♪♪ good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific. i'm jose diaz-balart. we begin with donald trump accepting the republican nomination for president for the third time, as president biden faces growing calls to leave the race. two people familiar with the discussions tell nbc news members of the president's family have discussed what an exit from the campaign would look like. this comes as a new biden campaign memo obtained by nbc news says the president will remain at the top of the ticket, arguing voters are still backing him, despite concerns over his age. and that the party has, quote,

no plan for an alternative nominee. a source close to the president telling nbc news, quote, in 2015, obama, pelosi, schumer pushed aside biden in favor of hillary clinton. they were wrong then and they are wrong now. behind the scenes, a person close to the president tells nbc news, quote, we're close to the end. and two sources familiar with his thinking tell nbc news, the president feels personally hurt and betrayed by establishment democrats in washington. with us now, nbc news white house correspondent allie raffa, in delaware, ally vitale, and tyler pager, white house reporter for "the washington post." allie raffa, a lot going on in regards to the president's political future. where do things stand right now? >> reporter: jose, you mentioned the split screen between what is happening with republicans and democrats right now. but we are also seeing this

stark split screen between what the biden team is portraying publicly to voters and what we know to be happening privately within president biden's inner circle, as he remains here in rohoboth beach recovering from that covid-19 diagnosis. we heard from jen o'malley dillon this morning on "morning joe" and she admitted this has been a rough few weeks for the president's campaign after that poor debate performance. but she vowed that the president is staying in this race to win it. she even said that the campaign has multiple pathways to victory. listen to more of her conversation here. >> joe biden is more committed than ever to beat donald trump. and we believe on this campaign we are built for the close election that we are in, and we see the path forward. the president is the leader of our campaign and of the country, and he is clearly, in our impression and what we've built and in our engagement with

voters, he is the best person to take on donald trump and prosecute that case. >> we lost allie raffa. we're going to re-establish communication with her shortly. tyler, meanwhile, two sources familiar with his thinking tell nbc news former president obama has concerns about president biden's ability to stay at the top of the ticket but feels personally protective of him. what more do we know about this involvement and position by the former president? >> yeah. barack obama finds himself in a delicate situation here, obviously played a significant role in 2015/2016 in encouraging then vice president joe biden not to launch a presidential bid in 2016. so, obama sees himself more as a sounding board, as a counselor, telling allies he's concerned. his primary concern is joe biden's well being and his legacy and protecting his accomplishments but also obama telling his allies that he's concerned about the president's path forward and saying, you know, that path to victory has

greatly diminished and needs to seriously think about his viability as a candidate. and this comes as part of this larger conversation among democratic leaders about this deep seeded concern that biden is not able to beat trump in november. that is the animating fear that is bringing democrats to this point where we're seeing increasing numbers of lawmakers call for the president to step aside. and that is, you know, the conversations that are dominating right now. but ultimately, obama has told allies, look, i can't get him out of this race. this is a decision that joe biden needs to make for himself. despite some pressure and desire from democrats that obama make the hard sell to biden, the two men have only spoken once since the debate and obama is being very clear that this is not a role he is going to play. this is a decision for joe biden to make on his own. >> allie, meanwhile, the number of democrats on capitol hill asking for the president to step

aside increases. >> it does. and not just last night with senator jon tester, who's in one of the marquee senate races this cycle. tester, of course, came forward last night and said he didn't believe that biden should be the nominee any longer, asking him to step down. and now, as i've been on the air with you, i've been texted this statement from four house democrats. they include jared huffman, marc veasey, chewy garcia, and mark poe pan. all of these four members on the same statement saying in part that we must face the reality, in their words, that widespread public concerns about your age and fitness are jeopardizing what should be a winning campaign. we believe the most responsible and patriotic thing you can do in this moment is to step aside as our nominee, while continuing to lead our party from within the white house. it's significant, jose, because our understanding, at least in my conversations and the conversations our hill team has been having with our sources in the last 24 hours, is that there

