head matchup. they know the next few days are going to be critical including this interview. they want to see the president in another unscripted moment. you still have democrats on the fence. i was told senator joe manchin was going to call for the president to step aside. senior democrats talked him out of it. but if he does not perform well in this interview, i'm told by democrats we could see the number of democrats calling for him to step aside to grow. >> whit: the clock is ticking down to the democratic convention. we did see former president trump's comments in that video. how is the trump campaign responding to questions about biden's future and a possible shake-up? >> they are preparing for all scenarios. what if it's still president biden? what if it's harris? what fit's someone else? the trump allies are starting to attack vice president harris more. they're following the bouncing ball, what's happening as we're

reporting all of this with what's going on in the democratic party. the bottom line, whit. i talked to allies and sources close to the former president. they do want to see president biden. they have built a whole campaign bashing president biden. they want to it be him on the ballot in november. >> whit: we will see what happens in the next few days. thank you very much. we appreciate it. that interview with george stephanopoulos is happening on friday, tomorrow, with president biden. biden's first television interview since the debate. the entire interview will then air tomorrow night right here on abc at 8 p.m. rebecca? >> rebecca: a critical conversation with george coming up. all right, whit. thank you. we turn now to the other major story of the morning. hurricane beryl on the move after battering the island of jamaica overnight. faith abubey is son the ground in one of the hardest hit areas. good morning, faith. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. just come over here and take a look. it's a bit of an obstacle course trying to get around parts of the island this morning. road crews are trying as quickly

as possible to clear the area. there are downed trees, dangling power lines. the electric company says at the height of the storm, hundreds of thousands of people were in the dark. overnight, hurricane beryl slamming jamaica. wreaking havoc across the caribbean nation as a category 4, with winds up to 140 miles per hour. knocking down power in much of kingston. here in montego bay, we're really in the thick of it. the outer bands lashing the area, rain coming in as the winds intensify. extensive damage reported across the island. >> we are trying to create singular traffic. >> reporter: cleanup crews rushing to clear roads from fallen trees. many roads submerged. so far beryl's deadly path killing at least seven people in the caribbean. jamaica's prime minister saying the island has not seen the worst of beryl yet, with nearly

>> gio: it's unbelievable to see jamaica like that. faith, thank you very much for your reporting. let's bring in sam with timing of the track and where this is all going. you're also following the extreme heat. that's playing a role. >> sam: lot of stuff going on. we were shocked by beryl's growth and explosion in the warm waters of the caribbean sea. now we're losing strength on this storm as expected in the forecast. look how far it is away from jamaica. there's the cayman islands. already jamaica in much better looking skies. we watched the storm weaken as it continues to move to maybe two hits in mexico. looking somewhere near talumas. maybe a 1 here. then it will lose strength. now, the gulf waters. how warm is this? we just had a storm move through this so it's not as hot as you think it might be. it will strengthen but we could have one. we need to see where it's going to go. watch this high shift. that's the thing that's steering it. we use spaghetti models. we don't look at the individual lines. we look at kind of the idea where they all are. look at the northeastern coast of mexico.

here says, gio, the whole city's going to be enjoying 4th of july. >> gio: let's hope it stays that way with the celebration. aaron, thank you very much. now record holiday travel. if you're hitting the road this morning, you're in luck because it should be pretty quiet. but when it's time to go back home, things are expected to get very busy. victor oquendo is following it all at miami international airport. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, gio. one of the top destinations this 4th of july weekend. while today will be a little quieter, tsa is bracing for a record crush of travellers in the days ahead. aaa projecting more than 70 million people are on the move this holiday the most ever. while there are about 30,000 planes in the skies today, that number jumps to 46,000 tomorrow as travel ramps back up. sunday will be the big day to head back home. you can take a look at the new numbers from the tsa showing how many people they expect to screen. so here's some tips for those taking to the skies. get to the airport early, carry

first, matt gutman shows you what to do if you get caught in a rip current. look at this. >> reporter: i'm with the huntington beach fire department in search of what triggers more water rescues than any other shore line hazard. rip currents. powerful enough to pull a champion swimmer out to see. and from the sky, they can look almost other worldly. that's foam and churned up sand being sucked out to the ocean. rips can be deceiving. from an elevated spot on the beach, noah experts advise also looking for this. dark flat areas where the waves aren't breaking. >> those might look safe to swim in because that is what looks most calm. but that's actually the presence of a rip current. >> reporter: they're not always this obvious so don't just rely on your eyes. >> just talk to the life guard and they'll point them out. they'll point all the dangers and where's a safe spot to swim. >> reporter: and if you're caught in one, it's critical to know what to do, and hope there's a life guard nearby. >> come on.

