i'm chris jansing, and this is the united center, home for the next four days for the democratic national convention. you can see the stage being set. they've been doing mic tests, and right up front, the pennsylvania delegation is joe biden's home state. he'll be speaking tonight. it's also the state with the most delegates. everywhere you look you see signs. one says "history is in your hands." the message they want to send to the delegate. how much this moment mean. plus, passing the torch. president biden prepares to lay out his legacy as he gets to to play a very different role. what could be one of the last political moments of his long career. and massive crowds outside the convention halls as protesters call for change. it's not just outside, as dozens of uncommitted are among the

delegates inside. i'll speak to one of them. we begin here in a race transformed by the new nominee, the biggest sign of that, the state next to pennsylvania, joe biden's state, will be california. democrats gathering in chicago to support the vice president, whose sudden ascension has dramatically altered this race. they have one big job -- build on the momentum some president biden dropped out. that momentum began immediately. the entrepreneur in a juggernaut. while all of that has given her a -- as a leader, she is largely

unknown to the country. so, on the stage behind me tonight, the party's first big chance to introduce her to an audience that has heard about her, but doesn't know her. how will she approach it? she talked about it just last night. >> it's coming along. obviously there's a lot at stake, but there's a lot to feel good about the future. so there's a lot about what i believe is a new way forward, and bringing everyone along in that. with me here is andrea mitchell, nbc's kelly o'donnell, and our mismobs political contributor. deja vu, ladies. let's how the harris campaign plans to take this moment.

the hardest thing is keeping it. investment so. always the risk of someone happening, something that could change that energy, but they also look as it as the biggest platform and opportunity. one official said it's a clean slate moment. all of those pieces to try to make an impact, and especially among those voters who having disengaged, but might be taking another look. >> i've been talking to some of the people down on the floor, and we saw doug emhoff, the first gentleman doing his mi dr. check. they're all expressing this energy, this enthusiasm, the big change they have seen. what are you hearing? i know you talk to a lot of democratic insiders. >> they're all talking about they want to focus on that, but

they know right around the corner is another attack, another stumble. they have to worry about protests with the uncommitted delegates. those from michigan, some from minnesota, those who don't like the gaza policy. they're very excited about the change form the generational change is getting more people engaged. i spoke to senator klobuchar about this. here's what she had to say. >> we've reached this point where kamala harris is running on her merits, bringing the receipts of she's been an international leader as well as national leader. she has, as i noted done everything flaw leslie, including picking an excellent running mate from the state of minnesota, where we just love our vice presidents.

i think you'd hear about the first woman, but what's more important is having someone who has their backs, not going backwards to the dark days of donald trump. that's what you'll hear a lot about. >> of course she under attack from donald trump. >> so far it's been personal instead of policy, much to the regret of some republicans. >> it's skinned of summarized where it says the harris campaign is heady on buzz, and light on policy. what would the next four days looks like? and when you get me, this is what you get? >> they released their party

platform, 92 pages, that is essentially the same thing they've been using, even biden's second term is in there like 20 times in the document the way one of my colleague put is is a continuity with change. it will look very similar, some tinkering around the edges, but she's in a awkward position. i talked to many whomp staff follow al gore, and talking about how do you distance yourself from the man you have to meet in the oval office the next day. this is clearly a place in which they're struggling to do so. her and president biden agree on a vast amount of things, so i think the american people can expect similar things, but more that governor walz was able to

do in minnesota, right? paid family leave, extending the child tax credit. i think what voters want to hear from them, and they started to see this and do this is on the economy and immigration this was always a biden election to win, right? you weren't seeing voters race to president biden who delivered on all these promises. they were talking about donald trump and the vibes of the election. the feels-like part of the race. that's changed you have pretty soon you'll have a nominee, will they be the nerdy democrats, and throw out a lot of policy papers or spend the rest of the 80 days and keep with the vibes that we have. you know, they're going to get hid on that.

the d.c. republicans are already doing that. >> the nerdy half/glass half empty democrats we often saw. there's a conversation going on, they feel bush but they also know, as andrea pointed out, it doesn't take much for things to turn. so kamala harris was asked about this. here's what she said. >> reporter: do you still consider yourself an underdog? >> very much so. we have a lot to do to earn the vote of the american people. that's why here on this bus tour today, and we'll be traveling the country listening to folks and hopefully earnings their votes. >> eugene, as you talk to people who have run the campaigns, the biggest danger is when you will you year guard down.