is a sense here of not if biden will step down but when among democrats on capitol hill. that's a real sense of shift over the course of the last 24 hours, especially since we saw those leaks from leadership meetings that jeffries and schumer both had with president biden in recent days. but it's also the first time we have seen multiple members, sort of, jump together on a joint statement, although we've been tracking more than 20 democrats across congress who have so far said that biden should step down. this does seem significant to me, as we've seen members do this on an individual basis. but now we are watching four members do this together. and i think we need to point out here, someone like mark pocan really catches my attention. he's someone who is a more senior member here. he is the former head of the powerful progressive caucus. that could mean that other members of that caucus might see this as a window into what some of their more senior members are

thinking about. all of this kind of leads us to next week, where, in my reporting, the understanding is that if there's not movement from the president on stepping down from his role as the party's standard bearer, i'm told there could be a bigger push from lawmakers when they come back to town on monday or even tuesday to make it clear to the president that they respect him, they want to protect his legacy, but they also don't want him to be their democratic nominee. >> and ally vitale, you also mentioned there chewy garcia, who is also a member of the progressive caucus, also a member of the congressional hispanic caucus. we're going to be speaking to the chair of the hispanic caucus in just moments. but that's an interesting addition to this list. there have been very few latinos. i think arizona congressman would be the only other member of the congressional hispanic caucus that is calling for the president to step aside on his

re-election campaign. progressive caucus members, very few up to now. >> i think as we watch all of these different caucuses, it's also noticeable the fact that bold pac, which is the campaign arm of the congressional hispanic caucus, as i know you know, just came out this morning in endorsement of president biden's re-election efforts. that's something that his campaign chair was touting this morning on "morning joe." it is a sign that while that caucus might be by and large behind him, that is also a place where, unlike the congressional black caucus, where we saw immediate and full throated support for the president, the chc took a little bit more understanding. and my understanding and reporting is there was a little bit more dissension in their ranks around the idea they would knee jerk, come forward, and continue to back the president in the aftermath of the debate

performance a few weeks ago that really touched all of this off. it's been a rolling wave here on capitol hill. i think many people looked at this past weekend and the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president trump and thought maybe these efforts would be quelled. maybe they would be frozen. maybe they would be done altogether. and then we saw congressman adam schiff, who's vying for a senate seat in california, come out. many people thought that could have been something that signalled where former speaker nancy pelosi is on this. i think what's hard about this story for people who don't live and breathe congress is that this is something that is really happening behind the scenes. and many members have been reluctant to come forward and put their name out there as going against the president of their party both for political reasons and for personal reasons, jose. there's a lot of members here who look at what happened during the build back better agenda, the infrastructure package. they saw so many of their essential ideas and essential policy positions put out there in legislative form under

president biden's governance and under his leadership. none of those thoughts are far from mind, even as they have these really panicked concerns about his ability to lead going forward. >> allie raffa, ally vitale, and tyler pager, thank you so much for being with us this morning. now to continue our conversation, washington congressman adam smith, top democrat on the house arms services. it's a pleasure, as always, to speak with you. you were among the first lawmakers to call on the president to step aside. what specifically do you think merits the president of the united states of america, who received 14 million votes in the primaries, won nearly 3,900 delegates, not to run for re-election now? >> two things. one, what became clear in that debate and what we were worried about even before the debate and what has been even further clarified since the debate, the president is not capable of delivering the message in an effective way. and i -- i don't see how anyone could debate that. there have been countless

examples even since the debate, makes it clear that the president is struggling to run a schedule and be able to do interviews and give speeches and really prosecute the case against donald trump. if you watch that debate and you're a democrat and you're just somebody who thinks donald trump doesn't belong back in the white house, you watched that debate and the guy on the stage, joe biden, he was your champion. he was the guy who was going to stand up to donald trump and stand up for the agenda that we want. and he could not do it. and it wasn't that difficult. trump was lying constantly, leaving incredible openings that any average mediocre debater could have stepped in and used. the president couldn't do it. since then, he has still struggled to do that. so, that's number one. it is clear at this point he cannot deliver that message. after that rambling, insane speech that donald trump gave last night, my goodness, if we just get a candidate who can stand up and deliver our message, we win. and number two, the questions