>> i can't! >> reporter: aaron johns and her dad nearly died in a rip current in nantucket in 2015. it was all captured by a selfie stick wrapped around erin's risk. >> i used all my energy and i could not swim against that current. i didn't know what to do. >> reporter: even garrett, former marine, collapsing on the beach after being rescued. he was exhausted and just seconds from the unthinkable. >> i had no energy, no life left in me. it was the most terrifying experience i ever experienced. >> reporter: but 15-year-old matthew coker wasn't as lucky. he drown in a rip current in lake michigan while swimming with friends. >> matt was a good swimmer. we are more pool people. we don't go to the beach that often. >> they were knee deep. matt didn't know anything about rip flag warnings, rip currents. we need to understand that even though you need to know how to swim, you could still become a drowning victim. >> reporter: with that in mind, back in huntington beach, i jumped in. one of the most common mistakes

is trying to swim right back to shore by swimming against the current. the thing with the rip current is it's moving about as fast as an olympic swimmer. unless you're michael phelps, you're probably not gonna beat it. >> you're swimming against a treadmill. you're probably not even making progress. you're probably going backwards. >> reporter: the waves are crashing over your head. they start to exhaust you. and that's when it's harder to stay above water. instead, experts say the first thing to do is flip and float. this will help keep you calm. it's critical, since they say the first stage of drowning is panic. take a breath. this is when you have to time capacity to start thinking about your next move. the next move, swimming parallel to shore, following the direction of the coast line until you feel that grip stop pulling, or in my case, when you're out of that brown foamy water. then swimming at an angle back to shore.

if you can't get out, it may mean you're caught in a rotating current like this. in that case, just flip, float and signal for help. rip currents will take you out. they're not gonna take you back. you're gonna be okay if you just float. for "good morning america" matt gutman, huntington beach, california. >> gio: it's just so important to stay calm and swim parallel to shore to get out of it. let's bring sam back in. we know those rip currents. you're following where they are. >> sam: the flip and float thing i really, really like because it gets your head out of the water. it's so calming. it really is. it lets you make all the other decisions. heat's going to drive a lot of people to the water, not only on the gulf coast, but on the east coast as well. you know the same thing that's going on right now, that's driving beryl, this big area of high pressure. as beryl moves into the gulf, that means when water's rushing to the shoreline, it's also rushing away from the shoreline. that means life threatening rip

currents from the texas coast, well through new orleans, all the way through that florida coast line. usually the gulf coast has very calm water and we say it's great for kids. i just want you to watch it. on the eastern seaboard you can see that we've got moderate high and low areas. this is why, when you're vacationing, i don't like you swimming at a beach that doesn't have a life guard, that is a strange beach to you. please find a life guard. treat them like your concierge to the beach. walk up to them and ask them, where's the rip current? how's the water? has there been any sea life, marine life in the water today? they'll tell you, guide you where to go. it's one of the reasons i say, if you're vacationing someplace, make sure you have a life guard. talk to them. >> rebecca: shout out to the life guards on this july 4th. sam, great advice. appreciate it. we turn now to the megamerger between two of the biggest luxury retailers in the world. elizabeth schulze has the latest, and also how amazon is getting involved. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. happy 4th. this really would be a

megamerger in the world of retail. "wall street journal" reporting the parent company of saks fifth avenue will buy its rifle luxury retailer nieman marcus in a deal $2.7 billion. this would create a new company called saks global. unexpected partner in this deal will be none other than the online retail titan amazon, which would reportedly be a minority owner in the new company and would provide tech and logistic support. it's not clear if any products would be sold through amazon. the companies aren't yet commenting to us on this merge. both nieman and saks have been battling slow sales. lot of shoppers are choosing to buy directly from high end brands online instead of going to department stores. earlier this year we saw macy's announced it would cut jobs and shut down 150 of its store locations to adapt to the changing market space online and to underscore that shift, if you look at overall sales in the u.s., department store sales are down 2% while online sales

there has never been a b storm, number two named hurricane like beryl. never ever ever. first to be a cat 4. first to be a cat 5. first with rapid intensification this early in the season. grenada, where it hit, just coming off a 5. this is a little small chain of island. one of those islands had 98% of destruction. then it passed about 120 miles of jamaica. a sail drone is out there to catch these 27-foot waves. just look at the water, as rough as it is there. then we move across to jamaica. jamaica spent a day and a night under a cat 4 hurricane. there's a lot of damage from kingston to the south shore which came within this close to the eye of the storm. now here's the storm trying to find an eye again south of cayman islands. the forecast is for it to continue to weaken. let me tell you, it's still a 3. so this could be a 2 or 1 by the time it gets south of talume