is she the underdog? >> i think, yes. even before that when he ran her own race, this is a country that doesn't know her well. they have strong feels about joe biden and donald trump, but they don't fully know her yet. part of this is having to reintroduce herself in a real serious way. one thing she's always said behind closed doors, she's always worried about losing the election to the couch, having people stay home form they have to continue to work. she continues to remind them to get people off of the couch. when you're a front-runner, or you feel complacent, you typically don't do a lot of things that an underdog would do. you don't get on a bus tour in the western part of pennsylvania

where democrats haven't been, and definitely president biden hadn't been spending a lot of time. you don't get to eastern north carolina to get more rural voters out there. so she's trying to make very clear that 80 days is almost nothing when she jump in, democrats were losing in a lot of key state and the national, so polling shows maybe a different story that's changing. both of you, obviously everyone wants to leave their convention unified. the republicans did. they were on fire. we saw how quickly that changed. let me ask you about the protesters outside right now, are they the biggest threat to democratic unity? are democrats themselves, as i said, the history of glass half

empty, the biggest threat, what are you hearing about people's real concerns here. >> i think it's something they anticipated for many months. that is, in a way, baked in. they recognized the authenticity. president biden is working very hard to try to bring about a cease-fire. my sense is while they know it's unpredictable, it could pop off in ways that are worrisome, it's almost a parallel story to what's happening here inside the hall, where there is a reconfigured, reenergized party that all of a sudden believes winning is possible, still tight, and all of that, but almost a parallel line that are real and threaten key states. is there any underestimate donald trump at your peril? >> yes. look, we covered 2016 little we

knows what it means to under estimate donald trump. they'll have a ton of money. they will dominate social media. you can't predict what happens from russia, iran, in terms of misinformation, ai, deepfakes, a whole host of things can happened overseas. an iranian strike, an escalation of a war, things they have no control over. i think the wise people in the party, as unified and enthusiastic and as excited as they democrats are, they don't -- they're almost unrecognizable as democrats coming in, because they are so united, and so enthusiastic about the generational change and the other changes they're seeing, and the concerns that many had about joe biden after that debate, being erased by his

generous decision to step aside. no one can force him to. there's no way to get him out without having made that big decision, but they can't predict what can happen with a nasty, bitter, expensive campaign from the republicans that could tear this place apart. >> there's no doubt what we're going to see. a nasty and very expensive campaign. kellie o'donnell, andrea mitchell, eugene daniels, fantastic partial, so lucky to have you all here. thank you very much for that. still to come, in 90 seconds, president biden passing the porch, what will his message be when he takes the stage tonight? we're back after this. takes the tonight? we're back after this. let's get started. bill, where's your mask? i really tried sleeping with it, everybody. but i'm done struggling. now i sleep with inspire. inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with just the click of this button.

will see is this diagnose history is in your hands. it comes from president biden's address in july tonight he will past the torch, with the last big political moments of his long career. nbc's mike memoli has covered the president for over a decade. not the convention that they -- i think this is his 13th democratic nabil convince. he only missed one in 1988 he turned 30 after that election.

when he comes to the stage, he will speak as that person with unique perspective. he's going to talk, one, about the partner in progress, that kamala harris has been, in achieves what the administration has done. but he will be very plain and stark in laying out the stays this role of statesman is one that president biden is unique suited to play. take a listen. >> what he will show tonight is one of my favorite quotes about politics -- politicians worked about the next election. statesmen worry about the next generation. it was a statesman who came off the sideline four years ago to beat the worst president in the history of the united states, a

person who posed the biggest threat to the united states, and as a statesman who passed and who will pass the baton to vice president harris, to continue to put this country first. >> reporter: this will be an emotional night for many. they expect to see a tribute video, remarks from the first lady as well. the president will have mixed emotions. he's sealing "this is your life" treatment before in past conventions. he will focus on the task at hand, and they may share a moment on stage after his speech. >> mike memoli, always great to see you. i'm looking for you. >> high above the stage. with me is senator harry

reid, and former speech write jeff nusbaum. i think it will be an overstatement to say this is a huge moment, a passing of the porch is a moment visually, a moment rhetorically, and a moment i think a lot of people who will be here tonight, whether or not they thought joe biden should step down, need to hear. no probe problem. i to go back to his senate departure speech when he departed to become vice president. he talked about how much america can change over someone's life in service. on one hand, that's his last valedictory, and then i went to his inaugural, how much there is to store, build, heal.