about the president's health continue. i mean, you've seen the white house press briefing since that debate. that dominates the discussion. the white house has not been completely transparent about that situation. those are all distractions from what this election should be about. it should be about the danger of donald trump and the promise of our political agenda on the democratic side. as your reporter mentioned just a moment ago, you know, joe biden has done a great job as president. i want to deliver that message. i want someone at the top of the ticket who's going to deliver that message. and what we have learned is the president can't. as far as all those people who voted for him, as i say, go back, play that debate right before any of those 14 million people vote, and do you think they'd vote differently? i do. circumstances have changed since those elections happened. democratic party has a process. we have delegates. we can nominate our candidate that we want. it doesn't have to be any one

person. and i just implore our party to see this. and one final point -- you give me a lot of time here. i respect that. if we are at this point in the campaign and the president is struggling to maintain democrats on his side, if their argument is, well, we think we can get a majority of democrats to be with us, at this point in the campaign, that answers the question. it is just not a viable campaign anymore. and we have better options. we need to take them. >> congressman, among the things you mentioned, you say the white house has not been transparent. what is it about the president that you think the white house has not been transparent about? and i mean, as a public figure, we've seen him for three and a half years, it's not like, you know -- so, what is it about -- >> i can answer your question. >> -- his campaign that has not been transparent. >> he had a physical in february. after that debate performance,

people were genuinely concerned about his health. what needed to happen at that point, they needed to say, okay, we're going to come in, we're going to do a full, honest health assessment and we're going to release it to the public, and we're going to let you know. i understand every candidate can't do that. frankly, i'd like to see the same thing done by donald trump. after that performance last night, i think that is a worthy concern and a worthy thing to be done. but if you were going to try to reassure voters across this country after that debate performance, that's what you should have done. and they didn't do it, okay? they have not given that independent health assessment. those questions continue to be dogged. and, again, if everyone was like, if we just stopped bringing it up, if democrats stopped talking about it, everything would be fine. after that debate performance, after the presentation since then, the country's bringing it up. my constituents are bringing it up. this notion that somehow it's just elite democrats, it's the grass roots. people calling me, texting me, emailing me. this election is too important.

we need to have a strong person out there who can deliver our message because, again, our message is really good. we should win this election. let's put somebody up there who's going to deliver that message strongly so that we can win this election. >> congressman, you said that the president struggles to even run a schedule. if he struggles to even have a schedule, do you think that he should be president right now? i mean, according to you -- >> he struggles to run a campaign schedule, okay? he struggles to run -- look, campaigns are hard. i've seen people run for president. i remember bill clinton at the end of the '92 campaign or '96, i can't remember which one, his voice was gone. they flew him around. he had been on the road. he'd been giving speech after speech, interview after interview all across the country. and i've said this before and i'll say it again. i think joe biden is perfectly capable of being president. running a campaign in this

environment is a whole different thing, okay? it is incredibly demanding in this environment. and that is my point. you know, i mean, you're out there giving speech after speech, flying all across the country. you know, i mean, to deliver that message, that is a higher level than doing the job as president. again, i will emphasize joe biden has served this country incredibly well in multiple ogs approximates and in particular has president. he's been a great president. and i'm happy to support that. i want his message to get delivered. and we need a different person to deliver it. that's my only point. >> congressman adam smith, thank you very much for your time. very much appreciate it. just this morning the campaign arm of the congressional hispanic caucus released a statement on the race for the white house. let's talk about what it said with the chair of the hispanic caucus, nannette barragan. first, an update on a massive tech outage impacting everything from banks, hospitals, airports. it is a mess.

we'll ask how this major global disruption actually happened in the first place. plus in the longest speech in rnc history, former president trump addressed the assassination attempt that almost claimed his life. and a whole lot more. we're back in 90 seconds. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports on msnbc. g jose diaz-bat reports on msnbc from pep in their step to shine in their coats, when people switch their dog's food to the farmer's dog, the effects can seem like magic. but there's no magic involved. (dog bark) it's just smarter, healthier pet food. it's amazing what real food can do. [coughing] copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty

and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open and prevents future flare-ups. and with one dose a day, trelegy improves lung function so i can breathe more freely all day and night. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnsingle content hhhhhhhhhhhhhh singlehhhhnsingle content conten update. the ceo of crowdstrike spoke to "the today show" about what he thinks happened. >> the system was sent an update, and that update had a software bug in it and caused an issue with the microsoft operating system. and we identified this very quickly and remediated the issue. it wasn't a cyber attack. it was related to this content update. >> so, one bug destroys the whole system for some time? joining us now is nbc's brian cheung. brian, good morning. what happened and how long are these outages going to last? >> jose, that's essential what

