that evening and welcome to politics nation. tonight's lead, battle for the black vote. a lot has been made of donald

trump's gains with lack voters ahead of the election. some suggest trump had more black support for president right now than any republican in decades. but this weekend in the swing state of michigan, trump held campaign events that reinforced how profoundly cynical, if not delusional, his idea of black outreach truly is. yesterday, the former president went to a black church in predominantly black detroit three days before juneteenth to tell a mostly nonblack audience that black neighborhoods are desolate and black led cities are corrupt. a common theme for the former president, who followed that up by keynoting a known white supremacist where trump told an overwhelmingly white right-wing audience that there black and brown friends in the u.s. are

hurting because of immigrants. so we start on the campaign trail of both the biden and trump camps. joining me from los angeles is msnbc's white house correspondent aaron gilchrist, and from detroit in d.c., 2024 campaign embed j trailer. jake, let's start with you. you were in the room yesterday with former president donald trump addressing black voters during an appearance at a church in detroit. it was a roundtable destruction featuring local leaders. the trump campaign also launched his black voter coalition group yesterday. the clearest effort yet, one that has overwhelmingly supported democrats in past elections. talk to me about how effective has the trump campaign been regarding this outreach.

>> yeah, reverend. it was a bit of a busy time on the campaign trail this father's day weekend. a big part of that was his pitch to black voters in west detroit, michigan. trump really attempted to differentiate himself from biden, specifically on the economy. he touted low unemployment for black americans in his administration. he also went after biden for his involvement in a 1994 crime bill that ultimately led to mass incarceration and disproportionately affected black communities. the largest claim that i want to note that trump said yesterday afternoon to that afternoon was that he was the best president for black americans since abraham lincoln. i want to give our viewers a chance to quickly listen to words that he said at that church in detroit yesterday. >> we are going to get your children jobs, we are going to make it possible for them to work. we are going to stop illegals from coming in.

your biggest threat are the illegals taking the job. threats as to security, too. so many of them come from prisons and jails, from mental institutions, and even insane asylum's. this is open knowledge that is being affected very badly, the back community. they're taking your jobs. >> reverend, we know that michigan is a key decider swing state. trump carried it in 2016, it's going to be key to an electoral victory for both of these candidates, and it indicates a really tight race come november. seeing trump launch the black americans for trump coalition is just an indicator of the efforts that are going to come as these candidates attempted to come over this key voting block in this crucial swing state of michigan. >> aaron, we are not unaccustomed to the former president saying things that aren't true. but unemployment other donald

trump went nine or 10 points over what it is now. the lowest rates in the past century are under biden during the pandemic, that trump mishandled. lack unemployment went over 16%. what is he talking about? >> well, i -- yeah, that is something that we frequently see from the former president. they are claims that don't necessarily match up to what is actually true. as you said yesterday, this wasn't specifically branded as an event toward the black community, but it very much was going into this community, a predominantly black community and attempting to outreach to these voters. just because those might be the facts, it doesn't necessarily mean that's what we are always going to hear from the former president. >> i just wanted to press that point. also, i looked at some of the

views, the shots that it was not a mostly black audience that he was talking to in the black church. that also i wanted to note. let's go to los angeles last night. president joe biden and former president barack obama shared the stage for a record-breaking democratic fundraiser. amongst the company of other mega celebrities, the campaign has said it raised some $30 million. president biden offered a reminder of what is at stake in november, especially when it comes to the supreme court. take a listen. >> the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees. two more. two more. he has already appointed 2 that have been very negative in terms of the right of individuals.