so i think tonight there could be an attempt to bridge those two things. >> one of harris people people told one of my colleagues this. he will not be able to speak there will be so much applause. people in the democratic party value him now more than ever. how important is it for him to kick op. also, there is this sense of people coming around and understanding he doesn't have to do this. he doesn't have to step down. >> absolutely right. the applause, the love will be unbelievable. what he did was an incredible and ofselflessness. i think the appreciation for what he accomplished as

president, and the selfless act to step down, i think this place will rock tonight. >> there's a personal part of this, too. he's earned this. he's earned the love. he's earned the right to bask in. he's not staying for the rest of the convention. he's going to california with jill, the first lady. how do you think this will be for him, someone who has faced the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows inches i think about this a lot. when he had his last convention and inauguration, there weren't huge audiences because of covid. this is the first chance he gets to be the victor. adam, you said something i thought was powerful. he said he was going to be a

bridge. in this moment when he announced his candidacy, he said, restore the soul of the nation, rebuild the middle class and the infrastructure. he's the rarest of presidents to say i've kept every promise i made. >> i wonder what you see joe biden's role going forward. where are the places he can really go out and make a difference for her. i would start with pennsylvania. he's well loved in that state, and then i would duke ever look -- >> do you think he can make a difference. >> the eastern part of the state, philadelphia, what we call the collar counties, certain philadelphia, there is a huge audience for him there. i also think the mid western, what they call the blue wall states of wisconsin, michigan are places where he can connect

with voters, who he's had a deep connection with through his career. >> it is going to be fascinating to watch. jeff nussbaum, and adam jenlteson, thank you both. the state's democratic party chair joins us to talk about how kamala harry has changed the race. later on, steve kornacki will take us behind the polling lines. we're live from the dnc in chicago. lines. we're live from the dnc in chicago.

he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. the state of georgia is into in contention for democrats, a battleground that both candidates say is critical to winning the presidency. >> if we lose georgia, we lieu the whole thing and our country goes to hell. >> the path to the white house runs right through this stage. [ applause ] and you all helped us win in 2020, and we're going to do it again in to 24. >> the sunbelt "new york times" polls shows the trending to harris, but georgia should be the deepest climb.

so, what's the key here? look, you know, you cannot take anything for granted in georgia. it's been a long fight for democrats there to even be in the conversation. what's it going to take? >> we were counted out in 2020, and we delivered for the first time in 28 years for a democratic presidential candidate. 28 years. we sent not one, but two u.s. senators to give us the senate majority. we know it's an uphill battle, but we're accustomed to being counted out. voters care about their freedom to vote. they care about the reproductive freedom. they care about sending their kids with the freedom to learn our full and factual history. we're going to continue to have that conversation with georgia voters. >> a victory feeds the need to win again, but also gives you

lessons. what did you learn from those victories four years ago. what is the secret sauce. will it be difficult now? >> we also had an election two years ago, where we sent our senator raphael warnock for another six years, and we were told that would be a fluke, but we pulled it off again. our voters protection team we have vice president tier attorneys make sure that when voters turn out to cast their vote, they're actually counted. . >> so 159 volunteers so they are

traveled then we can make sure that we're atting that in roll time. >> and donald trump has unloaded on him very recently, maybe a metropolitan ago. some of his supporters that's not a smart thing to do to go after a popular governor of the state? >> i haven't seen a lot of things that donald trump is doing that are quite smart for winning an election. >> whether you say it's picking a fight with kemp or not, is it all just inside baseball, or do you think voters are paying attention? >> the one thing i know, even with donald trump trying to overturn the will of georgia

voters, even with him actually talking about brian kemp's wife, he's still saying he's going to vote for the man who brags about overturning roe v. wade, he's going to vote for the man who stood there on the stage and is by the republicans who are making it harder for georgians to cast their ballots and get them counted. >> kemp, in this sense, has a vaunted turnout operation. that's how he got to be where he is today, and trump did lose four years ago, but only by 12,000 votes. my math -- i had it double checked -- >> 11,280. >> do you worry about that? >> i worry about the fact that we have someone running for