happened. you mentioned two names there, crowdstrike and microsoft. crowdstrike, which is a company that provides cyber security software, was trying to send an update to windows computers. this did not impact macs or other types of computers. but apparently something went wrong and it took down a bunch of these computers. you're seeing the blue screen of death ahead of you. it's impacting airport boards. what that blue screen says, in some cases they have a sad face, and it says you basically can't log in. if you can't log in, you can't do anything. you can't issue a ticket pass. you can't access patient records. if you're a hospital, you can't get your day started to even check your emails. that's the reason why this was such a big deal and stretched across not only many type of industries but across the world as well. a major deal when you consider that crowdstrike, by some measures, by at least the sum ore of 2022, having about an 18% market share in end point security for types of businesses

like airports, including even newsrooms. sky news, our partner in the uk, as well as nbc news had issues logging in this morning, inability to get graphics up in some cases, a serious issue that underscores the fragility of the overall technical infrastructure that we have globally. so, very alarming situation. i want to emphasize, crowdstrike says this was not a hack and that they're trying to get everything back online. >> important, brian. i mean, here at telemundo center in south florida, where we have the top of the line, crazy technology studio, i had to be right here this morning because, quite frankly, there's issues with that. brian cheung -- >> and you get a sad face. >> thanks. we'll be monitoring developments on this outage. thank you very much for being with us. now back to the race for the white house. tomorrow in michigan, former president trump will have his first rally since the

assassination attempt against him. also the first rally since naming j.d. vance as his running mate. trump accepted the nomination in the longest speech in the longest speech in the history of the republican national convention. he addressed the assassination attempt, among other things. >> i heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear. if i had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark. i'm not supposed to be here tonight. i'm not supposed to be here. >> [ crowd chanting ] yes you are. >> joining us now from milwaukee, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard. also political analyst, brandon buck, former press sec nare for house speaker bainer. the former president started his speech with a call for unity,

but it certainly didn't end that way. and there was a whole lot of time between the beginning and the end. >> let's put it this way, jose. it was quite lengthy. so, it's kind of hard to condense it all into a defined few seconds here. but i think if you can look at this as two parts. number one, you have the moment where he described the -- last saturday afternoon and the near death assassination attempt on his life and surviving that. and he gave tribute to corey comperatore, who he paid tribute to with his fire gear that he had up on stage. and during that moment, when he kissed the helmet of the man that was killed at the rally, he went and gave that moment to great applause in the arena, and there were tears throughout the arena on many of the delegates' faces. i think when you look at that moment -- and you heard donald trump suggest that americans should unify and come

together -- it was a more subdued donald trump in tenor. there was not as explicit attacks on president biden. when i say there's two parts to it, though, there was the other extended part of donald trump's convention prime-time remarks. and that was not a departure from who donald trump has been for the last nine years. and that was him calling for the charges, the criminal charges for him to be tossed, him referring to cheating in elections, him praising the lights of hungarian prime minister viktor orban. this, for donald trump, was also suggesting that there would be mass deportations, stricter immigration enforcement. so, there was little in the form of, i think, moderating the maga agenda that he has pushed. but instead for donald trump, a suggestion that there should be a stand down of the attacks that he has perceived to have taken place politically against him.

of course for donald trump, the country beared witness to just four days before this convention speech his life nearly being taken from him. and clearty tenor of which donald trump just over three months out was not one of calling for retribution or revenge, like we have heard for the last two years, but one that was more focused at least on the policies that he has long touted that he would try to implement, come 2025, jose. >> yeah. i mean, brennan, this was one long speech. you know, it came after days of a tightly scripted rnc, and it seems as though trump started with a tightly written speech but then went off on a lot of tangents. how do you see that speech having an impact? and how do you see the assassination attempt at all