the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. i mean, never. i taught constitutional law for 9 years. this guy knows more about it than most. the fact of the matter is, this has never been a court that has been this far out of step. >> aaron, tell us about the highlights of that fundraiser and if there's any untruth said that you picked up. >> the q&a with former president obama really was the centerpiece of this celebrity packed event last night. they raised about $2 million more than originally expected. there was also a lot of comparison, as you might expect, to former president trump as he tried to make the case for why he should stay in the white house. he told this crew of a listers in hollywood the trump doesn't care what happens to ordinary people. he asked the two presidents about a wide range of topics. immigration, election interference, healthcare, among other things. the clip you played i think really was a key moment in this

conversation with president biden effectively saying that putting trump back in the white house threatens freedom, reproductive health, threatens same-sex marriage, all trying to drive home his frequent message the trump is a threat to democracy. >> back to you, last night, donald trump also appeared at an event sponsored by a far right group, turning point action, for the people's convention they called it. what was the reception to the former president at this event? >> i think you can probably guess what this reception would be for this group. turning point has become this really strong arm of the far right conservative side of the republican party, that specifically also attract a lot of young republicans. over the past weekend, this commission took place. everyone that spoke was essentially trump and everyone in trump's corner.

the main focus across multiple speakers, including the former president, was touting election interference in 2020 and continuing to talk about how the 2020 election was rigged. were also a lot of ambiguous calls to ensure the 2024 election is not rigged or stolen as a said happened in 2020. trump was obviously really well- received at this convention. but this is his bread and butter who, for the most part, do not believe in the legitimacy of the 2020 election. >> today believe in the legitimacy of the guilty verdict and 34 felony counts? >> right. the former president was quick to bring that up. i will note this, too. he on the campaign trail is frequently referencing this guilty verdict and often talking about what he says -- being indicted himself so other supporters are not indicted. he is saying he is a sacrificial lamb in their place. yesterday, trump was really specifically talking about the way he says, since he has been

indicted and convicted in this criminal hush money trial, his polling has gone up, and as you said earlier, regardless of the truth of it or not, he's in trying to frame this as, the more he's convicted, the more he will continue to fight. that's the message he shared yesterday, and his supporters very clearly received that message. >> we can argue that his polling has not gone up. aaron, what is the vibe coming out of the biden campaign after last night's event and heading toward the heart of the campaign season? with the debate under two weeks, and we expect to hear more from president obama? >> i would say the campaign is very pleased with the money that it brought in last night. you noted $30 million adding to this war chest that we learned already exist, $192 million that the democrats have going into november to win in november.

the hall that we heard about from yesterday really helps to add to the 150 campaign offices it already has. it helps to add staff, it helps to add to this growing library of media efforts to reach potential voters in battleground states and beyond. while we know that the president is about to hunker down to start to prep for the upcoming debate that you referenced on june 27th, there is another big fundraiser that is set for the very next day with the campaign wrapping up pride month in new york city with an lgbtq gala. we haven't heard specifically about the former president obama's appearances with the campaign. but he had said in the past that he fully intends to support the biden re-election effort and we will likely see him out on the campaign trail at bigger events potentially as we get closer to when voting will start in some places in september. >> thank you. aaron gilchrist and jake trailer. and while both campaigns are in full swing, we are less than two weeks away from a highly

anticipated first presidential debate set for june 27th. can we bring in my political panel, former democratic senator doug jones of alabama? he is now a distinguished senior fellow for the center for american progress and former republican congressman from pennsylvania. he is now the senior adviser for our republican leg. doug, donald trump has gone from his full-time trial and criminal conviction to full- time campaign. his attorneys are now fighting to terminate the gag order in the hush money case before the first presidential debate. and yesterday, judge eileen cannon set a date for 3 days before the first debate to hear arguments on jack smith's request for a gag order in the classified documents case.

doug, you are a lawyer. how unusual is it that trump may not be able to talk freely at this debate? >> it would be very unusual, i think, around this point. i wouldn't be surprised if the judge in the new york case, at a minimum, modify the gag order a little bit. because what the real problem is now, is that you all don't want to see the president calling for direct physical violence against any witness or anyone else. the fact is, everyone knows what michael cohen testified to, everyone knows what stormy daniels testified to. quite frankly, from a political standpoint, i would say if the former president wants to spend all his time dogging the two witnesses that a jury believed, so be it. let him do that. as long as we don't cross that line and get into some kind of threats. that's where the judge has the biggest concern, is someone would do harm to a witness or court personnel or a juror. >> the problem and the