president, that won't even accept the will of the voters. we know there will be a fight for every single vote. we are a battleground state through and through. we're going to be even throughout the entire thing. the first day after the vice president announcing she was running, we had over 1,000 new volunteers to the democratic party of georgia. our donations increased by 320% just at the democratible party of georgia. we are ready to do the work, our volunteers are energized and fired up. and would have put more in if the fire marshals would have let us. >> it's good to do you here, congresswoman. >> thank you. >> jd vance is campaigning just moments ago, he wrapped up remarking in philadelphia. this is just the first stop in a

swing state tour that he's taking during the democratic national convention. vaughn hillyard is following it for us. >> jd vance there, i want you to listen to a bit of his remarks just ahead of his running mate donald trump appearing two hours west later here today in york, pennsylvani take a listen for the beginning of the counter-attack. >> pennsylvania is an edge credibly important state to me and president trump. it's a state with a proud energy position, a produce manufacturing tradition. we believe if we make more stuff in america, pennsylvania workers, and pennsylvania families will benefit, so we'll be here a lot, taking our message to the whole state. >> donald trump 48 hours ago had ute rally in wilkes-barre,

pennsylvania, so for this ticket here, this is just the beginning of what is, frankly the busiest campaign trail week for donald trump since he launched his bid back in 2022, not only the stops here in pennsylvania, but making his way to michigan, north carolina, arizona, nevada here, all this week. chris, this is a campaign unlike one that donald trump has run before. in 2016, 2020, with hillary clinton and joe biden, biographically, and on policy and substance, they were very defined, so a broad part of the electorate. now with just over a month before early voting begins, donald trump is left with an opponent in kamala harris, who is largely introducing herself separate from joe biden and the biden administration, to the american populace.

in prime time for four nights this week. so donald trump has criticized the harris campaign for coming up with policy specifics that are counter to those when he was a presidential candidate herselves. donald trump has lacked a lot of policy specifics himself. outside of calling some attention to the economy or the migrant crisis that ensued the last four years, so for donald trump, there's a messaging issue as he work to combat what is a democratic ticket when he was at the republican national convention, he was facing a different point, so this is an upsidedown race for him. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you. ahead, what we can expect

from hillary clinton and more, and steve kornacki breaks it all down right after this. e kornackl down right after this. the thing you care about most is a job well done. ♪♪ but when you get your tools from harbor freight something about the job feels a little different - your wallet. because we believe no matter what you're working on you need high quality tools at a great price. and that's what we're all about. ♪♪ whatever you do, do it for less, at harbor freight. ♪♪ have you ever considered getting a walk-in tub? well, look no further! at harbor freight. 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.

new polls shows a big shift of democrat satisfaction has transportled since kamala harry replaced the president at the top of the ticket.

how is it translating to the wider american audience? steve kornacki joins me at the big board with the latest polling snapshot. a lot of people having asking me which polls, numbers, how do i follow this? please, break it down for us. what are the polls shows at least today. >> yeah. what we thought we would do is take a look at all of the polls, all of the major polls out there that have been out there. it's basically been one month since cam ha harris replaced sxwroib join, and before that, it was about a month between that first debate, that one debate that sort of brought biden's campaign to an end with his formal exit. we're going to take you through the average of all of the polls looking at the month before harris got in and since. bottom line, in the average

right -- this is our average of the major polls harris with a two-point advantage over donald trump. this is over the last month. in the month before that, when joe biden was still the democratic candidate it was trump by three over biden. that's the big bottom-line shift. harris for the last month. biden in the month before that. to break it down more one of the big change is that gen popularity question. do you have a favorable or unfavorable view. this is where donald trump was. in the month since harry got in. this is where donald trump is. the exact same. just as unpopular, maybe more, and when she first got in the race, kamala heart rizz was right in the same ballpark, but look what has happened. her average favorable score is up eight points, unfavorable is

still high, but went from a majority to just under 50%. those numbers you can see, they are better than donald trump's numbers on the favorable/unfavorable. break it down further, and you look at the subgroups, white voters, again, what we're seeing here in 2020, donald trump bea joe biden by 13 points. in that month after the debate when tiffs still trump versus biden, trump on average was leading biden by 14 points among white voters. they're basically 70% of the electorate in november, obviously a huge group. in the month since biden got on you, that number is down a tick, down to 11 points for trump, but, again, with a group that large, 70%, that could be a pretty meaningful shift if that were to endue. black voters, a lot of talk before joe biden got out, he was