friday morning. it is likely to lose some strength. they all do when they move across the yucatan. is this a 1 or 2? is it somewhere near brownsville, texas? there's a lot to watch for this storm. two areas of extreme heat. one along the gulf coast. this will spread to the east coast. then the record setting heat that rebuilds in the west again. gio? >> gio: you are following it all. thank you. now president biden facing new fallout from his debate performance. all eyes are on the president with these next few days very critical for his campaign. let's get right back out to our senior white house correspondent selina wang with the latest. selina, good morning. >> reporter: hey, gio, good morning to you. the president is refusing to back down. and this morning the president saying he had a bad debate, but that does not erase the work he's done over the last 3 1/2 years. you do have the president in damage control mode, meeting with democratic governors and his campaign staff, trying to calm those nerves. the president said he had a cold during the debate.

the white house now telling us after first denying it, that in the days after the debate, the president did see his doctor and that he was recovering well. the president is making very clear that he is staying in this race. sources tell us behind the scenes he privately told one ally he's, quote, keeping an open mind about the path forward. democrats are getting more worried that biden will not only lose to trump but could cost the party control of the house and senate. fueling anxieties are these fresh polls out that show trump's lead widening over biden. you have both "new york times" and "wall street journal" polls showing trump ahead of biden by at least six points. the president wants to prove he can do this job. he's doing more interviews, including with george stephanopoulos tomorrow. i am told the president is well aware how critical these next few days are. gio? >> gio: critical indeed. as you noticed our george stephanopoulos is sitting down with president biden tomorrow

for his first television interview since the debate. the entire interview will air in a primetime special tomorrow night at 8 p.m. rebecca? >> rebecca: all right, gio. thank you. now the latest on mortgage rates. they're on the rise. elizabeth schulze is in washington with those details. nice to see you. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. this is disappointing for home buyers who have been watching mortgage rates steadily drop over the past four weeks. average rate on a 30-year fixed up to 6.95%. that means your monthly payment on that typical $400,000 home is going to be $427 more now than it would have been two years ago when we saw rates closer to 5%. the big factor here is the federal reserve which, for now, is holding off on cutting interest rates. but there is positive news for anyone who is trying to buy a home or refinance on their current mortgage. freddie mac said it does still expect rates to moderately decrease in the second half of the year.

until then there's one thing you can do to try to increase your chances of a lower mortgage rate. that is boost your credit score. look at your credit report. look for anything that's inaccurate and dispute those bills that are wrong. a small bump in your credit can make a big difference when you're trying to buy a house. guys? >> rebecca: do the things that are within your power. just like the stock market, really tough to time that mortgage market. elizabeth, thank you. coming up in our gma morning menu, a reality check on those buy now pay later programs. >> gio: could those popular weight loss drugs cause you to lose muscle mass? what doctors are saying? >> whit: plus the eras tour travis way. what he's saying about surprising taylor swift on stage in london. and the troubled duo out of our wildest dreams, sam and will ganss.

many companies offer interest rate-free payment options without a credit check. it's an option single mom lori rogo doesn't hesitate to use. >> i love how the payments are split. usually into four payments. i like that it's automatically debted. i like the way companies keep up with the consumer. >> reporter: she's the practice manager for a pennsylvania plastic surgeon's office, where they've offered payment plans for almost two decades, which made her comfortable to use it personally. >> i try to use it 100% of the time on larger purchase and try to remove the credit cards completely. >> reporter: about one-fifth of americans have used buy now pay later in the last year. this year bnpl transactions are expected to reach $334 billion. money that isn't reported to credit agencies that's been called phantom debt. >> there is potentially a gap insofar as how many people are taking on this and how ballooned the debt problem is. for sure the plans are contributing to the growing debt

problem in our country. >> reporter: financial expert faruse cautions people to tread carefully especially if you're trying to build credit. >> you have to know the rules. you have to understand what the fees maybe associated late payment. if you are perfect and you paid it off in full in four installments, you did everything right. that's not going to help you build credit. >> reporter: but if you do opt in to bnpl, consumers should follow lori's lead, by opting into auto pay, staying within your budget and reading the fine print. >> i do find it easier to keep track of what i'm spending. just makes the process so much more simpler. >> rebecca: but always, like all financial products, read that fine print. if it's going to incentivize you to spend money that you don't have or don't need to spend, pull back. think about the psychology. it is trying to help you buy, but you have to do it in a smart