difficulty with setting the precedent, is that it is a precedent. we now have a convicted felon running for president as one of the candidates of the leading bodies. the challenge in the coming days, president biden will unveil a new executive action that will protect thousands of undocumented spouses were married to u.s. citizens. what do you make of this? it is a strong showing of support as biden courts the hispanic vote? >> now, i tend to think joe biden knows he is in a very vulnerable position on border security. the number of people who have crossed the border unlawfully are seeking asylum has just been staggering. he knows he has a problem with the american public, and obviously he is getting a lot of pushback from his own base because the most recent executive action, he did take on asylum. so i think this was a move to show that he is compassionate, and he's trying to help these

partners, these spouses of people who are in this country. not sure that it's going to do a lot of good. he is really trying to straddle this issue as best he can, it remains a real political vulnerability for joe biden no matter how you slice this. i believe his detractors may appreciate this effort but are still going to be unhappy about the other executive order. >> donald trump continues to search for a running mate. senators marco rubio, tim scott, katie vance, and tom cotton are at the top of the shortlist. but names like ben carson, and congressman -- congress members byron donalds and elise the phonic are still being thrown around. let's listen to one of the top contenders, doug bergen, from earlier today, who recently had a change of heart on donald trump.

>> would you ever do business with donald trump? >> i don't think so. i would -- i just think that it is important, and you are judged by the company you keep. >> since january, when we endorsed him, when we dropped out of the first, we had a chance to spend a ton of time with him since january. i wish every american can see him the weight katherine and i have got to know him in the last six months. he's committed, he's smart, he's funny. he is nothing like he is portrayed in the press. absolutely i would do business with him. >> how well is he doing kissing up to trump? do you think he will be chosen as the vp nominee? >> you know, i think trying to get into donald trump's head about who he wants as a second fiddle, and remember -- this is going to be someone who cannot

possibly upstage donald trump. i think it's anybody's guess. i think it is really rather sad to see folks like governor bergen really do that kind of flip-flop, just so badly wanting to be on this ticket and to run for vice president. but they will do just about anything. arco rubio is doing the same thing. jd vance. it is just -- it is really kind of sad to see how people are just groveling for this job as opposed to touting their experience and touting what they could bring to the republican party that could stabilize the republican party that has gone so far back for donald trump. >> let's take a listen to some other vp contenders from earlier today. senator tom cotton and congressman byron donalds. >> if the president asked me to serve in any capacity, i would

entertain it. >> we will see what president trump decides. i'm going to support whatever he does. >> byron thinks that joy reid and i were tough to deal with. wait until he meets kamala harris. but among any of the names being floated around or not, would you think stands the best chance of being selected as trump's running mate? >> well, that depends on what donald trump hopes to get the vice presidential nominee. if you won't support hispanic voters more than he is now, you might select marco rubio. if he wants to make a greater play with african-americans, he may secure tim scott or byron donalds. if you wants to go after the female vote, we simply don't know. he might want to go to somebody like jd vance if he rents to really doubled down on the working class without a college degree vote. that is the maga base. he could move in that direction.

it's unclear what trump wants out of this vice president. i suspect it will be a very politically driven selection. of course, the candidate will have to be completely subservient to donald trump, donald trump is probably trying to figure out which candidate, which prospective candidate helps in the most with the constituencies he needs to improve. that's what i think right now. i am hesitant to make any prediction about who that would be, it would be one of those folks depending on which constituency he needs to help in november. >> i have to ask both of you this. you know how donald trump operates. he likes to deal with the element of surprise, and particularly if it keeps him out front. suppose he chooses somebody that we are not even talking about. is that possible? are there any names you can think of? >> you know, with donald trump, anything is possible, i think. he makes decisions. if you look back over in

history, he will make snap decisions, announce those decisions, and sometimes will make those decisions and have to walk everything back. i will not be surprised at all that someone could pop up that has not been mentioned, except maybe in the farthest reaches, who that might be is anybody's guess. again, i just think it is very difficult to try to figure out what donald trump wants from moment to moment with his vice presidential pick, with his campaign, or with anything else he is doing on his agenda. >> charlie. >> well, look. i can't get into donald trump's head on this. i think he will select somebody from the list of people you have already identified. i would be shocked if you went beyond that list, given the process. i get the donald trump is a ragged and undisciplined, but his campaign this time compared to 2020, 2016, seems to be a bit more disciplined. the campaign is more