changing trump or his campaign? >> big picture, this was unquestionably a successful convention. i mean, republican wrs enthusiastic. they were all on the same page. they avoided that issues that don't play well for them and focused on the issues that do play well. trump's speech was not a game changing speech, but he didn't need a game changing speech. it was more successful and notable for what it wasn't. it wasn't as angry as it can be. it wasn't as scary as it can. it wasn't as dark as it sometimes is. there's a lot of people looking at the party, there's a lot of enthusiasm. is it okay now to go along with donald trump? i think what they were trying to do all week is give permission, say, it is okay. this is not a scary person. and obviously projecting strength. it was a very long speech and he stuck in to the very end, you're probably a die hard trump voter anyway. the first 30 minutes, the most

compelling part, retelling of that story i do think helps him. it makes him a more human figure, and that's probably the part that most people were actually watching. so, they come out of here on a complete glide path unless something dramatic changes, and we know there could be potentially something dramatic changing. but right now they're very happy with how this week went. >> we're just learning donald trump is going to speak with ukrainian president zelenskyy today. >> right. nbc news has now learned that today donald trump will be speaking with the ukrainian president zelenskyy. this is notable for obvious two reasons. number one, it was four years ago ago -- five years ago, i should say, that donald trump had that infamous phone call with the ukrainian president in which he implied that u.s. support to ukraine could be held up if zelenskyy did not agree to have his administration investigate the biden family. and of course that led to donald

trump's impeachment in the u.s. house. and i think the second part of the obvious implications of this is the fact that donald trump could very well win the presidency in november and take over the white house on january 20th. and there is no indication at this time that russia's military operation will seize in ukraine. and donald trump has openly questioned whether financial aid should continue to go to ukraine. j.d. vance has explicitly suggested that he does not care what happens to ukraine and that financial aid should seize to the country from the united states. and of course donald trump has become a close ally of viktor orban, who really has been a key critic of expanding nato and continuing for the eu to provide assistance to ukraine financially. so, there was a lot on the line

for zelenskyy and ukraine, understanding that the second trump administration were to come into power. so, clearly these two individuals, these two men, are jumping on the phone here with still three months on the general election, understanding the major implications the trump presidency could bring to the region. >> vaughn hillyard and brandon buck, thank you. up next, breaking news out of russia, where there is a verdict in the case against "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports ones in nbc. g jose diazt reports ones in nbc.

. 34 past the hour, we're following breaking news out of russia, where american journalist, evan gershkovich, has been found guilty of espionage. the judge -- 16 years of imprisonment in a maximum security prison. gershkovich and his employer have condemned the charges as a sham. nbc's josh lederman joins us with the very latest. josh, what happens now? >> jose, evan gershkovich will be taken back to the detention facility where he has been held for more than a year since his arrest, as we await word on whether his legal team is going to appeal this verdict. we have asked his team. they are not commenting at this point in time. but there actually may be a reason that they could choose not to appeal this, not to drag this out. now that there is a verdict, the

conversation really changes to the possibility of a prisoner swap with the russian government acknowledging that there are ongoing u.s./russian conversations between the spy services about some potential prisoner deal in which evan gershkovich could potentially return to the united states. now, we heard today from president biden in a statement, where he not only praised the remarkable strength of evan gershkovich, but said there is no higher priority but to bring gershkovich and other wrongfully detained americans home. just in the last few minutes, we heard secretary blinken speaking in aspen about those efforts to try to free him from custody in russia. take a listen. >> wherever they're held. and of course when it comes to evan, when it comes to paul whelan, in russia, other americans, we're working it, quite literally, every day, looking to see what we can do to get them home. we've had a rather extraordinary track record over the last three

and a half years of doing just that. >> now, trying to get an actual hostage and prisoner exchange deal between the u.s. and russia is something that could take months. it could take years even. that is really raising the question of whether this could even still happen during the remainder of president biden's current term. in fact, blinken, in that conversation just there in aspen, was asked, what about the possibility that president putin might see the possibility of donald trump being elected and decide to hold off so that he could strike a deal with president trump if he's elected? secretary blinken saying he does not believe the timing of a possible deal would be necessarily dependent on the outcome of the u.s. election. but you can clearly see this is just one more complicating factor to add to the mix in the long and very difficult effort to try to bring evan gershkovich home, jose. >> josh lederman, thank you so very much. coming up, breaking news about the secret service director who has been facing