struggling at unusually low levels for democrat. 71/19 over trump. historically this is closer to what the black vote typically looks like. since harris got in, there's improvement for harris, as she's running 61 points ahead, but that trump number, evening the polling, that is unusually high for a candidate to be polls that high. the picture is less unfavorable than when was -- his spanish voters, this is where you see a major shift performing very with hispanic voters with joe biden as the candidate. look at this. in the month before biden got out, this is what it looked like on average. again, 40% for trump right now historically speaking, that would be very impressive, but that's a big change with this the context of this race, from biden winning by an average of

three, harris now over the last month by archr an average of 13 points. that's a momentum -- or threat a statistical shift in the democrats' favor. also young voters, you see it as well. so much with joe biden struggling relatively speaking with union voter, they had been winning 18, an eight-point margin before leaving the race. look at this, she laze with under-30s by a 14-point jump. overall harris up two on average. biden had been down three on average, and these are some of the groups that are he heart of that movement. >> always fascinating stuff. steve kornacki, thank you. up next, the disruptions expect this had week with pro-palestinian protests already underway. you're watching "chris jansing

some progress in the push for our gaza cease fire and hostage deal, stemming for a new conversation president biden had with prime minister netanyahu. >> in a constructive meeting, he confirmed to me that israel accepts the bridging proposal, that he supports it. it's now incumbent on hamas to do the same. >> nbc's shaquille brewster is reporting from the protest area, which is near the convention center. it looks like they're just gathering right now, shaq, but what are they telling you? what are you seeing? >> reporter: yeah, chris, we're about a half mile from the united center. that's of course where vice president harris will accept the democratic nomination, but this is the known protest during the dnc. organizers said coming into this they were expecting 28,000 people. it just started. we're still seeing people file in. you may hear speakers behind me. the interesting thing here is just how widespread the demands

are. you have about 200 groups, 200 groups that have formed this coalition, and they're arguing for things from reproductive rights to lgbtq plus rights, to immigrant rights. the main message when you talk to these organizations is that they are against the war in gaza, and they're trying to send a message to the democratic party that they don't like the u.s. support for israel. i want you to listen to a little bit of the conversations, a few of the conversations i have been having. >> we want to see the genocide end in palestine, and we want to see the democrats support an end to the genocide in palestine. >> the democrats are the one in power. they are the ones in israel, not trump. they are the ones telling us that there should be a cease fire, but on the other hand, are sending billions and billions to israel. so something doesn't add up, and today they're going to have to

hear it. >> reporter: now, this group will continue to rally here, and then in about an hour, we're expecting them to march on this mile long parade route that's going to bring them within blocks of the united center, chris. >> shaquille brewster, thank you for that. and back with me. long time democratic senate staffer, adam jentleson. kind of a tight rope for democrats with this. they are going to have some prominent muslim politicians on the stage. they have been having conversations with people who represent some of the major groups that shaq is talking about. but what in the world does kamala harris do? >> i think what she's going to do is find a way to bring this tent coalition together. you're already seeing that. you've seen it in a lot of the polling that's come out since she's become the nominee where a lot of the softness that existed for president biden with some of the groups who are more likely to be at protests like this, like young people, has snapped back, and kamala harris is very strong in those areas. and i think it's a challenge to

embrace a big tent party, recognize the concerns being raised at these protests while also trying to move the party forward with an eye towards victory in november. the vice president has proved adept at handling that challenge. >> this is a race of centimeters, not inches, and one of the states is michigan. michigan has the largest muslim population. it's where a lot of these protests have come from. kamala harris needs michigan. and so what should be her message to them? and does she need to speak more directly to them? i know her campaign manager does, but what should be her outreach? >> i think she's trying to send a message that these folks are being heard. they're being taken into consideration, their views are being taken into consideration. we open the segment with progress being made towards a cease fire, which is what a lot of protesters are demanding or the central demand when it comes to this issue. progress on that front would

certainly be very helpful towards the vice president, obviously helpful for humanitarian reasons and ending the conflict there. on the political end, when you talk about when she needs to do to manage the difficult coalition dynamics, that would go a long way as we. >> adam, thank you for sticking around, appreciate it. what the economy now looks like heading into the dnc and how voters feel about harris's economic agenda. stay close, we've got lots more "chris jansing reports" live from the dnc in chicago right after this. t teafr this kleball? - pickle! ah, these guys are intense. with e*trade from morgan stanley, we're ready for whatever gets served up. dude, you gotta work on your trash talk. i'd rather work on saving for retirement. or college, since you like to get schooled. that's a pretty good burn, right?