disciplined, so i think they will stay to the list that we have identified already. i would be shocked, frankly, if you went off that list. away from that list. >> thank you for being with us. coming up, my juneteenth this year is an important event as ever. my take on it will be right back. back. ♪ ♪ have you always had trouble losing weight

this wednesday will mark the fourth year juneteenth is recognized as a federal holiday. it's a celebration of black freedom, black history, and a reminder of how far we have come as a country. juneteenth began in remembrance of the enslaved people in galveston, texas, who first learned of their freedom on

june 19th, 1865. two years after president abraham lincoln's emancipation proclamation. juneteenth's century and a half journey from an informal celebration among formerly enslaved black people to a national holiday was made possible by decades of effort from people 96-year-old opal lee, dubbed the grandmother of juneteenth, who last month received the presidential medal of freedom from president joe biden. this year, juneteenth is happening with the backdrop of a presidential election. president biden is vying for the black vote by launching a new outreach initiative, and the gop presumptive nominee, donald trump, is trying every trick in the book to peel off at least a few black voters. normally, a reliable group for democrats. some of those pitches are almost comically ham-handed, like

selling gold trump sneakers or handing out fried chicken sandwiches in atlanta. trump is not alone in this effort. black republican lawmakers are also hoping to appeal to black voters by bragging about their own success. meanwhile, while pandering to the selfishness of their parties white conservative voter base. this is evident by congressman byron donalds, who made incendiary comments about how black families were stronger under jim crow. this is not how we honor our history, by sanitizing it to make it see my things weren't as bad as they really were. the progress made by black people from the plantation field through jim crow to present day is owed to many unsung heroes who fought for our rights to be free. the true meaning behind juneteenth is to ensure we never forget our past. we must rise up not only to

celebrate the day of our freedom, but also to remember it came tinged with sadness, because our bondage was long and brutal, and our liberation came reluctantly and unevenly. we will be right back. lbogo. it only works from the other side of the screen, buddy. you still got a land line in your house. order now in the subway app. have you ever considered getting a walk-in tub? yo well, look no further! in your house. safe step's best offer, just got better! now, when you purchase your brand new safe step walk-in tub, you'll receive a free shower package. yes, a free shower package! and if you call today, you'll also receive 15% off your entire order. now you can enjoy the best of both worlds! the therapeutic benefits of a warm, soothing bath that can help increase mobility, relieve pain, boost energy,

the door may have just been shot on reparation for the last two survivors of the tulsa race massacre, when a white mob destroyed the cities driving greenwood neighborhood over three days, killing as many as 300 black residents. last week, oklahoma's supreme court upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed the survivors lawsuit against the state for the losses, further dampening hopes it will ever atone for one of the worst acts of violence against black people in american history.

joining me now is to marry o simmons, attorney for the survivors of the tulsa race massacre and their descendents. counselor, we appreciate you for joining us tonight. i watched over the last four years as the now two survivors of the tulsa -- your clients, many of whom you have had me meat, some of whom we've met, two of which you actually brought to action network in harlem. in this case, your clients, ms. bedingfield and ms. fletcher, have sought reparation from oklahoma to what happened in greenwood. you introduced me to them. with this decision by the supreme court, the state supreme court in oklahoma, is this the end of the road? if so, do you get a sense that said survivors are at peace with that, that they fought and kept fighting? >> always good to see you, and happy father's day.

so good to be with you. you been a champion in support of us every step of the way. obviously, we were devastated by this unjust decision by the oklahoma supreme court. we think they moved the goalpost once again, what the state of oklahoma has been doing for 103 years. survivors and victims of the massacre have been trying to get justice. this is not the end. i want to let everybody know this is not the end. your justice for greenwood, my amazing team, we still have some theories to move forward. in fact, we are going to file within the next 15 days a petition for a rehearing in front of the oklahoma supreme court. we want to explain to them that they need to give one more opportunity to get these right for these last two living survivors. 190-year-old nessie benefield randall and 104-year-old fletcher. this is were all your viewers can really help us.