this morning. new developments in the massive tech outage hitting industries around the world, bringing businesses to a standstill, grounding flights, impacting 911 services. it all started overnight when something went wrong with an update for crowdstrike, a major cyber security provider. joining us now, antonia hilton from newark international airport in new jersey. antonia, that's caused quite a mess for travellers. >> reporter: that's right, jose. this morning, i mean, our team has been here since about 5:00, 5:30 a.m. and a mess, chaos, those are the kinds of words we've been hearing from travellers all day. now behind me here, it's getting a bit clearer in the terminal, as opposed to the hundreds of people who were packed in the space with me just a few hours ago. that's not because they're all on their merry way on the flights they had booked. many people have had to leave newark because they're told their flights are cancelled and

they're unable to do rebookings at this time. so, there have been the lucky few who have gone through. but a lot of people are leaving, napping, or eating, as they hope to get more updates. the kiosks here aren't consistently working. the boards where people go to find out about delay information have also been inconsistent. what people are being told is they have to come here, wait in lines, and talk to a team member. in some cases, they're getting manual tickets if they're of the lucky few who are expected to take off today. so, you know, people are expecting this to spill over into the next several days. already i've spoken to people who tell me they're not sure they're going to be rebooked until sunday or first thing next week at this point. we know nationally that we're looking at about 5,000 delays and almost 2,000 cancellations at this point. and you know, it really has hit home for people, jose, as i talked to them, the realization that this kind of software that one or two companies involved in this have such a global impact, such a hold on all of our lives,

that's really come -- you know, it's hitting hard here. and people are demanding answers. >> antonia hilton, thank you so very much. we have breaking news. the secret service director is going to appear before the house oversight committee on monday, as she faces more calls to resign over donald trump's assassination attempt. and happening now, a funeral for corey comperatore, father of two who was killed at the trump rally. the 50-year-old former fire chief died shielding his family from gunfire. and we have new video of the moment donald trump was rushed off stage. here it is. this is a different angle than the one we have been seeing for coming up on a week now. tomorrow in michigan, trump will speak at his first rally since surviving the assassination attempt. with us now is nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainslie. julia, good morning. what can we expect from the

secret service director's testimony before congress? >> jose, we know there was some push and pull over when she would testify. the house oversight committee asked her to testify on monday. they did that through subpoena. at first the secret service responded with a number of other dates she was available. but today there was a bipartisan call for her to testify on monday. so, she's making herself available. we can expect them to hit her hard, especially over three things. one is why that roof was outside of the secret service's security perimeter. they left that to local police. why did they do that? what was the plan going forward? also, there could be some criticism over how the secret service handled trump after he was shot. we saw he was able to stand up and give that fist bump. why was he not kept down in case there was another shooter? and why was he not immediately pulled off stage. we're also going to hear questions about what the secret service knew when. a timeline provided to congress, the secret service knew about

5:53 p.m. about a suspicious person local law enforcement was seeking. they did not know he was armed at that point. they still allowed trump to take the stage at 6:02 and the shooting happened at 6:11. what happened during those critical moments? she'll get a lot of pressure over that. but especially the planning. that's something they had some insight into. they could have done more planning. they could have talked to limitation of motion law enforcement to figure out if they were resourced well enough to take on the responsibility they were given. and why, when they knew that roof was a vulnerability, did they not do more to secure it? jose? >> julia ainslie, thank you so very much. we are also following another bit of breaking news. another democratic senator calling for president biden to leave the presidential race. ali vitali is back with that. ali, who is it and what do we know? >> this is new mexico senator martin hime rick, jose. just in the last few minutes here, a statement from his office praises joe biden for the

work he has done legislatively as president, says that the decision to step down as the party's nominee would ultimately be his, but encourages him to pass the torch. it's notable because heinrich becomes the third senator to call on biden to step down as the party's standard bearer. the second in less than 24 hours. and also the second senator who is in cycle, which means they are running for re-election. we, of course, saw late last night, montana senator jon tester come out against a very difficult political landscape in his own state to say that he thinks that the president should no longer be the party's nominee. that's certainly something that some of his colleagues might have expected, especially, as i mentioned, given the tough political landscape in that state and in his re-election battle. but certainly for heinrich, too, this is notable, as we watch more senators clearly feeling that now is the time to come forward. and as i mentioned when i was on

