is jamaal bowman.nd for viewers who need a refresher, jamaal bowman o had a history of anti semitic statements. anhe lost his seat. he couldn't wi n his own primary, . so what is kamala harris to do? because she needs to have she crazy side of the party,e jm the jamaal bowman side, but she can't lose mainstreamt americans. >> so. so what does she do? well, look, you're seeing it yoe in real time. this is why chuck schumer called for benjamin netanyahu to be replaced by nancy pelosian ,called for him to resign and boycotted yesterday's speech. this comes down to electoral politics and democrats are concerne d that they're growing pro-hamas wing of theiry party is going to stay home in november and cost them states like michigan and cost them swing districts like mine. you know, i'm running against progaire jones, who was the third most progressive member of congress when he servedcongrs one term. he supported defunding the police . he supported open borders, called ice agents racists and terroristsrders

bowman.welcome back to democracy now! it is great to have you with us. if you can start off i just responding to these historic events that took place this weekend with president biden suffering from covid, not to mention the poll ratings and enormous pressure from within his party, announcing he is stepping aside and endorsing kamala harris to be president. >> since february, the uncommitted movement has been saying president biden's policy on gaza was disqualifying enough for him to be the democratic nominee because the policy had fractured the democratic party. this was on top of growing concerns amongst the parties electorate, the base about biden 's positions on the economy, cost-of-living, and his age. the coalition has been fracturing for months preceding the debate performance and the coalition was not really there to back the president once he had the disastrous debate performance. for a long time now, the uncommitted movement, particularly in states like michigan, minnesota and wisc

progressive congressman jamaal bowman lost his primary race last month as you know. democrats are shifting their focus to the next squad member that could be on the chopping block, missouri representative cori bush. this week house democratic leadership endorsed their endorsement of bush ahead of her primary next month. see is locked in a tight race with leslie bell. recent polls show bell is closing the gap with her as voters grow frustrated with her anti-israel stance. what would you say first of all to what is happening in this race? i have to say, this whole far-left all go -- you hit it right on the head. clearly it is not working. you have to laugh a little bit about the irony that the party of identity politics, the party that absolutely loves talking about whatever box they check, they are having an identity crisis right now. they don't know who will be at the top of the ticket this november. their squad member, champions of the progressive left are losing. >> julie: we have to go. >> when you think about what is happening with cori bush. >> julie: we have to

bowman than joe biden, who has been very vocal about his steadfast support of the state of israel jamaal bowman, of course, member of the squad of progressive lawmaker who just lost his primary but i think that sort of encapsulates the position that she's and she has a very progressive stepdaughter. she was jewish husband who is a staunch supporter of israel himself and you have some reporting about a conversation last that's right yesterday. >> yesterday afternoon? the finance committee chair that previously worked for the biden campaign. now harris campaign campaign was asked in no uncertain terms by dozens of wall street donors what is your policy on the economy? what's your policy on israel? where is she on that issue? and i was told that rufus gifford, who was helming that call for the campaign, said, give us a few days. we need to iron that out. they needed to figure out where she stands on some issues were previously she's needed to be fully aligned with biden and the biden administration. and now she might want to take a slightly different tone dana, she might be able to navigate

bowman and maybe staying tight lipped and trying to appear less radical and they're worried about theeverybody in the democrat party is self-serving and most are and they're curious of the squad and they're choosing to stand behind joe and think maybe the first female black president. stuart: if he's elected, to put it mildly, he's unlikely to be still the president in 20 whatever it is. it's going to be, the vice president will be kamala harris. we'll love to have kamala harris with a problem. >> there's very few people that will publicly talk about how much they love kamala harris and i don't see a lot of people up till maybe a week and a half ago when talking about replacements for joe biden and kamala's name was not in the mix and maybe till the last week that people have from an obligation standpoint talked about kamala, but in the early discussions, it's all been about gavin, gretchen, kamala's name was way down that list and she's the current vice president. that's got to sting. stuart: we've got like a snowballing movement here of more and more democrats saying the president s

jamaal bowman just lost a big primary in new york. part of that was abet israel, but part of her squad, member of the squad, newer part of it was this perception that he was not a loyal democrat. he did invite for the bipartisan infrastructure law. i think that way but they're trying to show is that we're the loyal ones. we're here, we're sticking with joe. joe is given the hard left, a huge amount. the so-called unity platform staffers from the elizabeth warren network. they know they owe him a huge amount and they think heads i win tails, you lose either way, even if trump loses, they're going to be very well positioned. if it's like a josh shapiro, suddenly they don't have those deep ties, those deep connections, that deep obligation. and that's going to be really interesting, right? >> let's play this out. jonah, let's say biden sometime in the next few days, people are suggesting as early as sunday announces i'm out. now he may endorse or he may not endorse. what is the could you in the course of the next month before the democra

maybe that's why jamaal bowman pulled that alarm. we don't know that fire. but the only. the only way, the only technology involved. if joe biden is on fire, is that hunter was lighting up too close to his oxygen tank. but other than that, technology is not the issue is what i'm saying. but you make a good point. russia didn't give us identity politics or die, or made shoplifting legal if it was under 900 bucks. america is destroying itself without putin's help. cat, did you see blame it on russia strategy coming? that was the dumbest question. yes, honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself. if not you, whoever that is that asked that like of all the things that are going on right now, you're going to ask that question like, is russia sharing it? maybe everyone is sharing it because the videos are insane. yeah, that's it's. okay. so also when i hear election interference, i don't just think of that as like talking about what happened the other week. yeah. like for her to take that to a level of then talking about i that is crazy. there's no i that was reality. we all sa

bowman. democrats, including one of biden's closest friends. it was known for decades saywhoi his singlem fo upcoming damage control interview with george stephanopoulos george over the weekend. it won't be enough to assure the american people. >> look, i think they've got to do a lot of stuff. >> iy hae got to get him outre there this week. people thatow he is strong. you know, they should have prepared us for a raspy voice on thursday night, to be perfectly frank. therfect. did >> so one interview isn't going to fix this either. nothing that's beer.n happeningd is encouraging. and so, you know, we all loveov george stephanopoulos and that's great. but like, it's got to be a lot more thae georgetn that.as t it's got to be a barnstorm, it's got to be a townhalls in hostile environments, probably like fox news and show us you could make make the case those people had ds next to their name and their right. >> one single interview with a man who used to be the press secretary for bill clinton, w

we're seeing people like senator mark warner, progressive, house member jamaal bowman getting behind her as the democratic nominee how many is that what you expect to see from the democratic party or is this going to become this, this complicated contest where you are seeing other democrats, throw their hat in the ring for this nomination no, for about ten days or so, i've been hearing about this movement, particularly a moderate senators, people who are on the line and the upcoming states a lot of donors who we frankly weren't big, kamala harris fans know a year ago, who've been calling around saying listen to this works out, and she's the nominee. >> we will move over. i would expect i, called them super friends, right? you'll start to see more of the super friends come together. and by that, i mean, we've already seen a statement from president bill clinton from what i just heard on air i think you may hear from president barak obama. you may hear from some of the other big luminary names in the democratic party who will come out and say commonly her as the person. >> here's the r