way. fun fact, guys. oldest buy now pay later, it was 1840. it was for a singer sewing machine. they offered $1 down, $1 a week. i don't know if any of you had a singer sewing machine. my grandma did. so maybe all of grandmas ended up getting that with their buy now pay later back in the day. fun fact. >> gio: that's great. very helpful, rebecca. thank you very much for that story. now our series weight loss revolution. this morning we are looking at the impact of drugs like ozempic and wegovy on muscle mass loss. becky worley has the story. >> i have struggled with my weight basically all of my adult life. i have lost and gained many times over. pretty sure i have tried every diet there is. >> reporter: tiffany from boise idaho said she started taking compounded semaglutide. while not a new fda concern,

some doctors have told their patients to be mindful of losing muscle mass. >> her goal is to make sure that it's body fat that's being lost and not just lean body mass. >> reporter: lean body mass includes bones, organs, water and muscle mass. multiple studies of traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise show 20% to 30% of total weight loss is typically lean mass. but in a study of people that took semagutide for 15 months the loss of lean mass accounted for up to 40% of total weight loss. >> we know that it can be substantial because so much weigh is loss. so it's important to protect against the loss roff muscle. >> reporter: novo nordisk points to the fact people who lose these drugs still lose more fat than muscle and they tell abc news its studies look at lean body mass and not specifically muscle mass. they add they work closely with the fda to continuously monitor the safety profile of their medicines because safety is a top priority. and eli lily, maker of monjauro

said a reduction of lean mass was reported at similar rate as seen with obesity. to protect against muscle loss, tiffany exercised with weight lifting and ate more lean protein. studies have shown those two actions help preserve muscle. tiffany also got body mass scans that showed she was losing fat and gaining muscle even on weeks when the scale didn't show any weight loss. that's because lean muscle and fat have such different densities. this is a representation of 5 pounds of lean muscle and this 5 pounds of fat. you can see there's a big difference. companies like bodyspec, that provide body composition scans are trying to bring the price down with mobile vans and retail location like this one i tried in san francisco. >> the machine will generate a report giving you your body fat percentage, lean tissue quantity, bone mineral content,

resting metabolic rate. >> reporter: some doctors recommend them saying they can help make those who have access more aware about muscle loss and gain. for "good morning america" becky worley, oakland, california. >> gio: thank you for that. that was a fascinating story. all right. time for some pop news. sam, what you got? >> sam: i can't promise you weight loss, but we do have good news for the box office. let's start with some super news. the buzz is high for the third installment in ryan reynolds -- this is like the bad boy of super heroes, the deadpool franchise. right? according to reports, it's set to make records. multiple tracking services saying three weeks out from the film's release, deadpool and wolverine is poised to make over -- get this number -- $160 million in ticket sales for its opening weekend alone. and reynolds and hugh jackman just kicked off their press tour in shanghai earlier this week. if this all works out, it will mark the best movie launch of 2024, even beating "inside out 2" opening weekend.

$160 million would also set a record for the best ever opening weekend for an r-rated movie. deadpool and wolverine hits theaters july 26th. and now, guys, travis kelce is opening up about his making the eras tour debut. hey, in case you missed it or you were living under a rock, you saw the images. he looks great in a tie and tails. during taylor swift's tour stop at wembley stadium, mr. kelce surprised the audience when he got on stage. obviously, fans lost their minds. so did we for weeks because it has been on my feed since then. >> rebecca: yep. >> sam: there's that white tie and sails look. kelce is opening up about his new heights podcast about how that moment really came to be. he said he first suggested it as a joke to taylor. check it out.

>> she started laughing. she was like, would you seriously be up for, like, doing something like that? i have seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here. and sure enough, she found the perfect, perfect part of the show for me to come in. the golden rule was do not drop taylor. >> no fumbles. [ laughter ] >> gio: i love that moment. >> sam: travis went on to tell his brother jason that he was surprised at how jarring the experience actually was with the crowd screaming, right? the sheer magnitude of the stage itself. you would think he would be used to that because he gets crowds screaming. he said he didn't disappoint taylor and that was all that mattered to him. i love those two. as to any future stage surprises, he left the door open for another appearance. meanwhile swift hits the stage tonight in amsterdam kicking off a whole weekend of performances in the netherlands. >> whit: in his head he was just thinking, don't fumble, don't fumble.