we don't call upon the united states department of justice, kristin clark, the assistant ag for civil rights, to open a federal criminal investigation into the massacre. it has never happened. they have the ability to do it, and oklahoma has shown it will not do the right thing. we need the biden/harris administration to step in and provide some justice. >> you recall the media boost the tulsa massacre got a few years ago. joe biden, as president, went to tulsa himself personally. i was there. this is never happened with any president in the united states, to go to tulsa and address the massacre. what it was dramatized in a comic book, tv series, hbo's watchmen which aired just months before the protests of george floyd's murder, and to wake up four years later and see not just this decision on tulsa, and an evaporation of the

racial justice efforts that followed floyd's murder. when you think america will ever reckon with its racist past? >> at this point, like you said, we are taking five steps forward, five or six steps back. they are trying to take us back to jim crow. representative donaldson was trying to romanticize jim crow. my grandparents lived in jim crow. my aunt's integrated schools. my dad integrated schools, and i can tell you, it was fothem. and that's why if we can't get justice for the tulsa race massacre, which is the largest act of domestic terrorism in the history of this country, over $200 million in property damage, over 3000 people disappeared and never heard from again, you had so many homes and businesses, over 1500 destroyed, and two survivors who experience this as little girls, if they cannot get justice -- of the federal government cannot use its

influence and power to ensure justice, i am very fearful for our future as a country. i think this is a great issue for president biden and vice president harris to make this an issue. as you said, president biden came to tulsa. he promised my clients he would help them get justice. this is an opportunity for the vice president and the department of justice to step in and make sure they get justice and show that the white house cares about this issue, it is all a black america cares about justice. >> juneteenth has deep roots in black oklahoma. three days out from the federal juneteenth holiday, i wonder how you, as counsel in this case, assess where black america is right now politically in this election year. >> i think we are in a situation where i think we see what is happening here. we see what the trump group wants to do, what the maga folks want to do. we understand on an intellectual level. but we need to get that in our

bones. we need to understand that these people are serious. this is the end of reconstruction, where jim crow came. segregation was done to us very powerfully for over 100 years. we are standing on that precipice. i am calling for all of our people to make sure they get engaged in the political process, and that's why we need the biden/harris administration to get engaged in this massacre issue, to get engaged in our issues, continue to make specific policies and actions that benefit black america so we can go out and do what we need to do at the polls to make sure that we do not go back to jim crow. >> last question, the destruction of greenwood, or black wall street, as it is called, was fueled in part by white resentment of a thriving black neighborhood. as you have seen conservative activists going after black businesses that center black entrepreneurs, i mean they are discriminatory.

and as we see state prosecutors threatening even our biggest employers over diversity programs, dei under attack, will be picketing one of them thursday, the day after juneteenth, here in new york. as we see even federal lawmakers now trying to choke inclusion efforts that might benefit black federal contractors, are we closer to 1921 that we want to admit in terms of these attacks on black economic progress? we are out of time, but i just need you to answer that brief. >> no question. that is what is so scary about this time, and that is what is so scary about a decision like this, were these courts continue to erode not only our civil rights, our legal rights, and also our narratives. it feeds into everything that has happened in this country, and we need our leaders, we

need the president to stand strong on these issues, you need to make sure we win this election and we win by making sure we provide relief and protection for black people. >> okay. thank you for being with us tonight. coming up, we will talk with the senator from a critical swing state about election 2024. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. organic soil from miracle-gro has grown me the best garden i have ever had. good soil, and you get good results. look at that! the broccoli was fantastic. that broccoli!

welcome back to politics nation.

the contrast between biden and trump was on start display this weekend, and down races are heating up, too. with less than five months before the election. senator bob casey, democrat of pennsylvania, currently seeking re-election. senator, thanks for joining us. i know you participated earlier today and a juneteenth event in philadelphia, and we talked earlier about donald trump's itinerary yesterday in michigan recorded black voters in name only at a black church, because it was not a mostly black audience. but he only later went to the conference of the far right group turning point usa, which the anti-defamation league says is a magnet for white supremacy. meanwhile, president biden was teaming up last night with his former boss, barack obama for another record-breaking fundraiser.