with you earlier yesterday and into today, the sense i have gotten from most of our congressional sources is that the posture for elected democrats here has shifted not to questioning if biden will step down but when that will actually be happening. certainly even just in the last hour, we have seen more than half a dozen elected democrats here in congress come forward to say they no longer think that biden should be their nominee. >> ali vitali on capitol hill. thank you very much. this comes as the congressional hispanic caucus' campaign arm has endorsed president biden in a statement saying, president biden and vice president harris have delivered for the latino community and chc bold pac is proud to endorse them for re-election. with us now, nannette barragan, who chairs the congressional hispanic caucus. always a pleasure to speak with you. yesterday on our program, california senator, alex

barilla, a member of the caucus, was categorical in his support for president biden and his re-election. what is your position today? >> it has not changed at all. i'm 1,000% behind this president. i just spent a few days with him in nevada. i saw him on the go. i saw the reception. i saw what people were saying to him. they were telling him to stay in, to fight. and today we're proud that the hispanic caucus' political arm, bold pac, is endorsing the president, led, of course, by chair linda sánchez. that is because president biden has delivered for latino communities. let's just see what happened last night at the convention. republicans put up the architect of family separation. tom prime dl time tv. they whipped up the crowd into a frenzy about plans to come after latino immigrants.

the contrast between president biden and donald trump. we know he has delivered on the economy and jobs and health care. a lot of work to do, no doubt. but we are in this to win it. i know the president made that clear as well. >> how do you explain what we are seeing? how do you think the president is seeing this? he had a process in the primaries. millions of voters, many african american and latino democrats voted for joe biden for re-election, to be the standard bearer of the party. how do you think and how do you explain what we are seeing now? >> 14 million voters had their voices heard. just yesterday as well, we saw a prominent -- thousands of black women write a letter asking the president to stay in.

we now have the congressional hispanic political arm endorsement. we have colleagues standing with president biden. that's the story that's not told often. but that's what is happening. we know there are concerns. we know there are differences. but i know the president can win this. we can do it if we unite together, we go out there and we do the work. we continue to talk about the president's message and his plans. it's not just about what we have done, whether it was the infrastructure bill, whether it's expanding access to health care, and, of course, when you talk to latino voters and you tell them about the protections that are now given to the spouses of u.s. citizens, some of them don't even know about that. we have to do a better job of getting that word out. yesterday we also saw the president put out -- put together this new advisory board for hispanic serving institutions. we know that he is the best choice for our latino

communities. trump would be a disaster for latinos in a second term. >> congresswoman, the president as we know is recuperating at his home because he got covid in that nevada trip you were on with him. talk to the president directly. what do you want him to know? what do you want to tell him? >> i have been with the president for the last several days and had many opportunities to talk to him. part of that was talking about continuing the engagement on the work. as you saw, the president was on the go, going from one event to the next event, shaking hands, getting that warm reception. it's just reminding people about what he has done, but also telling people about what he is going to do. we are still hearing, of course, concerns about high prices. it's about telling the plan of how to bring those down as well as we see actions that he is taking in real time to make

suggestions and ask congress to put the cap on increases in things like rent and making sure that we're helping and doing everything we can for the person people. he needs four more years to finish the job, to finish the implementation of the policies, to build on them to help the american people. i have no doubt that he is the best choice. i have no doubt that he can win. i continue to stand with him and the vice president. >> we just had on a member of congress, a democrat, who was one of the first to ask the president to step aside. he said that he doesn't think that the president could keep a campaign schedule and that he could not be a person who could communicate all of the issues that are so important for this election. saying he doesn't think he can do that effectively. at least two of your members in the congressional hispanic caucus have called on the president to step aside. how much support is there for

the president within the congressional hispanic caucus? >> i think there's overwhelming support amongst my colleagues and certainly in the hispanic caucus. i was just with the president. i spent day and night with him for two and a half days. he started early in the morning. he answered questions. i know he can keep a campaign schedule. i have seen it. i witnessed it. of course, we know covid is out there. it hasn't ended. we hear about the rise again. the president got covid. you know what? i'm looking forward to being on the campaign trail with him and showing people that he is going to go out there and continue to engage. it's not just him. we all have to do our part as lawmakers, congress members, our members are ready to get to work to get on the trail. we are looking forward to doing that. >> thank you very much for being with us this morning.