contrast what this weekend says about the two campaigns right now. >> reverend, thanks for having me on and thanks for accommodating our schedule. we are running late from the juneteenth parade in philly and driving up to scranton. i think the contrast is evident. on our side, we talked about the issues that we are focusing on on juneteenth, among others, whether it is democracy and voting rights, whether it's women's rights, workers rights, and basic issues of justice, i think on our side -- and i'm going to be able to say this is a candidate, we've delivered over and over again, but we know we have more work to do. and the contrast couldn't be clearer on voting rights. every democratic senator will vote yes on the john lewis voting rights act. and other voting rights measures. my opponent and the presidential candidate, donald trump, won't vote and won't support those measures. when it comes to basic economic

issues, whether it's lifting up families with the child tax credit or fighting back against corporate greed and greed flirtation, when these big food companies and other big corporations are jacking up prices, which hurts low income folks and middle-class folks, we are the ones who are trying to pass a price gouging bill to fight back against it. but i think the contrast couldn't be clearer. everyone of us running has to earn the votes of all the people who are going to be casting votes, and i'm going to be working hard to do that. >> voter frustration and over inflation continue to straddle the president re-election bid. but specifically what you call greed inflation, were corporations artificially jack up their prices to maximize profits, and also what you call shrink inflation, where americans are spending the same, if not more to buy less quality. how are you and senate democrats trying to hold this

and check? >> i think a lot of folks who are living in low income neighborhoods and even middle- class neighborhoods have seen this for years, were corporations of jacked up their prices way beyond -- between july of '20 in july of '22, corporate profits were up 5% in america. that is five times the rate of inflation. taking advantage of difficult circumstances during and after the pandemic. the only way to stop them is, number one, two pointed out. number two, to pass a price gouging bill so the federal trade commission can go after them, but they don't have the authority to do that now. we need republican senators to support us on this. one way to get them to support us is to make sure we win the election, because that will give us some locket fuel on passing a price gouging bill.

and finally, to rollback their big corporate tax rate. they have these big corporate tax breaks, and all they do is stock buybacks and jack up their prices to the detriment of families. >> pennsylvania is expected to be a difference maker in this election, both for the biden campaign and for democrats hoping to retain the senate. you have your own senate race against republican dave mccormick. how would you describe the state of that race and were pennsylvania fits in the overall electoral pitch in 2024? >> well, it is very close. our race is close to the few points in the presidential race is close. in so many ways, it's all on the line in pennsylvania for the electoral college to win, for vice president harris to win, and for me to win to help retain the majority. we can't lose any senate races this year.

we have to make all of them. i'm really grateful for the support we received all across our state, especially from low dollar donors who are given 20 bucks a week or $50 a month or something like that. but we need to maintain that support, because reverend, my opponent is worth a couple hundred million dollars. it's already announced not just that they are going to spend 30 million starting in july, but it's all going to be attack ads. we know it's coming. if you want to help us win the senate race to maintain the majority and help president biden, please go to --.com. >> i know your campaign just launched this outreach. president biden is also heavily courting senior voters nationally. polls show favor for the president over donald trump. and dr. jill biden is also out on the trail as her husband's campaign opened at seniors for biden/harris for a push in battleground states. all the voters of favored

republicans for the last half- century. what is different about this election? >> because i think we have a republican track record. when they have power, when they have the presidency any senate majority or house majority, what did they do? try to privatize social security, they tried about your eyes medical care and try to decimate medical care. all three are critically important to seniors. the first two are earned benefits. social security and medicare. we have to make sure we strengthen and protect social security and medicare. when it comes to medicaid, it may not be an earned benefit, but it tells us who we are. we are supposed to take care of kids that live in rural areas in big cities who need healthcare, and it's also the program that allows families to get a loved one into skilled care, into a nursing home. so we've got to fight hard against republican efforts to cut programs like medicare and medicaid and turn the social security program into a

privatized venture. we got to stop them, but it's all on the line in this race. >> senator bob casey. thank you for being with us. up next, my message for father's day. thick with us. can neuriva support your brain health? mary, janet, hey!!
